Yes you can find and program a remote for the '97+ models, but unfortunately for the '96 and ealier ES300's it is not that simple. From what I found in ALLDATADIY.com the keyless entry can only be programmed if you match the chip in the key with the chip in the main unit located behind the right rear trim panel. Basically you have to buy a new unit and key, which go for about $230. If I find out anything different I will be sure to let everyone know. I really want to use the keyless entry feature as well.

Thanks,
Dave
