So I have this little receiver thing that sits on my dash. The PO told me it was for an aftermarket keyless entry system but he didn't have the remote for it anymore. It says Excalibur gold on the receiver.

Im confused because my truck is a sport and it has the factory keyless entry system in it already. Is this really necessary or should i just remove it? Does anyone have any experience with these or know anything about them?

Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me.

Here are some pics:

This is the receiver that sits on my dash:

Yeah it lights up like the system is still hooked up to the truck. I disconnected the receiver and my normal key fob still works fine

Pretty sure it's just an upgraded system. Like how some people get remote start and such. Never known anybody who has used theirs or seen that type of design but I think that's what it is.

Interesting I say if you can disconnect it and everything else still works get rid of it. That's just me.

Yeah I think I might try and get rid of it. It does look real old, I've never seen a keyless system that had a receiver that was out in the open like that
