Default Location of RKE module/receiver

I have a dodge Stratus I just purchased used....love the car but it needs keyless entry. The local salvage yard has several of these cars and sbrings to pull parts from. I have been playing with the idea of adding a RKE option to the car. I already have 2 working FOB's I got off Ebay...but the car was not equiped to use them. Does anyone know where the RKE module is in a 2002 Stratus?

The RKE snaps on the BCM. Here is how to find it.
The Junction Block and Body Control Module (BCM) are attached to each other. After removal they can be separated.

Disconnect and isolate the remote battery negative cable from the terminal on the shock tower.
Open the front driver's door and remove end cap.
Remove power mirror switch bezel, radio bezel, and small bezel on the right side of the steering column.
Remove the left lower instrument panel trim.
Remove silencer.
Remove wire harness connectors from Junction Block.
Remove Junction Block three mounting screws.
Remove Junction Block/BCM by pulling straight down from the mounting bayonet.
Disconnect BCM wire connectors and remove the assembly.
Remove Junction Block/BCM from vehicle.
With the Junction Block/BCM removed from the vehicle, separate the BCM from the Junction Block by removing the four screws.
Disconnect BCM from the Junction Block.
Unsnap the remote keyless entry module from the BCM.
NOTE: The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) module is attached to the BCM. This must be transferred (if equipped) to the new BCM if being replaced.

NOTE: If BCM is replaced, the VTSS must be enabled in the new BCM via the scan tool in order to start the vehicle.
