Anyone know on what year outbacks they came standard on? was it 97 and up?

Every 97 Outback I've had included remote entry.

 

Perhaps look for hte little black button to program a remote. That may be easier that looking for that module under the dash.

What black button are you talking about the remote transmitter?

I know there are pics, or links to pics probably on cars101.

 

The "reset" button for programming keyfobs.

 

If you're lucky get on all 4's and look up behind the hood release pull for a little black button.

 

If you're not as lucky at one time it was wrapped in electrical take on a mess of wires under the steering column. May be easiest to take off the panel if you don't know what you're looking for. It's a black button. Then kinda hid them up under there and made then inconvenient to find.

 

There is probably an explanation of where to look for the module up under the dash as well.

My '97 did not come with keyless; I had to install it.

Was it an Outback?

Yup.
