Default 04 Malibu LT... is keyless entry standard?

Anyone know, or better yet does anyone have their original window sticker to see if it's listed as standard equipment? I'm at a loss here and don't understand why my car would be loaded to the "T" but not have keyless entry.

On my '04 Malibu Maxx LT, remote keyless entry is standard. IIRC, the only options available were:

OnStar
XM Radio
Group 1SB - Auto Dim Mirror, Homelink, Power Sunroof
Rear DVD / Audio System
AM/FM 6 Disc CD Player
Engine Coolant Heater

I got everything but XM, OnStar, Engine Coolant Heater.

Does your car have the factory remote start? If not does it still have the programming options for it in the radio?

Yup, it does, and it works like a charm a with the auto climate control system.

I finally found my answer... the dealer I bought my car from lied to me. With the LT package I should have keyless entry and remote start.
