Remote Start / Alarm suggestions

I'm starting to piece together a sound system in my truck, and need an alarm system. And with winter around the corner I'd like to have the remote start feature as well...

What I'm looking for:
Remote Start
2 way paging (remote with LCD notification)
When I lock the truck, I want the windows to roll up. and the option to roll them down when I unlock it.
good sensors etc...


what system are you using? what options do you have? how much is it? are you pleased with it?

I want to get this installed before I put in any stereo equipment.
thanks!

I'm looking at the Clifford Matrix 50.5 for my XR with the optional tilt sensor but I'm stuck looking for a good authorized installer in So Cal. I've seen some of the shops listed on their site and they look pretty ghetto.

I don't think you can go wrong with Viper or Clifford 2way page alarms.

Im using the UNGO system (Clarion). It works good for starting the truck it just doesnt have a very far range, about 50 yards max. but my car is parked right in front of my house so i dont care too much.

Python, Viper, & Clifford are made by the same company DEI. They each have a model with a 1 mile range.

All good choices IMHO.

Clifford would be a good solid alarm also.

Compustar makes some highly acclaimed products with superb range. That's what I'm saving up for.

I have a ungo (clarion) I bought off ebay for 140 with shipping. The bad thing is the distance depend on the surrounds. It said DEI on the back of the module also the installation manual is the same as the viper 791vx remote alittle different.

Would anyone recommend the Compustar over the Clifford 50.5x? I'm looking to upgrade my Toyota alarm real soon, just trying to find the best security since people seem to have their cars vandalized at work a lot.
