Just put in a Python (DEI-- same as Viper) in mine, with starter
kill, shock sensor, windows roll up, etc. etc.

Since the wife likes to leave the truck and forget to lock the doors,
I've got it set to automaticly arm the alarm, and roll up the windows
after 5 minutes (if it wasn't already set)-- yet not lock the
doors, so you can't lock yourself out.

I could have gotten the remote start feature too, but where I live,
you don't have to preheat your truck to drive anywhere, so I passed on
that feature.
