: If you can find a Clifford remote.. I'm sure the technology has improved since '92.. you can get all the features plus more. My system has all windows up/down (front and rear) with sunroof open (good for those hot summer days). Remote lock/unlock, and when you arm it, any open item promptly closes, including the windows and sunroof... kinda cool. There are about 1 million other features as well, but I have not fooled with them.

I had also had an after market alarm installed (for the remote entry/close and for insurance purposes). This proved to be a problem because my car (a 1992 euro) had the BMW remote system installed too (without the infra-red transmitter however). The first two were VDO and did close the windows/roof when looking. The last one (a Serpistar) doesn't do that, instead I must hold the lock-button depressed until they are closed (just like the way closing the windows/roof with the key is done). Not nice...

: As a question to the others out there, is there a way to link my Clifford alarm to the stock LED light on the shifter console so that it will blink etc.?
> This is what was done with the VDO...the current alarm has a special LED which can be used to activate/deactivate the alarm using a electronic key.
But to answer the question: yes. It's just a normal LED.
