    I would like to install a security system with remote start in an '09 Jeep 2 door Wrangler. I am looking at 2 way LED or OLED systems with a one mile range.

    My first question is what are the advantages/disadvantages of LCD and OLCD? easy/difficult to see day/night?

    Also, I guess seeing the display day or night is another important feature

    I was looking at these systems:

    1- Prestige XR09100

    2-Autopage RS-1000 OLED

    3- Viper 5901 Responder

    4- Python 1090

    Here are some features I would like to have:

    1- What is activation/deactivation distance?
    2- Large remote display? Easy to see day/night
    3- Does remote open doors and tailgate separately or all together?
    4- When canvas is down can alarm sense an intrusion via shock sensor?
    5- How does sensor adjust? Via remote?
    6- Does remote inform when car has started? How?
    7- Large remote display? Easy to see day/night
    8- Does system show temperature of inside vehicle?
    9- Can I extend the run time of engine if needed?
    10- Does remote show countdown of how long engine will run before shutdown?
    11- Does remote give visual and audible warnings? For which features?
    12- Can the remote starter feature shut off engine manually?
    13- Can I activate the alarm remotely with display showing activation?
    14- Does unit have a multi tone siren?
    15- Parking meter timer?

    You will like the OLED alot better than the regular LCD. Its alot more "high tech". I have the Prestige you listed. Also, Code Alarm has one. Its the SRT9000. Ive installed a few of those before.

    1- What is activation/deactivation distance? I think most or all of them are 1 mile that you listed. But you wont get that kind of range because of different factors. I still recommend a 1 mile tho.
    2- Large remote display? Easy to see day/night Yes.
    3- Does remote open doors and tailgate separately or all together? It will unlock all doors and that includes tailgate.
    4- When canvas is down can alarm sense an intrusion via shock sensor? ???
    5- How does sensor adjust? Via remote? Depends on the alarm. Some adjust on the sensor itself, but not the remote.
    6- Does remote inform when car has started? How? Yes. It shows a display.
    7- Large remote display? Easy to see day/night Yes.
    8- Does system show temperature of inside vehicle? Some. Read the specs.
    9- Can I extend the run time of engine if needed? Yes.
    10- Does remote show countdown of how long engine will run before shutdown? I dont think so.
    11- Does remote give visual and audible warnings? For which features? Yes...for alot of them.
    12- Can the remote starter feature shut off engine manually? Yes.
    13- Can I activate the alarm remotely with display showing activation? Yes.
    14- Does unit have a multi tone siren? Depends on the system. I dont bother with the siren and hook it up to the horn.
    15- Parking meter timer? Some.

    I suggest reading the specs on those systems. It will tell you what it does. All of those are good systems.

    I think he's talking about a tonneau cover correct? If so you would need some type of door/hood switch that will react differently to the cover being opened or closed. Not very hard to do....
