3 remotes needed? Remote starter, alarm, notify me if alarm activated, & back window

Reposted from general discussions, didn't know where to post.
I would like to have the kind of system that my remote notifies me when my alarm is activated, also want engine kill to remain on rig, want the ability to open back window from my remote and a remote starter. Probably can't get it to make my coffee, but what is best way, to get most remote features, as listed and more if possible, without a bunch of remotes?
Currently I have stock system, on 2000 Limited. I have remote that sets alarm and a back window button. I understand that it kills engine if the coded key is not used.
Any suggestions?

Get the one that can give you a handy on the way to work while you're at it!

Just kidding...but there are some systems that you can prgram up to like 5 actions with just the one remote, but they get expensive. Google Viper for one, and there will be a bunch that come up...just go from there.
 
get a Viper 5901 and it can do all of that on one remote... it is about 250-350 online and u can install it urself but if not comfortable DIY bestbuy sells it with install for i believe for 500.

I ran wires to tailgate and tapped into the door lock circuit, and now I have up and down functions on remote. A ***** to get them from the dash into the tailgate, but I think it's worth it when I'm loading a 24 into the back.

Also got a piezo buzzer from the Source, and wired it to the alarm horn output. Replicates the Toyota buzzer (the factory one gets a message from the ECU to make a sound and you can't just power up the circuit).

I've got a Clifford 50.7x, which I believe is the same model as the Viper 5901 (both have the same parent company). I can remote start (supposedly from up to a mile away), roll up my back window, and get status feedback on my keyfob.

I did not install it myself, because I was having all the sensors and mics put in and figured it would take me 5X as long as a professional install. I've had it for about 4 years now and am pleased with it.
 
i did a viper unit as well with everything you are asking for. it set me back about 700 bucks but i added quite a few more bells and whistles such as back up batt,tilt sensor an a few kill switches. works great for my needs and was installed professionally. i personally wouldnt buy the alarm from an online vendor or ebay as warranty is void. if anything happens your sol. anything that has went wrong with my setup my installer has fixed and not charged me a dime.
