After market alarm recommendations

I did a couple mods this weekend, including the constant power for 12V and AC outlets. I also bought all the parts and supplies I'll need to add USB charging ports to every door, plus additional AC sockets under the dash, in the backseat, and in the rear cargo area. I plan to begin doing that mod in a week or two time depending.

I was actually going to squeeze in one last mod this weekend -- the back window up hack, as the lack of that function from the factory has long topped my (short) list of 4Runner annoyances.

I decided not to though, since I figure the chances are pretty high I'm going to want to get an aftermarket alarm system in the coming months, and I know some of them can be programmed to provide rear window up/down controls.

So that got me thinking about maybe accelerating that and picking one up now.

General requirements I'm looking for...

  • Usual alarm features
  • Remote starter, preferably with far range (1,000+ feet)
  • HIGHLY prefer a system that can also remotely start the AC or heater
  • Alert to either the alarm key fob or my smartphone when the alarm is triggered; option for silent alerts (text message, vibrate, or led lights)
  • Window breakage sensor
  • Internal motion sensors
  • Rear window up/down controls from remote control
  • Radio or GPS based vehicle tracking
  • Engine kill switch or immobilizer if alarm is activated


Wondering if any of y'all have any suggestions? I haven't used an aftermarket system for about 10 years; I had one on my old BMW Z3, but haven't needed one on either of my two cars since then.

Any suggestions?
