On your units, do they have a Remote Panic Mode? How is the Panic mode activated/deactivated?

And finally, for the windows & sunroof. Does the windows rollup/down OR sunroof open/close with the remote (like with the key)?

Scotty,
I used a REC-11 from Omega. Many different ones out there and they are all about the same. Window and sunroof operation is much much more involved and not a direct setup on any unit i know of.
Panic is a simple 4th channel on the remote and is easy, push and hold to set off, push again to stop.
You can set most up to include turning on the interior lighting when you lock and unlock, I did to mine. It also flashed headlamps and the horn honks as a signal that it unlock./locked.
It did have a third channel, but I had nothing left to use it for, sunroof was very involved and I could only make it do one window easily and it is hard to wire to make it do the window up and down so only one way is easy, I decided to leave it alone. No need for a trunk pop since the car has a deck spoiler and is heavy to pop and auto unlocks with the doors.
Chris
Good luck.
