Default Car Alarm/Remote start taplock feature?

Hey I am looking at getting a Remote Start/Car Alarm system. I was researching a bit and found that some of these systems have a feature where you can tap a code into the windshield and make it do things like unlock or even start.

Does anyone have a system that is capable of this. The only one I have seen is a viper 2 way unit. Would really like to know how well it works as that That would fix one of the things I miss the most about my old car, The ability to leave the keys in the car.

If you have a system like this could you tell me make and model of it so I can look into it?

Ive got a Clifford 50.7x which is the exact same as the Viper 5901 and i can tell you that mine doesnt have it so if you can get it, it has to be an add-on. LMK what you find because I may be interested also.

After a lot more research I found this, http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=87339

It also has a proximity sensor that will autmatically unlock and disarm as you come within range to your truck. I am gonna find and buy me one of these and ill let ya know how it works out.

I dont care for RFID and proxy sensors personally. I dont want to get "close" to my ride and it unlock. To me, thats a security risk.

ya if you go out to get the mail and have your keys with you then it could unlock ur doors, what a pain. if you park close to your house and when walking around in there it could do it and u wouldn't know. i just got a remote start installed on my jeep and i like it so far. but i would never get a proxy sensor.

Im not really to concerned about the security issue around here. However I think you guys are right. I think Ill nix the proximity stuff. But I am really happy to get the tap unlock feature, As I am often outside working and for whatever reason don't have my keys. This will let me not have to go in a search for them all the time.
