I have several questions. Is there a remote starter system that will operate my security, memory system (seat adjust, mirror adjust, etc.), the same way my factory remotes do plus start my car. There are two factory remotes that are each unique in that they set everything to either the memory 1 or memory 2 settings. I am very tall and my wife very short, so this feature is something that I don't want to give up. I have called several installers in the area and have not found anyone that can make it all work from one remote. Also, is there any way to have the remote close my sunroof when I set the security system? I don't want to have to carry two remotes. Thanks Barry

Not sure where U R located, but a competent Install shop should be able to get most if not all things to work as U want, with a little planning & M O N E Y
Ask the shop U call for "Total Closure" on the Alarm

Not sure of hourly charges there.........
"Total Closure" is when U Lock vehicle, All doors Lock , Windows Roll Up, Sunroof Closes, Ignition / Starter is Interupted, etc.

That is the type I would be interested in. I can't figure out why the factory would not have the sunroof close when you set the security. I also don't understand why, as popular as remote starters are becoming they are not an option. Barry

Some Vehicle manufacturers do have those options.........But consider how long it takes Detroit to offer a lot of things. 60,s Stereo & Vibrasonic, Sunroof, 70's was 8 track Quad, 80's Cassette, Keyless Entry,etc., 90's CD, Alarm, etc., 2000's, Remote Start, Satellite, Alarm, etc.
Consumer nightmare

I guess your right, but if they installed a remote starter at the factory they probably wouldn't have $50.00 per vehicle in it and would charge $300.00 plus for the option. I contacted my dealer about one and they wanted $455.00 to put one in that I would still have to carry an additional remote. He said it was a very small one though. I told him I figured someone could probably do it so I would only have to carry one. Barry

You can install Alarm / Remote Start using your Factory remote, but the Factory Remote would have far less range than the Aftermarket, and the Aftermarket could utilize the options U R seeking

How much less rage do you think it would be? We mostly use the one in the other car for starting in the morning at home and if I bring it to work I use it at quitting time. At the house or here 100 - 150 ft would probably be plenty. How would I be able to use the factory remote? Would there be some way to use the panic button? I don't care about it anyway. Barry

The JDL-PK saves for one setting and does all what you want: Lock/Unlock, Driver priority unlock, Trunk, OEM security arm/disarm, Panic, Driver 1 memory setting & Transponder bypass: RF override through induction using loop antenna (Transponder included no key required) The other options you can get an installer to do. Just have to find the one that will want to do it. ------------- Jeff

So with a JDL-PK my factory 3 button (lock - unlock - panic) remotes would still work exactly the same. My remote would activate Memory settings for #1 and my wifes remote would activate Memory settings #2. What would I push to activate the remote starter? Or am I missig something? Barry

That is for use with Aftermarket RS / Alarm. Remote Distance varies with Manufacturer. Some with RS have 1/2 mile range, some have LCD that show U if the vehicle is running. Try : www.gps2000online.com if U want the unusual

The JDL is for use with aftermarket alarm or keyless entry. The JDL-PK is use with remote starter.I'm nost sure if there is a add-on system out on the market that can replicate two different user function from two separate remote FOB's aside from the OEM system. The JDL can only accommodate one setting as far as I know. Here is some more information on the JDL: Data interface kit provides complete integration to the factory doorlocks and security system with any aftermarket remote starter and/or alarm system. Factory personalization features such as: Drivers Seat, Mirror, and Radio station preset memory are maintained with the installation of this kit with any remote aftermarket system. *(Driver #1 only) Doorlock interface kit will: Disarm/rearm Grand Cherokee factory security system as well as unlock and lock doors. Factory priority unlock feature: Drivers door unlock (First press) and passenger door unlock (Second press) is maintained ------------- Jeff

Thanks for all the information. It sounds to me like the JDL is as close as I am going to come to what I want. How do I find an installer in my area that can competently install it? Thanks for all the help! Barry

Two more things. Does the LCD system need the data interface and is this remote system something I can install myself? I installed one several years ago in my 1995 Grand Cherokee. Thanks Again Barry

U definitely should use the DATABuss Interface, if not for install time and money, but it is far better than cutting wires or taking the doors apart.
Installing yourself is up to U, but if U consider the headache of newer technology, my money is on the knowledgeable installer Since U R on the Internet, RESEARCH< RESEARCH<RESEARCH, then check locally to for installers. Check with your Jeep Dealer Sales Manager & see if they use someone locally ------------- MO

Look in the installer database for an installer near you. The JDL can be purchased through us or bypasskit.com. ------------- Jeff

If your installing an alarm or remote starter, it is beneficial that you use the JDL or JDL-PK for easier integration of the keyless and remote start functions from the aftermarket system into the OEM system. This vehicle is easy to work on as long as you follow all the instructions given to you. ------------- Jeff

I have a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee and my infrared Keyless remote is failing. I'd like to purchase a replacement keyless entry remote. I read in the post above about a "JDL". Where can I buy this? I also read about the databus interface. I've found some of these on the web but they are all for 1999 and newer. Is there a databus interface available for a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee? I'm looking for the easiest solution? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks, Steve Smith If the replacement is not infrared, I'll have to replace the receiver. I'd like to make the installation as simple as possible. Do you have a data bus interface for a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee? I did not see that year offered on your website.
If I can't get the data bus interface, I guess I could hook the keyless receiver so it will switch the same wires the Infrared receiver switches now. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve Smith DATABuss Interface
