1996 GMC Suburban SLT (highest option package)...19 years ago...
OEM key fob could wirelessly open just the drivers door lock or all four door
locks, or just the rear tailgate hatch.
After market alarm fob had, IIRC, sockets for six relays. $60 bucks
for each relay...plus labor
Options were to open each door individually, rear hatch, open each door window
individually, start it remotely...or one button to open all four door locks, or
one button to power all windows (either up or down) or open/close each window
independently
At $60 x six = $360 bucks just for those relays and the $$$$$$ labor to wire
them in (more, as I spec'd ring lugs...so they had to remove each terminal screw
and replace each)
Just told the installer to unlock all four door locks and paid for one relay
There was another optional module to have a proximity sensor to set off the
first level alarm, up to full alarm...with another optional module for the 'voice'
warning to "stay back"...
Remember, this was over 18 years ago and the most "Whizzy Bang" stuff available
at that time...that is now OEM stuff
My point is lost...as most here do NOT keep their vehicles long enough to
wear out with this type of usage.
