Default one touch, alarm system

Two questions:

Is it possible to put/make the sunroof on a pre 96 model "one touch" as apposed to holding it down the whole time to open it?

Second, is it also possible to put a 2000 Alarm system on a pre 2000? The one with the remote that has the red panic button on the back and makes the "beep" noise?

Thanks...

P.S.

Learned a lesson today- never critiscize a SC430 owners car, even at the tad bit smallest way- they freak like amother.

An aftermarket alarm system is much better. I would never pay for a factory alarm system to be installed afterwards. If you're going to be spending extra money for it, go for the good stuff. My alarm for instance has a multi-band, encrypted transmitter with alternating codes, ignition kill, immobilizer, dual-zone, thermal sensitivity, programmable sensitivity levels and alarms, trunk pin, valet switch, with four auxiliary inputs for auto-start, windows up, backup brain, etc. Very flexible system. And the remote looks like carbon fiber

there is a unit that you can install for the sun roof similar to the one that controls the window one touch down feature ...if I'm not mistaken you can use it to control two items i.e. two windows or a window and sunroof ...I'll look it up again and re-post

That sounds great. Please list a price and where I could get it.

I have the Clifford Bullet IV, which is auto-start capable; However, I'd say less than 10% of the certified car installers in CA know how to properly install an auto-start mechanism into a Lexus. There is also conflict with the factory immobilizer I hear. Unless you know a savage *** installer that knows every last nook and cranny on a Lexus, I wouldn't risk it. Hell I got my install labor 60% off, Clifford accessories 75% off, AND STILL I didn't even dare take it to my shop for auto-start.
