You cannot use the lock/unlock option without first installing power door locks.

Just to clarify, Clifford and Viper are sold by the same company...Directed Electronics Inc (D.E.I.) and are basically the same units with the exception of the finish on the transmitters, the l.e.d. and other minor things. The wiring harnesss from unit to unit (current production models of course) are the same, as long as your are talking about a Viper and Clifford unit that offer the same features. Window control is available as an option for almost ANY alarm, it just requires a window control moduled and an output from the alarm to control it. You usually use the "ground when armed" output of an alarm to roll windows up and an "auxilliary" output to roll them down. Most units will control most of the factory door lock types on the market, however there are some that will require extra parts (relays) to control a "five-wire" or "reversing polarity" type of set-up which is what you would be dealing with if you install your own door lock actuators. I am a Clifford dealer and I have been installing alarms for a little over ten years. Oh yea, there are instructions with the DEI units, but you would need a list of the wire colors to tap into for your individual car. I can help anybody out with that if need be. PM me if you have any questions.

I was pretty much gonna say everything that ZC4ME wrote, but I want to add that if you have never installed an alarm before, it can be very daunting. I can also get anybody the specific wiring info for their car if they email me for it. Definitly spend the extra few bucks and take it to a place that is well known for good installs. If you are local to southeastern PA, I would be more then happy to install any alarm or keyless or remote start system for $20 and a 6 pack. Also, the Clifford RS3 is a very good choice.
