Maybe I mis-read OP's first post.

This is what was punched in which cause the windows to roll down. I hope this is clear enough for you to understand.

2-Way Security System / Remote Start System with Color OLED Responder Technology

This Color OLED Responder System from Viper is the most sophisticated 2-way Color Security and Remote Start system in the world! The interactive display on your Color Responder remote confirms all commands – virtually instantly – with easy to understand icons and animations. It alerts users to security system triggers by beeping or vibrating when out of audible range of the siren. And of course this system will also start your vehicle with the push of a button, and you will get confirmation back that it started from up to one-quarter mile away. Please refer to the technology section for more information about color OLED technology.
