this is a moronic response...does ANYONE who made any accusations about remote start and manual tranny EVER HAD A REMOTE STARTER ON A CAR WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION

ITS CALLED RESERVATION MODE for all the morons out there...AUTOMATIC REMOTE STARTERS do not have this safety feature...and idiots like your friends who have almost killed themselves have installed these remote starters on their MANUAL TRANSMISSION vehicles

there are no neutral sesnors or any of that bull SH!T... what you must do before leaving your MANUAL TRANSMISSION car with a remote starter installed that accepts MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS (ensure you have engaged the manual transmission mode, this usually means cutting a jumper wire or flipping a switch)...anyway if i want to remote start, i have to leave my car in RESERVATION mode...to do this you bring your car to a stop on your driveway, you engage the ebrake, you then press on the brake pedal, you then remove keys from ignition and CAR CONTINUES TO RUN!!!! once you exit the vehicle, and the last door is closed, the car shuts off and is in RESERVATION MODE, as soon as you open a door, this procedure must be repeated if you wish to remote start (which makes the process annoying if you forgot your coat inside the car, then you have to set reservation mode again)

THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY WHEN YOU HAVE THE MANUAL REMOTE STARTER INSTALLED TO LEAVE THE CAR IN GEAR.

how do i know this...well what happens if you have your car in gear, and its running and you exit the vehicle...as soon as your foot leaves that clutch its jumping down the road...therefore you would NEVER be able to leave your car in gear AND IN RESERVATION MODE as reservation mode makes you exit your car which is running!!! and if it was manual and in gear you would know about it when leaving your car


your friends who remote started and almost killed themselves or other people, had a automatic transmission style remote starter installed on their car...that is why, because they did not have to enter RESERVATION mode


there is no neutral switch...and no this is not my job, but i install alarms on friends cars etc. if you have basic alarm wiring knowledge, some of you wouldnt have made the statements you did...which is fine, but dont badmouth something you have no funking idea about!!!!

I said that already. People don't tend to read long posts

What schmooot said ^
Plus, not all remote starts have a "reservation mode." When i ran an install bay a few years ago, none of the remote starts we sold had this. DEI integrated this feature just a year or two ago and its not even available on all of their models.

I added a remote start to my car, installed a bypass to the clutch switch(had an aux power that could be used for that) and installed a switch on the side of my shifter stand, that is triggered when I am in 1st or 2nd. and use that as a remote starter defeat. Has come in handy, and yes I have seen my car go for some lurching b4 i made that switch. I can post pictures l8r if wanted, I have the whole center counsole exposed already for other problems.
