Yeah, it's easy to say you'll just always put the car in neutral. I said that to myself, and look what happened.

I even had a 3-relay safety switch setup too, but when putting a panel back on I happened to put a screw through a wire, grounding out a wire and making the car think it was safe to start. I also accidentally left the car in gear, and when I remote started it the summer before last I came out to find the car not running and way closer to the wall than I ever park it. Turns out it hit my cement wall and bounced off, doing considerable cosmetic damage to the front bumper. frown.gif

So yeah, just be sure to be safe with your install. I got lucky and hit a wall. It could've been another parked car or a kid.

My relay setup was quite the good idea I think, I just had bad luck and should've ran wires better. Also, a reed switch or even a spring mounted correctly could work. Those are ways to get any remote start to work safely with your five-speed.
