So my question is...can I get a remote start to work with a manual transmission even though it won't start without pushing the clutch in. I guess I'm asking if there is a bypass for this problem...

or you can spend more on a better one that's meant to work for manual cars which include a neutral safety switch so it won't start if it's in gear.. i'm currently using a CompuStar PRO P2W9000FMR and is perfect imo. it has unbelievable range ("12 mins of walking distance" range) and tons of features. -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

I would actually really like to know how that is wired in to know when its in gear. -------------------- |

I would actually really like to know how that is wired in to know when its in gear. It keeps the car runing after you take the key out and arm the car. If your car is still running when you leave, then it must be in neutrel; so the car alarm will allow itself to remote start. Its a pretty smart idea, probably will be my next car alarm. |
