Ok,
I'm about to purchase an alarm/keyless entry and would like to use remote start as well. If i ever park on a hill I tend to leave the car in gear so it won't roll. If I park on flat ground I just leave it in neutral and pull up the ebrake. What I am wondering is if our car has a "neutral safety switch". I have heard some cars have this and it basicaly wont allow the remote start to work unless the car is in neutral. I know that if I dindt use this some of my friends would probly be playing with my keys one day and start it while its in gear. If we dont have a neutral saftey switch I wont even use this function. I would love to be able to get my heater going in the mornings though during the winter. Does anyone recomend a certian model of alarm/remote start for manual cars. Also does anyone have a diagram for our car of how to hook it up? including what wires I need to tap into for keyless entry and ignition. I have installed an alarm before but it didnt have remote start and I dindt use the keyless entry b/c i had manul door locks and didnt want to install actuators. Any help would be appreciated. |

I've got a Autopage RS650 alarm with remote start on my car, and it's got a custom safety switch that I have to push in every time I plan on remote starting my car, because the five speed versions of our cars don't have a neutral safety switch.
If you don't want to do that, you can buy a remote start system that's made for a five speed. I have a wiring diagram that's available here and will be of some help. However, your wiring colors in your car may be different, so always test your wires with a multimeter, and be sure not to test any wires with a test light or wires that are surrounded in yellow tape or tubing, as these are air bag wires. Also, on that diagram, a few of those connections are now hooked up to better locations. Let me know if you've got more questions. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
