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 just had a remote start/alarm put on my car galaxy 5000 i think it's a 2 way with a lcd pager. looks like the one on the link posted earlier. i love it!!!! my clutch is bypassed too, but you have to engage it and pull up the ebrake before you shut the car off then the engine will stay running until you get out and shut the driver's door, that's so there's no way possible you could have left the car in gear. had a freind do it for pretty cheap and unless you plan on doing a thorough job and soldering all joints and hiding all wires i think it's the best route.
