Steven - What model Clifford do you have?  I am interested in adding something to my Cobra, but haven't had any luck finding it on Cliffords site.  Thanks.

I have an old school Clifford Ace 7500.  I bought it about 4 years ago when I worked at Circuit City.

that can work on some cars, it just depends on the layout of the console, etc...we have tried that on my old car (integra) and had no luck, I have also heard of trying that down at the linkage, etc....

but listen to my idea for a sec, I want your opinions....

1 switch mounted by the shifter

switched ground...

other side goes to....

2 relays, wired backwards of eachother, one normally open the other normally closed

relay one 1. interrupts neutral saftey wire when open

relay two interrups brake shutdown wire when closed.

so....switch disconected  or up.....NSW is conected, car can be remote started but brake shutdown is not active so you cant release the car......

switch connected....brake wire reconnects, allowing you to shut the rmote starter down, but the nsw is disconected so you cant remote start the car....

unless you flip the switch back the other way, which, if its by the sh*ter will undoubtedly be  a reminder to put the car in neutral....what do you think???

I have heard of that as well, but highly recomend against it.  I used to work for Sonitrol installing alarms, and sometimes we used to have to replace those switches after a while.  Their great for alarm triggers where if they fail, it just makes a lot of noise.  But for this if it fails, it is much more serious.  Just an FYI.
