So I am going to attempt to install a remote start on my 2008 corvette. I have the RS, the extra key fob, and my 1101t bypass will be here tommorrow.

my question, has anyone attempted to do this yet? Also, I hvae one of the new viper RS that is for Manual transmissions. You have to do a sequece before you leave the car. Is there a neutral indicator somewhere in the car? I could have sworn older chevy's have this in their column somwhere?

thanks

Jimmy

well, it looks like there is no NSS on this car.

So other than using the shut down sequence on my RS, what are my other options? on my old camaro with an aftermarket shifter with stops on it, i used the screw to simulate the ground. If shifter stick was in gear, it would show negative on my dmm. Unfortunately, this has a stock shifter on it, so no adjustment screw :(

So your saying if you leave it in gear and the starter turn over the car will take off? that doesnt seem right for an 08 corvette. there is no neutral safety switch at the transmission? no wire to show in gear or not at the BCM? posted_image there should be. you might wanna look a little closer dude.

I just checked my wiring diagrams, and it doesn't seem to have one. Anyone have access to mitchel?

GM manual trans. cars have never had a neutral safety switch on the column, just the clutch switch(which usually directly interrupted the starter wire).

Some of their older automatics had a mechanical safety which blocked the key from turning forward unless in P or N, which might be what you're thinking of. Automatics with an electrical NS switch always mounted the switch on the transmission itself.

As far as your Corvette - do you have to push the clutch in to start if the trans is in neutral?
