Remote Start for Manual Trans

Anyone done this? Got any horror stories or tips? I'm assuming that it's electrically possible, but that it takes some care on the part of the vehicle owner. :) Obviously you don't want to have the car in gear and push that little button, but is there anything worse that could happen? (Worst case I can think of is a car in gear with no parking brake applied.) Seems like RS with a garaged car carries just as much risk.

I haven't seen any alarms that support manual tranmissions. I'm looking at the Viper 791XV. It specifically states that it's only for fuel-injected automatic-tranmission vehicles. Sounds more like lawsuit prevention than a technical limitation.

if youre lookin at 791xv, take a look at the compustar while youre at it. theyre design to be use in MT cars. there are couple units outhere too but thats teh one that cross my mind right now.Houston,TX

Hmm, quote doesn't seem to work. radiantx, that's exactly the sort of information I was looking for. Be sure and let us know how your install goes!

hey what you want to do is remove the lockout on your clutch like what i had done to my car...mainly because stepping on the clutch and starting the car wears out my faulty crankshaft bearing...got to love eclipse turbos =( ...as long as you leave your car in neutral when you park you'll be fine

I'm not personally in the habit of leaving this car in gear so my only fear is some valet doing it and trying to use the RS.

3 Car alarms that safely remote start manuals. Compustar #1, Autopage 850 #2, and AST Ultrastarter (Canada) #3 in order of use. You have to be an Autopage installer to get ahold of tech. They will help you. By the way checkout the CompuStar remote. THE CLAW!
