I'm looking for a remote start from a manual trans. I see that scytek makes one. It seems as though they are a pretty good unit for the price. I have also read about compustar. They seem like a good unit. I am going to install my self along with power door locks. Does compustar

I just installed a Compustar 2wss-as on my Nissan 350 because it is completely set-up for manual transmissions. I'm waiting for my key bypass which will be in this week. It works when I leave a key in it so far. You must exit the car while it's still running before it will allow it to be restarted. It's really weird turning off the key and getting out with the car still running. As soon as  the last door is closed, it shuts off the car. I'm very happy with the alarm and the range is truly insane. Nice remote display but it is a little bigger then some other alarms. Install instructions are not very good but with a car wiring diagram you should survive. Don't know about Scytek. Good Luck

The Compustar line has been a great seller for us this year with 100 % operating units ( 0 returns from customer's ). The only thing is that if you decide to install this yourself, Compustar doesn't warranty the unit due to uncertainty of the installer. Most companies will not warranty their products if DIY installer's install their product ( DEI, Xtant, Compustar, etc... ). All of the starter's that Compustar offers is both manual and automatic safe with an almost automatic READY MODE for the user. I suggest the 8000 FM or the 900FM series units for your vehicle if you decide to go with Compustar.

Could someone describe the process for remote starting with Compustar?  I know the process with an Ultrastart is pretty cumbersome.  And you have to remote start the car if you forgot something.  If you don't remote start it goes out of Reservation mode and you can't remote start.

If you want to know why. It's called LIABILITY.
Any manual unit will work the same way as your Ultrastart unit. If you forget something on the remote start sequence the remote starter will fail. If you want none of that nonsense, put an automatic unit in for your manual tranmission car. However, it will come at a very high price if someone gets hurt. I don't suggest anyone to used an automatic unit in a manual tranmission car just for their convenience unless you have a family that are in the legal service.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.remote start for manual trans, compustar -- posted image.

I think compustar must be about the best out there. I don't think I've read anything bad about them. I would buy one if I could get one at a reasonable price. More companies should have a manual mode in all their units. Is thier places one the net where I could buy one?
thanks for the info guys
