alarm/remote start, man. trans recomendations?

in my opinion ...nothing is safe. everybody says " i never leave it in gear" but eventualy they do or someone will move the car and leave it in gear.

and as fo those remote starters that claim to have safty.......remote start the car get out and shut the door then shut off the remote starter...and as long as the doors arent opened the car will remote start again....well if the window is down or if its a convertable and someone reaches in and ....lets say grabs their purse and knocks it in to gear....then there it goes.

some one could break in knowing that factory alarms will not trip if the door isnt opened...and steal your hu and again there it goes.

my biggest worrie is that a kid will be in the area when this thing starts moving and you will end up behind  bars or in court with that on you consious and all for about 100$ profit and a life time of regret.

and try to pass the buck! ive had these disscusions with a few manufactures and none of them will stand behind you in this situation!

my shop and my livelyhood is too important to throw it all away for a few bucks.

my .02 cents.  sorry for the rant.      XS

repmud, i have the peice you are talking about. it has a cable that pulls out and attaches to the shifter..right?

well this unit incoporatse a spring which on mine..broke allowing it to start in gear . so i fixed that and later noticed that the plastic peice that ran back and fourth over the switch had worn ans now was allowing it to start again. so i flipped the plastick over and used the other side. a few months later it was worn again! now it sits on my bench as a reminder of how much time i put into trying this.

I'm sorry to hear that, I sounds like you had a bad experience.  I actually made something out of wood and steel.  It basically located and locked itself using the cup holder.  It had a hole just large enough to get the shifter through it.  It was aproximately 12" long by 4" wide and about 4 inches tall in the shifter region, otherwise it was 1/2' tall.  Once it was in place it was impossible to get the car in gear, and if by some reason the car did go in gear the device would have been knocked off the switches.  It was rather large and anoying but it kept the car from being started in gear.  The steel was used to add weight in order to depress the momentary switches.  The thing was ugly as he!! but it worked well.
