I'm installing a remote start in my 2005 EX, it's a manual. There are 2 pins activated by the clutch pedal arm. The lower one is a gray plug with 2 wires, black and gray. The upper one is a yellow plug with 2 wires, a black and a gray. The lower gray plug pin lets the car know when the clutch is pushed in a little bit, the upper yellow plug pin lets the car know when the clutch is fully depressed. I was prepared to do a relay setup, so I cut the gray wire in the gray plug, so the car thinks the clutch is pushed in a little bit all the time at the moment, but it seems the car won't start (with a key or the remote starter) unless the upper pin is activated also.
Now, Car Electronics 101 tells us that yellow plugs = airbag system, and they should be avoided at all costs. So I'm afraid of messing with that upper yellow plug. Is it part of the airbag system? How will I do this clutch bypass if i can't tough that plug?

The plug you touched effects cruise control....touch the clutch a little bit....cruise gets cancelled.
The other plug allows the car to start. The clutch must be in all the way to allow the car to start.
Cutting the wires will not help.
What remote start are you using?

Thanks for the info about the lower pin being CC, I'll butt that back together. But is that top pin involved with the airbag system?, it's a yellow plug is why I ask.

No, it is the clutch interlock plug, prevents the car from being started.

It's an Avital 4400, an alarm/remote start combo piece.

What is your plan to prevent the car from remote starting in gear?

Uh oh.... he we go! nagsr95, re-read the forum rules. You don't want to be asking for help bypassing a clutch for a unit NOT intended for a manual trans. Any post containing any information that may be considered a violation of law or lead to an unlawful act in the United States of America such as injuring or killing someone or aiding in theft may be deleted and your membership may be suspended without notice. This includes bypassing head unit lockout codes, video bypass procedures, automatic transmission remote start units in manual transmission vehicles, etc. -------------

Really sorry guys, didn't mean to break any rules. The starter is set up so that it won't start unless the e-brake is pulled. I've had a starter in my other car, a manual 1995 Integra, for 7 years and never had an incident. It's set up the same way in there. I park my car in neutral, it's a habit, I personally never leave it in gear. But I understand the rule, and it won't happen again, I won't ask any more question's on it.

Just be sure you always park in neutral then. Or you'll have your vehicle drive away like mine did (not realizing there is no function to tell the starter if you're in gear or not). It had a remote start in it when I BOUGHT IT (I did not install it). I have since disabled the remote starter feature until a proper safety device can be determined.
