The clutch switch should have a violet colored wire that goes direct to the starter motor. Just attach the starter wire from the remote starter to that violet wire from the clutch switch.
When it's time for the CM6200 to remote start the car, it will engage the car starter directly thru that violet wire.

This is what the manual stats for this violet wire ------
Pin 19 Violet [POC 9] - Violet [POC 9] - Auxiliary 1 - 250mA negative (-) output. This is an optional output
that will provide a pulsed, latched, or timed negative output when triggered by the remote(s). This can
be used for power sliding doors, window modules or other outputs.
So your saying just correct this wire to the violet wire at the clutch?? Do I have to do any programing ??
Thank you

No, that's for a second starter.
CN1 YELLOW.

Read the installation manual, do a search here or online for your vehicle wiring before posting.

The clutch switch takes the starter wire from the ignition switch harness and cuts the connection when the clutch pedal isn't pressed in. At the clutch switch, there should be one wire that comes from the ignition switch harness and one that goes to the starter solenoid under the hood. When you press the clutch pedal in, it completes the circuit and allows the power to flow from the ignition switch to the starter. That is a high powered positive (+) wire. You cannot connect a low current (-) wire to the clutch switch wire as you can damage the remote starter. The violet wire I referred to is on the car at the clutch pedal switch.
As Howie stated above, you would use the Yellow wire on the CN1 harness of the Compustar, Yellow starter wire and connect it to the violet wire of the clutch switch, which goes to the starter directly.
As with everything else, use this info at your own risk and test everything first with a DMM.

Did you connect the tach wire and program the Compustar to learn the tach signal?
That car uses the Passlock anti-theft system. What bypass module are you using?
