Subject: manual trans remote starters

I have done many remote starts in the last five years. The one thing that I have never done is a starter in a manual trans car. Many times I have come to this site to get advice from the many people who take the time to answer questions on here. So when I to;d a customer that I would consider doing a starter in a 07 Camry, I figured I would come right here and ask all the great minds of this site this simple question...... What is a good brand of starter that offers manual trans capability and where can I get them? I mostly install Crimestopper because they are readily available to me here in northern Maine. They do not offer a manual trans model. Thanks for your time...

Just to throw my 2 cents in, those are all good brands but ultra start has started dumping refurb units in so if you decide to go that way make sure you get only current models. The refurbs are very cheap and they are junk, many people are getting burned on them. I have recently signed up with compustar as a result.... -------------

Im in central Maine as well and MRI direct handles the northeast distribution for Ultrastart and Compustar. Both offer manual units. https://mridirect.com/default.aspx------------- Steve G

ultra for sure. just like you buy anything referbished it is more likely to have problems down the road. that is what ebay is for selling refurbs...

Don't forget Autostart too. ------------- Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.

The UltraStart was both installer & customer friendly.

Actually thats wrong, they are selling through distributors at cheap prices. I like the 1270tl and I have installed a lot of them, but any company that will sell refurb junk to the general public is not going to last imo. Maybe the distributor turned them away in your area but out of 3 that can sell them up here 2 have the refurb units and they don't tell you they are refurbs just "old stock", I had to call ast to find out they were refurbs.

see that is ur distributor selling you out! my distributor wont do that, when he has close outs or what not he send me fliers or calls and tells me, plus none of my distributors deal with refurbs. that is not making Ultra Start a bad co they have been around for alot of yrs and have always sold a good product and stood behind it. the only problems with Ultra was about 2-3 yrs ago they had a batch of bad antennas but they admitted it and fixed it. the 2 ways are alittle slow but so are all the other co's 2ways...

don't forget viper/python/clifford...their units may not come out of the box manual ready, but the manual accessory is available. Autostart is really a canadian company based out of montreal....i dont know if they are big in the states? don't get me wrong i love their product and if it's available i would suggest it. autostart is VERY installer friendly.
