Remote Starter for Manual Transmission
Does anyone know of a Alarm System with a remote starter for manual transmissions?
I have been looking everywhere and I am unable to find an alarm that does this.
If anyone could help me with this I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Matt

They were illegal in the start because manual cars left in gear would run away when you remote start them. Im not sure if alarm companies changed their designs to bypass it yet. Some people have remote start rigged up to their cars. Just have to remember not to leave the car in gear and use the ebrake.

It is still illegal for a company to install a remote start on a manual. I have done it to a few and also to some of my own cars but DO NOT recommend it. I had someone rear end my car once and took it to the shop to have it fixed. I specifically noted to them to park it in neutral. The clean up guy didnt get that part. I wne to pick up the car and when I bent over to look at the repair work.............oooops my key pressed the button on the remote and it tried starting. Well in this process it was jumping across the parking lot til it ran through the heavy gauge chain they had around the lot and that crawled up my hood and "A" pillars ripping off the mirrors and shattering the windshield also chewing up the pillars. Ended up with a 3850.00 bill for that repair. It can be done with momentary switches and a custom built gear shift plate though, so that when it is in gear it presses that particular switch and wont let the remote start engage. That takes some work and money to do though. Just some suggestions from me and experience.

it is illegal and almost no one will sell or install it for you in a manual tranny. if you buy it on your own and install it yourself, than that's a different story. i got it on my auto and it's the best thing, especially during cold wintery mornings.:fawk:

But other than that, I'd go with a product made by DEI, same company that makes the Viper, Python line of alarms, etc. I've had them in all my cars over the years, and they are great.

Mine was a Viper and it was excellent excepte for when it was left in gear.
Another thing to consider: If it is left in gear and it starts and hits a car your insurance will not cover it. If you hit a person.......lets say in a mall or store parking lot.........BIG problems. But if you are not at all concerned with that liability then do what you feel you need to do. If you want a Viper remote start only go with the DEI-562T. If you want alarm w/ remote start the Viper 850XV is great or go with the new Viper Responder 791XV.........its pretty badass.
