My dad has a 03 CR-V. With a 5 sp. We have a remote start on his car and it works great. When they install the system there is a clutch bypass that is installed. The car has to remian in netural with the e-brake on in order for the remote start to function properly. I also will be putting one on my 95 accord when I do the engine and tranny swap. The shop that I go to here does them on standerds all the time and never have had a problem with them. Just make sure you get a good shop and good brand of starter/alarm systems and you should be fine.
