One of my friends has one on his turbo hatch. About a month or two ago, he accidentally somehow pressed the button to start it, and his car rolled into the street, and got hit by another car, adn ended up in a small ditch. Don't be lazy, or think it's cool. It's just another stupid idea from someone. I don't reccomend it.

how the remote start works is sorta similiar to celica-gts's reply, except not that ghetto. all you gotta do is when the car is on, just take it out the ignition(the engine will still be running), get out of the car, and in 10 seconds it'll arm itself and turn off automatically. also you can add all kinds of options to the alarm system...........i'ma bouts to add on the motion sensor

Well looks like veryone already answered the question but yes you can install a remote starter on a man. tranny. Your installer will probably have you sign a waiver..(If they are smart) and if you have a really good installer they can hook up a sensor switch that will not allow the car to start if the car is in gear...but most installers will not take the time...Could be as simple as installing a pressure switch around 1st gear area (Or whatever gear you normally leave your car in)....

Remote starts are possible on manual trannies and are legal.
what they do is add an extra "valet" switch which you have to activate when you leave the car and if the switch senses the car in gear it will not activate the remote start feature of the alarm.
This is available on all remote start capable alarms (at least all the ones I have seen).
