I know this might be a really dumb question but Im getting a Viper alarm system installed this week adn was debating getting either the base alarm or getting a pager system. I like the pager b/c I can keep people from stealing the crap out of my car but the major option of the pager system is the remote start. I have a 97 Civic DX manual and the manufacturer said that the remote start was only intended for automatic cars. Does this mean that it's impossible to get this feature with a Manual transmission or just not recommended?

 

its not recommended and no reputable place would do it becuz once u park ur car and leave it in 1st or R, the car will go once u remote start. However, it is possible to do it on manual, u just have to find someone that's willing to do it.

 

Would it be worth it, in anyone's opinion, to get the paging system anyways even though I couldnt really use the remote start function?

Ya. Ive been on that site 10 times in the last two days and never even noticed that. Thanks.

 

you can install remote start on a manual. i have a prelude 5spd and have the viper 771xv with remote start and it works fine. unless you konw how to do it good luck finding someone to do it.

 

my 5spd integra has a remote start installed.. although it stopped working recently
have this small company's system called lynx with a safety feature for manual cars.. just make sure you leave it in neutral when you park! i really liked the feature - was great for warming up the car from the house.. or if i knew it would be hot out, I would leave the a/c on and when it remote started, it would start cooling the inside down.. i've heard its not good to start the car with any electronics running but I do it anyways..

 

yea sometimes you need a new remote start module. i heard they wear out after i while.
