Remote Start..
I understand the concept that on most Manual cars you push in the clutch to start it.. But how would a remote start operate to start the car since your not there to push in the clutch?

I'm not positive, but depending on the car, the clutch pedal acts as a bridge for an electrical current. So all you would have to do is use a wire or something to connect the contacts. But again, I'm not positive.

In some states it illegal for a shop to instal a remote start in a manual car.

i have a remote start on me evo aand i have to say i love it... if you look behind your clutch theres a button and when the clutch is pressed in the button is pushed so the car nos that someone is pushing it in and to allow the motor to start... but when u get a remote start they just unplug that sensor and bypass it so it always thinks its pressed, so no more pushing the clutch to start it... butttttt that also means you have to make sure you don leave your car in gear... it does have a safety feature though, the E-brae has to be up for it to work

Compustar alarm/autostart system. Had it for a couple of years now and the autostart is great during winters. One of the few systems that is compatible with manual cars. The autostart will not work unless you set it up by putting it in neutral and pulling the e-brake. Kind of a safety feature.
You can read about their systems on their site.

Yep, any reputable shop in VA won't do it..... not sure if it's an actual law here or not though. I'd consider it though just so I can point it out the window and allow the car to warm up before I head home from work instead of sitting in the car for a minute or two!

The only reason I could ever see you needing to keep the car parked in gear is when your parked on a steep incline. So if your parked on a level, or even a slightly inclined/declined surface the e-brake is more than enough to hold the car in place..

It is illegal in alot of places because of the danger involved. I got to watch my brother's focus crash into the side of a bestbuy because he was having it worked on, and when they parked it they put it in gear. He assumed it was left in neutral and tried to remote start it. Needless to say its just one more thing to worry about. If you are goint to do it make sure to install the remote start kill switch and turn off the remote start if its gonna sit for a while or if someone else is going to be using it.

If you were using a TT on your car, wouldn't it mean that you'd always leave your car in neutral before getting out?
So your car would always be ready for a remote start provided you used a TT to turn it off?

clifford makes a remote start that works with turbo timers...basically there's a sequence of events that enable you to lock your door with your engine still running so the remote start knows that the transmission is in neutral. if the alarm goes off, then the remote start deactivates as an added security feature.

ok first off, a remote start in a manual tranny is NOT ILLEGAL. I installed them for a living for over 10 years, secondly, if it is a truelly manual safe system (such as a compustar) it is 10000% impossible to activate the remote starter with it in gear. I will agree that UNEDUCATED insurance companies will give you **** for having one in a standard tranny, but they are absolutely legal.. There is no legal issue whatsoever. As for safety if an uneducated installer or consumer gets it in their hands, thats another story
