Hey whats up man! Autostart aka remote start. Starting your car with a pager alarm basically, I have a viper 7900 and i autostart it EVERYWHERE i go! lol its just convenient. It sucks in the morning though because when i autostart it and finally run out to open the garage it, it smells so freaking bad i know im killing brain smells smelling it haha.

They are pretty cheap. I found a 5900 with 1 mile range for 170 bucks http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...furbished.html
Thats almost identical to the one i have. installation is easy too but you have to find a a stereo shop thats willing to install the unit and bypass your clutch (for remote start because it is needed when you put it in a manual car) Let me tell u this though! Me and my buddies have tried remote starting it in gear, with the E Brake on, and the car didnt even start. Thennnn we tried it again with it in gear and E Brake left OFF (god forbid, but if you are dumb enough to make that mistake you deserve it lol) and the car still didnt want to run. So i say its pretty safe to have remote start on an evo. Im thinking because of the AWD it puts a strain on the motor trying to start while in gear. Good luck!

I always let mine run at least 5 minutes before taking off, especially this time of year. Otherwise I have a very stiff gas pedal and awkward shifting.
I didn't know that you could put one on a manual at all. you generally need a security bypass as well that will allow the car to start without the chipped key.
