hm.. do you have an autostart?
I'm completely newb to having an autostart in a manual car so bear with me here.. if the car is in gear and you get an autostart is there something that can detect that its in gear and not start it? (PS I rarely leave my car in gear... unless i'm on a hill or osmething)

Upside down on a mini cross, doused in gasoline and urine before i light it on fire.
So on a remote starter with a manual car, what you do is before you leave the vehicle, pull up the ebrake and take your feet off the pedals. you remove the key and the car will still be running (also has a turbo timer built in). When you exit the car and shut all the doors the remote starter will lock the doors and shut the car off. This basically tells the remote starter brain that the car was running when everyone exited the car so thus the car was not in gear. It sucks because if you have to open the door while the car is armed it will disarm the remote starter. I was/am considering removing the open door sensor on one of the rear doors so i can open the car without the remote starter disarming. But i am not sure if i would do that.

yea i rarely bother letting my car "cool" after driving. only if i've been driving fairly aggressively. and even if i have, usually i just back off the last couple miles of my trip. i figure flowing air cools the engine better than parked and idling.
