Anyone have a remote start w/5spd?
I know there are a few companies that make remote starters for manual transmissions. Has anyone had experience installing, or had one installed? Would you recommend your brand? I'm just looking for a remote starter, I don't need any of the other fancy options that most offer. The other question is safety? Do they only start/crank when in neutral? or will it try to "jump" like if you left the older (60's & 70's andmaybe some 80's) cars in gear and tried to start without the clutch in. (most older folks will know what I'm talking about...lol) Any input is greatly appreciated.......Regards

I wouldn't suggest putting one on a stick. You can bypass the clutch switch to make it think the clutch is pushed in, and you can make it start, but your going to look like an, no offence and sorry to say it, an idiot, if you forget that you put the car in gear and try to start it. Not to metion the damage you can do to not only your car, but something else that might be in the way if it happened.
Just my two cents...

It's just dangerous period, no matter what any website says. Even if they designed something that disengaged the clutch, you would still have to worry if you put the e-brake on. I am not going to question why you feel you need or want for one, it's your call and your money, but I have had manual cars for a most of my life and lived in some very cold places, North Pole, AK, and some very hot places, Prescott, AZ, and never felt that I could not walk out to my car, start it, and go back in the house.

I have one on my 2003 6 speed tiburon. You have to set the parkbrake and then hit the actovation botton on the key fob with your foot off the clutch.
I works very good. I had it installed at the dealer. I too am looking for a alarm/starter combo. they are out there.
As far as installing them. If your good at wiring and reading instructions you can install them. I have before on my Camaros. You do need the bypass code for the car. lets the alarm or starter override the factory security system and links it to the ECM.
Hope this helps

What about if you leave it in gear?

Well it looks like BlackHHR has one that is working in another car of his just fine, so you might want to discuss this further with him as I am by no means an expert on this particular situation.
As for this day and age, technology is far from anything proof. I fix errors in portfolios on mainframes all day long that handle the 100 billion or so dollars of investments my employer works with. Not to mention that my HHR has been in the dealers service dept three times in the two months I have owned the car. Not everyone has issues with technology, but for those of us who work with it all day long, I see the errors all the time. Nothing is "idiot proof" as some may claim.
Best of luck with your project
