Remote Start, ...on a manual tranny? Options

[draysniro]

So my question is...can I get a remote start to work with a manual transmission even though it won't start without pushing the clutch in. I guess I'm asking if there is a bypass for this problem...

if you're using such brands like Clifford (now by Directed Electronics) you'll need to get a module for it that allows it to work for manual cars.. i had a Clifford Matrix RSX and the problem was the technician who installed it couldn't find which wire he needed for the neutral safety switch wire to go to. i know there's some sort of neutral safety switch on the tranny which leads to the cruise control module but he couldn't figure it out.

so instead i went with the Compustar PRO series since most CompuStar models are already manual transmission compatible. basically as mentioned by hanyo, you need to set the e-brake on which tells the module the system is in 'neutral' when leaving the car and the car stays running when you pull the key out. as soon as all doors are shut, the engine shuts off and automatically sets the alarm and puts the starter module in 'ready' mode. but as soon as a door opens, it can't be pre-started unless you pre-set it again.
