Remote Start Alarm Installation In A Manual Help Needed, Neutral Sensor? Options

[TRD-ST204]

I have a 94 Celica GT and I want to install a remote start alarm. My car is a manual so I don't want it to jump forward if it is accidentally left in gear. I spoke to some people who installed alarms and the tell me that some manual cars have a neutral sensor that can be tapped into that is connected to the ECU. Seeing that my car is a 94 I don't think that we have anything like that in our cars. So I am I right or wrong? Thanks in advance.

installing a car starter on a stick shift car is just as wise as climbing over a lion fence in the zoo and having seen the lion look well fed draw an assumption that you are safe.

Most likely you WILL endanger other people. Police don't take lightly to that. Your consciousness should be a guide to tell you that you should not even try.

this is a moronic response...does ANYONE who made any accusations about remote start and manual tranny EVER HAD A REMOTE STARTER ON A CAR WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION

ITS CALLED RESERVATION MODE for all the morons out there...AUTOMATIC REMOTE STARTERS do not have this safety feature...and idiots like your friends who have almost killed themselves have installed these remote starters on their MANUAL TRANSMISSION vehicles

there are no neutral sesnors or any of that bull SH!T... what you must do before leaving your MANUAL TRANSMISSION car with a remote starter installed that accepts MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS (ensure you have engaged the manual transmission mode, this usually means cutting a jumper wire or flipping a switch)...anyway if i want to remote start, i have to leave my car in RESERVATION mode...to do this you bring your car to a stop on your driveway, you engage the ebrake, you then press on the brake pedal, you then remove keys from ignition and CAR CONTINUES TO RUN!!!! once you exit the vehicle, and the last door is closed, the car shuts off and is in RESERVATION MODE, as soon as you open a door, this procedure must be repeated if you wish to remote start (which makes the process annoying if you forgot your coat inside the car, then you have to set reservation mode again)

THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY WHEN YOU HAVE THE MANUAL REMOTE STARTER INSTALLED TO LEAVE THE CAR IN GEAR.

how do i know this...well what happens if you have your car in gear, and its running and you exit the vehicle...as soon as your foot leaves that clutch its jumping down the road...therefore you would NEVER be able to leave your car in gear AND IN RESERVATION MODE as reservation mode makes you exit your car which is running!!! and if it was manual and in gear you would know about it when leaving your car


your friends who remote started and almost killed themselves or other people, had a automatic transmission style remote starter installed on their car...that is why, because they did not have to enter RESERVATION mode


there is no neutral switch...and no this is not my job, but i install alarms on friends cars etc. if you have basic alarm wiring knowledge, some of you wouldnt have made the statements you did...which is fine, but dont badmouth something you have no funking idea about!!!!
