remote start + 5 spd. = illegal. I dont think its going to be easy trying to find a shop to do it. ---

I can do them, but remote start install on a manual tranny vehicle doesnt = cheap no matter where you go. ---

not 100% positive, since i havent seen the kit myself, but it’s 1 of 2 ways. Magnetic reed switch, when the cars in neutral, it enables a switch telling the system it’s safe to start. But when you move it out of neutral, and away from the other magnetic part, it no longer can start the car. 2nd way is some kind of special way you have to turn the car off. Like let it idle for a minute first with the clutch not pressed in, then when you turn it off and lock the door, the system knows (or at least thinks) it’s in neutral and allows it to start. ---

i have one in my audi. when you stop your car, pull the e-brake, leave in neutral and bam the car will stay running until you close all the doors then it will turn off. but if you go in your car opening a door you will have to reset it by turning the car back on and and ebrake and such. the whole system works off the ebrake switch ---

> [@MKE](#): > > Magnetic reed switch, when the cars in neutral, it enables a switch telling the system it’s safe to start. But when you move it out of neutral, and away from the other magnetic part, it no longer can start the car. if wired correctly, you could use a mercury switch (hood pin switch). when hookin up the nutural safety toggle switch insteading of grounding to like the frame but to the switch… it will not allow the car to start if angled slightly. I did this in my old gts to see if it worked well and it did…if on flat ground. didnt keep this set up tho… only to try it out. ---

Yea most shops dont install remote starters for manual trans cars due to leaving it in gear. A buddy of mine left his in gear and lets just say in the matter of 2 seconds it was in the middle of the blvd wrecked.
