Bypass clutch start

Im thinking of installing a "smart-start" feature on my car. Is there any way i can bypass the clutch to start the car. This is a very noob question and im still learning. Thanks for any advice/help.

If anyone lives around Los ANgeles/Glendale with a FC, let me know.

You should not be bypassing it, but rather installing the starter wire from the remote start onto the starter wire in the car after the clutch switch.

If you did decide to remove it,... just remove the sensor box. There should be a lead wire and one on the opposite end, when the clutch is pushed in the rod connects the circut. Just bridge the wires together and you'll be set.

If you want to be safe, you'll want to tie the remote starter into the neutral switch & the parking brake switch, as well as the clutch switch.

The car won't start unless the parking brake is applied and the transmission is in neutral.

And, if the car is running on the remote start, as soon as the clutch is pressed, it dies. This is more a security thing, but is a nice feature.
