Remote Start
Considered safe or unsafe for a manual transmission?? Anyone ever install one?

Herblenny has it on his car, you can PM him. You just have to make sure you don't leave the car in gear.

I have it on mine, and its fail proof. However, you have to get a model made for a clutch. As far as I know the one I have (Clifford) is the only one there is. When you park the car you have to put it in neutral and hit a series of 3 buttons. Then you take out the key and get out of the car. The car will stay running until you arm it, unnless (something I don't have yet cause my car is dead but is very cool) you have the turbo timer add-on kit. This makes the alarm armable and continue to run like a turbo timer. A regular turbo timer will cause problems. When you start your car you press a certain button and the car stays armed until you disarm it. Then get it and insert key and but foot and brake. Takes some getting use to but I do all this know without even thinking about it. I would recomend going this route because its the safest. Also you can add things like trunk pop windows up and down sunroof closing (which is very nice when you forget to close it and don't have to set foot outside). Hope this helps.

By the way another reason I recomend it, is because if your getting ready to go somewhere it makes warm up and shorter time until you can drive with WOT

I have the clifford G4 model, which is now the G5 model (Newer stuff like able to keep your defrost on even though the stock switch is suppose to cut it off, don't quite know how it works). Couple of things that I forgot to mention, get ready to fork out some $$$ and have whoever installs it tell you it is a pain to install. I would go and talk to a place that sells and installs clifford alarms they should be aboule to help you out the most.
Clifford.com Helps too |
i got a compustar that remote starts.
the only way it'll work is if you leave the car running before you shut it off (also has a built in turbo timer). if you unlock the door, etc etc.. it wont autostart. |
