Alarn/Remote Start

[NJ_STAMPEDE_LX]

I know this isnt the correct place to post this, But I dont have enough posts to post where I need to. I live in Clifton NJ and I have a Viper 5002 Alarm system with remote start. My car has a 5 spd tranny and a P13. should I attempt to read up on wiring?!?!? or should I pay someone to do it for me? ALSO it ould be very helpful if you could give me an estimate on about how much it SHOULD cost so I dont get raped. I really need help Thanks for any help you can provide me with

only very few audioshops do remote start on manuals. VERY few. usually some recomend you get the safety module.

I been installing for 5+ years and i have done them on manuals, its nothting much differnt but its not safe. i take no responsibility though. If your not used to wiring get it done at a reputable place. I seen people think they know how to do alarms, but when you look at their job its shit crap.

any audio shop that carries viper should atleast know how to do it, all the new vipers alarm in the programing menu can either do manual or auto remote start and that why the new viper remote starts have a plug in 'neutral' safety switch" that has to be plugged in before it will even remote start. Unlike the old vipers like the 791xv that you could just ground the neutral safety wire.

not all the new vipers have the remote start on manual feature, including the viper 5002. it was the one with the oem looking remote. honestly i dont like the viper 5002....too many issues, i have the same alarm but the python version that uses a differnt type of reciever and never had an issue. i seen at least 7/10 vipers come back to me.

and the old 791 had that black white wire that you ground, ur actually supposed to put it on the supplied switch, same thing as the new one. you just got confused with the newer style that is SAFE for remote start.

It is illegal for an alarm shop to install a remote start on a manual car and they will loose whatever installing license they have if get caught; besides is really unsafe and dangerous to have them; some installers just bypass the manuals and tell you to make sure leave car in neutral all the time even if park on a hill; lots of drivers forget that and start car which can move and kill people.

Not a good thing to do, get another alarm without remote starter or just do not install that feature.

Well i have a 5spd manual EX and i have the remote start...but ever since i started driving manual..i've always left it on Neutral..maybe i learned the wrong way..but when i installed the Remote Start..i didn't have to change my ways..=]..unsafe?..only if you leave it in gear(which i never do)...so it's all good..but i paid $120 i think for the instalation..and you might think you'll never use it or it's only show..but it does come to play in the morning when it's cold as hell and you don't wanna go out to turn your car and warm it up..i just do it from the comfort of my room..=]..so when im ready to leave the house..car's already warmed up....but yeah..around $120 here in LA..price depends on where you are i guess.

Thanks alot fellas

All of my friends with CB's have 5SPD trannys and they all have remote starters. I'm pretty damn sure its not Illegal, not in New Jersey anyway. From all of the reading Ive done today and all of the advice everyone has given me. If installation is under $200 I'll most likely get them to deal with it. If they mess anything up I can always bring it back to them where as if I messed it up,.....I'm Royally BONED lol

I didn't know you can buy a brand new manual car and the dealer can sell you a remote starter and you do not need to leave car on neutral to use the remote starter.

Very interesting, do you know which brands of new cars offer that option?

Do you have any website links where they sell alarms and are specific for manual cars and there is no need to leave car in neutral.

I have remote star alarms in all my cars for the last 20 years and when had a manual 3 shops refuse to do it telling me so many accidents for drivers forgetting to leave cars in neutral and were so afraid to get in trouble if doing it.

The viper website doesn't give any information of how it works on the manual.

The ebay ones and on what I understood is that they will only work if car is in neutral and if you leave it in gear won't work and if you use the remote start and engine is running and you or someone open the doors engine will shut down to avoid you from putting it in gear which I think it means that before you get in the car you will have to turn off engine.

Someone correct me if I am wrong and manual car can be leave on gear and still use the remote start.

No i dont have to but i do i just always remember to hit my toggle switch if i need to leave it in gear if im on a hill, so if in my pocket my keys and keypad gets hit and i remote start nothing happens
