What alarm w/ remote start will work for 5SPD???

[Duce]

I have a prestige two way paging Alarm W/ Auto Start on my 5spd... i never leave my car in gear i thought that puts strain on the tranny... but it works fine havent had any problems just dont auto start your car if u werent driving last because 95% of manual drivers leave in gear

Btw Shops will do it but 1. they will have u sign a form or 2. they wont give you a Receipt proving they did the install... u lose out on the manufacturer warranty but with ignition kill i dont worry bout my car being completely gone... maybee some accessories but im good with a motor and trans

That may very well be true... but IMO, the only way you should do this, is by using micro or reed switches on the shifter in conjunction with a relay(s) that will not let the remote start unit energize the starter unless the shifter is in neutral.

That indeed is the best way to have one of these installed. And as far as installing them on a manual, the sketchier shops will do the things like not give you a receipt or make you sign something. A reputable shop will not do it.

Steve, you have any links to the remote starts made for a manual? I wasnt aware that they made them for sticks, not that I am looking for one.. just wanted to know.

Edit: if by *designed* you meant "customized to work with".. I guess they would do that aswell, but im guessing that remote start would get kinda pricey.

Cool, thanks.

But yeah, if you didnt buy an alarm, the best bet is anything by DEI. But, you must remember that a cheap wal-mart alarm can be more protective than a top of the line alarm. Its all about the install, and the installer... dont want a sketchy installer jacking your car with a 3rd remote he programmed. So search around, and get prices, then get prices of stuff online. Sometimes its easier to just pay extra and get the parts from the place where it will be installed since then they dont have the excuse of "it didnt come with that part."

Wal-mart alarms are 2 wire hook up alarms. Crappy stuff. Yeah, there is a chance of the installer programming a 3rd remote and jacking your ride but personally, I think the chances are pretty slim unless you had your alarm installed with $15,000 worth of stuff already in there where the installer had his eyes on. One thing I do is give the shop installing my alarm, my parent's address . That way, you will never find me!!! But Compustar is the way to go. They are up there wih the best and just because alot of people don't know who they are, doesn't mean they are junk ( I used to think the same way). Maybe even better that DEI (AKA viper, python, etc.). I know the remote range is way better. But Compustar make a remote start specifically for manual tranny's.
