Okay so I have been reading some of these post about remote starts for manual trasnmittions. I know the safety issuesBUT I have also read on this forum that there are some that are "safe". So let me see if I understand this correctly: For the auto start to work the car MUST be in neutral and e-brake MUST be inor it is not going to work, right? Are these full proof? I just want to make sure that the car will not rollaway. I think if the car MUST be in neutral and e-brake MUST be in then it seems like it is safe. If this is the case what do you all have that are "safe and full proof"?

i dont know if the stang works the same but with my old passat if i left it in gear bye bye car, it would idle in first until it hit something which made it slow down causing the engine to die

guao

buddy don't do it, my son has the viper allarm w/ remote start even when I told him it could be aproblem the installer hotwire the clutch so it would start without depressing the clutch,but have you heardabout MURPHYS LAW ( what can go wrong wil go wrong )

he installe new rims and the guy left the car in gear he started the darn thing and the car took off and hit a pole the rest is history

on automatics is another story cause the car will be in park and there should not be a problem ( Think about it)

Yup, I have the best alarm money can buy. And opted out of the Remote Start. To many stories about leaving it in gear. Even people that have had theirs for a couple years have made that one little mistake and "BAM!!!"

The only safety for a manual is the clutch being depressed. Once they bypasss that for the remote start, I think you're on your own.
