Remote Start with a Stick Shift
I spoke to the folks at directed electronics (Viper car alarms) they said that there is a module that they can install to do a manual transmission remote start, they don't recommend it but they do have one. just give them a call and ask them which one.
They don't recommend it because people leave their cars in gear when they park. Theres no more risk in putting one on a manual than on an automatic. Other than leaving it in gear, and your E-Brake failing out.
If its a directed electronics part its got to be a safer unit then just tying into the p brake. My guess it works more like the clifford. The reason they dont recommend it is because if your alarm is triggered the remote start defaults to no start mode. Again this is all speculation. If someone can find me a little info on the DEI part ill help you with more definate answers.
I have a local installer that suggested I add remote start to my '06 GT Vert (5spd manual), to which I immediately replied... it's a manual.
He told me they have a unit made for manuals. When you shut off the engine it watches for whether you're in neutral or not, and only allows remote start if you shut down properly. For more info, call Infinity Motorsports, Glen Burnie, MD - (410) 590-4225

clifford makes something similar as well. When you park the car, you take the car out of gear and activate the remote start and pull the keys out. The remote start keeps the car running until you get out and arm the alarm. As long as you don't open the door before disarming the alarm, it will allow the car to start since it knows it is still not in gear.
I don't know if its the same with the new mustangs, just got mine today, but I a remote start in my last car (an '00 celica stick) and the only thing you have to do is:
1) look behind the clutch pedal, there should be a momentary switch that is depressed when the clutch is pushed down
2) there is a wire harness coming out of that switch, take the harness off of the switch.
3) the harness should have two wires, attach them together and the car will start without having to push the clutch.

Ok, i have found the info on the different clutch types, but I do not know the clutch type on the 05/06. I have talked to an installer at another local shop and he said that there is indeed a wire at the ecm that registers when the car is in neutral. (So no accidental starts when in gear) Now if i could only find someone that works at a ford dealership to find a diagram or someting showing which wire this is. My friend said that would be the tricky part, but he has given me a name of a guy at a local ford dealer to see if he can help, but said it is a long shot. Any help?

I know this has nothing to do with auidio/video, but I was wondering if anyone knows how to bypass the clutch in a 2006.
I looked everywhere and cannot find a wire diagram. We normally have them at work. Unfortunately I do not know how
or what to test for. Anyway, i got the alarm installed, but haven't gotten the remote start to work. Any help from you tekkies
would be greatly appreciated...

That way it will not start unless it is in Neutal
You wont need to bypass the clutch, a relay will do everything you need!
