RE: remote car starter
This is what I got for Christmas and the total cost was $209 installed. The Mustang takes some type of an alarm bypass module and I haven't had it installed yet so I'm not so sure what it bypasses. I'll know more tomorrow. I've had one on my Nissan Maxima for 10 years and love it.

Ok, I called the place where my wife bought this device and they said the bypass unit is in fact a bypass for the chipped key not being in the ignition when the car is remote started. It's supposed to be installed next Wednesday.

I had one installed at the dealer yesterday. They put in the bypass with an uncut key that is "keyed" to your car. I had the dealer do it as it is now covered under my factory waranty. Paid close to 600 but it was worth it in my mind not to save a few buck only to have an electrical problem and have the dealer blame the autostart

RE: remote car starter
No, this can not be installed in a manual. It can be installed to work properly by removing the switch that determines when the clutch is pressed (allowing the car to start while the clutch is not pressed), but it is illegal and dangerous. The problem comes when you leave the car in first gear and accidentally start, the car will start and drive off un-manned. As for the install, if you are comfortable with a radio install this will not be a problem for you. I installed one in my previous car, that i purchased from best buy, and it only took me about an hour and a half. Just follow the directions carefully and make sure you check everything twice before you try starting it.
