Default Neutral Safety Switch

Can anyone inform on the best method of installing a neutral safety switch on my manual tC so that I can have that extra peace of mind with my remote start installation?

Any help is definitely appreciated. Thanks!

well there is none lol. Trust me I have contacted people with all the information. Buy a remote starter thats made for manual transmissions and the neutral safety switch then gets tied to the emergency brake.

i have heard of somebody putting pin switches on each of the gears so it would not start if it was in gear. i would imagine it was a lot of work and trial & error but i guess its worth it for peace of mind.

well when you buy a remote starter for a manual, you press a button and get out of the car. The car remains running until you get out of the car and lock the doors. If the emergency brake is not up or your door has been opened or if the car alarm went off the car will not start.
