I talked to a local installer not to long ago about this. You are going to need to leave the valet key in the car in order for the remote start to work. Because without a chipped key the fuel pump won't start.

You wouldn't I would think. The remote starter bypasses the factory chipped key ignition system, you would just need a key to turn to run to select a gear (auto only) and be able to unlock the steering wheel.

Yeah its possible, usually you have to sign an agreement of some kind. I don't see why there would be more labor.
You need to leave a key in it because there is a chip in the key that allows to car to start. At least thats how it is in the 08.

you don't need to leave the key in the car anymore, there is a module out there that does not need the key, its called the XK05 and all you do is program it with your key and thats it, no key left in the car or in a module.
Now a remote start can be done on a tC manual or auto, but you will need 3 extra relays on a manual and 2 extra relays on an auto. The extra relays are for the 2nd ignition wire and 2nd starter wire and the the 3rd for a manual only, is for the clutch bypass.
I would personally recommend a Compustar alarm/remote start system since they have a good rep. and also are legal to put on a manual transmission car.
If you have nay questions I can help, I installed mine myself.
