of course i want remote start... i have a manual trans, does that matter when it comes to remote start? any suggestions for alarms?

 

Anything made by Directed Electronics......Viper, Python, Clifford, etc. They also make a part for manual transmission remote start.....P/N 689M

 

remote start is only for automatics. as you can get into trouble with the manuals is you leave them in gear.

i have had two cliffords and one viper in the past. non of them have failed me ever. the first clifford was installed wrong. but that was installer error

 

The P/N 689M that I referred to is made specifically for manual transmissions. It requires a multi-step shutdown process to ensure the vehicle starts safely afterwards. I have it in my Ford Ranger and it works great. You first need to engage the parking brake while a valid tachometer signal is being sent to the unit, then press remote start button while the car is running. Then open the door and close it.....the remote start shuts down at that point and is safe to re-start until a door is opened again.

 

wow..... that a lot to remember for a remote start... lol i guess i can do without it.....

 

Midgethearsexb here on scionlife has remote start on his xb. PM him and ask him about it. Our buddy, Eric did the install. I'm not sure if he's on SL, though...

 

It's easy once you get the hang of it......

 

i'm probably going to get the alarm this weekend i'll see what the installer tells me...

 

I had a remote start on a manual subaru and sometimes for kicks i would start it in gear and watch it ride around the parking lot.

I'm kidding, but thats what would happen ;)
