Can afford turbo system, can't afford to fix an ebrake cable.
Duh where do you think all my moneys went? :what: Priorities! :lol:

I believe that the remote start systems try a certain amount of times and then stop. That way if it is on an older car with a carb and won't start, the system won't just keep trying over and over. It might even be adjustable.
This. I've done it once before when I left my car in reverse, it went about 20 feet and stopped.


Douche. :lol:

it does have to do with how its hooked up, if its one that is MEANT to be on a manual and is hooked up properly you wont have to worry about it starting in gear because it has to see an exit sequence, if you hook one up that is meant for an automatic on a manual you are treading at your own risk
Technically, it WAS hooked up right... when my car was automatic. But if I had a clutch safety switch it wouldn't have happened either I would assume...

If this clutch safety switch you speak of is what I am thinking....then a remote starter wouldn't work with it anyway unless you rewired the switch to be automatically bypassed.

there is usually a wire that goes to the switch to close the circuit, but the main safety is a sequence it has to see on exit, mine goes, when you come to a stop before shutting it off you pull the e-brake, you can hear the system click, then turn the key off, the car will stay running, you open the door and when the remote "sees" the door close from the door trigger it will then shut the car off and lock the doors, that way you cant leave it in gear but if at any time you open a door it will cancel the "reservation mode" and you will have to do the whole exit process again, it can be a pain in the ass but its better than you car running into s**t...

this. lol.. still requires me to fix the ebrake though lol. Though I was originally thinking the actual switch by the clutch pedal.. which meaning Victor is right it wouldn't work anyways haha
