Hey I was talking to a friend of mine and he mentioned that they have remote start for 5spds now. I already knew this but I was wondering if anyone knew who makes them. Are they any good? Disadvantages? Thanks in advance for all of the help.

 

I have the viper 550 esp on my 5 speed. Try to stick with DEI products. www.directed.com I really like it, its cool to show off and to warm up my car in the cold mornings. Only disadvantage is that you HAVE to make sure that your car is NOT in gear. Or else, its just gonna roll foward by itself.

 

i believe ANY remote starter can start a five speed. people jsut gotta know how to install them and usually they make you sign a release form.

 

Any remote start can be added onto a 5 speed. Trust me. I installed my own...I work at Best Buy's installation bay and am MECP certified. There's two wires above the clutch pedal that must be tied together. After that, you no longer have to push in the clutch to start the car. Pretty cool.....

 

Lots of shops don't like to do this though as its not a 'good' practice to do. But you can absolutly remote start a 5spd as long as you bypass the clutch like CLTECH said.

 

i asked a local shop about it, he said no way would they ever think of installing one...too much liability.

 

Yeah because some people are simple minded and leave it in gear and wonder why their cars roll away. Too bad a few fucked up people messed it up for everyone

 

go to him and tell him you will sign a liability waiver form and taht you will take complete resposibility if not there are ALWAYS people who will do this after all its not a free thing, your paying for it

 

The hard part is gonna be to get some one to install it because it is a 5sp. Dei clifford/viper/rattler has IMO the best alarms. Anyway make sure you dont leave it in gear and try to start it.

 

my buddy put his rsx almost threw his garage door banged up the front end real good .... its surprising how much the car lurches forward with no gas pressure

that wouyld kind of suck to think you are starting you car, and then go outside and see it inside your garage...when you were parked outside

 

its just like dropping your car at 2.5krpm

 

wow i thought if you started it with it in gear it would just stall right away.
