Remote starter on 2004 TL 6 Speed

I recently bought my TL, the E-Brake doesnt catch very well and therefore I always leave my car in gear.
Im required to push the clutch in order to start the car, how would I be able to get a remote starter ?
I live in Minnesota, enough said... haha but really, you cant live here without having one in your car.
I would appreciate any feedback and thanks in advance !

the easiest way to adjust the parking brake would be to take off the rear wheels. and use the star spindle to tighten the pad.
do this on each side.

if you adjusted the star spindles all the way and its still not catching, then you would have to open up the middle cubby arm rest thingy and tighten up the cable coming off the parking brake handle.



next, when you have a shop install the remote start they will wire it up so that it can operate without pushing in the clutch

There are remote starters made specifically for manual cars, look at Compustar.


Last thing you would want to do is start the car and have forgotten to pull the ebrake.

I think even Viper would be fine, as long as you're in neutral and have your brake on. The wiring is a bit different though, I believe...

I just disabled my clutch altogether lol, I don't need it to start my car anymore. They already covered how to adjust your ebrake.
