I searched and no luck for the Vs
BUT if you happen to know of a thread a link would highly appreciated.

So I'd like to get remote start on my 05 V

But I'd like to have it added to my stock fobs, what does it take to do this? if it's even possible.

or do I have to use an aftermarket one? if so what is the best option for us Vs, I'm not interested in an alarm just remote and key less entry?

and what would be happening to my Fob1 settings with the car sync?

any info is appreciated thanks.

Remote start on a manual car? Not sure if you're trolling or serious. You'd have to bypass the clutch switch, then you couldn't leave it in gear, which I do more than use the parking brake (personal preference)... I could totally see leaving it in gear and hitting the remote start in the morning before work.... Car jumps through the wall like a pitcher of kool-aid and is like "oooooooohhhh yyyyeeeaaaaaa"

Hahahah.
I remember a thread where a guy with remote start was complaining that he took his car for an oil change and the service person left it in gear when he pulled it around front and the owner went to start it before he got in to leave and it jumped through their glass storefront.

Going to assume you both don't know this exists? It has safety features to safe guard against idiocy as most things do. It will not start with the car in gear, and it will not start with out the parking brake applied. I had automatic start on a standard cavalier a while back. Works great in the north during the winter, but in my opinion it is useless on every other occasion.

Edit: on that system I had to add a neutral safety switch to the base of the shifter so the system knew it was not in gear.

I know it exists. But I wouldn't throw an aftermarket system like that in there. Honestly is it that big if a deal to just go start the car up and let it idle while you go back inside and grab a cup o Joe??? I live in southern California. It never gets cold or hot enough to really be like "oh I gotta warm this bitch up". But when I go to central Oregon in the winter to ski or for the holidays, you bet I run out and crank on the truck to warm up the inside and unplug the block heater. The block heater doesn't keep the cabin warm.

I actually thought about putting one on as well, because I like to let my car warm up for at least 5-10 minutes before I drive it.

thanks guys.

NIK got it.

There are Manual vehicle remote start systems available.
In fact, it is against the law to install an automatic transmission remote start system in a manual for the very reason of risking injury or death not only yourself but anyone unlucky out there.

I know because I bought an auto remote start for my manual civic and no one would install it. i did i myself.

I NEVER leave my car in gear, BUT I have hopped in after a shop worked on it only to have it jump because they leave it in first. i hate that.

I'm just wondering what routes people have take as far as gettin these on the Vs.

I dont mind hoping out and starting my car if I part 3 feet from my door. but there are time when It's cold as F... and I parked Half a block away OR where i work I park distant from my office as well.

mild83 that's what I'm going for. I hope someone has an intergrated to OEM fob remote start. that would be nice. I hate aftermarke fobs on cars that have OEM fobs tied into setting and ish.

I'd imagine you would have to find out if our V1's could learn, or be programmed just to work with a newer vehicles fob that has remote start. That is where I would start. Could be as simple and as cheap to buy a new fob that has remote start already on it and try to program it to the V. If you can get the lock/unlock to work the next hurdle would be to find an auto start that can be programmed to factory key fobs (should exist). Buy that kit for a manual and voila!

yeah. looks like I'll have to do some digging. It would be some time from now. I just like to collect info before even considering something. I'll be back with a result if I jump at something. but those are good ideas as far OEM fob that came with Remote start.

thanks guys.

Lol I got in the habit of leaving it in gear with my last car. There was a known issue if the parking brake sticking and causing your rear rotors to disintegrate... Good ole Chevy. Haahah. Leaving it in gear isn't going to hurt anything.

Ah. I just don't like the feel of my tyranny feeling jammed with weight. I know its a tranny, but... say you leave it in 1st wont it roll with enough of a push?

Check out the avital on amazon. I installed one on my xj Cherokee and it worked like a charm. Many options and was around 60 bucks. Had all the features for manual cars that included clutch lockouts.

Also if you Google the dealer installed manual you can see how hard the install will be. Hth

ryridesmotox

I hear ya... But you do realize the kind of stress jamming through gears and wot pulls has on it right?

As far as rolling... I've only parked on a few hills where I actually had to use both for peace of mind. Think about it like this, your car has to overcome the compression and mechanical friction if valvetrain, pistons, all the accessories, pumps, all that ****... In order to roll. It takes a lot. Its merely personal preference. But I wouldn't trust either one alone in a steep enough hill.

I have a remote start in my V, Prestige I believe, and I love it. I'm using the aftermarket FOB's, couldn't wait to moth ball the stock ones soon enough. The range was 10' on a good day. Now I'm good for 1/4 mile. Three buttons: lock, unlock, and the remote start button that requires a double tap to start or a 5 sec hold to pop the trunk. I don't leave my car in gear and the parking brake works just fine. Honestly, not sure if our car has a neutral position switch, nor have I ever tried to start the car in gear. I'm the only one who drive's the car, so my driver 1 presets are always loaded on key in I believe.

did you install this yourself?

i bet this install could get messy...do the lights still come on when you unlock the car?

Fweasel

iTrader: (6)

Yep, which ones depends on ambient light conditions, horn chirps too. I added the install to an overall larger audio installing going on at the same shop. It was a $275 package deal. When I picked the car up, they said it was a ton of work and that I got a steal of a deal.
