Yes, they make them for any car, even if you have a manual.

They're usually generic for any car but make sure you tell the shop that you drive a manual cause there's a special module to disengage the clutch before turning the car over.

IIRC you'll have to park in neutral with the handbrake on. I don't think you can leave your car in gear and park it with a remote starter.

I would assume this too lol. I've thought about a remote start but I've heard they are a huge pain too install, and I hate paying other people to do work for me haha.

No, you just need to fool the car into thinking the clutch is depressed. It should be done by, as you mentioned, making sure the shifter's in neutral AND the parking brake is on.
