yeah, a friend of bypassed the neutral saftey on his civic 5-speed. One morning he hit the remote start, he forgot he left it in gear, and the car drove into a oak tree. Just think about it if your an M6

Yeah, I wouldn't get a remote starter if you have a manual. In the Detroit, MI area a basic install to bypass the theft system is about $160. A upgraded remote start with unlock/lock and trunk open cost me $270 last year for my Chevy Colorado.
