Re: Remote starter for 2002 FireHawk? I know the cyborg rf will work with manual tranny cars if that's what your firehawk is. Otherwise I'd go with a DEI remote start. You definitely want to get something with the rf pager remote. That way you can start your car from up to a mile away.

Re: Remote starter for 2002 FireHawk? Clifford makes a remote start that will work with a manual transmission. (or atleast they did before DEI bought them out and started f*ckin up theire products) I'd check into them before messin around with some generic company.

Re: Remote starter for 2002 FireHawk? Johnster read a lil more into the post. He wants a remote start to work with a manual transmission. DEI is scarred of such things and frowns on it cause of saftey issues. I'm not gonna diss DEI cause that's the main line I sell. But DEI has been jackin with the clifford line hard core since they bought them out messing up alot of good features.

Re: Remote starter for 2002 FireHawk? Hey Johnster, one more thing. I got tired of not being able to remember what a 732t is so I finally looked it up. It's a crapy hornet alarm without remote start and it sells on the net for about $150. I can understand trying to be helpful but you are telling people to buy the wrong piece on 2 differnt posts, and trying to ripp them a new one at the same time. Hopefully your just confussed and not just trying to misslead folks.

Re: Remote starter for 2002 FireHawk? Yes you are right you can rig someing to work. But why rig something when you can buy a piece made to do the job?

Re: Remote starter for 2002 FireHawk? Yes it is rigging using the DEI piece. DEI does not and will not support the remote start on a manual trans with that piece. They do not include any safeguards to make sure that the car is not in gear when you remote start it. Therefor you would have to rig some kinda safeguard to keep someone from running their vehicle into the side of a building when the piece tries 3 times to remote start the car. A piece made to work with a manual has a procedure you go through before getting out of the vehicle so it will know that the car is not in gear. Now I can only assume that when you say you don't have to rig something you are telling me you do nothing to make sure a customer doesn't hurt themselves or others when they use a remote start you have installed. This is opening you up to a huge liability lawsuit you might wanna rethink your installs in the future to protect both your pocket book and the customer's car......

Re: Remote starter for 2002 FireHawk? The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act protects again car manufacture's trying to void a warranty just because you installed an alarm. Check into it. I have a 2002 Transam and I installed an Advantguard 4 on it about 2 months after I got the car and that alarm has about any gimick you can think of on it including remote start. I can't wait for the dearlership to try and tell me some crap like they are gonna void my warranty over it. I've been dying to find me a get rich quick scam and I think that would be a good one.
Re: Remote starter for 2002 FireHawk? Hey man,we have put this 553t on a stick.You can use the hand brake. The car will not remote start unless the hand brake is on.You are right on the safey part.We tell them that it is not safe on a stick but they still want this alam on there so money talks.If the hand brake is not on the car will not try to start.

Re: Remote starter for 2002 FireHawk? I did that before years ago for a guy and somehow the dummy hit the side of a tire store 3 times the same night after numerous warnings about being careful. So I quit playing with manuals. But ya got me on the ebrake thing for now so I can't really come back on that one. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Buuuuut I can still technicaly call it riggin since the DEI piece isn't designed for a manuel. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Remote starter for 2002 FireHawk? Im still searching for for advice / experience with starters on m6's. I spoke with the service rep at my local pont dealer yesterday. The he didnt recommend any particular after market starter, he did advise against any at all. Said they cause alot problems with the computers, since they have to be installed to bypass certain safety mechanisms. He said there always getting cars if for electrical problems related to aftermarket starters. No he also said that of course they only hear about the bad ones. Who knows how many good ones there are without problems.
