remote start what would it take to put remote start in an M6, like to have someone install it what would i be looking at price wise, just for a decent setup
and if you dont mind what is involved in putting it in an M6 over an A4, the A4 makes sense, but how to you "press" the clutch in to make it start remotely in an M6. I realize u leave it in neutral and dont actually press the clutch in. but i dont know what is involved.

Seen a few ghost Manuals in My career Simple we just disable the starter interrupt (close the circuit) from the clutch switch ... now with that said I have seen a Porsche 911 a NSX and the best was a Chevy Diesel drive across the parking lot hit parked cars roll back and die .... then (cuz remote starts do this) Start up and hit the cars again ....
I would make em sign lots of paper work my lawyer had drawn up.
We played with micro switches and proximity detectors for making sure the car was in N but all attempts there failed...
My Real advice ... pass on the remote start! for M6

This has been debated many times on this site. The bottom line is that if you always make sure you fully engage the parking brake and it's properly adjusted your car will not move if you accidentally try to start it in gear. Many people don't use their parking brake and most don't have them properly adjusted so that's where these stories of cars chasing little old ladies across a parking lot come from.
You can easily prove it to yourself. Start your car with the parking brake engaged and then let out the clutch without giving it any gas - the car will stall (if it doesn't then get the brake adjusted). Now, if the running engine can't overcome the parking brake then the starter motor sure won't be able to.

i put it in first or reverse, depending on how i plan on leaving, as well as using the parking brake, everytime i park, i would have to just leave it in neutral, that wouldnt be that hard to do

Why would anyone else be using your remote start? You have to push and hold the key fob button for several seconds to make the remote start work so it's unlikely to happen by accident.

I have had remote starters in four of my last five cars (all manual trans). There have been several times where I forgot to put the car in neutral and then tried to remote start. With the parking brake always on (I never park without it - even in an automatic) the car would rock a little but never move an inch.
Wow in Jacksonville ... I was expecting a hilly part of the country as you see like your town it is REALLY flat here so folks do not put the ebrake on .... the ebrake is the best way to make a remote start not start w/o it on ... I have had several also and I have never seen any of my rides pass by w/o me! ... SO Whitebird I am with ya
