the remote start on a manual trans can be a verry bad idea, even if your like me (I never leave the car in gear) because the car can lurch forwarrd if in the minute chance you do accidentily leave the car in gear (it does happen) anyhow i saw a vid one time when i was learning how to install remote starts where a guy had one in his manual trans jetta, he had left it in gear on accident and when he started the car it drove accross a field and into a building. anyhow, nice idea just need extra fail safes (maybe make a sensor so it knows when its in gear and disables the start function. hmmmm
I've had a remote start for a year and set it up so if it's in gear it won't start, without having to go through the steps most companies use on manual cars. I did it with some relays and mag switches. Two mags, one on both sides of the stick (front&back), and two strips of mags a set distance from where the stick engages the gears. So one strip in front of the 1,3,5,R and another behind the 2,4,6.
Getting them set the right distance is a little tricky, so that in neutral they don't trip, but in gear it will. But once done it works like a charm. And if for some reason it does fail your in the same boat as before with your ebrake and all.
I never really liked the whole procedure you have to go through before exiting the vehicle to remote start it when you come back, but thats just me.
