Who has done a remote start?
 

(see above)

Which system did you go with and why? Did you do the install or did you take it somewhere? If you took it somewhere, how was the experience / cost?

I am looking to do this as my next upgrade and would like to hear some opinions.

Thanks!

circuit city did mine. its a full code alarm system with alarm and remote start. that plus power locks ran me 500 installed.

^word. Thanks for the response.

no place will do it on a maual car tho. if u want that u have to do it urself or something. i had mine done by a friend just got one of those on e-bay works great!!!!! only ran me like $25 for the alarm with the remote start but i do have 3 other alarms on the car so that ebay $25 is not alone!!!!

yup agreed! They wont install on a manual car. Gotta find a shop your friends with or install yourself.

You are wrong sir! There is a place right down the road from me on RT.206 in jersey that will do them on manual cars. :wink: (OT, one of the guys that works there has a sweet ass FD)

Not friends with them either, just straight up asked them, and they said "Yeah we can do them on manuals". :)

well its illegal. if some one who got their remote start there and ends up hitting something with his car becuase it was in gear when he started it he can sew the shop! so yea there just not alwoed to do it

Well, ill give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe he misunderstood me or something......dont want anybody to get in trouble. :wink:

Not a problem . . . I have an automatic : )

What was the name of the shop. Since we from the same area, I will prolly know of them.

Im gonna keep that hush, dont want them to get in trouble from previous posts in this thread, haha. (Dont remember the name of it anyhow, sorry)

lol...its ok bud!

circuit city does manual-power lock conversions?

I'd PM WKderf. He is a wizard with that kind of stuff, and he put a remote start into his 5spd WRX.

3 outa my four doors had motors in them, so all they had to do was run a wire from the alarm to a motor they put it the drivers door.

There are shops that can install remote starts in manual cars but it requires rigging up a laser sensor or something so the remote start brain can see if the car is in gear or not.

remote starts on manual cars are NOT illegal, its just an insurance risk so most shops dont install them. pm or IM me and i can give you some direction as to the cost and advantages to some of the products out there.
