Remote starters for Manual Trans.

Havoc724 · #1 09-07-2005, 12:24 AM

My friend had a manual trans GS-R Integra and had an alarm with remote start. I've looked online but all I've seen is for fuel injected automatic trans. cars. I want a quality alarm system w/ remote start. I know I'm gonna need extra parts to have remote start for a manual trans but I wanna know what companies to look at. And also, is it a hard install to do myself?

What's this have to do with audio?

Ok, I'm an asshole. Forgive me.

compustar is the only company that makes an alarm/remote start for a manual.........and if your going to install it yourself you need to bypass the clutch

Kcg795, Nothing. But where do you see a car alarm section? I looked for one but didn't see it. Being that it is something that PROTECTS your car audio I thought this is where I would get the best input. But thanks for your great input, it was very helpful... And Thanks Mikejonessss, I'll look into them.

Cool, Thx Manny. Lol but how exactly do I do that?

why fool with it? that is my question. your parking break should NOT be your only source of stopping the car from rolling, it should ALWAYS be in 1st of Reverse especailyl when parked on a hill.
Also, the first time you forget to leave it in neutral and you go to start it, its going to drain your battery like no ones business...if not overheat your starter...

or it will jerk forward and slam the car parked in front of you

intersting tidbit to add to the topic. I read on some news site, at one of the big expensive car auctions, some guy wanted to show off how perfect his lamborgini countach (sp?) ran, Well, he used his remote starter, and left it in 1st.

Well, it started instantly allright, then it hit a porsche....hehe

that some hella strong starters to have the torque to turn over the engine and move the vehicle...

Most starters will draw upwards of 3-400 amps while cranking, that's some power right there

Well after thinking about it, and taking everyones input I'm just gonna pass on the remote start. Cuz I thought about all the times I left the car in 1st in my civic and forgot when I started the car then had it stall out on me and bump a few cars. By the way, anyone have a good alarm in mind that has a 2 way LCD remote that alerts when the car is opened/hit with good range? Or are they just overrated?

no problem, i use to have an ole dodge, it would start the truck in first gear, didn't care. you leave a 2 ton dumptruck in gear(unloaded, don't know about loaded), you crank the starter, she'll move (till you jump on the clutch).

I've got the Python 871XP, it's nice, I wouldn't ever want to go back to a car alarm without the 2-way system. The Python 700 I think is the same thing without the remote start, but I'm not sure. Either way, you don't have to hook up the remote start if you get a system with it and don't want it.

i have a Pheonix Digital PD-175...beleive it or not it isnt a bad alarm system, i truely have a nearly 3000ft range (my truck was parked in the teachers parking lot 1/4mile-1/2 mile away and i was in the football stands, some kid rolled by with a loud system and it started vibrating in my pocket)
Its siren isnt all that great but it is a deteriant, they have door triggers, starter imboilizers, door lock/unlock, trunk pop (not being used obviously) and it does have rem start but since my truck is a manual i dont use that (or the immobilizer). and they are quite cheap, ive had it for over a month and its been working great so far.
