I am going to get a remote start kit for my car. I've been told that no shop will install it on my car b/c its a stick. If that is truly the case, has anyone ever installed it on their car, and if you did, can you give me a how to on installing it?
Thanks alot,
Jeremy
Oh yeah, whats a good brand to get. I don't need an alarm really, just the remote starter.
hmm why not stick? what about when people all the time leave there car in gear ....will it start?
the car will not start.. but roll into a wall or another car.. ( alot of damage)
there are alot of people including myself that have install a remote start alarm in the celica.
the basic wire diagram is located on the sticky at the top of the page.
You will need a way to defeat the saftey clutch switch.
since i own an automatic. I will leave this step to the other people on the forum to answer your question.
the install is relatively simple. hook up the alarm (or remote start) wire to the coresponding wire in the celica wire harness.
so anyone with a manual celica installed a remote start on their car that can help me out??

I installed a remote starter on my manual transmission celica a couple of years ago. You do have ot be careful when you start it. I left mine in gear once and drove through my wife's garage door while we were dating. Her dad wasn't too happy, but what was worse was I had to help him paint the garage door again. My point is be careful or you'll mess up and have to paint garage door with your in-laws.
someone on the boards made some kinda mechanism that only allowed the remote start to start if it was in neutral... but I never got so see what it was exactly..
the best solution is the get an alarm with a turbo timer
so the car will run for like X amount of time after you arm it.. so when you start it, it will never be in gear.
if you do this you will need to disable the safely clutch switch.

what the heck are you smoking^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
think about that for a second.....with out the clutch being PHYSICALLY pushed in you CANNOT remote start your car in gear WIHTOUT rolling into sumthing/someone
an manual car with remote start MUST BE LEFT IN NEUTRAL
yeh it was me guys i did have the mechanism for it not 2 start in gear but somehow it messed up the senser and now it starts up if its in gear i have to take it to my mechanic again to see what happin to it... ill let you guys know how to make one cause mine was fabricated when i get to it.
sorry that doesn't sound to reliable if its messin up that bad....
i'll stick with leaving my car in neutral with the e-brake up

both of those are some b/s IMO. Any remote starter can be used on a manual. You still have to bypass the clutch sensor and neither comes with any thing to do it with.
I installed mine on sunday and it took like 1 hour to do. Very easy. I had to bypass the clutch system. My cruise control doesn't work b/c the clutch wires are touching, but I am going to buy an on/off switch that makes it work. When the wires touch, and you are in first gear, its like an automatic...Pretty cool
Bottom line: Need to bypass the clutch to have a remote start in manual and leave it in neutral

hmm. Never heard of them... If thats true good, but how much does that cost? Mine cost 60 with shipping. Just the starter no alarm. As long as its int neutral, its a good deal and prolly very much cheaper than clifford
