Just an FYI, not sure if anyone mentioned this:
My DEI (came with my car) remote start works great but I was not up to speed on how they work and assumed, wow, push the button, warm up the car, get in and go. NO, sort of, you either wait the preprogrammed period until the car shuts off or shut it off via remote, get in, then restart the carq with th key.
ALSO, and this has happened to me (LOL) if your remote system is "armed" via its out of sight on/off switch and you disconnect the battery, has soon has you reconnect the battery the car WILL START so be careful with those hands!!

This is one area where you americans are paying much more than we do in Canada.
(Usually the other way around)
We get remote starters for as low as $70.00 and 2 way starters from as low as $179.00.
I installed one on my fathers car nearly 10 years ago for $70.00 and it`s still going strong.

There are units specifically designed for manual transmission equipped cars.
The mode of operation is as follows.
When you park the car you engage the handbrake and leave the car running in neutral. You then press the remote start button while the car is still running.
You remove the key from the ignition and the car will continue to run.
Everyone exits the vehicle and closes the doors.
The engine is still running at this time.
You then press the start button on the remote once again and this shuts the motor off and puts the remote starter in ready mode.
This sequence ensures that the vehicle was left in neutral when the car was parked.
If anyone returns and opens a door for any reason the lights will flash and the auto start sequence is deactivated.

Maybe there`s something wrong w/your install?

Had a Clifford system in my 99 Maxima for many years. The Intelliguard IV with remote start module. Had the installer bury the key behind the dash. I like DEI products and highly recommend them.
I know that--that`s why I suggested that maybe something was wrong with the install.Originally Posted by BigJimZ28

you could always modify the column and make it push button start. then it will be remote start and go. but you will be in deep **** if anything happens to the column.
i did that 12 years ago with a custom truck. remote everything:
start
stop
air bags in back
hydros in front
rear bed cover
each window up/down
air/heater
wipers
stereo
lights
and more...
but i was the installer. when i took it to the dealer they didnt even know i had installed anything as i ran all the wires through factory looms and took out the dash completely to hide wires
