            I put one on my hyundai last winter. You pull the ebrake, and it stays running until you get out and shut the door. Then it shuts off and locks the doors. If you don't set the ebrake, or you open the doors after it's armed, it won't let you start the car with the remote.

              Generally that is how they are all set up, the actual "engagement/safety" procedures vary slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer, but they almost all involve ebrakes and door switches.

                Bah, I just make sure to park in neutral. 😄 Haven't had a problem yet. I don't start the car if someone else drove the car or if I am not 100% positive that the car is in neutral

                  have you installed a remote start in an automatic vehicle before? If not, I wouldn't attempt any remote starter, let alone trying to put one in a manual. They can be tricky and as other before me have posted....its ok if its you're own car and you know exactly what you're doing, but even now I will not do them anymore or customers. I had a guy run his truck into his deck and crawl up the side of his house because he forgot it was in gear....THANK GOD FOR THE "I'M NOT LIABLE" CONTRACT!

                      about an autostart on a manual?

                      starting the car in gear and the car drives it self into something.

                        If you're asking about installing an autostart in general, there's a million things that can go wrong if the person doing it doesn't know exactly what they're doing.

                          eh, remote starts aren't that hard if you have electrical knowledge. 😄

                              Meh, I'd rather not have anyone else work on my vehicles. It only took a couple of hours and I know that its done right. I'm sure that tintmasters does good work, but I trust myself more. 😄

                                Some people don't want to waste their time when they could have someone else who is a professional and has done it tons of times do it for them.

                                  It really isn't that hard...

                                  I also don't have the money to pay other people to do shit.

                                    It's economics. If it would take you 6 hours to install it (ignoring the cost of the system itself) and you make $10/hr at your job and someone else offered to install it for $59 labor it'd still make economic sense to have them install it.

                                      Yes, if you look at it from a strictly economic view. Lets figure in the fact that I enjoy working on my vehicles in my free time and it changes then.
