Car starters as 1755 manual

I have a Ford Ranger, that is a manual transmission. I was wondering if i could put an automatic car starter in it. Find yourself a great local shop and they can do it… And if Mobile Edge is within miles… Well.. I have no way of knowing the specific details of this install. Perhaps they took other precautions. This would never be the way that we would do it. Gives us all a bit of a black eye. What you need to do is go back to that shop and ask them to explain exactly how this vehicle is safe and how ALL of the required safety functions perform properly.

Make them show you. If they cannot, I would politely ask for them to take it out and refund all of your money. Injuring someone because of this potentially bad install would be horrible to live with.

I have a G6 and I was wondering about a automatic starter. With my car it has to be in reverse to remove the key so netural and e brake isnt an option. I figure the answer to my? Is this a defect in your switch, or the way it was from factory?

I was wondering the same thing. I too have that exact vehicle. With having to leave the key in the ignition only invites a thief to take it. That is normal for that vehicle. There should be an electronic switch to allow the key to be released when the shifter is in reverse.

We should be able to recreate that scenario once the system has activated reservation mode by setting the E-brake. It would require some additional diagnostic and wiring, but it can be done. Xavier, assuming it is fuel injected, yes you can! Stop in anytime with the vehicle and we can provide you with a firm price quote. I have a manual Mazda3. Was thinking about an auto starter.

Worried about hassle and safety. Would it work in this car? Is it worth it? I cannot see any reason why it would not work in your vehicle. Stop in with the vehicle when you have a chance and we can go over the unit in detail and answer any questions.

I have a turbo timer installed on my Evo X. Can you use the remote start in conjunction with a turbo timer? That is a great question. Stop in with your vehicle and let us take a look at exactly how your turbo timer operates and perhaps we can make this work.

Thanks for the great comment and question. I have a Toyota Tercel, manual transmission, 1. Can I put a remote starter on it? Stop in with the vehicle at your convenience and we will look it over and quote you a price.

Thanks for checking out our site! I would look for a quality installer in your area and have them look over your vehicle. In theory, the manual transmission aspect of it will work, however we do not recommend remote starters on carbureted engines. You can install a remote starter on a carbureted vehicle by installing a door unlock motor and ball chain on the throttle just as if you were adding a cruise control, then program a point to pulse this output before crank, and again at the start acknowledgement point.

We used to do this all the time. Mobile Edge does not support or endorse this process. Not saying that it has not and cannot work. It is not something that we would be comfortable putting our name on. If we cannot feel comfortable that the vehicle will start all the time, we will not take the job.

I have a 04 Cavalier 5 speed and well to start my car the clutch is required to be pressed down, am I still able to get a automatic start for it?

Have a Sunfire with a standard transmission. What model of a command start would you recommend. I have Honda crx with a 5 speed tranny. Yes they do… The starters will try up to three times to start the vehicle before giving up. Will the car begin to act funny later down the road in a couple of years? Like anything else, if you get a quality product and have it installed by a professional, you should not have to worry.

We have done hundreds of Manual Trans installs and have not had any issues. I drive a manual Mitsubishi Eclipse and installed a Bulldog remote starter in it 3 years ago. The install took all day but it has worked as advertised since I put it in. The only problem is that the range is not the best as I simply have a 10 gauge wire running from the switched switch to the back of the car. Do you guys sell anything antenna or otherwise that I could incorporate with this install that would give me better range?

Perhaps a remote with an antenna? I would contact the manufacturer and see if they can give you any advice.

It would be impossible to tell what is wrong with your installation without taking a look at it. It would be our opinion that you should take this back to your installer and explain what happened.

They should be able to assess your problem. I have a Jeep Wrangler 5spd is there a way I could get a remote start even if I dont have automatic locks or anything? Yes, you can, but in order to do it the most secure way, you would need an additional part. The part would detect any motion with the vehicle. It says in this article that once you get out, and if someone opens the door again, the starter wont work.

Not something that you want to wait on and the dealer that put it in should feel the same way… When done correctly, these devices are safe but it sounds like you may have something out of whack!

Good luck. If I remote start my manual transmission car will the engine shut off when I get to my car and open the door to get in? Great question… No.. When putting the vehicle into reservation mode, the unit is looking for the door to open and close at which time the vehicle shuts off. When remote starting the vehicle, this does not come into play and the vehicle will stay running. Tap the brake and drie away. Hello I have a 90 5. Tim, I do not personally know anyone in the area to recommend.

As for a brand… At this time, Mobile Edge is extremely happy with the Compustar brand. We have been selling Compustar for several years and they are a top notch company. Sorry… I get passionate about this stuff … Go to the place that impresses you… the place that you feel confident will do the job right. When buying a remote starter it is never a good idea to trust your business to the lowest bidder …. I have a 04 Saturn Ion. I recently have had problems with it starting and everything I have read say that this car has a manufacture glitch that some anti-theft gell in the ignition freezes and it wont start in the cold.

Some people say that there is no way to fix it and others say that installinga remote start will bypass that anti-theft issue and allow the car to start everytime. But it is a manual and I dont think my E break works well because the car always slides on a hill even when it is in 1st gear.

Do you think a remote start would fix it and is a remote start even possible? I have never heard of this situation. I do not agree that a remote starter should be used to bypass an existing problem. If there is an underlying problem, that should be fixed before installing a remote car starter. Stop by our shop or if we are too far away, find a shop that you trust and can put your faith in… Money is not the deciding factory here!! Mitch, will it work on old school cars?

It will work on MOST manual transmission vehicles.. I have a 03 Tacoma trd manual transition. Would a remote start work for this truck since I am purchasing a system by viper which is the v security system with remote start? I cannot comment on the Viper system since we do not sell that brand. I can tell you that we can install a Compustar in your vehicle. Just make sure that you go to a specialist retailer to purchase and install your starter.

At this time, Mobile Edge is very happy with the Compustar brand. We have had a great deal of success with them. We would need a LOT more information to answer this question… Please consult with the company that installed it for assistance. If that was us, please provide an invoice number and we can set up a troubleshoot appointment.

I often park my manual on very steep hills, so as a precaution I always put the car in 1st and put on the parking brake. However, I will not always want to use the remote start when I activate the parking brake, and I usually put the car in 1st when using the parking brake. Is there any way to install an alternate activation method such as a button so I could use the parking brake in conjunction with 1st gear when I park? Activating the parking brake does not mean that you have to use the remote starter.

Engaging the parking break is one of the things that you NEED to do in order to use the remote starter. I hope that makes sense. If I am understanding your question, you do not need a special switch.

HOWEVER, it is important to understand that if the vehicle is in 1st gear, the remote starter will obviously not function.

What if you open the passenger door? Does it reset the system at that point or is it just the driver side door? My mom have a remote start that she bought for her Honda Accord range.

My honda accord is a and stick shift. Is there a possibility to use that one. Compared to the premium model and the sister car Scion FR-S, the subaru brz limited has both keyless entry and push to start. Is it possible, and what are the risks to get a remote start for a push to start ignition? This may be my deciding factor which model to choose, so I appreciate your comments. Chris, we only sell our remote starters installed.

That said, we sell the Compustar brand at our store and have nothing but excellent things to say about the company. You should find a Compustar dealer in your area and have them show you some models.

Hi there. When I bought the car, he showed me how to use the Command Start and I saw that it worked. Now, unfortunately, no matter what I try, I cannot take the keys out of the ignition and leave the engine running as you explained and as the previous owner demonstrated.

Nothing works. Can you please let me know how to accomplish this? I do not sell that brand, but you absolutely have a problem with your installation or the product. It is a serious problem. You should discontinue using the remote starter entirely until you can get the vehicle to a Viper dealer for assistance. In my car, the alarm goes off if there is an attempt to start the car while the alarm is armed.

The alarm arms automatically when the doors are locked. Is it possible to install a remote start without setting off the alarm when it is used? The short answer is yes it is possible. We would need to look over your vehicle here at our store to get more specific however. Even in neutral I have to push the clutch in to start it. I have an Honda Accord 5 Spd.

My issue with mine is if i go into my trunk for any reason after i have shut off my car , my auto start will not work.

Is this a safety feature aswell as the doors being open after the fact? Christina, I suspect that it is working properly. My wife has a Jeep Wrangler. I have had many discussions with installers on this subject. The one issue always is what if we have taken the doors off.

Actually a great question… Understand that some shops may handle this differently that we do. The way that we would install it for safety reasons would eliminate the possibility of using the remote starter while the doors were off. As you said, it needs to see the opening and closing of the door in order to get into reservation mode. Without that happening it would not be able to be put into reservation mode, thus not allowing the remote starter to function. How difficult is it to take off the doors when the sensor wire?

Is this something I can do, or would I have to bring it into the shop? Mitch, we are trying to put a remote starter on a Jeep Wrangler with a manual transmission but cannot locate the clutch switch. Any ideas. Kelly, Thanks for finding our site. Unfortunately, we do not offer any installation assistance on the site. We simply are not staffed for this. If you are local to our store, you could bring the vehicle to us and we can provide you with an installation consultation.

There is a reasonable fee that we charge for this service. I wish you luck with your project. But, I have a Genesis Coupe that unfortunately operates in the winter. It has a push button start.

You mention having to turn a key to have this method work, would turning off the ignition with the push button have the same effect, or no? If not, are there better options for my vehicle? I just bought a used Jeep Wrangler. It is a manual transmission. It has a Clifford Responder LC3 It says if I get this to refer to the online manual.

There is not an online manual for this model on the Clifford website. I also followed the directions in your video about the reservation mode. Any suggestions? The Clifford will likely work a lot differently than the Compustar remote car starters that we offer. I would definitely consult with an authorized Clifford dealer or contact the manufacturer. Since it is a manual transmission, you do not want to mess around with maybes or assumptions.

I have a manual Hyundai Veloster with Push to Start button. Can you put a remote start in this type of vehichle? Kelvin, we are able to install a remote starter on your vehicle. Please stop in with it and let us have a look.. We can go over all of the options and at that point figure out what it is going to cost. I had a remote starter installed on my manual transmission car.

However, the clutch switch was disengaged to be off and was bypassed when the starter was installed. Is this normal? Good question. Logic would dictate that, since you are remote starting mainly to warm up or cool down your vehicle, that your windows would likely be closed.

For folks that do not want to leave anything to chance we offer a sensor that detects movement. If it does see movement, it immediately shuts down the vehicle. I own a ford ranger 5 speed its just a little 2. We can absolutely do this for you! Please stop in with your Ranger and let us show you what options are available.

Feel free to stop in anytime during normal business hours! We do not offer remote car starter installations on carbureted vehicles. While there are solutions available, we have found that, in general, they do not provide a good user experience. Mitch, I have a Mercedes 5- speed,and I have to engage the clutch to start the engine. Alverce, We would be happy to take a look at it.

Please stop in with the vehicle at your convenience. Mercedes vehicles are always something that we like to take a look at before quoting. Good work. Thanks for the kind words. And yes, a skilled installer can install a remote start in your vehicle. Good luck with your search! Hi Mitch thanks for explaining everything very well. Thank you!!! We have remote starts for hybrids.

And with the remote start the car will pre-heat or pre-cool the vehicle depending on your climate control settings. As a result, once the desired temperature is reached, the engine will shut off.

Then it will restart when it becomes necessary to adjust the interior temperature based on your settings. As you can see, a remote start for a Hybrid vehicle has great benefits! For example when a manufacturer says your range is 2, feet that is the best you can ever hope to get. In fact in the city with the amount of electrical interference all around us, the remote car starter could get only half to a quarter of the advertised range.

Therefor instead of 2, feet you may get as little as or feet. Our standard remote starters have plenty of range for average use. They do great and rarely do we get a complaint about range.

Most remote starters we carry rated above 3, to 5, feet a mile is 5, feet will do a great job for longer range needs. We carry mz spread spectrum technology remote car starters that give nearly a mile range best case. With the extra power, you will have the ability to remote start the car deep inside a shoping center, sports complex, or movie theatre parking garage.

And you can even get confirmation on your remote control that tells you your car actually did start. In brief, with these systems you can start your vehicle, lock and unlock it from any distance, even from another city or state. A two-way remote starter gives you feedback on your remote control that what you asked it to do got done. As an example, the remote control receives a signal from your car and confirms to you the doors locked or the vehicle started.

If you have an alarm as part of your remote start package it will confirm any alarm triggers. Accordingly your remote will make a beep sound and either flash a lighted button or show an icon on its display. Does the Remote Start include a car alarm? A remote start does not include an alarm but it can if you want. However, if you need the added security of our car security systems, you can purchase the remote starter with a car alarm in a combination unit.
