Has anyone bypassed the clutch pedal safety and installed remote start? I'd like to buy a manual transmission car but, living in Michigan, I'd also like to get into a warm car during the cold months.

Not sure why it is deleted by the factory. Could they not have connected to somthing like a neutral safety switch with the parking brake set in order for the starter to initiate? dannboss 04-08-09, 11:13 AM It is possible to wire an aftermarket remote start system to the V, but usually not performed by any installer. If you find one that will do it you are lucky, and I have never been confident tapping into my ignition system. The reason they never came with one is because people used to remote start a manual transmission with it in gear and go through the wall of their garage. In summary....it is possible. Work on wiring a push button start instead. Richie18 04-08-09, 11:16 AM It is possible to wire an aftermarket remote start system to the V, but usually not performed by any installer.

By now you would think they would figure out how to use a position sensor to determine 1) car is in neutral 2) parking brake is engage How hard could that be? wait4me 04-08-09, 12:59 PM I can turn off the clutch activation switch in the software if you really need it done. It makes it so you can have a remote start. If you flashed the bcm for a automatic, and the right key fob and a tune, and your remote start should work with a factory keyfob.
