you will have to get it installed by somebody on the side. What I mean is that cartoys or bestbuy wont do it b/c it is a standard

a custom shop might do it, but with no paperwork/warranty etc.

I do it for a living, and I was always pissed that I put in remote starts all day, and I don't have one! I did not want to put it in without a safety feature, so I made my own "intellistart module" using 2 relays and a 10 amp manual reset breaker. I used a momentary switch to activate the remote start while the vehicle is still running, and hooked up the relays and breaker (I put the breaker next to the momentary for easy access) so that I must leave the car running in order to open a door without the breaker popping. If the breaker pops, I cannot R/S the vehicle. But if I use the R/S takeover, take the key out (vehicle still running), get out, shut the door, and then shut off remote start with key fob, then I can R/S the vehicle. if someone opens the door without the ignition on, the breaker pops, and I cannot R/S it!

the only way it could remote start in gear is if someone put it in gear by reaching in when the doors are off, or the top is off/windows down, etc. I just don't leave my windows down when parked, and when I take my doors off, I disable the remote start, and don't remote start it!

here is the schematic for my own intellistart. I assume no responsibility, nor do I guarantee the degree of safety this system provides, use at your own risk, etc. etc. yada yada yada...

Don't get anything that isn't made by DEI or compustar.

I have the UltraStart 4561M-XR in my 99 TJ. It is made for manual transmission vehicles. It is a 2 way alarm with remote start with 1.5 mile range. I am a UltraStart and Compustar dealer.

I have an UltraStarter on my Ford F250 Powerstroke Diesel w/5 speed tranny.

It works flawlessly and there is a fail safe so that you won't have to worry about whether or not you left it in neutral. It has to do with a series of steps the driver has to perform when exiting the vehicle. Basically, the vehicle is running when you take the key and exit. It shuts the engine off when the door is closed behind you. If you re-enter the vehicle without first starting it remotely, it will disengage the remote starting feature until you go through the series of steps to arm it again.

Hope this helps.

This is exactly how the mannix alarm/remote start system works too. I goes for around 180.00 or about 120.00 on ebay. do a search on yahoo or google for it that is how I found it.

I went to Curcuit City and had them install a proxcimity sensor in addition to the regular alarm and starter kill. I had them put in a back up battery and a pin on the hood in case someone thries to get into the engine compartment. For about $400.00 It took them about 6 hours to do. It is kind of cool because the proximity sensr chirps at the sea gulls as they land on my soft top.
It came with two remote. and will page me up to 1000ft away if anyone tries to get in. Lowered my car insurance by 10% for having the starter kill.
