- grecy 4y agoRemote start on manual trans cars is very common in Canada. My 2011 wrangler has it from factory.
- burnt_toast 4y agoLol, manuals can be equipped with remote start too. Hopefully it wasn't left in gear.
- jaywcarman 4y agoI was intrigued by this statement and did some searching. Sure enough it does exist: https://www.compustar.com/blog/can-you-remote-start-a-manual-transmission-stick-shift-vehicle/ https://www.compustar.com/blog/can-you-remote-start-a-manual... > This is accomplished via clutch bypass, reservation mode, and built-in safety features. I still would never want it... but it's an interesting system.
- itslennysfault 4y agoI had a manual Acura Integra when I was younger and I installed a remote start on it because shops refused to (because it's dangerous af). Anyways, the clutch pedal simply presses a little button when it is all the way up. All I had to do is bridge the two wires going into that button and it would start without the clutch pressed. Amazingly I only ever tried to remote start it while in gear once. It retries 3 times so it jumped forward 3 times. About a foot each time, but didn't hit anything thankfully. I always wanted to add a sensor to the shifter so it'd only bypass the clutch sensor when in neutral, but I never got around to doing it.
