99 TA Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 I want to put a remote car starter on my truck but it's a M5 and not an auto. Couldn't I just disengage the clutch pedal sensor for it to workor something like that? Has anyone ever done this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest crx34 Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 I've heard of it done, most shops won't install remote starters on 5 speeds, insurance purposes I guess. When you wire it up you have to bypass the clutch or something Make sure you don't keep it in gear anymore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest badmuthrfkr Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 It's doable, and there are systems out there for manual vehicles. How much money do you have to throw at it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just lazy and don't want to go out and start my truck this winter. The truck is a 91 S-10 no power anything. It's one of those daily driver put a scratch or dent where there isn't already one kind of vehicles. I like where you are from too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stolen 5.0 Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 i believe you have to unplug the neutral safety switch or "trick" it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIEF Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Yup you have to bypass the clutch switch. IMO it's not worth it, trust me. Me and another guy did it at the shop (took awhile, kind of a wiring nightmare). Kid gets in the car (it was a civic) starts it, forgot his phone. Shuts car off and left in 1st, after we told him he had to leave it in neutral, goes back out and uses the remote. Bam! Hits car in front of his, then he looks around to see who saw..and we all did. Moral: don't do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest badmuthrfkr Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 My friend used to work at CCA, and when they do it, they install magnets within the gearbox. Call Tony Barker at Mobile Electronics, 478-5033. Only let Barry or Jason work on your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
