Remote Start

Anyone know of a good remote start system for a manual transmission. Something easy to install, long range and wont put a dent in my wallet. I'm looking to spend about 100 bucks, but if the system has some extra useful features then I'd go up to 150. Google is a huge slut and there's just to much information and marketing nonsense these days. So I like to ask real people 1st before I go jumping into the cesspool!

 

I guess I need to wire something for the clutch, or neutral position switch or something. Gotta look that up as well.

 

I just rebuilt my car which now has forged pistons and I warm it up to normal operating temp just to drive it and I am now realizing how much of a pita this is lol. Especially when it's cold outside or befor and after work when I hit the snooze button to many times or just want to go home. So super long range is key, not sure what my options are with all this smartphone, wifi etc. But I am assuming I need the basic rf because I have do no wifi in my car atm. But I am willing to venture out if seems worthwhile.

 

I have been meaning to install this, but I still need to find a radio to go with it.

Lets you install an android radio system, so I would maybe need a wifi thingy from a mobile provider to have it stand alone and not need my cell phone for internet. So if thats the case I would have mobile wifi.... lots to think about.

Anything dei. And you CAN tap into the neutral safety switch so it won’t start in gear.

dei? https://www.directed.com/ ??

 

This is a lot more complicated than I thought, do I need some kind of module for our car alarm ? I am so lost lol.

Dei makes viper, python avital etc. you wil need a bypass module on top of whatever remote start you choose that will handle the door locks and other related data and you will need to do a key in a box to handle the transponder. It’s really not that difficult to install but it is a job.

You can actually do it for a little more than $100

That's not bad.

key in a box?? Will I need the stealership to program stuff or can I do it all on my own? I am way out of my element here lol!

Please explain how I could do this ?? What parts would you buy?

Ok so prices have gone up but there are actually a few options one of which will even work with the factory remote.

You would need all three of these to do a remote start with new fobs. The idatalink module would have to be flashed for your car (I have all the tools to do this) and a spare key will go in the 556u for the transponder.

whats this key thing you keep talking about? Is that the code the remote start needs to turn the alarm/immobilizer off?

On most cars when you are doing a remote start, that bypass module will handle the door lock data AND the transponder bypass for remote start, on Subarus of our gen I haven’t had much luck so I use a key in a box. It’s a box that you put a key in and tuck waaay up under the dash in a sneaky location. There is a wire with a copper ring that plugs into it that you place around the ignition barrel. The box you put the key in gets wired into the remote start and sends the signal from the key inside to the ignition barrel tricking it into passing the transponder for remote start.

This is what an install looks like minus the “key in a box” there’s even pictures!

I was always told that this was not a good ideal. But if i works for you great.

What isn't a good idea? The key in the box or remote start in general?

Yeah what’s not a good idea? I was a professional remote start installer for years and have installed thousands of remote starts many of which were on manual transmissions and it’s never once damaged a vehicle. And living in wyoming you can only imagine the number of Subarus I’ve done and that includes lgt’s, sti’s, wrx’s, obxt’s and fxt’s. In fact my own sti was the first vehicle I ever installed a remote start on.
