I'm gonna probably check in there sometime next week and see what I can do. As of right now, the Mazda might be getting put away for a while when the first snow flies. Then we will go back to driving the Prisim and reap the benefits of remote start again. :-)

I'm hoping to put on less than 3k miles from now till May on the Mazdaspeed anyway.

Damn dude, you just bought a new car who cares about mileage, just enjoy/drive the thing!

Jakey, I'm still trying to find more info on all the CAN based shit. This is why I hate technology. ;)

CAN is awesome if you can get access to the BUS. The problem is that everyone likes to add their own proprietary access capabilities to the data streams. There are ISO standards relating to CAN but the question is whether companies will choose to follow them or not.

Jakey/Allan, care to explain this CAN/BUS stuff you are talking about or link me to somewhere that does? Does it have to do with the no-key ignition?

If you can get a hold of John from hand command he should be able to install it for you. The only problem is I have not seen him around for about a year now so I could not tell you if he is still in. There is a shop near Elite that might be able to do it for you. For got what there name was but they are on MNSPORT. I would not trust street scene when it comes to electrical only tints.

My super, super paraphrased explanation of CAN is that everything communicates with everything over a central communication network.

Have them wire it so it will start in neutral but use the factory clutch pedal switch if it's in gear. They'd probably have to put in some sort of switch on the shifter, and use a relay or two. Shindley would love that kind of project.

I just emailed with Shindley yesterday, he seems much more cheerful now that he is done with DSM's!

I installed mine on my dsm, but I would go to the area 51 shop in brooklyn park. The remote start can most likely be done by unplugging the clutch switch (usually has 2-lower switch is for starting). They have good prices, and decent alarms, or can get a better alarm for ya.
