Remote start in a MT.

[AJ]

Has anyone had this done at a local store? I stopped by Street Scenes last night off 81 and he said the installer wouldn't do it due to the horror stories of people starting the cars and sending them through the garage due to having it in gear.

I'd like to get a unit for the Speed6 and this time around have one that will tell me if the car is running or not, and also have some additional security features on it.

I'm curious to know if places like Best Buy, and ultimate will install this on a MT.

Some will, some won't, but chances are the big retailers won't due to liability reasons. I know Mach 1 in Golden Valley will install a remote start on a manual tranny car and they sell a lot of the high-end stuff so you should be able to get exactly what you're looking for. Check with the dealer too, I bet you can get a Mazda one that would be covered under the warranty. Have you checked with the SST that sponsors MNSC? I was very impressed with them when I got my windows done.

I am pretty sure that most places will not due it for the same fact of what you were told by street scenes. I will talk to my bubby at Best Buy, he is friends with all of the master installers. But I am sure that there is somewon that could do it for you.

As mentioned in your thread on The Other Board, you're going to have to be very careful with everything on that car due to is being CAN-based. The BUS's in a CAN system are very sensitive; that is if anyone ever gets access to read the data strings coming off of the Mazda BUS.

Chris, what location did you go to? The one on 81 or Uni? I was at the one in 81, and I can't say I got a good first impression.

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

I don't know what he just said ^. but thats cool
I loved my viper xv 791 2 way alarm. It had a little screen and would tell me all about what was going on with my car. I would say check Ebay for the alarm itself and most likely SST by northtown will do it. If you can't find anyone, let me know i might have someone that can do it. (he does work at a big company)

I actually have tried to remote start my car a few times when it was in gear. Thank god it was in fourth, so it didn't jump to much and refused to start.
