Remote starting in a manual transmission car (manual trans) How To

[@ajentsong6151]

i like it....well explained, simple, straightforward, and to the point! People who are not mechanically incline should not try/do this and let a certified auto technician to install it instead.

So there must be enough of a delay built in for the ignition to turn on, the remote start system sees the ready signal from the e-brake(which now has power) and then the remote start will crank? I’m wondering because I’d like to wire in a proximity switch on the shifter in series with the ebrake, but the switch needs power.

Is that not going to have a constant parasitic drain on the battery while you are parked with the activated electromagnet in the relay?

HI, I need some help. I just installed a Viper 4806V 2way starter on a 2011 Yaris manual trans. I paired it with ADS-ALCA bypass. My yaris has a engine emobillizer. I think I made a few mistakes. Here are the symptoms after install. After I finished. I set up the ADS-ALCA bypass module as per instructions, key in, turn to on light solid and select 2way bla bla bla. All went good. Then I programed the tach wire, all good there. Then I tried to initiate the manual startup mode. Turned the car on, then put in neutral, then press brake and pull Ebrake and the remote sounds the tune that all is good as it always does, BUT, NOW when I take the key out the car it's suppose to stay on until I go out shut the do and hit LOCK, then the car shut's off and remote makes the sound similar to the activation sound but a little different, but not like BEEEP as in error. Could it be because these mistakes I made. This is my 4rth VIper remote start DIY install and second on a Manual trans and it's been 5 years since the last time I installed it on a manual. I also did not hook up the door lock wires correctly coming from the viper remote brain to the lock wires in the car. Viper shoots out (-) trigger through it's blue and green wires. Lock/unlock wires on the car are positive. I have the same needle light you have, hooked up to the battery in the engine bay. when I poke the lock/unlock wires in the car, the GREEN light comes on, BUT when I press lock/ unlock button on the door, the RED light comes one, SO they are a positive trigger. I will get relays and fix it. For now they sit like that. I just want to mention everything I left under question mark that need fixing. I did not attach clutch wire for clutch bypass. I dont think I need to since the starter activates before removing the key when I kit brake and pull EBRAKE. 1. Starter wire from the viper remote start brain, I spliced it into the starter wire in the ignition. But I did not cut the wire. Should I cut the wire and then attach the starter wire from the starter to the ignition side of the cut starter wire? 2. I have 2 ignition wires. I taped into the 2nd ignition wire. I thought it does not matter. How should I do this. Should I take the ignition wire from the starter brain ad make it into a T and tap one side into the ignition 1 and the other in the ingition 2

I want to install one on my 2013 Sonic. I do not want to have to do a reservation mode so I want to put one from an automatic car. If I hook it up will it start the car even without the clutch being pressed?

thanks for all these great vids to help us DIYers out! i have a remote start system thats not designed for 5spd cars, im trying to install in 5spd 2004 corolla. im assuming this system you propose only works if the user remembers to put car in neutral every time they park. seems like if it was left in gear, the car may try to start, and stall because of e-brake.. other thing is- i havent started my install yet- but what about the clutch pedal? i need to have that depressed to start car usually. also- why use hood pin input if remote start has a neutral safety (-) input as well? my research shows manual trans don't have neutral safety switches... that would make our lives easier. thanks!

[@dmsfloyd]

Great Video Thanks

[@NigelM18]

Ya, still not safe if knocked into gear somehow. Here a how I did mine..... same concept but ran through magnetic switches that can tell if the shifter is in gear 1,3,5 and another one for 2,4,R

[@dmsfloyd]

Yes the E brake needs to be used and I install magnetic switches at shifter as well with magnets glued to shifter and run that into the brake pedal wire using a relay. Extra safe. There are lots of ways to be safe. Love the video

[@mgbarela]

technically I can use a auto remote start for automatics on a manual transmission if I wire it like you suggest ?? :)) thanks what about affecting cranking?? I have not bought anything yet...

[@kintech4585]

My manual trans subaru forester has a neutral switch (used for disabling cruise control or for engine idle control) and it sends a signal to the ECU (unsure of polarity) but would it be alright to add this wire to the hood pin switch + ebrake as well?

[@anthonydellacroce3447]

I know this video is 5 years old, but I got a 93 honda del sol manual transmission, and I found a system I like but it says for automatic only. I should be able to wire it up the way you show, correct? It is a good running car, e-brake and clutch sensor works properly.

[@Lesscoelectronics]

Yep

[@pjr6537]

What do I do with the neutral safety wire? Tie it in with the hood pin?

[@snakeinmaui]

I believe my Parking brake is negative at rest and 12 volts when engaged but unfortunately I only get 12 volts when I turn on the key (i suppose it is only for the dashboard light?) Might you have some way around this? 2003 Ford Ranger. Also, trying to figure out what to do with Neutral Safety wire. I assume I can tie it to the same circuit as the Parking brake work around? Thanks for any insight.

[@arnoldferrer2021]

Mr. Lessco Long time follower. Very detailed info i appriciate you sir! ... Im wondering if u could provide a reliable schematic or a diagram for 2014 ford fiesta st. Ive been searching.. And so far.its very far..no one or im not looking hard enough... its a manual with a push 2 start n stop button.and what alarm / remote start i shld get Thnk you so much!

[@Lesscoelectronics]

Yes, Of course! Just email me the request, Ill reply back, send it to: [e-mail]

[@mgbarela]

as a working alternative, but correct me if I am wrong please would you :)

[@Dj1Kreationz]

Not safe if shifter is in gear 🤷
