With an DCT or Auto gear box you need to step on the brake pedal in order to start the car. So you will need to defeat that safety feature. I agree with the others... this is an accident waiting to happen with a manual trans.

I must admit I really do not know why having a remote starter appeals to people. I like what the Germans do... They have something called: Standheizung


Standheizung is basically a separate(aux) heating system for your car. You can program the "heater" to turn on before you need to drive your car. Most Germans park their cars on the street, so a warm car will melt the snow and ice off the car BEFORE you need to drive away! You can also control this heater with your cell phone app. This aux heater uses very little fuel(important when fuel costs ~$9 per gallon). Standheizung normally costs around 1,200 euros installed for most car models.
