so wife's caravan has remote start... BUT, it's OEM, so not a cut and shut job. So it's safe.
I like it.. so here's how mine works

"hit a button 2, car horn beeps, car starts. car is locked, go to car unlock the car
get in put the key in the ignition turn to start position, then go"

A lot of thought goes into it.

HACKING a rem.start into any car , is a crap shoot, depending on state, most places 99.95% of places I know deem the following to be illegal

1> To leave a car unattended and running

Especially a manual.. NOT a good idea.
long time ago Clifford has auto-starters in the UK, if you frigged it to a manual, it would void the w'tee
in fact 99.99% of installers would NOT install to a manual



Also leaving a car running on idle is not the best of things to do and doesnt warm it up as good as driving it straight, in fact most manuals say to do just that.

mind you that said, the rem.start on the caravan is great & gimmicky

But having read a LOT on line I would NO WAY aftermarket a rem.start on my BM

IMMHO - BAD IDEA
