That's the idea, All it's doing is making sure the car is in park and your foot is on the brake when you start and stop it. On a manual, you'd need to set the parking brake and hold in the brake but not the clutch. reason for this is that way the car cannot be in gear. That's the biggest thing that I'm worried about putting remote start in a manual is that someone starts it up and the car ends up driving into something or worse, someone. That's a whole lot of liability that I don't want to bear. The proximity thing is definitely part of the equation. Just want to find out if it needs to be something that can have a trigger so that if you are within a certain distance of the car, it will either automatically unlock or if it is setup so you walk up to the car, press a button and it unlocks. I personally want it the later way of the two but other want it to just be unlocked when you get up to it so that is something I want to make programmable. Other than that, it's all about getting enough people interested in this so we can start really moving forward with it. I also want to make the range of the remote for starting and locking/unlocking at least 200 feet so that you can start it from a decent distance.
