has anyone installed a remote car starter for a M/T crossfire? And if so, how much was the cost of buying/installation?

 

I don't think you can because of hte potential that the car is left in gear; you could damage the clutch.

I'm pretty sure it's an automatic tranny thing only

 

You have also the issue of the transponder in the key. Check audio/video section and some have figured it out. I think they had to take a duplicate key and install it close enough to send the signal to start. I love remote start and have it on all my cars, and I don't even live in the snow, but I don't want to mess with this car. I have installed r/s starts since the late 80's. I had one on a manual mustang, but you have to make sure you don't leave it in gear. You bypass all the safety by wiring to start a manual. You get used to it and pretty soon it becomes habit. Good luck.

until the e brake goes out of adjustment or the line snaps and your parked on a hill, removing the clutch start switch is a bad idea and unsafe too boot.

 

The Clifford G5 is designed to work for cars that use manual. If you read under "IntelliStart" it tells you that it works for manuals and automatics. There are a lot of cars out there that are setup to remote start with manual transmission. I don't think anyone with a Crossfire has installed an aftermarket alarm yet though. The transponder key can easily be bypassed with a bypass module. The new bypass modules don't require a key.

 

i have an alarm on mine with the 2 way pager key chain thing. but no matter what even if it worked without removing the clutch start switch, you would still have to leave the car in nuetral for the remote start.

 

Which brand and part number is the bypass module for the crossfire?
thanks,

I have AutoStart with transponder module, Very safe, Car will not start unless it is in neutral + same if hood is popped open..Love it...

 

Our shop installs quite a few Remote Starts but the liability is too great to touch a manual transmission vehicle. Switches fail quite often and one can only imagine it starting in gear and hitting someone.

 

This is my third one, so far so good.. understandably in U.S it is almost as easy launching a lawsuit as buying a CD at Wal-Mart, sympathies.
