remote starter (and alarm) for manual trans

[hazmat404]

where do i get one, whats a good bang for the buck and who do i have install these (cause i know many places wont)? i never ever park my car in gear and i never have. i am the ONLY person that drive my car so there is NO chance of it being in gear and if for some reason someone does drive my car i will not be using the remote starter...so with all that disclaimer past us, is there a good place to rig this up or some system that works best and how much might i be looking at?

it might be a present to myself for getting a new job come the new year but i want to start to research it right now so i know what to look at and how much i want to sink into it. give me any and all opinions (except about manual trans people that leave it in gear cause i dont)

There are a few models with a neutral safety switch that prevents it from working when not in neutral. One of my buddies had it on his SRT-4 and the switch failed and the car lurched forward and dented garage door. Not safe IMO. All it takes is the car to be up on a lift at a dealership and someone to lean on the button or a short and disaster. There are systems out there and ways to rig other ones to work as well but there is a reason that most of the mainstream manufacturers stay away from this setup.

May have improved the design since I did my in depth research

DEI just came out with their new models and there are ones that have the netural safety switch and their stuff is good, doubt you'll have many problems but if you do go to a shop to have it serviced just put it in valet mode.
