There are models made for standard transmission vehicles. Of course, the vehicle has to be parked in neutral, which means setting the park brake. They will not start your vehicle if it is left in gear! They will not get a signal unless the parking brake is set! The car will not start and drive off down the street with nobody in it! If they are illegal, you might think the companies making them would mention that, but, since they don't, I would presume there aren't too many places that have made them illegal. "The routine to enable, or set, the remote starter is done when parking the vehicle. While the vehicle is still running, you set the emergency brake and place the vehicle in neutral. Then, while the vehicle is still running, you press a button on the remote which will cause the systems status LED to flash along with the parking lights. You then remove the keys from the ignition and will notice that the engine will stay running. Within 15 seconds, you exit the vehicle and after closing the door press a button on the remote that will shut the engine down. Your vehicle can now be remote started safely. If this procedure is not followed exactly everytime before you try to attempt to remote start your vehicle, the remote start feature of the system will not operate." The above is from systems by Shelby, you may have heard of that name, and by Alert.

Remote starter. If I am not wrong, it can be done as the start of the engine does not do with manual or auto transmission of the vehicle.
You just need a key to start the engine, no matter manual and auto shall be the same, but if yr car is those equipped with latest AI technology then will be different.
Anyway my friend has one that come with his car security system.

It can be done, but it is illegal in most (if not all) states. You would have to bypass the clutch safety switch (which is illegal). If you left it in gear one night and you accidentally pushed the button in the morning (like leaning against something with the keys in your pocket), the car could drive off with no one in it and the doors still locked. The starter motor has more than enough power to start the engine while its in gear - even with the park brake on (which is usually pretty weak in most US cars.)
I also guarantee that your insurance company would drop you if anything happened as a result. I wouldn't want to foot that potential bill - even at low speed, imagine the damage you could do to other people, not to mention property.

It can be done, but there are different anti-accidental-start safety systems in a manual car vice an automatic one.
Also, you would have to make DARN sure you put the car in neutral every night, or you will end up with a car in your living room or your pool, or somewhere else you don't want it to go.

I have heard that you COULD do it. Although if is a manual no one will install it professionally because of liability reasons. My opinion is that I don't think it would work, you have to be in 1st gear to start your car in the 1st place and if your ebrake isn't on the you could go through a wall or whatever. Also who is going to push your clutch in to start it....that is my only wonder....if you could by pass that then it is a go for you.

I don't think it can be done. I believe you have to have an automatic.
