Will the Viper 5900 or 7900 Alarm/Remote Starter Work On a Car With Manual Transmission?

Question

I have been looking at car security/remote start systems, and I have come across the Viper 5900 and 7900, both of which I very much like. However, I am not sure if they will work on a manual transmission.

If they will not, what are some good, similar security/remote start systems that will work wtih a manual transmission?

Here are the links to the 5900 and 7900.

Don't try to tell me that they are useless or a waste of my money... I already know that.

Remote start systems are available that will work safely with manual transmission vehicles. None of them are made by Viper.

I'd check into Compustar remote starts. They aren't as well-known as Viper, but they have a very good reputation and they have models designed for manual transmissions.

Scytek is another manufacturer that offers remote starts for manual transmissions under their Astra brand.

If a remote start isn't made for manual transmissions, it's an EXTREMELY bad idea to install it into a manual transmission vehicle.

I have a crime stopper on my car. it's a manual transmission. just a note. it's going to be very very rare to find an installer to put it on your car because I liability issues. To get mine to start, the installer had to deactivate the clutch interlock on the car. so basically it will start without having to push in the clutch. Also, make sure you are able to lock out the remote start option incase you have to take it into the shop. My car was in an accident at a firestone dealer because somebody there left it in gear and activated the remote start. Good luck
