I wouldn't be surprised if Best Buy charges you $200 or more.

 

As he says, I've installed a bunch of these on evo's particularly the 5901, but i've always left them in automatic mode since one small thing will disable the remote start until you redo those steps again(i.e. alarm goes off, door opens .. ect) if your prone to leave your car in gear, then my advice is don't get a remote start.

 

i never keep my car in gear in general but ive heard the same thing and had the same situation, refused to put it in for peoples cars taking out houses. some people will put them in for you, atleast near me, i think others just dont want to have it be their fault if something did happen.

also, im pretty sure viper or another company makes a special kit for manual autostart for a sequence where to you the car off and an alarm goes off that makes you put the car in neutral and pull the ebrake with some other stuff inbetween.. not 100% sure but definitely worth looking up.

i want autostart too since i always warm my car up in the morning it wont be so bad and i wont have to worry about someone stealing my car at work.

 

Going through the same process here with the 5901 but I can't seem to get the starter to work on the remote start ??

 

best buy did a viper autostart in my 04 raliiart no spare key required, but a local shop did a compustar alarm/autostart in my 06 evo 9 mr and it needed a spare key, little under 100 bucks from the stealership

 

in the couple evo's ive installed remote starts in. i have always disabled the imob in the ecu. another way to do it if u dont wanna spend 100 for another key. is you get a razor blade and cut around the outside of the key, taking the chip out. for there on you only need $1 keys. yes i know it deletes the point of having the key, but some times ppl dont wanna pay 100+ for another key on top of the price im charging them to do a remote start.

also, and 08+ evo fortin makes a bypass that works doorlock, triggers, and you dont have to give up a key.

 

not having a spare key to begin with, i also disabled the immobilizer in the ECU. No spare key required.

 

Have you had trouble installing the ignition,starter and accessory wire ?? Cuz when I did mines it gives out a buzz which doesn't sound right

 

the brain buzz's? check 12v and check ur ground at the brain, not at the connections

 

i have the viper 5901 in my 9 with the imob. disabled via ecuflash and setup in automatic mode so i dont have to go through the bs steps and if one of my kids opens door and ruins the wholel process it doesnt concern me leaving it in gear i just installed a valet button when i stop the car press the button and the 5901's turbo timer takes over runs for a minute and shuts down. So i guess my advice is use the turbo timer feature then you know its out of gear every time, if not as soon as you go to get out of car when the cars stalls you will remember.

 

I have a spare key for the Immobilizers transponder bypass n I have a Greddy turbotimer n I can leave it in auto mode so I don't have to go through the steps right?? I just have trouble connecting the red,pink, n green wires for the auto start am I missing something??

 

you guys don't need a spare key, all you need is a bypass. You wire it up and i takes the "code" a key puts out and will only activate when you remote start. Best buy will charge you if you dont bring your own alarm any where from 120-240 depends on alarm kind or if its just a remote start.
You can buy one from them and "basic" install is included but you still have to pay $30 to have the bypass installed and another $30 for a clutch bypass, plus the parts for that and thats $10.

experience: 2 years best buy installer

 

Directed Electronics (makers of Viper, Hornet, and most other nice alarms) offer a remote start module for manual transmission. If you're installer is unaware of it, then he shouldn't be touching your car in my opinion.

Another option is to use the handbrake as an input instead of the park position that would be used on an autotragic car. That way the handbrake has to be up for the remote start to work.
