        Just remember to turn the A/C onto max before you get out of the car the previous nite, or the heat for that matter if it's the winter. Sucks when you forget to do this and than you have to still wait it out in the car!

            Even though I park my car in my garage and all. I still seem to get stuck out there in those ice and snow storms all the time, and thats the main reason I bought one of these things in the first place.

              Yeah, they are great for the heat out here to Dan. Keep that AC on, and let it cool before you enter the vehicle.

                Yeah, they do make them for stick. Just don't leave your car in gear when you get out......cause when you remote start it your car will lurch forward.

                  How do you bypass it if you don't leave in gear?
                  That would be difficult to do.

                    I'm not sure how they bypass it. Under normal circumstance you would have the car in neutral and step on the clutch to start.

                    My buddy has a fairly new 300z he put one in....it will start whenever you press the button. When he first got it, he forgot to leave the car in neutral........so when he started it from inside the bar......we saw the car jump forward and stall. It moved forward about 5-10 feet and jumped a curb, kinda scary.
