i do know of a guy here in the bay area that knows how to do the remote start on a man. tran., it is possible
There is a sensor that tells the engine control module if the truck is in neutral and/or park that is part of the starting circuitry.How would a system like this know that the trans is in fact in neutral?
The question was in reference to a manual trans. I can find neutral on my stick shift, but I can't seem to find park... :wiggle:There is a sensor that tells the engine control module if the truck is in neutral and/or park that is part of the starting circuitry.
I should have been more clear, on the auto trans the system can detect the position of the shifter. On the manual trans, is there anything to detect shifter position? Likely not.There is a sensor that tells the engine control module if the truck is in neutral and/or park that is part of the starting circuitry.
Unfortunately no. The auto trans has a P/N switch, and the manual trans has just the clutch switch.I should have been more clear, on the auto trans the system can detect the position of the shifter. On the manual trans, is there anything to detect shifter position? Likely not.

Correct. I went a crosseyed chasing the colored lines around wiring diagram.Unfortunately no. The auto trans has a P/N switch, and the manual trans has just the clutch switch.
Look for a shop (Best Buy sell and install it for you) that can a install the Viper Alarm. I have the Viper 5901 in my corolla 2010. Probably you will need to use a transponder bypass the factory anti-theft system with something like thisI'm way up here in the north and nearly all vehicles have remote starts due to the cold in the winter. I asked a few stores and they've said they can't do the remote starter on my 08 Tacoma because I have a manual tranny and it's a liability issue.
I find it hard to believe that in 2010 we haven't found a fix for that old problem, and I also find it hard to believe that with all the trucks up north, NOBODY has a manual transmission.
I've tried to point out to the shops that I have a "clutch override start" button, and that perhaps they would simply need to tie into that. But I get a deer-in-the-headlights look (again, I find it hard to believe the Tacoma is the only vehicle in existence with a clutch override...).
So the question stands...anybody have a remote start system on their manual tranny Tacoma?
