When you remote start the vehicle, does the steering wheel lock disengage? Or does it only disengage when you turn the key?

 

Your steering wheel is still locked. It will unlock once you turn your key in the ignition. If you are worried about somebody taking off with your car while it has been remote started, it is not going to happened. The remote starter is tied to your brake. Once the brake pedal is pushed down, it will shut off. You need to push the brake pedal down to shift it into D position.

Exactly

 

so the wheel will stay locked and wont unlock untill the key is turned correct?

 

Yes the steering wheel remain locked until you put the key in.

Even if they did break the steering wheel lock, they will not be going too far.

 

Cool, sounds good! Thanks

 

all remote starts have a brake wire that should be hooked up. if they push the brake which most people do the car will shut off. also remember if u dont lock the wheel if they tried to drive the lock will engage.

Just a bit of info, unless you are planning on doing the alarm install yourself, you should maybe do some research about the costs of doing a RS install on a manual transmission. A lot of shops wont bother with it, and some will make you sign a waiver that they are in no way responsible if you accidentally RS the car and drive over someone.

I didnt my own alarm install and my alarm is designed for manual starting and you have tell it to go into RS mode, get out of the car with it running (remotely, you take the keys out), and then shut the door. The car then shuts off and "knows" its not in gear. If you for any reason unarm the alarm or the alarm goes off, it wont let you RS the car.
