Do you have a manual tranny? No shops in my area will do it! GRRR. How did you get it done?

Anyone in Portland or Seattle wanna hook me up? My alarm has the module and all, just need to connect brake, clutch and all that **** up.

Thanks

 

CarToys should do it for you. I think they make you sign a waiver and then they do it.

 

They won't. I just had them install my Clifford Solaris today. They said they wouldn't do it, period.

 

No shop will do it because of the potential 3rd party liability to them if your car ever injures someone. If this type of install is prohibited by law in your area, the waiver will not matter and they can still be sued. A goldmine for the personal injury lawyer and certain death to any shop because they do not carry insurance for these things. So pretty much no installer with any intelligence will do it. Best bet is to DIY or find a friend who will help you.

edit: take this advice from me, a law student; the potential liability to you is not worth the risk of installing it if you ever park it in a populated area. So install at your own risk!

I worked at a CarToys in Dallas and we would make the customer sign a waiver. I guess they don't in other places.

 

Mine was on it when I bought the car. I had no idea it was illegal in some areas.

 

It's not worth it anyway. I've never seen one installed, but apparently, you have to push all this stuff before you leave the car. And if you go back to the car unlock it to get something inside, it's gonna mess up and not going to work.If you want you manual trannied car warm and toasty inside during the winter get a block heater.

 

I have one installed on my 99 gsr and it is virtually impossible to start the car in gear works great though. Tweeter installed mine

 

Ya it has all the security features so you cant' start it in gear.

I go to school in North Dakota, so we see highs of 10 degress and lows of -60. And I live in the dorms so I got no electricity for a engine block heater. Remote start is a best option for me.

 

Yup, I have one and it would be very difficult to leave your car in gear when the remote starter is on. My car keeps running even without the keys as long as the e-brake is on. It turns off automatically when I close my door. Otherwise, the remote starter is deactivated. Fairly safe IMO.

I never knew it was illegal in some areas...

 

All I have to do is push button 1, pull the key out (car still runs), lock the doors and then shut off the car with the remote. You do have to have the e-brake on and the car out of gear obviously. It is a pain in the *** sometimes because it resets if you unlock the door again.

 

I'm very curious, do you have a 95 4dr green GSR ? no chrome tip on the muffler ? car came from NJ ? baige interior with leather ?

that would be cool if you do cause thats my old GSR !!!

I had the remote start installed and just signed a waiver.

Nope, its a 2 door, and no leather, stock when I got it. Would'nt that be something else if it was your car though! As far as I know, the original owner was from Quebec.

 

I have it. Its made my Clifford.
