dose anyone know a site has instruction on how to install remote starter for a 94 integra?
thanks.

 

is it a manual or auto tranny?? you can search and find companies that make remote starters for autos but no one will straight out tell you how to install one on manual tranny acuse it can be dangerous, although it can be done

 

thanks. it's a manual.
I got all the wires figured out exept the clutch bypass. I think i will just modify my car so i can start the car without depressing the clutch with the key or remote starter.

 

it would be more advisable to get a proper unit that supports manual start. What these basically do is make you enter a safety mode before leaving the car otherwise you car will not accept the remote start command.

I personally used a relay to bypass my clutch circuit when the alarm is armed, my remote start override switch is ON, my ebrake is up and my gear is in neutral. I just feel safer this way knowing that my clutch acts like a car starting safety device the way it was meant to (in case one of your friends moves your car..etc..)

To detect gear in neutral I have a series of permanant magnets at each shift point, and a normally open magnetic reedswitch in the center, if the car is in any gear, the remote start is automatically disabled.

Consider the safety involved with every move you make...I'm not preeching, I just love my teg, and all others, and wish them no harm.

Good Luck!

P.S - Make sure to double check your heater wire on remote start! I made a wiring mistake there on mine!

 

i know. but i am the only one drives the car. maybe i will leave a sign in the stearing wheel " do not leave car in gear".
i will also make sure the hand brake is up to allow the car to start.
i had a 91 bmw 318is. and the car can start without the clutch depressed with key even it is in gear, and some other older cars are the same. i.e. 300zx.

The SAFE mode that O-RAGE-O is talking about can be like this: ( other manufactuers may vary )


The COMPUSTAR is also able to start a manual tranny vehicle safely. IF INSTALLED PROPERLY, the CompuStar will keep your engine running when you engage your Parking Brake. At that time you can turn your key off and take it out, the steering wheel is now locked. The Engine stays running because of the CompuStar. When you and your passengers exit the vehicle, and all doors are Shut, .... the CompuStar shuts down the engine. Now the car is ready to remote start next time, just as long as no one opens any door while the car is parked and engine is off. The car will be armed and locked anyway, but as a safety feature, if anyone opens any door, whether the alarm is on or off, it will NOT remotely start the next time you try. The car and your remote will respond with 3 beeps.
Who ever thought of this software and idea was THINKING. What the CompuStar is doing, is making sure you leave your car with the key in hand the engine running. BECAUSE HOW COULD YOU LEAVE THE DRIVER SEAT WITH THE CAR IN GEAR AND THE ENGINE RUNNING????? YOU CANT!!!! The system makes you prove you have engaged the Parking brake, left it in NEUTRAL, and left the car while the Engine was running. NEAT IDEA huh??

I demostrate the CompuStar in a stick shift vehicle everyday. People are amazed!! You need to see in person.

Ive seen many attempts of installers installing remote starters not intended for manual tranny vehicles......that's a dangerous lawsuit waiting to happen.

Ive also seen many CompuStar's installed on a stick shift car incorrectly. That's also dangerous and makes the CompuStar look bad. It usually comes from inexperienced installers and dealers who are not authorized.

I would say about 75% of the CompuStar's that are installed by Hand Command Inc. are in stick shift vehicles. That manual tranny capability, is one of the many features ( along with killer 2 way range) that keeps the CompuStar apart from the crowd.

 

^---- Exactly

I have to concur with hand command and rage...installing a remote start on a manual trans vehicle is complicated and possibly dangerous if done by an inexperienced installer. Rage stated the safety measures that are needed..which are well thought out...kinda a needed what if senario. I have personally have seen up close the results of a inproper installed remote start system ( I was pinned to a wall by manual trans car..which we were not informed of by the owner...later found out that was the 8th incident he had with the car ) and not to **** on your idea...just read the above posts and know what options lie ahead.

 

remote starts on a manual tranny is also illegal, lets not forget that. I used to work at best buy, and one of the installers there had a 93 z24 (manual tranny) with a remote start, he left it in gear one night out in front of one of the other installer's house when he went to leave he started the car and it went flying into the other installer's truck (caused $6000 damage to the truck, totaled the z24). He is one of the smartest people i have ever met and he still forgot to put his car in neutral one time, so i would tell you not to just bypass your clutch.

 

i would like to see one of these compustar alarms in action.. sounds like a great idea.. im an installer and ahve done whats needed to remote start my car w/ a manual tranny but this idea is great.. how do the compustar alarms go against a viper alarms specifically a viper800esp (meaning channels and security wise) i have the 800esp w/ a 551t addon remote start and other stuff on the alarm as well..

 

Most people eventually start the car in gear, even installers. Do you want your car hopping across the parking lot damaging vehicles or potentially injuring people? Get a RS designed for manuals, it's more hassle to use but the only safe way to do it. I know you think you're invicible but don't do it!

 

Actually, there is no "hassle" for the user. Like I stated above, everything is automatic once the driver engages the Emergency brake. The rest is self-explanatory as I stated. You really need to see a CompuStar in action to see what I mean.

If anything, its more of a "hassle" on the INSTALLERS part to set the CompuStar up for Manual Tranny remote start. If the installer knows what their doing and does it correctly....it shouldn't be any hassle at all.

I think the CompuStar website should have some video of a system being used in a stick shift vehicle. The website, brochures, or me explaining it to you verbally does not do justice for the CompuStar. You need to see a DEMO from an authorized dealer and see it perform.

 

I have the Comustar in my car with remote starter, works really well. For those who want a demo in the NYC area IM me... but be serious.

 

my remote starter is for a manual and it dose exactly like the one you discribed. it will only start the car if it was shut down by the remote and no one has enter the vehicle since then.
how ever. the remote system dose not has outputs to short out the clutch switch. what i did was hard wired them so the car can be started with the key without pressing the clutch. but it is dangerouse because it is still possible for some to start the car in gear with the key. I need to find a better way to bypass the clutch.
