There are definitely remote starters that works for manual transmission. My brother has one for his Honda. It detects whether its in gear. It also doesn't crank the starter for more time than it needs. (I've watched it work many times). It also starts from 2 blocks away with 2-way radio transmission. Its done quite often actually. My question is: Has anyone done it in their recent Saab, with specific question to disabling the security features.. (I.e. was is easy/expensive?) I think the fact that the car is a Saab is security enough not to require a immobilizer.
