I'm planning on getting a remote starter when I get my car. I was wondering if anyone can give me any info (brand, price paid) for their remote starter for your 6mt's. Thanks

My remote start isn't on a G, but I can still give you some info on them. Mine was $249. It is a compustar and I really like it. It really makes life a lot easier. I am thinking if the key has a chip in it they run more like $300. I don't think it cost any extra to get them for a manual you just can't have the car in gear when you try and start it. Either way I think they are worth the money. Good luck.

unless you are planning on doing it yourself...
most shops will not install it on a MT - bc it is illegal.
not sure if this is a NJ law or federal law. but that's what i was told when i wanted it done on my 6 speed Maxima

I've never heard anything about it being illegal. I am curious what the law is and why it's illegal.

It's not a good idea. Too much potential for the car starting and smashing whatever is located in front of it.

It has built in safety features. It uses a censore to insure that the parking brake is applied. It will also not work without being in neutral. The only down side is if you are parked on a hill you can't use the trans to help hold your car there.

I got the Viper 791XV. It's awesome!! also check out the electronics forum. there are a few threads that may help you..

I'd be afraid to do it... the E-brake on my car sucks even after the dealer adjustments.

Thanks for all the info, I found compustars homepage and sent for their list of authorized dealers and found 3 within 20mins of each other. I'm thinking of getting the new compustar remote starter that has a 6000 ft range if it is not too pricey, but I been checkin out the other websites and I think peeps have been payin over $400 jus for the RS itself, hopefully the install wont be too much.

I keep forgetting how much more things cost in the city. Out here in the country the RS is $249 which includes installation.
