He got ran over(not hurt), car hit the pole, and I got a good laugh!

My buddy had a Passat that was manual and he had remote start. He told us a story of one day he was getting out of the shower and told his girl tohit the remote start so the car will be warmed up for them cause they had an event to get to in winter, with formal clothes that is cold. Anyway, she also was last to drive his car the nigth before. Well she left the car in gear. She hit the button, it started, broke through the parking brake, straight into a wooden telephone pole. I still crack up thinking about that.

I have a compustart I was going to put in my 93 2.3 DD 5 spd. Has the same sequence to enable it that is mentioned above. With the parking brake, all it does is tap into the wire that turns on the light in the dash. I had to pull the switch and clean it up as the Foxes tend to corrode and not light eventually. ( I've pulled off with the **** brake on at times, LOL ) Now I have the GT I don't need it as it an auto. Going with a Viper 5704 here soon.

Go to car toys...
http://www.cartoys.com/products/prod...h_Remote_Start
This should be about 500 installed.. There is also the 570 model that does not have the HD screen remote. Has built in protection for manual cars and runs great! I have the Viper model of this... 5704. The clifford and the viper are same brand, just different badge.
Best Buy charges a TON more compared to Car Toys which includes the installation.
