Nope, it's done. My mommy told me I'm not allowed to play with Mikey any more. |

Putting this on the list of things to do on my car. Too bad that list is long and never seems to get any shorter. I do tend to research things like this before doing them to try and find the best way to go about it. MMM's recommendations do look good.

This is the situation where every forum needs a Transporter Button that could materialize both of you on neutral turf so you could meet each other in person and deal with your differences like we used to do before "Progress" largely took the option away. Mikey & I had a difference of opinion and we met face to face before the 2015MMM; it turned out to be an Internet Misunderstanding. I was pleased to learn that he didn't have horns and a forked tail and he found out that I didn't either.... Edited by davegran, Aug 27 2015, 01:05 PM.

It's surprising sometimes how much can be lost in translation in written communication. It leaves it up to our own interpretation which we can take completely out of context... Not saying people don't poke the bear once in awhile, just maybe not as much as we think... On a side note, I have read into the remote start a little before and found the same thing as posted earlier. The story about having the car running when you exit, then the remote start shuts it off, then if any door is opened, it disables the remote start. Sounds safe but I never shut the car off in gear anyway... |

I remembered reading a thread from a while back, which I just dug up... Remote power locks + Remote Ignition; A little of the 24th century to my geo by sheananigans. They describe a neutral safety switch plate... thing... they created for their remote start. |

all you have to do is tie the clutch position switch closed, and install the starter system as usual. just dont leave your car in gear, and don't let anyone else park your car because they will leave it in gear. |

Hey, Mightymouseman, Can I just take the clutch switch out of the picture?? like unplugging it and or jumping the connector? or somehow just taking the thing offline so to speak?? I don't need it to be safe to turn the key thx in advance for your expertise T |

You could. It would be simple to unplug the 2 wires and connect them together to override the clutch switch. Lots of cars were sold without them years ago, and it wasn't a huge problem for most people. |

It is kind of interesting to read, but it really does get old. I feel like I'm right back in high school. I think you guys just need to meet and have a fight to ease all the forum tension. ![]() Edit: And video tape it!
