I'm just curious - I'm not sure I'd ever put a starter on an E9x, let alone on a manual... but do you install starters on manual transmission cars, and if so, how are they designed these days to prevent you from starting the car in gear?

Not to completely thread-jack, but I imagine others who may be considering a starter would be interested in hearing this as well.

Thanks in any event.

Yes I install on both Auto and Manual vehicles. For manual transmission cars, I only use python remote starters. These systems require a sequence of events that must happen to let the system know the car is out of gear. If the driver does not perform these procedures before exiting the vehicle then the system will not remote start.
Here is the procedure.

1. While the vehicle is running, put the transmission in neutral.

2. Press the vehicle’s foot brake.

3. Apply the emergency brake.

4. Release the vehicle’s foot brake.
Note: Pressing the brake again after this step will disable the remote start feature.

5. Using the remote control, activate the remote start within 15 seconds. The parking lights flash 5-times confirming that the remote start is active.

6. If the parking lights do not flash 5 times, you have not entered manual transmission mode and will need to repeat steps 1 thru 5.

7. Turn Off the ignition (the car should stay running when key is turned Off).

8. Exit the vehicle.

9. Lock the doors with the remote. (the vehicle should shut Off when locking the system).

10.You can now remote start the vehicle. If a door is opened before the next remote start activation, the system will not remote start.

I'm located in Rochester, NY. Are there any shops here that you know of that will install a remote start on a 2008 BMW 328xi? I have been told by the BMW dealerships and others that they would not recommend it! Does that have anything to do with the fact that I have Comfort Access Keyless Entry!
Thank You!
