As far as i know, there isn't a sensor that tells if the car is in nutral.
Reason being that the gear is a manual process and not computer control or
monitored. Thats why its a no no to put a remote start in these cars. Most
after market remote starters have a nuetral safty input. This is designed for
older "automatic" cars with out nuetral safty devices ( car doesnt start
unless it's in park). This particular input could be modified to work with
the shifter. This a grounding input that allows the system to start when
it's seeing a gound. An ABS (plastic) peice can be cut out to the general
shape of the "H" patern around the stick and can have a wire ran along the
inside of the cut out (or other cunductic material). The shifter can then be
covered with a conductive material that will the be grounded. When ever the
shifter is left in gear, this will cause contact between the two cunductive
materials and send a groung through the wire around the inside of the "H"
pattern plastic. You then conect the other side of the this wire to a relay.
Pin 85= 12volt constant fused
Pin 86= wire coming from shifter (ground
activation when left in gear)
Pin 30= Ground
Pin 87a=Saftey switch from alarm( wire that allows system to star when it's
seeing a
ground)
Pin 87= Leave this pin alone (empty)
This saftey input i speak so highly of is a black whith white wire on all DEI
(viper, sidewinder, python ..ect) security systems. Some systems out there
dont have this kind of input so you migth have to rig a similar set up to the
ignition input.
Remember....remote start systems are not intended for use with stick shift
cars.. they aren't designed for it nor will anywarranties be honored if
something gose wrong.Very few places will install them in a stick shift car
and even fewer people will go through the trouble of fabricating this
elaborate set up. Be prepared to... 1.) pay alot of money..2.)leave your car
all day long.. and... 3.)live without a warranty...
If it wasn't for us techno weenies we couldn't be able to pull this off...
