Remote start Valet 561r install

[AlexNet0]

That's reassuring, I haven't tried yet, as I was busy today helping my brother in law buld his house, however I am reasonably comfortable with wiring, car or not, I just want to make sure I do it right. The only real question that I have without actually trying yet is that: do you need to have a bypass toggle for the clutch switch, or can you just tap into the wire to the starter (well, to the ECU to send the start signal) as your "starter wire" from the unit? Or should I completely eliminate the clutch switch altogether? I dont know if having the switch permanantly "engaged" would cause any problems.

Thanks a lot

As a rule these tend to be sold as "automatic transmissions only". Bypassing the clutch switch and then leaving the car in gear ....OOPS!
BTW, Sodium Duck rocks an auto LB as do I.....

My 09 is auto as well. There are units specifically designed for manuals or as mentioned in some other threads one can build a neutral safety switch using four springs mounted closely around the base of the shifter. The clutch switch does need to be bypassed to allow the car to start. The manual specific kits have an output that only bypasses the clutch switch in auto-start mode. To do the same with the 561r you'll need to use an auxiliary relay.
