I'd love remote start on the manual, but that would mean trusting the electric parking brake completely. Not sure I would.

Aren't current remote start systems relying on the car being in Park? I mean, if it flakes out and some dude leaves his car in Drive (can you even do that?), then later starts it remotely (the system thinks its in Park)...bye bye??
There are ways to ensure parking brake is engaged and functional...at least one I can think of.
