I'm trying to find out who to contact, doesn't look like there's much manufacturer info on that page, unless i'm just blind (entirely possible). I guess i'll start in the questions section

That's nice.
Has anyone heard anything about them? The other system seemed to have some initial problems. Not certain they ever worked them out entirely.

Found out the system does work with a manual transmission, but it doesn't have a failsafe like my Viper kit does, it's pretty much just don't Park the car in gear and always use the handbrake, which I normally do regardless unless I'm on a steep incline

Ordered the kit. Let's see how it is

Got the kit in the mail today and got to work. Definitely not a plug and play kit, but also not as intimidating as other remote starts as well. Kit comes with an antenna-style bypass where you have to sacrifice a key (i have four, so no loss, but the recall key comes in handy here).

Wired up the 12v, ignition, starter, and ground harness entirely. Proceeded to wire up the bypass according to instructions. Before I moved forward with the door lock/unlock wires, trunk, etc, I wired the brake status wire so the kit would see the brake light, and tried to start the car. No dice. Went into both acc and ignition (on) modes, but everytime it went to start the car, all the electronics blacked out for a few seconds as normal, but the starter doesn't engage. Scratching my head trying to figure out why this thing doesn't wanna respond to the button. Smells like bypass issues, but I did everything as per instructions? If anyone is good with this stuff, chime in. Car still key-starts, so i'm definitely thinking that something is up with that bypass.

What brand did you go with?

The kit came with an Omega PASS-4 bypass module. I also have an FLCAN from flashlogic on hand, may try to use that

Won't be able to work with installing it till Sunday, but I came across a few ideas:

My old flashlogic FLCAN has no problem talking to the car via canbus. In short, if I tap two wires, I'll save myself that much trouble trying to reach up to the bcm since the FLCAN gives me every wire I'd need (door status, lock/unlock, trunk release, etc) through the canbus, and I already have those leads tapped from my first installation. Not to mention, I can eliminate that other bypass that came with the new kit and gain a key back.

In terms of a clutch bypass (i rarely Park in gear, and when I do, it's on a hill and I simply won't remote start the car/I'll leave it in high gear to stall it instantly), I figure that if I use a relay, use the hot as the starter output to trigger a ground connection to the clutch pedal position wire upon startup, I should be good. In theory it sounds like everything can work, just have to put it to test. Will post back when I get the chance to work on it.

Side note, tips on getting wires from the door to the cabin? Need to figure out how to run those two wires from the new door handle to the rest of the kit

On top of getting those two wires from the driver door handle into the cabin, any tips on removing the column lock? Kit's instructions say take a key, cut it down to just being big enough to stick out of the cylinder, and leave it in accessory... Key won't start the car since it doesnt have the chip, but is there a better way? Feel like this is a surefire way to kill the car battery unless the system knows to knock out the accessory mode somehow, which according to the wiring, i doubt it does

[spadz93]

Bump?

[spadz93]

If nobody's gonna help then I'm probably gonna scrap this or have a shop install it. Thing doesn't have a tach sense or a "ground when running" wire, so remote start doesn't work
