New Mod: Remote Start/Keyless on Manual Transmission
Just purchased a kit on Ebay. I have had an Ebay keyless system for ever, and everything has worked perfectly. It's time to change things up a little bit. I just ordered the Remote Start/Keyless system for a manual transmission, it works a little funky, but you can read that on the Ebay auction site. I will be updating this thread as to how involved it is (since I ordered a T harness for the starter, it shouldn't be too bad), and some pictures as soon as I receive the kit. If you have a manual, and you want keyless, subscribe to this thread now! : )

Since my truck is manual, the system is designed to work with that. Before you cut the truck off, you put it in neutral, press the emergency brake, then press the regular brake and let off, and then press the start button on the remote. The lights will flash showing that it is in reservation mode. You then turn the key to off (the truck automatically stays running) and then you get out and when you close the door the truck turns off. So it knows you were out of the vehicle, yet it was in neutral. Then you can remote start it anywhere.

take it from an installer. only buy a directed electronics product, viper,python,avital,hornet,clifford,valet, and they have more, they are the best in the remote starts.keyless, and alarms. compustar also makes a solid unit. have it professionally installed becasue you need to know what your doing as if you dont you can wreck your wiring, fry you computer. if anyone in the lansing michigan area wants one installed i do install them, alarms, and stereos also, just shoot me a pm. my remote start took me about 6 hours to do but i also hide all my wires so you cant see them, normally they take 2.5-4hours. my first took me 9 hours.

I did my keyless entry myself, actuators, module, wires, lights, everything! Best of all, I only paid 40 bucks for it. It has lasted 2 years, and would last plenty more, I just want a remote start. The kit just came in, and little did I know, I don't need the PATS bypass. Bob has just informed me, that Ford, discontinued the PATS system in 05 Rangers ONLY! HA! Just sucks that I paid 35 bucks for a module I don't need. Anyone looking for one? I will proceed with the install very soon. I don't have to cut any wires in the factory harness because of the T harness that was recommended with the kit! So go pay hundreds of dollars for someone to install you a Viper, I will save those hundreds, and do it myself, so that I know it works! Good luck to everyone! I will be updating soon!
