alarm and auto starter...

[MHS216]

Most of the auto starters are developed for automatic gearbox cars so they don't have anything that bypasses the engaging of the clutch to start a car with a manual gearbox that stands in gear.

Yeah, so my question was/is how does the car start if theres no one to engage the clutch.

I think it doesn't start. A car with a manual gearbox that starts with the car in gear and no pressure on the accelator would make the engine to stop turning. According to my kowledge.

Yeah and thats what the original poster was talking about. How to make it work on a manual. I know my last GTI the clutch didn't need to be engaged to start the car. The MKV does.

You bypass the clutch. You simply have to figure out which wire has continuity when the clutch is depressed. Some cars like mitsubishi you simply unplug a plug that contains this wire. To answer your question it can be done on a manual. The MKV GTI is a pain in the ass so far when it comes to aftermarket alarm or remote start.
