Remote Start on MS6

[sun1004]

Is it true that you get remote start on the Mazdaspeed6? I thought you can't get remote start on a manual transmission. (uhm) Can anyone with MS6 confirm this? (attn)

Sure you can, as long as it's not in gear.


Edit: Sorry I can't give you a straight answer, but look at Rainman's MS6 thread, you might find the info there. Welcome to the forums btw.

i have a remote start in my 5spd P5
it has a wire that you connect to the transmission that gives a ground to the unit when the car is in gear so it won't start.
just make sure that wire is SOLDERED to the trans sense wire!

yes, the mazdaspeed6 grand touring has the optional remote keyless entry and start. it sounds like a weird idea for a manual car to have it, but there's basically a sensor that tells the alarm unit if the car is in gear. if it's not, then you can wire it to remotely start the car

It's not a remote start, it's just keyless. You DO have to be IN THE CAR to start it. But you don't need a key. You just have to have this thing somewhere in the car. I am not sure if you can get the option to remote start. The only option I had was to have the auto lock feature enabled (which locks the doors 3 seconds after the fob is out of the 2 meter range of the car)

it would be way to complicated to add remote start to car with this type of setup. At least I would think so.

Yeah just trying to get remote start on the pats w/o losing a key is already fun. Remember mazda loves encription codes so who knows what they have in store for the 1st shop who decides to do it. That's if they aren't one of those "we don't do mtx remote start" installs. I beleve it will be like navi where it's more hands on to instal "after the fact".

leave the fob in the car and disable the starter button (if thats how it works, i dont know exact specifications, but im assuming that would be something you could do. i dont know how easy it would make it to steal though; probably very.).

how many cards do you get and how much to replace? remember the speed mx-5 fob was like $195 and $15 for key blank. I can only imaginge the wait in reordering one.

 

[FX-MAN]

It comes with 2 of them. I am not sure what replacement cost would be
