Does the vehicle have to be in neutral for it to start? and if you try to start it while it's in gear...it just won't.....Or will it be wired up so that it can start in gear?

Every manual transmission starter currently on the market will technically start when the vehicle is in gear, there is no direct way for the starter to know whether the car is in neutral or not. If you don't beleive me do the "ready mode" and leave the window down. Once the car is ready to be started, reach in the window and put the car in gear, now try remote starting it, I am not responsible for what happens next. That is why they all say "do not install on Jeeps and convertables."

The remote start Iam putting on my car right now is for use with standard vehicles....

There is a negative input for the parking break switch.... so if the parking break aint on, the car won't start.....

even with the park brake on, most cars will still move when cranking. I had a "manual" safe starter fail and try to start in gear with the ebrake on, it jumped a sidewalk and hit a building. Ever hear of On Start? they have gone out of business about 4 times now.

Clutch safety switch gets bypassed temporarily in that case. IMO, remote starters in standards is retarded. It doesn't seem worth it to go through the 1293 steps to put the car in "ready" mode when it would probably take less time to walk out to your car in the morning and start it with the key. That, and the liabilty issues if something goes wrong. My dad used to own an '86 Mustang that would actually start in gear. I don't know too many shops around here that still do manuals...
