but it IS what I want

Haven't posted on here in a while, but just noticed this thread.
You can very easily and safely put a remote starter onto a 5spd car and wire it so that it will NOT start in gear. 99% of remote start units have a hood open safety circuit that you can use. The stock manual transmission has a neutral sensor already in place (along with the reverse sensor). You can find the wire at the ECU. Wire this up to a relay and output it to the hood open safety input on the starter (you can keep the hood open feature too).
If you search on here, it's been posted many times in the past and should still be there somewhere.
Anyone who wires up a remote starter on a manual transmission Maxima and doesn't use the neutral sensor is either lazy or not very smart

hey, been doing well. I've been busy with my prelude for the past year or so. Got a B18 running in there now I've been enjoying my IS300 and will probably be selling the maxima in the very near future.

Haven't seen you in a while.

IIRC, my 791xv has a nuetral safety input that will only allow the car to start when it sees ground, just like the hood pin circuit. Instead of a relay, I just used a diode. When it's in gear, it'll send ~5v. If it's in nuetral, it'll send ground. I used the diode so that the alarm didn't see ~5v. It just wouldn't see ground when in gear.
