I have a remote starter on my car also....and it ranges about 1/8th a mile which helps a lot when I'm at class or work.
all I gotta do it push the lock and unlock buttons at the same time and it starts up for 12 minutes...the lights stay on then it shuts off if I don't put my key in by then or if i press the clutch or brake as scotty said before I put the key in.
In terms of opening the door and all that stuff...that doesnt' apply to mine. And in terms of how I have to leave the car, just as everyone else said park with E-brake up and in neutral always...it's become a habit. I just never remote start my car if someone else was driving it before me...more than likely they parked it in gear.
I've tested it in gear to see what happens...if the E-brake is up it will try and jerk forward but get held back...after three failed attempts it will just shut off.
If the ebrake is NOT up and it's started in 1st gear it will just drive...i tested in a parking lot and it continued to move slowly for about 1/8th a mile before I stopped it.
Gotta be careful.

Clifford remote start with my Intelliguard 8000
Hey Kappaball, I'm in Castro Valley too. Got a silver 99 GT vert. Would you be able to get a hold of the same model that Spreadman has, Clifford remote start with an Intelliguard 8000?
Bought my 99 from a friend who had bought it used abd it doesn't have the original system. I'd be interested in one after the new year when I get back in town. How much for one + installation.
