just installed automatic car starter

[t.fader]

just had my automatic car started installed, not to impressed.

to start the vehicle i must first arm the system. when parking i left off brake and pull e brake, with keys in ignition and engine started, i press a button on remote, remove keys (engine remains running) and exit vehicle. i have a 2008 aveo5 ls with no power locks, so i manually lock door, and press another button to "lock" door and car shut off. now if i go back into vehicle starter will disarm and i must repeat. if not i can then use the remote starter to start vehicle and must repeat once again when i park. as many of you know the LS is a manually transmission... there is a way around this, but if vehicle is left in gear and i start it by accident bye bye tranny. does anyone have any suggestions?

I assume you're looking for suggestions other than "buy an automatic"? If so I've got nothing that would be safe. A different brand starter might offer a different "arming" method, but you'll still need to arm it before remote starting.

Get into the habit of doing it all the time. It won't take long you'll forget about doing it all together.
