Hi,

I have a few questions about installing a push start system.
1. Can I turn the car on with the remote start? It's a manual, but I heard if you leave it in neutral, it will start. But I'm sure that's for newer cars since my car vehicle above is a 2005.
2. Will it require me splicing my kit with the OBD2 Reader?
3. It says it has oil pump detection, what does that mean?
4. It also says it has a feature where it will turn on the A/C, but my A/C system uses knobs to turn the blower on, and a button to turn on the A/C. Will it work? (First image for reference)
5. What does central automation lock mean?

I know these are a lot of questions, but please bare with me. Thank you.

I don't think you can install a remote start on a manual transmission car, it's too dangerous.

If the engine starts and the car is in gear it will take off on its own, that's why they don't put remote starts in manual transmission vehicles.
