Obviously you wouldn't want to remote start with it in gear, that's the fast and unhappy way to wind up on the front page.

No, it's more am issue of the remote start module not interfacing with the radiowave alarm. I can "remote start" right now by making the wires on the starter module, but the module doesn't communicate with the alarm like it should.
*Module's on the way! just confirmed this morning!
The alarm guys engineered it so it will only interface with their products. Job security. This extra module might also be where the trunk popper output would come from, since I haven't seen that yet. ..
I've always set up my remote starters to ignore the e-brake, I only hook the tach wire so it knows when the car is on and service brake to cut out.
I'm one of those dudes that always leaves it in neutral w/ e-brake on. Even on a hill! I can still hear my gym coach/driving instructor telling us about parking on a hill "up, up, and away!" So, by default then parking downhill I'll point my wheels to the curb.
my only exceptions to that rule are parking on snow/ice or extreme hills/angles (none of that in Illinois - we're called flatlanders for a reason) so really only when parking on unstable surfaces.
Lots of head scratching with this alarm, but it is so cool! Almost done! I'll post a new video when it's all set up.
Thanks,
