Yea, you are right we won't do it because of liability.

There is a way to prevent starting it in first gear...look up compustar, they make a special autostarter for manuals that determines if you are in gear or not when you turn off the car, called reservation mode, in order to be in reservation mode you must turn off the car with the parking brake engaged, in neutral, and with your foot off the brake, the car will stay on for 2 minutes then automatically turn off and when you want to auto-start the car you just press the button and your car should start. This may sound like a tedious task but it's very simple. I have the compustar installed in my 6MT and I cannot start it in gear only in neutral.

I only park with my car in gear if I'm on an incline that warrants it. Most of the time mine is left in N, and I don't even have a remote start on it!
