I love the remote start, leaving your G in gear not so much! Lesson learned....Gary

 

Lol would have been funny but not at the moment I can just imagine the look on peoples face seeing the car ghost ride itself

 

To be safe, most OG car guys will tell you to use both. I know the Ebrake is usually enough - but not always. The parking brake line sometimes loses tension and may need to be readjusted from time to time. I learned this the hard way with my Protege5 when it nearly rolled into my friend's car at a small car meet 3-4 years ago.

 

Wow lucky dude you're OP. Good thing there wasn't much damage.

 

As a safety tip, when you're installing the remote start on a manual transmission add several mercury kill switches (horizontally, laterally, etc) to shut it down if it jerks from starting in gear. Won't be able to start on a hill, but it'll never get more than a foot or two away from you.

Learned that lesson the hard way on an old Jeep Wrangler, mercury switches acting as cut offs work wonders.

 

I'm always weary of this happening one day and my car is an auto.. Lol

 

Daaang lucked out there!
