Car Starter for Manual Transmission – The remote car starter has been invented and is fairly well marketed, but a problem exists for standard transmission automobiles which must be started in neutral gear. If I were to use a remote car starter on my car, it would stall and possibly jolt into the car to the front or rear. However, the need to warm up my car and melt the ice on the windows before going to work/school exists for me as well. A good product idea could be to have a remote car starter that electronically switches your car into a neutral gear and applies the emergency brake.

Actually, the answer would be to alternatively preheat the engine coolant amd passanger cabin without locally burning fossil fuel, or at least without running the engine.
What I'd like to do someday is have a superinsulated storage tank for warmed coolant, and an electric pump to pump coolant between the tank and engine.
Is there a good reason you can't park the car in neutral and apply the parking brake yourself?
probably just better to have a remote electric heating element in the coolant well
wouldnt be too hard if you know what your doing... you'd have to re program your started though... hook up an actuator that depresses the clutch. once fully depressed, it closes another circut thus starting the car. then when you get in, you press the clutch pedal with ur foot, and when you put the key to the "on" position, it disengages the actuator originally depressing the clutch...
if you can make that work, more power to ya.... im still partial to leaving it in neutral when you get out with the hand break on, and useing a remote started for an automatic car
