Manual Transmission Remote Start
Yes, a stick shift can have remote start, with a safety procedure that makes sure the car is in neutral and cannot move.

A manual car can roll if it is started in gear. That is why remote start on a manual vehicle includes a safety procedure that the driver completes when parking, so the system knows the car was left in neutral with the parking brake set.
The procedure is short, and once you have done it a few times it is second nature.
How the parking procedure works
Before you leave the vehicle, you put it in neutral, set the parking brake and let the system "reserve" remote start as you step out. If a door opens, the brake is released or the shifter moves, the engine shuts down and the reservation is cancelled.
The installer wires the sensors that make this possible and shows you each step before leaving.
A few honest limits
If you forget the procedure, remote start will not run. That is a safety feature, not a fault.
