I know this has nothing to do with auidio/video, but I was wondering if anyone knows how to bypass the clutch in a 2006. I looked everywhere and cannot find a wire diagram. We normally have them at work. Unfortunately I do not know how or what to test for. Anyway, i got the alarm installed, but haven't gotten the remote start to work. Any help from you tekkies would be greatly appreciated...

You can...but....
It kills the warranty, and if you park your car without the break on, and remote crank it on a hill, guess what...bye bye new 06.
Luckily where i live in louisiana, there is no such thing as a hill. But they will keep bucking forward if you leave it in gear. I didn't think it would void the warranty though.
what kind of starter do you have? there is a way to make your own neutral safety switch...not too hard...and also some of the newer cars have a wire at the ecu or pcm that will basically act like a neutral safety wire... the subaru wrx for example had a wire that would read ground when the car was in neutral but switch when ever you put it into any gear (it might have read 12v and switched to ground....i don't remember) but you used that for neutral safety and your car wouldn't start when left in gear...i had 2 wrx's and it worked on both...
the method of making your own involves locating some magnetic switches like you can find at radioshack on your shifter....its a pain to align but once you get it they work beautifully!

oops i forgot about clutch type....i believe there are currently 4 different types....i'd do some research on clutch types and you should locate diagrams showing the different types and how to test them....i have an old as! autocommand wiring book that shows them....if you can't find info let me know and i'll try to get you the info!

well, i have an idea of how to do it, but i was hoping someone could spell it out for me. The clutch is going to read 12 volts when pressed down and negative when up. I know i will have to use a relay between the clutch and the neutral safety switch. Thing is i've never tried to do it before, and was hoping someone on here has. I hate learning on my own car. It's much better to learn on stranger's cars. lol
I put one one my ranger years ago by using a safety switch that unfortunatly isn't made anymore. As for bypassing the clutch I hit the starter selinoid(sp?). It was easy to do on my ranger as it was on the drivers fender, I am not sure where it is in the mustang.

i don't know about on the mustang but on most 5 speeds the is still a switch somethere under the clutch. i will look tomorrow and let you know. if there is a switch you can just duct tape it so that that the contacts are made.

Dude, duct tape has NO use in car audio........... And by doing that you would also make your cruise control inoperable. I tried to bypass the clutch by going to the clutch switch as well on my ranger but had no success, just go to the selenoid and do not take any audio or car advise that involves duct tape and can we please stop giving advise on how to rig yer car with duct tape??????????

I spoke to the folks at directed electronics (Viper car alarms) they said that there is a module that they can install to do a manual transmission remote start, they don't recommend it but they do have one. just give them a call and ask them which one.

They don't recommend it because people leave their cars in gear when they park. Theres no more risk in putting one on a manual than on an automatic. Other than leaving it in gear, and your E-Brake failing out.

If its a directed electronics part its got to be a safer unit then just tying into the p brake. My guess it works more like the clifford. The reason they dont recommend it is because if your alarm is triggered the remote start defaults to no start mode. Again this is all speculation. If someone can find me a little info on the DEI part ill help you with more definate answers.

I have a local installer that suggested I add remote start to my '06 GT Vert (5spd manual), to which I immediately replied... it's a manual.
He told me they have a unit made for manuals. When you shut off the engine it watches for whether you're in neutral or not, and only allows remote start if you shut down properly. For more info, call Infinity Motorsports, Glen Burnie, MD - (410) 590-4225

clifford makes something similar as well. When you park the car, you take the car out of gear and activate the remote start and pull the keys out. The remote start keeps the car running until you get out and arm the alarm. As long as you don't open the door before disarming the alarm, it will allow the car to start since it knows it is still not in gear.

I don't know if its the same with the new mustangs, just got mine today, but I a remote start in my last car (an '00 celica stick) and the only thing you have to do is:
1) look behind the clutch pedal, there should be a momentary switch that is depressed when the clutch is pushed down 2) there is a wire harness coming out of that switch, take the harness off of the switch. 3) the harness should have two wires, attach them together and the car will start without having to push the clutch.
Clifford, viper, etc. its the same company I believe now, its all directed....

Ok, i have found the info on the different clutch types, but I do not know the clutch type on the 05/06. I have talked to an installer at another local shop and he said that there is indeed a wire at the ecm that registers when the car is in neutral. (So no accidental starts when in gear) Now if i could only find someone that works at a ford dealership to find a diagram or someting showing which wire this is. My friend said that would be the tricky part, but he has given me a name of a guy at a local ford dealer to see if he can help, but said it is a long shot. Any help?
I know this has nothing to do with auidio/video, but I was wondering if anyone knows how to bypass the clutch in a 2006. I looked everywhere and cannot find a wire diagram.

You can put it on there no problem, well when I say you i mean it can be done. You can put sensors on the stick so that it wont start in any gears. I have done this and its a timely process, but very worth it. That way it will not start unless it is in Neutal You wont need to bypass the clutch, a relay will do everything you need!
