I haven't had any experiences with remote starters - not too sure how it would work on a manual transmission car, but I'm surprised that the remote starters out there won't work with the Genesis. I'd do some more research and see what you can find. The big names in alarms/starters seem to be Compustar and Viper - hopefully they will have something that works.
Keep us posted on how it goes  |
theres ones specifically made to work on a manual car. it checks to see if the car is in neutral first before it would autostart the car.

lojack is really good for recovering your car and also you usually get a discount from your insurance company for using this. it doesnt help prevent the car from getting stolen though.
