He is referring to accidentally leaving the car in gear when the car is trying to start.

This has happend to my buddy, he also had to replace his garage door ?

There’s a dance you have to do with the remote start which makes this impossible. The only way to have the car start in gear is by disabling all the safeguards that are required for the installation of the remote start.

The dance involves leaving the car running when you exit the vehicle. It shuts off when you leave. If you enter the vehicle again (open doors or hatch), remote start is disabled (until you do the dance again). With this setup it is impossible to start the car in gear unless you exit the car running with it in gear (in which case you’d have other issues).

I agree, but this used to happen back in the day early 2000s with older alarms/starters.

This is why they came out with the pedal dance procedure

My understanding is that all of the currently available aftermarket systems require you to turn the car off and restart it to "take over" and drive away after a remote start. (same for the Si) That was a dealbreaker for me.

Nope
My system is Fortin/Viper
With a relay to manage bypass rev match on startup



My ready mode process is

1. Put it in neutral
2. Foot on the brake
3. Apply parking brake
4. Get out

My takeover process is:

1. Get in the car
2. Press the star/on button
3. Hit the brake
4. Drive

Please note that the post you are quoting is nearly 3 years old. Hopefully they have made some advancements in that time.

They did I believe viper has a module that does that relay in it.
There’s a module and the remote start system. At the time fortin was the only one around that didn’t have a funky readymode and had takeover.
Also. It’s a civicx Forum they’re all 3 years old! Haha
