A proper remote starter for a manual transmission has sensors to ensure the vehicle is in neutral with the handbrake on.

> A proper remote starter

That's the key part. Proper :)

IIRC he just bypassed the sensor that would have been for Park on an automatic, since there were no manual transmission kits for sale as they were (and I think still are) illegal for sale where I live.

He would even refuse to do this sort of thing for other people so it was pretty funny it happened to him.
