on the Z at least, there are sensors telling which gear you're in so that can be used with a neutral safety switch, but i still doubt a dealer or shop will do it for you.
I understand the implications of trying to start a car in gear with a remote starter, but from what I can understand from the wiring schematics, there are enough "safety's" to avoid this. IE: neutral position sensor, handbrake sensor....
From the websites I have seen, it is not impossible, merely somewhat convoluted in the implementation. Just hoping someone would have had this done already. In Canada, remote starts are necessary evils for cars driven year round.
Prostart seems to indicate that it IS possible with the existing wiring in the 2009 and 2010 models. This would be the same configuration as the manual tranny G37 too.
