Do they have one that will depress the clutch while it attempts to
start my car?

They do make them *for standard shift and the transmission has to be in

for sure. If you depress the clutch for other reasons, it will work.

Most have us have been taught to depress the clutch when starting a car. Our
truck at work, a Mitsubishi-Fuso, has the have the clutch out to start it..


My Toyota won't start unless the clutch is depressed. There's a
saftey interlock.
I wonder if the remote start devices bypass it somehow.

In any event, I park it in the garage at night, so I'm not strongly
motivated
for remote start. Plus, I don't really care whether I get into a warm
car or not.
