If the doors are ever opened or unlocked before the remote start is pressed, or the car is not parked in that sequence, the remote start will not work.

This ensures the car remains in neutral and the parking brake engaged when the remote start is pressed.

Obviously it is felt that that is way too fussy of a procedure and that people would either circumvent it or complain about their remote start not functioning.

I wouldn't count on seeing any OE manual-transmission remote start options until manual transmissions start getting park sprags (like automatics have had for decades).

I touched my Ebrake the other day when reaching for the mode button. Good to know it's to be avoided.

FYI, when I was considering the BMW 4 Series convertibles I learned they don't offer remote start in any of them, MT or AT.
