anything is possible, I saw a custom nova, 427 4 spd that had an electronic key pad that opened the doors either or both, and start with the electronic key, also opened the hood and trunk, and shut down. ( did not close anything ) hood was partial hydralic. Only draw back was if the car was left in gear, it would try to move the car. Had to park it with brakes on and in neutral.

You might want to consider a Compustar alarm system. I'm not sure if there aremany other alarm systems that are manual transmission compatable. Iknow this brandworks with manual transmissions and hasa lot ofcool features. The remote start feature will not work unless you have the car in nutral and the e-break engaged. My brother hasa compustarin his98 Nissan Altima(manual transmission)and itworks perfectly.But, I'm fairly sure that the car must have power locks in order for the keyless entry feature to work.

This will give you a better idea of price and features. You can also talk to someone who sells/installs car alarm systems:

yea i think its possible, but like acmech52 said it prob have to be in neutral and with the emergency brake on. The system to do it might be pricey though. I know a few good websites that might help you, the best one is http://www.topspeed.com. They do reviews on alarms and stuff for the cars, you never know it could help you in picking out one.
