  • Publication number: 20040212196
    Abstract: A vehicle movement detection circuit can be used as a remote starter circuit for a vehicle with a manual transmission. The detection circuit receives a rotation sensor output signal indicating the rotation of a wheel or a drive shaft to determine if the manual transmission is in gear when the vehicle is being started remotely. If the rotation is sensed, the remote starter circuit disables the control circuitry for the starter motor in the remote starter module. The vehicle movement detection circuit can also be used to alert a driver that a piece of equipment has not been properly stowed for travel when the driver first begins driving the vehicle. Alternatively, or in addition, the equipment not properly stowed can be automatically stowed when the driver first begins driving the vehicle.
