Subject:Remote Start Hookup - '88GL w/Manual Tranny

I really hate coming off as Dumb-butt here - but how the heck do you
hook up a remote start switch on a Vanagon?? I picked one up (HF) and
instructions say hook one lead (red) to the battery! That ain't gonna
happen! Not with the starter where it is and the battery being under the
passenger seat!!

So what is the real secret?? How do I hook up the black and the red
leads so I can try and start this puppy when standing at the rear bumper?

Thanks,

John
