I think you are missing the point, other manufacturers do require the parking brake to be on, but the difference is that it turns on for you during the remote start process. So if you didn't already have it on, you can still remote start the car.

That is the annoying part with this system, it won't turn on the parking brake for you, even though the parking brake is electric.

Now I could be wrong, since I never used it, but that is what the instructions make it seem like.
