Remote Starter Is Best for an Audi A4 2008

07-21-201108:20 PM

So I purchased a 2006 B7 final calendar week and I was surprised it didn't come with a remote starter option on the central fog. Anyway, is information technology possible to add this role with a $10 ebay vag-com cable or is my car missing a hardware aspect? I know information technology has the premium and sport packages only non the wintertime i (which I believe came with the factory remote starter option?). I'one thousand asking for OEM options considering I don't similar the idea of having to carry around another big fob on my keychain...Does Audi offering a package, how much is information technology, and I am guessing I'll as well demand a new key play tricks (~$250), right?

Allow me know what y'all guys use, driving in Canada in the winter without letting the engine warm up a little is a bad idea.

07-21-201108:35 PM

In that location was never a remote start available from the manufacturing plant. You take to add information technology and it's pricey around chiliad$.

07-22-201105:17 AM

$1000? No way..I could purchase a decent aftermarket system for $100-200. I approximate I'll enquire them when I'one thousand at the dealership today...

Yous wont be able to buy an aftermarket i for $100-$200... What he/she was telling yous, at that place are none from the dealership. The $1k price take IS for aftermarket that will work. Merely exist ware, if your installer doesn't know what they are doing, yous will have expensive damage to your auto. Honestly... skip remote start, and salve the headache. This is not the car to do that to.

Remember your key has a bit, so the module that volition replicate the chip is $$$ so it tin can be remote started, one time you add up all the modules you demand, those signs saying remote start installed for $100 does non apply to loftier terminate cars.

07-22-201106:51 AM

I take a friend who does this for a living and although he said it wouldn't be $100-200 (because I would need additional parts like "bypassers"(?)) information technology wouldn't be much more than that. Either way, remote start is definitely a requirement for me, equally long as it doesn't cease upward costing a thou. Yes these cars are electronically complex then I will be doing some additional research, just now I am kinda pissed that Audi couldn't have thrown in a OEM module in a $45,000 car (that comes standard with many other brands at a lower cost range fifty-fifty).

07-22-201107:38 AM

He probably won't be your friend much longer if you brand him install a remote start for this auto - lol

07-22-201107:50 AM

What about an engine block heater? Those are pretty common upward there, aren't they?

07-22-201107:55 AM

I'm not sure how y'all can get around the immobilizer unless y'all go out the fundamental in the ignition. In Europe everyone uses auxiliary heaters, either electric or fuel fired.

07-22-201108:03 AM

I agree it does suck... I have remote beginning on my civic. Merely later hearing a couple horror stories, I would never let anyone attempt to put a remote outset on my A4...

Just so you know (if you don't already) if y'all have to supervene upon wiring harnesses in this car, y'all will hate life when y'all see the price.

07-22-201108:57 AM

The electronics bypass that is required is kind of talked about in THIS push button starting time thread.

"Yes, our systems require y'all to cut one of your factory chipped key. You then put the chipped cease into the immobilizer bypass module that comes with our systems this module would then be tucked away in your vehicle during install, unlike a lot of other vehicle security system manufacturers nosotros supply the featherbed module. The other end of the cut cardinal is then placed in your ignition and turned to the ACC position, this allows the steering wheel to remain unlocked for driving and too allows our organization to control the catamenia of the ACC. You would and then cap off your factory ignition and mount the push button over the cap or wherever else you may prefer to mount it. They fundamental that is in the ignition is rubber, it tin can not be used to start your vehicle because there is no scrap fastened. The immobilizer bypass module nosotros supply is the same unit that is use for a lot of remote outset security system on the market place today."

Some other thing. I will NEVER buy a vehicle that comes with previous owner/shop wiring in information technology. I will ever eventually turn out to be a headache (maybe when you lot ain it, or some owner after).

If you put in a remote starter, you volition be reducing y'all power to sell your car (now it might exist just a few of us who wouldn't buy information technology, so that small subset of people might not matter) but just something to remember about.

Actually hither, remote starter is a huge plus. When I bought my kickoff car, I merely considered ones that already had it. I hadn't wait at the B7 key fob until I was buying it at the dealership when I realizing there was no button for information technology. Still surprised it doesn't come with it and Audi could have saved u.s. all the trouble and included it (or even added it to the winter package). I will still get my buddy to accept a look at it, and worst comes to worst I'll have to add another tab to my keychain (if its a reasonable price and if hes done it before).

What problem? The heated seats in these cars piece of work pretty quick and once you outset driving it doesn't take long for the heat to kicking in at max heat powaaaa.
Out of curiosity, why is remote start such an important part to y'all?

07-22-201104:55 PM

Remote starts are very important if you live close to piece of work, and you have cold winters. You need to properly warm upwardly the car, and a 1-2 mile commute wont cutting it. I agree with the OP that it is very important to have, but differ on wanting to add information technology to this motorcar. I just can't afford to supercede stuff if the shop eff'south up, and I had a problem with an alarm organization that came with a used jeep I had. I had to pay a shop to remove information technology, and it got $$$ quick, equally information technology immobilized the jeep. Recall towing, and shop hours.

It gets down to -40c here (-40f) and although I piece of work atleast 20-30min drive from my work, we all know it is not practiced to drive right away on a cold engine. Its best to allow it warm up a little (for 2-3min) before moving but how often will I practise that especially since my auto will exist outside and I will be freezing cold? On my other auto, I'd start it close to the window, I become in information technology every bit the engine has warmed upward slightly higher up completely common cold and in one case I start moving it warmed upwards to idle and was already blowing warm air for me.

07-22-201106:31 PM

$yard!???? I have the highest level viper security + car start and information technology wasn't even $900!

07-22-201107:53 PM

I think it'due south prophylactic to say that motorcar start is the most overrated feature on a machine, and I live in IA which has it'southward fair share of horrible winters. Non to mention, I run into entirely too many people using information technology during the summer at work just to wait cool!

Seems to exist a ton of work to go it after market though, interested in what your "buddy" has to say well-nigh it.

I have a viper two way remote starter had it for 2 years now no problems got information technology as a gift just cost me $300cdn to install it :) Since my automobile is parked at work for 12hrs and when I get information technology I like the car to exist warm! I know I don't leave it idiling likewise long

Actually it's the opposite with these cars the manufacturer suggests the y'all DON'T warm up the car and that you can bulldoze it right away....... Something about letting it warm up that contributed to the carbo0n build up and something else that I can't retrieve....

I let mine atleast let it do it's ain intital high rev we when it goes back down to normal rpm's I then become on my way...

Where are you lot getting this from?.

Read the manual. Oh wait, what's that?! Good call Vizi, I completely forgot near that. That was something that stood out to me when I read through it.

07-23-201108:06 AM

Yea what vizi said is completely true. Its in the manual. I've lived in common cold climates throughout the life of my A4; rocky mountains, mode upstate NY, VT. I have learned that audi does non want you lot to let the car idle to warm up every bit it is not good for this engine. Instead y'all are supposed to just start driving and not vanquish on it until it is warmed upwardly. I'll effort to find it in the transmission but its worth taking a look yourself

07-23-201108:09 AM

I am almost l pages in, I guess I hadn't gotten to that part nevertheless. I approximate if its actually better not to let it warm upwardly before driving then never mind, I'll survive if information technology helps prolong the life of the motor

no remote kickoff comes from audi, all sublet-ed out to a stereo shop. you tin can definitely put one in our cars, (i put mine in) but you are going to pay. the bypass modules alone are big money, plus the remote outset. dont buy some shitbox remote first off ebay, you dont have a 92 honda civic. make certain the installer knows whats he/shes doing. and is not a hack. (i accept a compustar ii way outset. 3000ft range) and why do you want the b7 key fob to work? its like 20 ft of range, y'all might besides get start it with the key...

07-23-201109:39 AM

it should be nether the section "vehicle operation". This thread (http://forums.audiworld.com/archive/...t-2669409.html) although old has a few practiced points.

one being when you open the driver door the fuel pump runs, it would take a lot to maintain this part with remote start

but read that thread it covers the basics of your situation

I don't demand range, 20ft (through a window) is more than plenty. I volition still ask my friend about it and post back (if hes done information technology earlier and how it all works) simply it is kinda pointless to me now if Audi recommends I don't warm upward the engine before driving it as that was the reason I was researching this in the first place.

07-23-201106:33 PM

Was it for carbon buildup or carbon emissions that they don't desire you lot to idle?

Essentionally the carbon buildup IS from the emissions.

Good question, from folio 257:

"-Do not warm upwards the vehicle by letting the engine run at idle

-It takes a long time for the engine to warm upward fully when it is running at idle. However, wear and noxious emissions are especially high when the engine is warming upward. Y'all should drive away as soon as you lot outset the engine and avoid running at high RPM's while the engine is nonetheless warming upward"

I wonder what they hateful by "vesture"....

-Information technology takes a long fourth dimension for the engine to warm up fully when it is running at idle. However, wear and noxious emissions are especially high when the engine is warming up. Yous should drive away as soon as you starting time the engine and avert running at loftier RPM's while the engine is still warming up"

I wonder what they mean by "article of clothing"....

If I call back someone said that theses engines don't menstruation a sufficient amount of oil at idle that's where the increased "vesture" comes from.
