Default remote start question

I have an 03 audi a4 1.8t with a stock alarm system, that works really well. I don't wnat to lose the alarm system and don't wnat to put a new one in but i want a remote start. I know where i can get just a remote start with nothing else, but i was wondering if it would be hard for me to install myself..can someone let me know if they have done it and if it was hard...thanks

have u ever installed a remote start??? if you didnt please do not touch the car it is not an easy car for newbies to do. i have a clifford alarm system in mine and the guy who did it from me took 5 hours to do and it came out perfect. I had it done in the 6th avenue in jersey city new jersey

with an audi you will need an anti-theft bypass module and audi are not the easyest to install alarms or remote starts on now if you where talking about a 95 civic those are super simple cars to do but an audi my advise is pay a pro to do it

I installed one on my moms Windstar way back in the day and it took me almost four hours. I swear I'll never do one of those again in my whole life!
