are we talking about the bottom piece under the steering wheel ? if so i you can pull down on it, not too hard though those clips bend easy and when you put it back on it wont fit against the dash as well

 

that would work for me as well...

 

initialdtm, please post a how to, and what remote start you used.... I really want to do this badly, but dont want to have to pay for another alarm just to have security AND remote start, because I am sure as hell not carrying 2 remotes in my pocket.... the Audi key, and Remote is already overwhelming at times.

 

I just use my remote start fob and my valet key, I don't need to lock my glove compartment anyways.

 

Just a thought ....your talking about a 4th button on the remote, well if you don't need the "panic" button. Locate the active port on the car , re-route to the control path of the remote starter.
Just a thought...?
