Remote start
Alrighty then,
Im going to atempt to fit a remote start next weekend and im planning in advance for it. Im looking on ebay (as cheap as possible) and i dont want the alarm just the remote start bit. Is it possible to fit the romote start bit around my current alarm system. I have '98 2.8 V6 (B5 is it?)
Im not even sure if my current alarm works and im not too bothered so if i can bypass it that would be cool. I thought there may be problems starting the car when it is locked as there may be some security code or something?
Also (im not afraid to ask stupid questions) do i still put the key in the ignition? If it turn it would it crank the starter causing issues?

RE: Remote start
It is a manual but i know the risks. I always just jump in and start my car without checking cos i know its in neutral. Mainly want it for a warm start as the winter is comming. With the handbrake on surely it would just jump and stall anyway?

RE: Remote start
Know whats funny about what you just said? I've had my car for almost a year now. I have never had to push the clutch in to start my car (a '96A4M). All my friends have to in their manual cars. i always thought that my car should have to do that, being an audi and all. does my car come like that or did someone disable sumthing?

RE: Remote start
Definatelt no clutch down start thing on mine. I din't deactivate it and there is no record of it being done. Il have a play around and see where i get with this remote start. Il get the cheapest one on ebay at about £40 with postage.
Cheers
