Hi it is a nice feature on the 2024 cars. I have the 2024 Audi A8 used the phone software to turn on and off on remote start after using the remote start to turn on twice and turn off twice wont allow me to use the remote start to start the engine. says "maximum number of remote starts reached"
This kit isn’t made by Audi - this is an after market kit and you have to give up or buy a key fob that is installed in the car for this to work. No thanks.
@@ddjslhomebase243 it says idatastart on the card for costumer care and only takes about 3 hrs for install. Find a local car audio shop and ask that’s where i did mine, working really good so far.
Just purchased an Audi A5 Sportback and remote start is just something I "assumed" it had. Coming from a BMW, it had this feature, along with pre-climatization, etc. I will definitely be going back to BMW after I sell it. Audi's are beautiful cars, but lack simplicity with app integration. Apple CarPlay keeps disconnecting, garage door doesn't always open, Audi Connect doesn't always "connect..." I digress.
@@Mike-dd8bd Agree 100%. There were so many features that just came "included" on my BMW. For instance, when my daughter is driving my car, the Audi app will not allow me to check the location until it is parked. Not only could I do this anytime with the BMW app, I could start the car from the app, flash the headlights, honk the horn, etc. Also loved the fact that I had a key card that I could use to start the engine, as well as lock/unlock. Going with an Audi has made me miss the luxuries and comforts of the BMW.
I completely agree with all you guys are saying My mustang Gt has all that features and my Audi 2022 it is so boring , beautiful but boring car Apple car disconnects all time my next car will be and BMW or a Raptor truck , I’m from TX
Kind of ironic coming across this comment. I recently purchased a 2023 Audi RSQ8 with an "ABT" upgrade package. In the same week I picked up a 2023 BMW XM and 2023 BMW 760i xdrive. This is my first Audi. I have learned that Audi is significantly lesser in quality and technology but great at marketing. The RSQ8 is a massive disappointment. It doesn't deliver an even power drive. It feels extremely slow on throttle response. The "Auto Engine" on/off feels violently abrupt in the Audi compared to the BMWs literally unnoticeable on/off transition...and Audi's stupid Auto engine on/off system LOCKS THE DRIVING WHEEL each time...WTF. My Audi infotainment/stereo system disconnects from bluetooth AND WIRED connection, every..single...drive. 100% on every single drive. The Audi app handshake/handoff is extremely unreliable and disconnects repeatedly every single drive. I believe this is due to the excellent looking and abundant usage but radio signal blocking carbon fiber. Dealership says I must be driving through a bad area... every time apparently. Riiiiight. The Heads Up Display in the Audi is 60% smaller and 500% less cooler than the HUD in the BMW's. The HUD in both BMWs animate and have different fonts and graphical elements per each driving mode, like AIRPLANE WINGS for racing mode, the entire car cabin turns red with LEDs and the HUD moves around when you turn. Hans Zimmer designed entry sound for the BMW, which is a loud and clear welcoming sound and the LEDs spill light across the cabin as you enter the vehicle. The entry sound to the Audi is like windows 95 and improperly timed and too quiet. I paid relatively close to the same for the RSQ8 and the BMW XM, but the 760i was significantly less than the ABT RSQ8 and in my opinion the BMW 760i is a massively better (and more luxurious) experience and overall vehicle. Dealership experience was also noticeably different. Audi charged me $500+ for rubber RSQ8 floor mats. When I mentioned I wanted them to BMW, they put them in both vehicles FOR FREE. When I asked Audi for key fob protectors, they said to shop on Amazon. When I inquired to BMW, they provided (real) carbon fiber key fob covers for all 4 keys, for free. When I wanted protective clear wrap in the front on my Audi, they charged me another $8k. When I inquired at BMW, THEY WRAPPED THE FRONT ENDS OF *BOTH* VEHICLES FOR FREE. When I picked up the vehicles they had placed BMW "M" hoodies in each one vehicle and BMW polos in the other vehicle for my entire family. I will NEVER forget this comparison. I will not be purchasing another Audi. BMW has earned my respect and loyalty.
@@labemolon5739 Agree 💯 Audi’s are beautiful cars, that being said, they lack some basic conveniences and overly complicate others. Since I left my previous comment, I’ve purchased a new BMW i4 and 430i Convertible and haven’t looked back since. The Audi is parked outside my garage and on Turo. Out of 3 months, it’s gone out twice, while the BMW’s stay booked and busy. 😂 I need your hookup for the floor mats, clear wrap and key fobs for real 🤩🙌🏼
Very strange that Audi is owned by the Volkswagen Group and my 2019 Arteon came factory equipped with remote start capability. Not sure what the European laws have to do with it??
How safe is it to have an extra key in the car? Does that key act as just a receiver? Is it programmed to prevent turning the vehicle on if a normal key isn't nearby? The app you speak of also, does it allow us to control heating by any chance?
Laugh, it literally is a key in the car: Unsure if this is accurate but imagining they take the backup key module in front of the armrest and (hopefully) split it to a second unit, then adhere a backup key to it, then program the ecu to turn on the engine with 3 door locks. That said, if it's how it works, anyone could bust your windows and drive off but highly unlikely they'd know the trick to restarting it would be to simply lock the doors 3 times.
They key for the start replaces your fob, they have to order another fob to do the remote start he said, most likely you'd deactivate the older fobs so no one else has access, I dont like seeing it say 3 fobs when I only have 2, so I'd take off that 3rd one to be certain 🤔.
The 3 lock function to program the ecu to fire the engine sounds very aftermarket mod and especially dicking with the ECU, yes, I would assume voids your warranty outside them
@@j.ballsdeep420 There is no messing with the ECU, the key sits in a specially designed key box hidden deep within the vehicle which is connected to the remote start module which plugs into the BCM2 module using a fully compatible plug and play harness.
@@bbnnmm9 also is it a smart remote start? As in according to the climate, would it preset the climate control for the best comfort? That is if the weather is cold, it automatically turns on heated seats, {heated steering wheel, heated armrests (if it has these features)}, and set the climate control to heat without having to have left it running last time the car ran?
Germany doesn't allow any auto manufacturers to have remote start. Only MBUSA and BMW USA vehicles are offered with remote start. Audi USA does not offer a remote start option on their cars.
@@TheTomgrossman86 I couldn’t tell you why, We’d certainly prefer that they offer it! Thankfully pre-climatization is available on full electric and plug in hybrid models.
@@TheTomgrossman86 I don’t think that’s necessarily true because VW has remote start. I do agree they are more cautious in general because of the diesel trouble they got themselves into.
I tried this on the off chance that it would work. My lights did the flashing thing but it did not start. However, my keyfob doesn't work anymore. How do I reprogram back to default settings
Did you have the system installed? It doesn’t come with your car from the factory. There isn’t a way to deprogram your key on your own. You may have a dead key battery.
@@17sylargino VW should share with their other brands. I’m hoping product managers are reading these comments. I have a new 2022 Q5. It never occurred to me to ask because it seems so obvious.

Well, it's advantageous for both hot and cold weather, you can remote start it and let it cool or heat up the car before you get to it. My BMW has a factory fitted remote start while my Audi does not. So, I would not mind having that feature installed.

Hi.....I have a 2024 SQ8. Is it standard or do I have to have a new keyfob? Is there a cost?
Very strange that Audi is owned by the Volkswagen Group and my 2019 Arteon came factory equipped with remote start capability. Not sure what the European laws have to do with it??
VW made the decision to design a remote start system for their US models only. Not sure why Audi didn’t do the same.
Its an environmental issue in Europe for auto start, its different in the states
Audi is love❤️❤️❤️
They should also turn on from the app
Can I do this with Audi 2012 a6 ?

Is this offered in the US?
My 2014 Holden Ute has this.... I thought Audis had the "latest" tech pmsl
The phone app is what everyone is using now, does it involve the same process.
Interesting. Does adding such a feature void the warranty, or is everything still fully covered?
