Remote Start Options

[coffmansd74]

After searching some threads, I don't see any real recommendations nor feedback concerning any aftermarket remote start options for my 2022 RS6. Can anyone chime in with what they may have, where they acquired it and feedback? Thanks.

I'm not sure about a 22 RS6 but my wife had a Carlink 7 remote start added to her 23 S8. It does take one of your keys out of service so she ordered an extra and had it programmed. She had it done at the Audi dealership.

12volt solutions is a good option.

I’ve successfully used the drone mobile on multiple Audis, including our RS7, without any issues. I’m planning to install it in the RSQ8 next week.

Looks like I have homework to do. Thank you all for your response and options.

Assuming that you utilize this option, what have you found to be the Pro/Cons to this? Any thoughts on I wish it could do this or pair with this, etc? Do you have the mobile app or just the key fob? if key fob, is it your normal or did you go the long range route?

Just to clarify, Carlink requires a secondary programming or was something your local dealership offered? Any one thing you dislike about it?

With these cars being mobile computers I wanted an Audi dealer to install it since it's still under warranty. There are different options that the dealer offers depending on what range you want. Basic being just the range of the key fob versus anywhere there is cell service using the mobile app. I went with the mobile app and bought an extra key that they programmed. It does sacrifice a key so I wanted a spare at home. It's pretty seamless and is nice in the Minnesota weather. You have to adjust the temp before you leave the car though. It locks/unlocks and starts/stops the car. It will also open the trunk as well.
Pretty happy with it.

I definitely am looking for an option with those same options/conveniences whether it be very hot/cold weather, along with the unlock/lock functions. I went down a major rabbit hole visiting 3 different car audio shops, inquiring about them which led to front and rear dash cams as well. I was informed that apparently in Texas it's against the law to have a key fob in the vehicle, etc. So I am not sure if the dealer will even provide this service. Either way, more investigative work tomorrow. Thanks again for taking the time to reply and provide your feedback.
