One of our regular clients from Anchorage brought her 2021 Audi Q5 to us to get a remote start system installed. Cold winter mornings would be no match for this beautiful new car.
We chose a Compustar RFX-FT2600-SS two-way remote kit paired with a Compustar CMVWXMAO control module for easy control from the remote key fob, or from her smartphone via the DroneMobile app. We used a T-harness so none of the vehicle wiring had to be modified to make the system work, although one of the OEM key fobs had to be sacrificed to integrate the new system. The OEM Audi push-to-start ignition system still operates normally, and you’d never be able to tell anything on the vehicle was ever modified.
