I had a viper dealer install a system like you want. You go on original cardinal and 3x press the door lock button to start the car.

Toll was about $400 installed with lifetime warranty.

I'm also in the market for a remote starter, I think I'm gonna become a Compustar brand unit as I've had skillful success with this brand in the past with other vehicles... Volition permit you lot know how it goes in one case I go it.. Should exist inside the adjacent ii weeks..

I install remote starts, and installed a directed (visitor that owns viper) unit in mine. It is 3x times lock on the manufactory play a joke on. The idatalink ane is bang-up also. Haven't had whatever problems with either one.

If you wanna install it yourself, (1) make sure it is flashed with the correct firmware. Directed and idata crave you lot to be registered and piece of work for a shop to flash their modules. (2) do not buy something cheap off eBay. (3) directed and the idatalink requires your valet cardinal to transmit the immobilizer code to the vehicles calculator to allow it to get-go. Simply there are merely five maybe 6 wires for the whole install. A few at the obd2 connector and a couple at the start push button and I believe that's it. Harder to take autonomously than install it.

So I am interested in this likewise, simply I have an EPL ECU and TCU tune....does this upshot the power to get an auto beginning or it doesnt matter?

10-15-201806:31 PM

Tune will make no deviation

Ownership an EVO-I myself.

x-22-201801:06 PM

Any updates on this? I am debating the EVO-1 or the Compustar, any pregnant differences betwixt the two?

My biggest effect here (Central Md) is finding a reputable place to install it where I don't have to worry about damage to the interior of my motorcar. Proper pre-installation preparation comes to mind to avert scratched seats, dirt/oil/grease on the steering wheel and any other interior scuffs/harm. I realize I may audio boujee merely I love my interior and am proud that information technology is kept in dandy condition.

Anyone in the DMV area take suggestions/experience with a audio/remote showtime installer that they could recommend?

I installed mine myself, I wouldn't recommend it if your non comfy with wiring. As for Fortin products, there top notch. Most installers used at that place immobilizer featherbed modules before Viper and Compustar started building there own.

10-22-201805:31 PM

I'thousand going to Fortin tomorrow since they are locate near me and i'm going with Evo one with Android

That�s just information technology...I scare hands when information technology comes to messing with annihilation that has more than a power and ground wire lol.

I�d rather pay someone to exercise information technology that will do it right every bit if it was their own car.

The install cost is minimal and best of all most companies offer a lifetime warranty so if there�s bug it�s their problem.

I worked as a QA engineer for a OEM for 10 years. Have seen alot of problems with crappy remote starters and crappy install causing electrical gremlins right upto "unintended acceleration". In the subsequently case, ane client with a 6700lbs SUV, dealer installed aftermarket remote starter, SUV going full throttle with no pedal movement. Customer refused to drive the vehicle, threatened lawsuit blah blah, we brought the SUV to our HQ and inspected. Noticed crappy make remote starter and even crappier install, I pulled out the oscilloscope and checked all the wires coming in and out of the remote starter. Found a intermediate 0.2 volt fasten coming out from one relay going back to the engine ECU causing the trouble. There was just enough voltage to mess upwards the ECU and not curt it out.

Go a proficient quality remote starter and a even better installer.

Finally got it installed... I went with the Compustar remote first and got the security option as well. My local car audio shop which is also a Compustar dealer did the install and it came out perfect because y'all don't know information technology's in that location. Had the special beeps and stuff all turned off then the auto operates and looks OEM... Wintertime is starting here so perfect timing..

I got the model with a 3 mile radius so I'll be able to start it nether pretty much all circumstances I face up. Information technology also has the press 3x on the OEM key play a trick on for auto start, merely the range on my OEM keyfob is ridiculously curt which is why I went with the long range model from Compustar... Didn't need to necktie upward a central for the install either which I like too..

Do y'all take model/part numbers on the Compustar? I desire to install the compustar with the plug & play harness without leaving a cardinal in the car. I but dont feel condom leaving in the car.

I have installed a compustar remote start with the plug and play harness in my married woman'south '18 Highlander and information technology was very uncomplicated.

Thank you

I did this install to my car about 3 years ago, and it has worked pretty proficient.

Things to go on in mind, the remote start will only work with the rang of the keyfob the auto. (Pretty close)
You have to get the unit preprogramed before your install.
And aye yous can add together smartstart to the unit with a small modification of the input and output cables on the unit.

YOU Accept TO LOSE A Central NO MATTER WHAT PROVIDER YOU Employ!!! I USED THE BLACK BASIC VALET KEY!!

After getting it programed at my location shop it took me most 2 hours to cease everything. And a store should program this for no more than $thirty since information technology takes thirty seconds to program. If your going to add smartstart in the time to come you should let him or her know earlier programming as it is a option to "plough on that port"

If you guys have whatever questions on this shoot me a DM. THIS IS DEF A DYI project. don't pay 600/1000 to get this done. Its really like 5 wire claw upwards and wrapping your cardinal.

You are admittedly right, the range on the OEM keyfob suck, you lot have to be and so shut to the car in order for information technology to work.. All-time to get a remote with additional range, the Compustar unit I have has a iii mile range which is pretty sugariness..

With the Compustar unit, there was no need to lose a key.. I nonetheless accept both my keys as well equally my plastic valet primal to use at will..

The range and non losing a key were large features that made me go the direction I went..

Even tho I'm typically ok to perform nigh mechanical jobs, I tend to shy away from certain electrical jobs, even if it's only 5 wires. I've had electrical screw ups in the past that have made me a bit gun-shy to do them on a auto of this quotient. For me, on this one, I thought it would be best to let the pros do their affair and I walk away with warranty on the product and labor..

I'll take a look at what paperwork I have for it, I didn't install it myself so not sure what I have left from the instructions and boxes/packaging.. I typically throw out all packaging and such considering over the years I've held on to also much stuff and it gets out of control quickly..

I honestly figured it'd be cheaper, but I miss remote start. I had a CompuStar full alarm, remote start with blade remote installed on my Raptor a couple years ago and it was $400 and I assume probably more labor. Definitely glad to hear no giving upwardly a key, I demand to get information technology put on my S7 ASAP.

Depends on manufacturer/model. Idatalink makes a module that does crave a cardinal and ane that doesn�t.

Ok here are the part numbers guys-
The first 2 are needed to have the remote start and apply manufacturing plant pull a fast one on (3 clicks) to start the motorcar- not losing a cardinal- drone kit volition allow GPS and remote beginning and other basic features with your smart phone. Last one is a RF kit aka a add on remote to extend the OEM range if you lot decide non to become the drone kit. Keep in mind you can install all of this if you really wanted too.

Skilful thread. I bought a 2018 A6 last week. This is a characteristic I had on my Jeep that I miss.
I'm not sure it's worth the $550-$600 to become dorsum, merely when you consider information technology also adds GPS tracking (remotely) and the power to get-go and unlock from my phone, I tin start to justify it.

Based on all I've read and then far, the Compustar with the Drone (LTE) addition is the mode to go. Too price, my. biggest business organisation is the installation and messing with interior pieces creating squeaks and creaks... despise interior noises more than than anything!

I'grand headed to my local 'authorized dealer' for Compustar tomorrow. If they'll let me watch them similar a militarist while installing, I may go 1.

01-06-201907:06 PM

Heads up guys, I'yard going to be selling my remote start kit in a few days, you volition have to lose a key ( i used the basic blackness Valet fundamental), but the arrangement is flashed for Audi and ready to be installed on whatever C7 or C7.five, You lot have to plug in near 5 wires and 2 of them are going to your push button 2 outset button.- I'm too going to include the Viper Smart Start kit prewired to the system , so yous can rail and remote outset your car from your device. So yous volition accept everything you demand to practice to get this up and running. If yous can install RSnav, then you can install this lol if your interested delight shoot me a DM with an offer. I will (Install support for a few days if needed.)
