Hey everyone! First time user/installer here and I am doing a mini project to install the remote starter on my own. I was originally quoted over $600 to do an install and after some research, I've found that it's a relatively easy DIY install. Given it's my first time, I'd like to make sure I've got all the parts needed to get it working the way I want.
My car:
2017 Audi S3 Prestige (Push to Start) - Initial Delivery date of Feb 2017 (in case manufacture date matters)
How I'd like it to work:
Simple ~50 feet (~20 meters) distance to remote start using 3 presses of the lock button with the OEM Remote.
I do not want to install a spare-key in my vehicle or sacrifice one of the key fobs
I'd like both key fobs to be able to remote-start the car
I'd like the car to run for 15-20 minutes before turning off
To do the install, I've purchased two items so far:
Fortin EVO-ONE From Amazon [OR Fortin VW-T1 (from Walmart, sold w/ THAR)]
Fortin FLU-100.2 From Amazon (Crimestopper)
Fortin THAR-VW1
Questions:
I read in the installation instructions that the Key Bypass - TB-VW Module is not supported with the Virtual cockpit (or virtual cluster). Are there any workarounds?
Are there are special parts that I require?
Are there any concerns with respect to my battery? (I already have a dash cam & radar detector installed directly to the fuse box)
Are there different versions for American or Canadian cars?
Thanks so much!
