Wrong. All alarms are still active. The car is no easier to steal than it was
before the remote was installed. It takes the ignition key in the ignition to
drive the car. Friends have one installed in their RS6 and checked with their
insurance company before installation. Insurance company okayed it.

The alarms remain on in the installations I am familiar with. The car is no
easier to steal than before. As far as fuel - I don't believe three - five
minutes of idle is going to use much fuel.
I do not have one installed in my RS6 because it sits in a relatively warm
garage, but I have family and friends that use them and swear by them.
The original question was can they be installed in 2002 - 05 Audis, and the
answer is yes, but it is best done by a professional installer. Different
strokes for different folks, Wolfgang.

There is nothing worse than the uneducated opinion on a subject Wolfgang.
None of your points are valid and are all untrue.
Spend some time on the subject matter first before engaging keyboard in the
future.

I stand corrected. I must have misunderstood your comment referring to
"After 2002, Audi put a chip in all keys and you need to be able to
over-ride that by using the valet key in the installation"

I don't argue that they don't work. I just think there are better
options but..
