Just curious what you guys are paying for the Viper Smart Start system installed? Also are you having to give up a key?

I'm just curious as to which place in Calgary is quoting that price? I haven't started to look around yet, but will hopefully get around to it fairly soon. All I have so far is the oil pan heater installed by the dealer. It works okay, but not nearly as good as a normal block heater would be (not available on the Q5) or a remote starter.

Autotemp. Apparently they have "the best" audi installers but I just can't come to terms with that kind of premium. If you find somewhere else that has a good reputation please let me know.

Also, where is your plug for the oil pan heater?

The plug for the oil pan heater runs up inside the engine bay and I just have it sticking out ofthe front hood when needed. Not exactly he best solution (I would have preferred to have it come out from the front grill but I can't seem to find any way of running it through there with all the cooling radiators filling up the front space behind the grill). We don't use it that often.

I have a 2013 audi Q5. Looking to install a remote starter built into the original key fob. I understand Smart Road Canada and Lock Down Security are 2 vendors that offer this service. Has anyone used them and what feedback can you give. Also, (and most important) are you facing any issues after the starter has been installed. Thanks.
