Unless it's part of a special package they would never be standard in a car.
I think I read in an old thread here that an oilpan heater is a better option (or maybe only option) for the A4 in terms of engine warming.

 

yes they hv one i think but usually is a option so i think u needa pay for it
but an auto starter is much way better ^0^
i hate when i get in the car and im like shaking and freezing lol

 

Sorry to bring this post up again, but where would be the best (and safest) place in calgary to have a remote starter installed? I have an 06 A4, btw.

Also, Glenmore Audi had advised me that as long as you use synthetic oil, you dont need a block heater. Can somebody confirm this for me?
Thanks.

 

I think at Calgary is at T&T Honda.

 

A block heater is used to prolong the life of your very expensive engine, and is always a good idea. My vehicles are all plugged in when temperatures go below zero. I installed an oil pan heater on my Audi A4 2.0L to ensure that warm oil gets to the cam bearings for every cold start. Starting a cold soaked engine is just encouraging unnecessary wear.

 

I called the dealer, audi does NOT make a block heater option. An aftermarket inline would be the next best thing
