Hi Audi lovers!

I have just bought 2018 Audi Q5 Komfort and really confused - there is no remote factory start? Or am I missing something? Is there a way to remote start using my factory key?

 

Based on the information available for the 2018 Audi Q5 Komfort model, it appears that remote start is not a standard feature on this vehicle. However, some aftermarket options may be available to add remote start functionality to your Audi Q5.

It's important to note that modifying your vehicle in any way, including adding an aftermarket remote start system, can have an impact on your warranty coverage. You should consult with your dealership or Audi service center before making any modifications to your vehicle.

Additionally, it's worth noting that some jurisdictions have laws and regulations regarding the use of remote start systems, so you may want to check local laws before installing any aftermarket system.

 

Remote starter kits will require you to sacrifice a key. One key will forever be hidden in your vehicle for the remote starter to work, but.its generally hidden very well by the installer. If you absolutely need two keys, you’ll need to have a third key programmed. After all this is said and done, it would be pretty costly but definitely doable. You’ll have the option to use your factory key for remote starting or an additional fob or phone app.
