Yes the relay will work also, the wire loops act as a amplifier.
Enlighten me on the vw install that you found.
Can you post it?
Single out the odd wires at the ignition and test to see if any go +12v or (-)ground when key is inserted to find keysense. You already know that the Transponder is 2 of the wires.
Once you find key sense you can temporally power it up and test the remote start.
I've never seen a Transponder that was switched closed When Ignition was turned on, but any thing is possible.
This is for a 2008 Sabb9.7x but is supposed to be similar don't know if the wire colors are the sane but it's worth a shot!
