Toaureg remote start

Has anyone done a r/s in a touareg yet. I looked at one briefly, and it appears that I have to get power under the seat, and I may have to bust some MacGuyver moves on the ignition switch to make it work. any ideas?Northstart.....or start it your damn self.

You're gonna be busting more than a McGyver move on the ignition switch. I think Fortin has a bypass for the key switch, not to sure. As far as locks and what not, hopefully some of the new CAN Bus modules work on the new VW/Audi products........ Gus Wherever I go, that is where I end up......

All this talk about European and German cars are making me nervous,  I havent had the fourtune to work on one yet

They also have the CAN SL Bypasskit which does Alarm Arm/Rearm Alarm Disarm Door Lock Door Trigger Ouptut Door Unlock Gas Cap Release Hatch/Trunk Release Heated Mirrors Heated Seats Hood Pin Output Panic Mode Parklights Rap Disable Rear Defrost Sliding Door - Driver Side Sliding Door - Passenger Side Tachometer Output Trunk Pin Output and works with Audi, Volks (including Touareg), and Volvo. It should be released sometime next week, so there's need to be nervous.

That sounds like a good product. What sort of price do they go for ?

probably like $86548654854 I worked on one to attempt a cell phone install and since our shop RARELY touches anything high end. or even ANYTHING VW/ AUDI/ VOLVO/ BMW pretty much just jetta head units?... they were gonna give me a few hours the kid with like 3 years experience and this thing has twisted data wiring all under the dash... I'm sure I could have made something work but the thing could probably carry 5 people off a cliff and land on its roof and everyone would walk away unharmed from all the airbags... it just made me a lil bit nervous for a 2 hour block in the schedule book... maybe i'm slow? but we were only charging her $80!!!! SHE OWN'S 5 BURGER KINGS! SHE GAVE HER DAUGHTER ONE!! SHE BOUGHT A $60,000 TOUREG!!! I think she could pay a bit more?... The VW garage wouldn't even touch the cell phone installation!! If that tells you anything?

I do trackers in these cars quite a bit (Lo-jack) so i know that they can be a bit of a disaster area. I was actually asking about the price for the can bus units. We dont get stuff like that over here. We tend to do things the hard way. :)

Best of luck doing it the old fashioned way. By 2008 the law will require all vehicles sold in North America and in the UK to use CAN BUS. I'm not sure about exact pricing, but they should run about $30-$40. Check with their distributors.
