hardest car to do a remote start?

If you don't know the 2 relay bypass this is how i do it.

To get the resistor value start the vehicle with the key.

Cut the WHITE/ blue or white wire and use a DMM. Measure the resistance from the key side of the wire you cut to the WHITE/ yellow or white black wire while the key is in crank position. The vehicle has built in anti-grind.

Follow this diagram.

I am not 100% sure on the Avantguard 5, it is a Clifford which is DEI, but may not use the same relay pack harness. If it does this wire is the small violet on the ribbon cable. If not available on that system you can take the + during start and use a relay to invert it to negative. 86 to + start....85 and 30 to ground, 87 out to immobilizer module, 87a not used.

If you would rather not use a relay perhaps if you post the wiring diagram I can find it for you..but keep in mind it may not have one unless it uses that ribbon cable.

The blue/orange wire on the Avantguard 5 will work.

Heres an update everyone,

I contacted FORTIN about doing the remote starts on the 06- up Audi A8's and 07 Q7's. Here was thier response...

"We do not have a bypass module for these vehicle's but do manufacture a modified ignition barrel that handles to logic of the switch ignition system. However this barrel is not available for sale through our distributors and can only be purchased retail with a remote-starter install at our installation facility here in Montreal. The customer will need to bring the vehicle here in order to have this unit installed. Unfortunately at this time we do not ship or sell this product to anyone."

This was not alot of help since I am in the NYC metropolitan area..not too close to Montreal. I don't think the dealers would give us the time to bring the cars all the way to Canada so I can purchase a modified ignition barrel  (sarcastic). So I am still in the same boat.

If anyone else out there has done an RS in one of these Audis sucessfully, or may know anyone who has I would be very thankful if you could post the info I need.

This Audi dealership has been sending us a ton of work, I would hate to let them down. For example they sent us 4- A4's today, one of them I installed a reverse camera to the factory nav screen,,that alone was a one thousand dollar job..they dropped off another A4 getting the same setup for tomorrow and a Q7 for a K40 bluetooth radar detector and diffusor.

We all know how tough it has been lately in the industry with the moms and pops shutting down everywhere. So we need to work together to figure out the diffcult vehicles and share whatever we can.

Thanks again all.
