2008 audi a6 remote start

08 Audi A6 with Electronic key cylinder Doing a Clifford Responder One with a DBALL Car starts, runs for about 3 seconds and then shuts off. I have rewired power for the data line, done wire-to-wire, tried a canmax 400, tried a Compustar 6200 brain wire-to-wire. I'm running out of ideas. No matter what the car will not stay running. With the Canmax is ran for about 1 second, with the dball, or with the key in the ignition and ON, it runs for 3 seconds. Where do I go from here? Thanks!!!

what do you have for engine sensing? Tach or voltage? if tach, where do you have it connected?Kenny

The problem: you used Xpresskits for your bypass. Solution: Use a fortin module or idatalink. Just kidding , the dball bypasses aren't bad for the money. This is what you need to do. Go to xpresskits.com and make sure you go to the european website, flash/update the module to that firmware. They carry the same version name/flash, however its been coded specifically for euros. Sounds like bs, but try it. It should solve your problems. also how do you have you transponder bypass wired?Ted

And another trick with the Euro section is to use I/Explorer, it doesn't work with Chrome! (From the horse's mouth). I would also hardwire and program tach.

I could be wrong, but I'm thinking this isn't a bypass / transponder issue. I'm no pro when it comes to Audi's, but if it won't run even with the key in the ignition then I'm thinking its more of a tach issue than bypass...Kenny

Possibly with offroadjz here except back in the day it was 15 seconds before shutdown.

I'll try the hardwire tach thing. It's going through data right now I believe. Believe me I would much prefer to use idatalink bypass, but trhey don't have any firmware for this vehicle besides doorlocks and convienence. Nothing for the data key. Thanks for the help, I'll let you guys know what, if anything, works.

Direct wired the tach and programmed the dball on the European site (looked like the identical flash), and it still does the same thing. It starts, runs for a couple seconds, starts to die, runs for another half second of so, and then craps out... Not sure where to go.

i suggested pit stop mode. give that a shotTed
