That installer is incorrect. The car doesn't require the ACC connection because the IGN takes care of all accessories in the vehicle. Once the vehicle starts with remote start, the alternator kicks in ( since it's belt driven ) and will automatically start charging the vehicle.

If there's a charging issue with the vehicle to begin with, then the remote starter will also have a problem charging the vehicle. We've done a few of these platform Jetta's without issues.

I dont think there's much difference between the two other than DRL and in Canada there are City Jetta and the regular Jetta. Different body styles but but are able to sustain a remote starter.
