audi a4 2001 remote start

Hello everyone.
I'm going to install a Remote Start Alarm with push button start On my Audi A4 2001 , This car have Immobilizer So Probably I need bypass ?.
And because this system With push button start So I need to put The switch On ACC position Probably because of the steering wheel lock , Correct me if I'm wrong ?.
My question is if I need bypass What kind of And where I can buy it ?
And What should I do About the steering wheel lock ?.
The thing is I do not want to hide a key For the Immobilizer , And Not want to cut The key For the ACC.
What is your suggestions Guys ?

To my knowledge the only bypass available for the 01 A4 is a key-in-a-box style.

Installer, IT support, and FFL. I need less hobbies.

None of the above, I may be wrong here but the only by-pass unit for that vehicle would be the DEI 556U.
Check out the Fortin site. A 2001 is borderline on it's CAN systems, on 04 onwards there are probably lots of keyless by-pass sites.
As for the other part you will have to disable the steering wheel lock, one thought, why go to all that trouble.
The man to ask about a push button start is Kevin Pierson, you can find him here.

What kind of system is it? The only reason you would need to put the key in the ACC position is to unlock the steering wheel. It may be possible to eliminate the steering wheel lock all together but the process (and risk) varies from car to car.

What do you have to do it initiate the push button start sequence? The need to turn the key to the ACC position may be a form of security as well (the accessory circuit must be powered up before the system will recognize a push of the button).

Very relevant Kevin because on some Porsches and BMWs you HAVE to activate ACC as part of the ignition, the vehicle won't start without it.
That model year is the last Audi I'd touch without a CAN conversion box such as Canmax 400. But when it comes to push button you're the man, I'm out of it.

Thanks everyone for the help.

Kevin The system I am going to install in my car are EASYCAR E771AS ,
Here is a link to INSTALLATION GUIDE
I think I will check how much will it cost to make a copy of the key times 2, with the original key (with Immobilizer) I hide it with the antenna, one of those I did copy of them, I would cut and put it in ACC position , The other key I just keep at home.
tell me if this will work Guys ? .

Leaving the key in the car like that presents a huge security risk and I would strongly advise against it.

If you leave the key in the ignition cylinder and leave a w2w (hard wired) security bypass in the vehicle all a thief would have to do is manipulate one wire and turn the key and drive off. It may take cutting an additional wire to silence the alarm.

If it were my car and you were dead set on not having to use a key in the ignition cylinder I would visit a lock smith and see if they can bypass the mechanical wheel lock. The key thing, however, is to make sure the ignition cylinder still functions as OEM so that it can be used as a failsafe if the alarm/remote start ever fails.
