I had the question about installing a remote starter in a 98 Beetle,and was informed it was an easy install.The question I have now has to do with the paper work I seen on the wiring guide for the car.It states I need a 791 Module and a extra key.So what is a 791 module and where do I get one and do I need it or is the info wrong.It states that I need an extra key as well,does that have to do with the chip in it.Help
Thanks
John
According to DEI the 98 Beetle does not require a transponder bypass module. But the 99 does.
