I apologize if I posted to the incorrect area. (I don't know the difference between C5/C7's? - Shed some light on that too?)

My question is:

Would anyone have any recommendations as to which (aftermarket) 'remote' starter I should investigate installing in '16 A6?

Seen a few, that need some sort of wires coming off of one my FOBs, that stays under the seat with a wire antenna going to the sensor (helps beat the by-pass device, I guess) but that seems a little tacky to me.

Is there a nice clean one/unit you can just install or re-program my current FOB to do so? (Many other A6's already have 'remote-start.' - Was wondering if just RE=PROGRAMMING the remote is all it would take??)

My dealer stated THEY have "a shop who does their new-car-sales" for them, so I can only imagine THEIR's [their vendor that is] will NOT ruin the warranty but what if I had a different 3rd party install a much less expensive one.

We're ALL familiar with "current events" re A6 3.0 _DIESELS_ - in that regard, (until things "settles" down a bit, ((get it!) I don't care to risk my car's warranty.)

Any help or guidance is well appreciated in advance. Thank You!

C-5 is for 1998-2004 models. C-6 is for 2005 to present models. When you open up a thread list page there is a menu bar right above the list of threads that tells you what model are included.
