Default Remote Start

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you had wired your own remote start systems, I know there are two that my friend can get me, one being a piggy-back system that adds the remote start capability, and the other is a stand alone remote start/alarm system. Have any of you installed on on your A8, was it difficult. I fairly inclined with rewiring etc, mostly with car stereos, but not sure if I could tackle a remote start system.
Thanks

Default It takes a couple of hours, but worth it. Just make sure you buy the best quality.

Don't buy Bulldog or design-tech, they will burn your starter.

yeah I was going Python DEI. TOZO did you just follow the instructions that it came with and get a wiring diagram or did you try the piggy back system?
Thanks

I don't have it in the A8. I had it in my 100 and my GTI.
