I think I did at one time. I assume you did a google search. IF I get a chance I will see if I could find it. I noticed that the key fob is not for sale anymore

I did a quick search and what I found goes up to 2017, but you can contact these people to see how much it would cost..

I found this on one of the sites:
Call 855-530-0617 to find a Locksmith in your area to program this remote or go to LocateALocksmith.com to find one in your area.

Salesman told me Audi Connect will have this activated through the app sometime next year. Let’s see if he was right.

You mean the remote starter will be available for newer cars next year or it will make current cars work too?

From what I have learned since owning an Audi, you get nothing for free from them. If it is an update, they will charge for it.
I find it hard to believe that the hardware is built into the car. But I will be optimistic.

Me too. I find a bit hard to believe that there already have the hardware built into it and just enable it with software.

Just a guess but if they do allow it as an update, I think they’ll require an Audi Connect subscription. I have absolutely no information to substantiate this but that wouldn’t be a bad idea on their part as not many people seem to be seeing a lot of value in paying for the subscription service otherwise. Might get them more subscribers. It would definitely make me consider paying for the service if they did that.

Anyway, just a thought.
