Already STFA...Anyone here use a remote car starter on their RS4??

It's getting COLD!! It would be nice to have remote car start, but downside is one more bulky key fob and I imagine there might be electrical nightmares involved...Thanks in advance for any thoughts/experiences.

I've heard nightmare stories about manuals left in gear then started remotely

I think it is illegal to install a remote start on a manual for that reason...

A few years back Compustar was the only one that could be done legally because it was interlocked with the shifter.

If the car wasn't in neutral it wouldn't start.
