Remote Start - With OEM Remote?

[muskie]

So I have been researching for the last week or so in regards to remote start on my GTI. I have everything figured out like the bypass module and actual remote starter but I can not find any information on activating it with the OEM keyless remote. Looked at all different types including the FL-CAN but haven't gotten any response to requests for supporting firmware. I decided on a DBALL and the Viper 5101 since it supports data. The DBALL supports OEM remote arming of the system (at least I think) but can't find information on setting it up for start. I know there are a few of you guys on here that do this for a living.

One other question I have is what activates the kill feature on a manual with remote start? I know automatics it kills when the brake is applied and no key is inserted. Is it the same but with the clutch on a manual?

Thanks

I could not find anything other than the fact that it is a pain in the ass to do any remote start/alarm correctly on a newer VW

7 wires doesn't sound like a PITA. As long as it is D2D compatible it is fine. No different than any other remote start really.

Found something pretty promising though. Still waiting on the resident experts.

Yes you can make the factory key fob activate the aftermarket remote start. just keep in mind that the factory fobs range is shit.

on viper you connect the wht/blu activation input to a neg (-) lock wire {or a pos (+) lock with relay to switch to neg (-) }and change the programing to three pulse activation and then when you press the lock three times in a row it will activate the remote start

The only reason I don't want an additional remote is the massive size of my switchblade key. Barely fits in my pocket as is.

Thanks for the input! Exactly what I was looking for.

The one I read was talking about running wires into each door to trick the lock module, and using several diodes...
