Q: Question2016 Toyota RAV4. Remote start the vehicle, open the door to get in, the vehicle shuts off. How can this be changed to keep the vehicle running when the driver door is opened?

Asked 5 years ago by Lorna.

• A:Answer Is your RAV4 a ‘Push to Start’? I bought this for both my Highlander and a Lexus that both have push to start and that’s just how it works. If it didn’t stop, anyone would be able to jump in once you remote started it and just drive away. If you don’t have push to start then I’m not sure why.

Q: QuestionDoes this work for 2915 Audi SQ5?

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Assuming you mean a 2015 SQ5, then yes, it does work with that vehicle. You will need to sacrifice one of the vehicle's keys (fobs) to get the job done. Also, expect to be quoted additional labor due to the complexity and time required to complete the installation.

Q: QuestionGreetings, I have a 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan. Will this remote work on that model?

Asked 5 years ago by Ether.

• A:Answer This will work on a Tiguan, however, one key will need to be relinquished to integrate the remote start. This is true of all Audi/VW vehicles when not using the Idatastart module. Also, this control module (the DC3) will only work with automatic transmissions.

Q: QuestionIs anyone else getting a higher than normal drain on their car battery from using this remote start? My car battery (new) gets drained in about 5 days and won't start.

Asked 5 years ago by Johnson.

• A:Answer There will be some additional current draw with an aftermarket remote start, but it shouldn't affect the vehicle that much. If you have a Drone module, or a Compustar security add-on, the draw will increase. The LED that flashes on the antenna can be disabled in programming, if you want to further reduce the current draw. The draw can be measured by a technician if you think it is excessive.

Q: QuestionDoes this work on a 2019 Dodge Journey Crossroad???

Q: QuestionI lost my manufacturer FOB to a VW Touareg. This compustar system is more affordable and has more features than what the dealer will provide. Would this system work without the original FOB? It seems like a good replacement with upgrades.

Asked 5 years ago by Greg.

• A:Answer Most remote starts require you to sacrifice a fob when installing in a Volkswagen. Therefore, you would need to give one up at the time of installation, and still have another to operate the vehicle. The exception to this is the Idatastart VW/Audi-specific remote starts. They allow some VW/Audi models to remote start without the owner losing a key. Check with your local install bay to see if yours would qualify.
