A:Answer If your car is "brand new", you may be able to get a factory remote start since Audi and VW just started offering them on their new cars. Otherwise, I can tell you that this remote start works with your original keys, and works well. You just hit the LOCK button 3 times and the car starts. You have to use the remote to unlock the car, the proximity sensor is disabled while in remote start. The get in and press the brake and the car is ready to go. Very nice product.
