Pre-installation and application warnings

Firmware notes: This section highlights important information for this specific firmware and will assist in
pricing accordingly, as well as bringing awareness to any operational or vehicle limitations.
T-Harness
compatible
This firmware does not support transponder override. One (1) programmed OEM key must be wired into the vehicle to
Š
complete the installation of a remote starter.

A Note Regarding Climate Controls: Audi climate controls are key memory sensitive. This means that the last key used
Š
to operate the vehicle will determine the setting for the climate controls. In order to make changes to environment control
settings, the following procedure is necessary:
1) Remote start the vehicle.
2) Make your climate control adjustments, ensuring NOT to use the AUTO mode on the control panel as this makes the Audi
adjust its HVAC settings based on external factors such as engine temperature.
3) When the adjustments are complete, turn off the vehicle starter, either by remote or footbrake.
This will ensure the climate controls function as the customer desires them too.

To remote start the engine, the hood, the hatch and all doors must be closed.
