It is no secret that VAG's standard key coding algorithms are among the most complex ones. That is why, implementing the remote engine start function requires expensive equipment or a standard key in the car’s interior, which reduces protection against theft.
AUTHOR engineers have worked hard to enable the company's server to support VAG key calculation. It is now possible to install AUTOSTART in several cars without using an additional crawler, with the regular car key placed in it. This will not only significantly simplify the installation process and increase protection against theft but will also reduce costs for purchasing an insurance policy.
All you need to do is connect AUTOSTART to the CAN bus, perform the key reading procedure, and use the Author Flasher utility to get an electronic key that controls the standard protection.
The current list of supported VAG cars on which the remote engine start technology has already been implemented is as follows:
Volkswagen Polo VI 2020-2020;
Volkswagen Jetta VII 2019-2020;
Skoda Rapid II 2020-2020;
Skoda Octavia III (Rest.1) 2017-2020.
