Important! RSR installations are NOT compatible with vehicles equipped with a manual transmission.
Remote Start Ready (RSR) is a function that enables the interface module to remote start the vehicle completely on its own.
Consequently, there is no need for an aftermarket or an OEM remote starter in order to start the vehicle from a distance.
SmartStart Compatible: SmartStart is equipped with D2D, which means it can be connected to an interface module
and used in Remote Start Ready (RSR) mode without the use of a remote starter. See "Module programming" for more
information.This firmware does not support transponder override. One (1) programmed OEM key must be wired into the
vehicle to 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
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.
To remote start the engine, the hood, the hatch and all doors must be closed.
Unless specified otherwise, all connectors are displayed from the wire side, with the exception of the OBDII diagnostic
connector.
Refer to the "Vehicle connections" following the installation diagram.
There are two possible installation methods for the Audi Q7. The alternative wiring diagram can be found following the
wiring diagram. Choose the install that is more convenient and refer to Vehicle connections.
