Hello

Please write a complete list of what is needed for self-connection, programming and setting up remote engine start from OEM key fob using Evo-All VWT1 unit on AUDI S3 8V 2015 with start button?

I can't understand whether I need only R-link or only TB-VW or do I need both of these units, and what is needed to program the immobilizer bypass so as not to leave the key in the car?

And do I need a transponder?

So that I can order everything at once and not have to order the missing parts to Ukraine again and only then figure out how to install it using the instructions :)

Parts required for remote start using the OEM remote automatic transmission only:

- flash link updater: https://fortin.ca/en/products/installation-accessories/FLASHLINK%20UPDATER/

Please note keybypass not supported on vehicles equipped with virtual cluster, key sacrifice required.
