Anyone done a remote start on a 3.2DSG yet? I asked about 6 months ago and
got no positives. I'm hoping, now that it's getting colder, someone has succeded.
I have seen the Fortin Can-bus interface but I have not seen a "complete" piece.
TIA

To do so would require bypassing the immobilizer system.
I don't think you've seen anyone with a remote start because noone is brave enough or technically competent to do the required bypass.

totally bad idea,...
'warming your car up' in cold weather is bad for it. far better to start your car up let it run for maybe 60 seconds, and roll away. and then just don't rev it too high until it comes up to temperature.
if your start your car in the cold, and let it idle in place, the motor gets a ton more wear, than if you slosh it around and vary the revs(below 3k)
