Default Is there any way to get Keyless entry/start without Prestige??

I guess I really do not want to spend the extra $3k for the 19" rims but also want the keyless entry and start.......Any recommendations?

Can keyless be vagged? When I was doing some mods saw this option come up but didn't have time to try it out.

I have Prestige, 19s, and the autokey and like them very much. But, they're just icing on the cake and not essential to really enjoy an S4. You can get a wonderfully optioned Premium Plus car and it makes more sense money-wise. I'm just an old geezer now and like to be spoiled, that's all!

But, bite the bullet and get the 19s or get 'em aftermarket. IMO, the stock 19s look great, but believe any 19s look better proportioned on the S4. Of course, if you don't have good roads in your area, 18s may be a necessity.

Why do you care whether he cares? This is just an odd response from someone who is usually really helpful here.

Come on boys. Play nice! The OP points out an meaningful issue about our S4s. Unlike BMW, where MOST of the package options can be obtained ala carte, Audi only allows you to get them as part of the Prestige package. Yes, some options are available individually. BUT there were a couple of options that I would have really liked(key less ignition being the primary one) that I had to forgo because I did not want to pay for most of the options in the package that I just didn't want or need.
