sure can.......go to your dealer......you can buy the module and the remote, they have a KIT, either install it yourself or have them install it and your set. BUT your car CAN'T be a MANUAL for it to work.

Actually, it has to be an AUTOMATIC. I had my dealer add it to my Camaro for free labor, but you MUST get a new key ($65) and pay for the kit ($115) so it still cost me $180, but it works really well, and on days like today it's really worth it.

That's an Audi, right?

Well, I can't see the difference, as long as it's automatic they might be able to install the device.

BTW, if it's not factory installed the OnStar remote start feature on the iPhone won't work.

I think he meant AUTOMATIC 6 (A6) This is OK for the kit.

Lol, yeah its an automatic 6. Im actually excited i might go check them out this weekend. Im just worried that the dealer may try to charge me a s*** load because they were trying to hustle me when i got the car. If i can get it for 185 like another member posted that would be awesome. So i would be able to get both keys too or just one? I have my spare stashed at home.

Anyone has pics of the key witj remote start?

The kit costs between $100-$150 depending on the dealer (some will sell it at cost and some will sell it for MSRP). MSRP on the keys is $43 each. So all in all no more then $200 max not including labor. You can do this yourself at home however it does require you to take apart a small section of the dash to get to the remote start module.

The kit DOES NOT come with any keys. You will have to purchase these separately so how many keys you get depends on how much money you want to spend.

I went to this website http://www.gm.oeaccessories.com/Home/ and found a dealer locally to install it (and what they would charge).

I took a print out of the quote and they honored it no problem.

I love it! (especially since it was 21 this AM)
