Montreal, Canada, August 19th 2016 -- Automotive Data Solutions Inc. (ADS) will unveil its new iDataStart® VWX and VW2 remote start systems for select Volkswagen/Audi standard key and push-to-start models 2006 and up this weekend at Knowledgefest in Dallas, Texas

Thanks to its patented KLON ‘over-the-air’ key cloning technology, ADS’ all new VW/Audi remote start solutions are the first to provide a secure, digital override solution of the vehicle’s immobilizer system without installing a physical key under the dash.

While most technicians will agree that installing a traditional remote starter on an Audi or VW can be quite challenging, iDataStart VW solutions will include a ‘plug & play’ T-harness that dramatically reduces install time and complexity. Both solutions will also support convenience features such as lock, unlock and trunk release as well as ‘3XLOCK’ remote start from the factory key fob on most models.

"Developing this solution was not an easy task, but we felt the industry needed it so it was time for us to get it done." said Frank Barassi, President at ADS.

"Delivering solutions like these that have long been considered ‘undoable’ is the reason we get up in the morning and a testament to ADS’ commitment to innovation", continued Barassi.  

iDataStart VW remote starters will begin shipping across the US and Canada in October 2016 and will be available in two variants: iDataStart VWX will ship without RF for ‘3xLOCK’ remote start from the factory key fob, while iDataStart VW2 will include a 1-button, 2-Way long range remote. Both kits will include the VW1 T-harness and are compatible with most aftermarket telematics devices including DroneMobile and AutoLink and more.
