Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

    Remote start / ignition

    I know we have sort of chattted about this before, but after watching the new ad for the Ameriican spec Passat, which features the remote start option, I would like to know if we will ever got this here in Aust?

    Perhaps at least on the upper spec models??

      Not that I've heard of. In fact I "think" it's illegal to fit remote starts here after somebody was run over by a remote starting vehicle (it had been left in gear) somewhere. Not positive on the "illegal" aspect though.

        It shouldnt start if left in gear? A Manual cant be started without the clutch engaged, and the auto or DSG wont start unless in park?

        Perhaps the one that ran someone over was tampered with by a back-yarder?

          Very likely, can't remember the details, it was a few years back now, but I'm pretty sure they banned them ? Could be that they're allowed now but not that I've actually seen.
