There has been much debate on the interwebs about whether or not a remote car starter can be installed on a Volkswagen vehicle. Some folks say yes and others say no. So, what is all the confusion about? The real question when it comes to installing a remote car starter in a Volkswagen, or any vehicle for that matter isn’t “can it be done” but “can it be done RELIABLY.” Mobile Edge clients have come to expect that when we install something in their vehicle, it just works. That’s a standard we strive to maintain. Until recently there have not been any solutions that reliably integrate a remote car starter into the complex electronic systems found in Volkswagen vehicles.
A Reliable Volkswagen Remote Car Starter Solution
That being the case, Mobile Edge and many reputable shops throughout the country have stayed away from installing remote starting systems into Volkswagen and many other European vehicles. That has all changed because of recent advancements in remote starter interface technology. We now are able to offer Volkswagen remote car starter installations and confidently tell our clients that they will stand the test of time.
When we got a call from an Allentown client asking about a remote starter for his 2013 Volkswagen Jetta TDI, we had a solution. Along with the traditional remote starter, we added the convenience of automatic keyless entry called EZ-GO. When the owner approaches the vehicles the doors automatically unlock without any interaction from the client. The system also locks the doors when he exits. In addition to all this, the entire system can be controlled from anywhere in the world with the DroneMobile app on the owner’s smartphone.
So if you have a Volkswagen vehicle and you want to add a remote car starter to it, look no further than Mobile Edge. Stop by our shop and we will go over the various options available for your vehicle. And while you are here we will give you a tour of our state of the art showroom and installation facility. We have people drive hundreds of miles for our remote starter installations and now we are happy to be able to accommodate those clients with Volkswagens!
*Installation available on most VW models.

Mitch,
I see that you’ve installed remote starts on a Jetta TDI’s. Just to add one more level of complexity, can it be done on a 2011 Jetta TDI with a standard transmission?

I have a 2012 manual TDI. Jetta. I want to put remote start on to defrost and warm cab up a little. I’m not anywhere close to you so my question is “Do you sell a kit” I don’t need anything but remote start if the other stuff is included so be it

I recently had a remote starter installed in my 2009 vw jetta. While the car was running I accidentally put my foot on the break and the car died.but I didn’t have the key in the ignition. Is that normal for that to happen? But when the key is in the ignition and running and i apply my foot to the break it doesn’t die it stays running.
