[s-cars] 94 S4 infra-red key replacement options

[Christopher Leal]

Bought the remotes and they look to be good quality. I will let you know how they work once I install them.

Any thoughts on this system that comes with "switch blade key" remotes?

Ebay auction #120331094209 or link below.

I'm tempted to replace my bulky IR remote with this system!

chris, i put a prestige APS-25CH into my '92 a long time
ago, and can lock/unlock my car from 50 feet away.  i could
have gotten a more expensive alarm system, but all i wanted
was the RF remotes.  i'm not wild about the somewhat
cheap remotes, but they have worked well for several years
and the system was less than $40.  most alarm systems will
probably work, as long as they ground their outputs to
activate, and double pulse to unlock.

referring to the audiworld diagram, the relays are
unnecessary extra wiring (besides drawing more power and
decreasing reliability due to their mechanical nature).  i
wired diodes in-line and had no problems at all.  let me
know if you need help wiring.

S-heads,

Finally tired of replacing batteries and the crappy range I
have with the infra-red key locking/unlocking. On a jeep I
had I wired up a cheap aftermarket fob that gave me extended
range. I noticed on Audiworld someone did this on their A4:
http://www.audiworld.com/tech/elec52.shtml  Has anyone found
better options for replacing the existing system? Maybe an
upgrade to later Audi components with the RF capability?

Any guidance is appreciated.

Cheers,
Christopher
