Does adding a remote start system void an Audi warranty?

I opted out of getting a remote start on my 2021 Audi, but given how frigid winter was last year, I’m considering adding one. Will my original warranty still be valid if I install an aftermarket remote system?

Having a remote start system is handy when the temperatures drop. Rest assured, adding a remote start system won’t void your

original warranty, but you’ll probably want to ensure it’s installed by an experienced professional.
A Federal Law called the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1974 protects all drivers. It states that a manufacturer cannot void a customer’s warranty unless the part causes a malfunction of the problem in question. Essentially, this act allows any licensed aftermarket retailer and authorized installation centers to install aftermarket products—like a remote start system—without voiding the vehicle’s original warranty.
So, you’ll be okay if the remote start doesn’t cause any issues you want to be covered under your original warranty.
On top of having an excellent warranty to protect your Audi, consider investing in a more comprehensive insurance policy to cover you from all angles. With help from
