Can the Audi A4L be started remotely?

Audi A4L currently does not support remote start, but it does support remote unlocking. Here is a detailed introduction about the Audi A4L: 1. One-Button Start: The one-button start button of the Audi A4L is located at the lower left corner of the central control screen. The owner can start the car without inserting the key after entering the cabin with the key. 2. Vehicle Introduction: The new Audi A4L has undergone a strong evolution in appearance, featuring a new three-waistline design that outlines more geometric body lines. The wide front grille brings a bold and powerful visual effect. The new Audi A4L is equipped with the enhanced Audi Virtual Cockpit, which can display phone, navigation maps, etc. in 3D on the 12.3-inch screen, and can freely switch between classic, sporty, or dynamic display styles.
I recently tried the remote features of the Audi A4L. It actually supports remote start, but it depends on the model year and configuration. Generally, higher-trim models equipped with Audi Connect after 2020 can use the My Audi App to operate it—once connected via phone, you can start the engine to warm it up. This is quite convenient, especially in winter when you start the car a few minutes before heading out, making the interior warmer. However, it requires a stable network connection; if the signal is weak due to distance, it may fail. Security-wise, the system requires identity authentication, and the doors automatically lock after starting. It’s recommended to opt for the tech package or a software upgrade when purchasing the car to enable this feature. Daily usage doesn’t significantly affect fuel consumption, but keep an eye on battery health. Overall, this feature adds a lot to daily life and is perfect for those who prefer convenience.
