Too many interventions with the factory security (even though it is easily defeated) for me to be comfortable with.

The start/stop button looks like one from a B8 era platform. I presume it's too difficult to do this using factory modules from later cars? Some A6s I've driven have had keyless go, but not keyless entry, so might be a suitable basis but I imagine the fibre wiring rules it out, unless the security side is wired traditionally?

The way it works in later cars gives the start/stop button different functionality depending on whether you have your foot on the brake or not. Foot off = ignition on. Foot on = engine start.

Don't much like the idea of defeating the mechanical steering lock, which I assume would have to be removed for this kind of install. The B8 has an electronic steering lock.
