I am now looking at how to wire it up so that so that aftermarket alarm controls OEM alarm and central locking and disarms factory alarm when remote starting but leaves the door locked. This looks a bit tricky due to vacuum system. Might need to opt for the wiring that unlocks the door as well when remote starting to keep things simple, it will shut the engine off anyway and sound the alarm if somebody opens doors without deactivating system first. Not ideal as it does not stop somebody from stealing stuff from the car. Need to think a bit more about it, should be possible to do it properly somehow. Also should be a bit simpler on A6 as its all electric central locking system.

On the second thought I might ditch the factory alarm function and just use central locking part of the factory system, this way I will loose ultrasonic interior monitoring but something to consider
