RE: jump start terminal similar to what the Audi 5000 has in it's engine

Any decent aftermarket parts supplier can provide remote terminals for jumper cables, they are commonly used on tow trucks, race cars, and some street rods and customs. They work well as long as you install them properly.

Chris, if you can't jump your Audi from the terminal in the engine compartment you either need a better set of cables, or are doing something wrong. I agree that Audi could have made the terminal easier to get to, but they do work if you have good cables.
