🔑 This solution requires a key sacrifice
One of your working keys must be permanently mounted inside the vehicle, where it
satisfies the factory immobilizer during a remote start. That key is
given up for the life of the installation, so if you only have two keys,
budget for cutting a spare before you book.
It sounds worse than it is. The key sits hidden and untouched, your factory security is
unaffected, and on these vehicles it is the only method available.

This is the Mid City Engineering SKSNG190D4 remote starter for Mercedes-AMG.
Fits the 2015 to 2019 AMG GT, GT S, GT C and GT R with push-button start.
This is a fully plug and play kit, and no EIS modification is needed — a key sacrifice is the only requirement, as noted above.
What it does
- Starts from your factory key fob out of the box, using the panic button or a lock-unlock-lock sequence. No extra remote to carry.
- Automatically turns on the OEM heated seats and rear defroster based on outside temperature thresholds you set.
- Cooled seats can also be automated where the vehicle has them, though that feature has to be programmed through the Compustar firmware programmer.
- Programmable from the steering wheel controls: run time, number of starts, temperature thresholds, light flashes.
- Works with Compustar DRONE and Directed SmartStart smartphone controllers and Compustar RF remotes for longer range. Not compatible with AM remotes.
- Integrates with the factory wiring rather than cutting into it, so the vehicle's wiring is left as Mercedes built it.
Backed by a 4 year warranty, well beyond what most remote starters carry.
