This is the Mid City Engineering SKSNG204D3 remote starter for Mercedes-Benz.

Mercedes-Benz is one of the hardest vehicles to fit a remote starter to. The mainstream brands largely don't cover it, because the Electronic Ignition Switch and the FBS immobiliser don't behave like anything else on the road. Mid City Engineering builds solutions specifically for that gap.

This is one of the simpler installs in the range. No EIS modification and no key sacrifice required. Check the fitment table below to confirm your vehicle. If your Mercedes needs the D4 version, see the SKSNG204D4 for push-button start or the SKSNG204D4T for key start.

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, heated seat threshold, 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.

Ships pre-programmed and backed by a 4 year warranty, well beyond what most remote starters carry.
