ⒺⒾⓈ 🔑 This solution requires EIS modification and a key sacrifice
Mercedes-Benz vehicles use an Electronic Ignition Switch, and this solution needs that
module physically modified before the remote starter will work.
This is not a job to attempt yourself. The modification is delicate, and
getting it wrong can brick the vehicle — the car will not start, and recovering from that
is expensive. For that reason this work is handled by a specialist.
A key sacrifice is also required. One of your working keys stays
permanently inside the vehicle for the life of the installation, so if you only have
two keys, budget for cutting a spare.
This is the Mid City Engineering SKSNG204D4 remote starter for Mercedes-Benz.
This version is for push-button start vehicles with Keyless Go or Keyless Start. If your Mercedes uses a key you insert and turn, you want the SKSNG204D4T instead. Ordering the wrong one is an expensive mistake, so check before you buy. See the fitment table below for exact coverage.
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, cooled seats and rear defroster based on outside temperature thresholds you set.
Programmable from the steering wheel controls: run time, number of starts, temperature thresholds, light flashes, timer start.
Works with Compustar DRONE and Directed SmartStart smartphone controllers and RF remotes for longer range.
Two-way factory alarm notifications when paired with DRONE.
Plug-and-play with the Compustar DAS shock and tilt sensor, and with the full Compustar CM7000 alarm.
Integrates with the factory wiring rather than cutting into it, so your vehicle warranty stays intact.
About the EIS modification
This system needs the vehicle's Electronic Ignition Switch physically modified, and one of your keys permanently sacrificed. The EIS work is delicate enough that we have it done by a specialist rather than attempting it in-house. Add our EIS jumper installation service to your order and we'll handle it.
Backed by a 4 year warranty, well beyond what most remote starters carry.

Testimonials
Exceptionally Helpful
They were exceptionally helpful despite me going down the DIY route having never installed a remote starter before. There was no T harness kit available for my vehicle which led to a few questions which they thankfully were very helpful with. Mission remote start was successful and I'm super pleased.

Responsive, Easy to Use
Have been using Lockdown Security for years. Just ordered the fifth remote starter from them and installed myself. Their website is easy to use and intuitive. They are responsive and more than willing to answer questions for the DIY customers. Would strongly recommend to anyone looking to purchase a remote starter.

doesn't work as advertised. Been dealing with MYCAR2 technical since install and still not able to view my dash cam videos in the MYCAR2 app. Way over priced for what you get
The guy at the counter was thorough and friendly. The person who worked on our new computer system found a way to save us about half the quoted price! We were super impressed with their integrity and now my husband will use them for some work as well.
Very pleased with the on site install of a Viofo Dashcam. Brian, our installer took the time to explain the various components and installation process. Very knowledgeable,personable,polite and on time for the booked appointment. Well worth the fee for installation at your doorstep. Thanks again!!!
Rapid delivery. The T-connector kit renderes it easy to install needing only one splice and a hood switch. Works great. Awesome that it's made in Canada.
