ⒺⒾⓈ 🔑 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 SKSNG204D4T remote starter for Mercedes-Benz.
This version is for tip-start vehicles, meaning no push-button start and no Keyless Go. If your Mercedes starts from a button with the key in your pocket, you want the SKSNG204D4 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.

Installed the power liftgate for my basic CX-5 by Lockdown Security over the last weekend. Price is reasonable and the services is excellent. Love the kick sensor which make my life so much easier after grocery shopping. People in the store are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended the place for those who doesn't want to pay for a top model car but need this practical feature of a power back door.
Makes installs much easier! I bought this for my 2012 golf and it was easy to connect everything, cable lengths are well thought out. For my install (base model), some ends were not required so I was able to shorten some parts of it. So glad I didn't have to hardwire everything, with this kit you can revert to stock easily.
