ⒺⒾⓈ 🔑 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.
Add our EIS jumper installation service
to your order and we'll arrange it.
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 SKSNG205D4 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, and this is what we fit in the shop.
Fits the 2015 to 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the 2016 to 2019 GLC. See the fitment table below to confirm your exact year and model.
This system also includes alarm functionality alongside remote start, so you get security features as well as a warm car.
Professional installation strongly recommended. This system needs an EIS jumper fitted and one of your keys permanently sacrificed. Both are covered in the notes above. For the EIS work, we send your EIS to a local specialist (same-day to one-day turnaround) or to Mid City Engineering (about a week).
Backed by a 4 year warranty, well beyond what most remote starters carry.
