remote start

[gchild]

Now that its getting colded (had to use some de-icer the other day) is it possible to get a remote engine start module that works with the existing benz alarm/remote fob set up?

has anyone done this?

I believe a certain James Bond did have this feature some time ago, but it was on a BMW.

Only an aftermarket alarm system can do this as far as I know. Try Clifford they have a few systems that do that.

With many cars including MB the car cannot be locked with the key in the ignition, once started the car can lock itself up making it difficult to get in.

I presume you want a remote start to be able to warm the car up before you get into it. Try this (300163420416) on eBay

Or unlocked via the key buttons when the key is in the ignition. Caught me out first time I picked someone up, when the key was in first press = drivers door only mode, had them stood at the side of the kerb while I fumbled about trying to figure out why the rest of the doors wouldn't open by pressing the key buttons.

Gchild - I would have expected the DAS/Imobiliser to make this difficult on a MB (starting remotely without the key in) however these guys http://www.a1electric.com/alarm2.htm list DAS equipped MBs on their bypass module compatability charts.
