Viper SmartStart for CLS63

[NEMESIS CLS]

Hi guys,
I've been looking at the Viper SmartStart in order to start/stop the car remotely. They have a GPS option that requires a subscription, and also a BT offering that doesn't need the subscription. The GPS option is far more expensive, albeit has more features, but to be honest i just want the remote start/stop feature. I spoke to one chap yesterday and he said the kit is around £200, but it would cost £1800 yes EIGHTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS to install due to the bypass kit thats needed!!!! He said that Mercs are very complex hence the cost! I am about to contact another installer that Viper recommended, but wondered if anyone has fitted this, or has any knowledge of it?

I would ask @richard if he could help.

Tell me more? Is he a security guru?

If you're just after a device to cut the engine, if stolen, then any number of cheap GPS trackers without subscription can do it.

I use an iMars one for a tenner on a motorcycle and it works really well. There is nothing fancy about it though

Thanks, bud. No this is a remote start/stop and lock/unlock a device. Granted that i can lock/unlock with the MercedesMe App, but also want the remote start/stop feature if poss

a sub 95k car Car should have had this as standard IMO. But if i am honest, my youngest keeps on at me as he's seen this on YouTube and wants me to have it on the merc!!! LOL

Why?

I had it on a hire car once a chevvy tahoe. I couldn’t see the point.
I worked with a guy that had it retro fittrd to his izuzu rodeo?? When I adked him why he said “on cold mornings it was all warm snd defrosted when he get in”.

Have seen this feature many years ago and it can be handy. The system I vaguely remember would allow the vehicle to be started remotely which was ideal in the winter as you could warm/demist the car but if someone tried to jump in and drive away, it would cut the engine on pressing the accelerator.

I like gadgets, even some of the gimmicky ones so go for it but do be aware of insurance problems etc as mentioned above.

I have a bridge for sale, going cheap. Joins England to Wales. Special price because it is now free to drive across. 2 to choose from. I can get you best price if you buy both.

Cash only.

Plus MB forum member discount.

Used to be a must have option at one time to let turbos cool down after a hard run.
Try execspec at Nottingham they do a lot of this type of stuff and are AMG guys.......
