FAQ's

Why is this so much more than other remote starts on the market?

Unfortunately Mercedes-Benz uses a different type of key system to start the vehicle. Basically there is an infrared "handshake" between the ignition cylinder and the key itself when inserted into the ignition system or "over the air" for the KeylessGo vehicles. This hash encryption is very complicated to decipher and compounded by the ignition switch starting the vehicle via data, the component parts needed to remote start the vehicle is expensive. Unlike other vehicles that use separate wires to power the ignition, accessories, and the starter from the key cylinder, Mercedes-Benz communicates via a set of data wires that tell the modules to turn on and authorize starting of the vehicle. This explanation is "in a nutshell" as they whole process is very complicated. The Mercedes-Benz remote start system we use is made up of the same parts that the manufacturer uses to communicate throughout the vehicle, thus increasing the price of the remote start. We are not taxing the Mercedes-Benz owners for the increased price of the remote start because you drive a Mercedes-Benz, cost is reflected by the high cost of remote start module itself.

Will this void my warranty? 

Absolutely not! This remote start unit when properly installed will integrate with the vehicle flawlessly. However, if you take it to someone unfamiliar with the Mercedes-Benz vehicle electronics and they destroy something, then that part would not be covered by your warranty. We go to great lengths to ensure your vehicle is properly integrated and as a member of the Collection Auto Group, we specialize in Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
