remote starter
hey all, this is my first time posting on here....i have a new E550 coupe coming in feb, and im wondering if anyone has had any luck installing a remote car starter with everything still working properly......also, if u can get the dvd player to play movies anytime, not just in park, (or however its setup) and if anyone was able to disable the seatbelt notification.....(safety first).....thanks in advance!....

Not sure if I understand the question but... when your car is sitting outside in -20degC temperature... starting the car 15 minutes to warm up the inside is the benefit.

Yes, $1,500 is a little too much..usually it cost about $300-$400 for regular car. That's why I get out of my house, start the engine and go back for 10 min... i did it 20 times already during this winter. Every time i divide $1500 by number of times to figure out economic sense of this option ..LOL..

The $1500 engine heater must have referred to an AUX heater (Webasto, Eberspächer etc.) which first warms up the interior once the interior heating does not need the full AUX heater power, it starts to heat the engine. An electric engine heater that is popular in Northern Europe costs a fraction of this $1500.

Do you have keyless go? I was advised when I took delivery ('10 E550) and asked for a remote starter that MB strongly discourages them particularly with keyless go.
Please keep us posted if you find a solution

The manual for my last car (a Mazda) said that the engine should not be idled to warm up, but should be started and driven right away. I just "suffer" for a few minutes until the heater kicks on.
