2014 ML550 V8 BiTurbo - Remote Start?
Hi,
I am a Mercedes Newbie. I just purchased a 2014 ML550 V8 BiTurbo. I did not do all my homework. The car is awesome with 20k miles but unfortunately does not have Keyless Go or Keyless Entry.
I am trying to buy a Remote Starter, but Mercedes said they do not have one they can install. It's not the end of the world, but does anyone know or can suggest a solution without risking issues with the vehicle?
Thanks for your help.

Check out Mid City Engineering.
Their product works with and without keyless go, at least for 2012 model.
I have keyless go and entry and their product was super easy to install and works like a charm. You should contact them and ask. Everything was plug and play, took me an hour max I'd say.

I had Midcity Engineering unit installed this summer on my 2014 ML350. It does not matter if you have Keyless go or not. Depending on when it was built will determine if you need a third key because of the DAS4 upgrade that year. It is easier to install on Keyless go because you don't have run the KG wire from the back seat. Call them, they are super nice guys. They close at 6pm cst. but they stayed on the phone with me until almost 7:00 helping me reconfigure my settings to what I preferred. Now my seat heaters turn on also when starting the car remotely and it's below 41 degrees. Just a great unit to buy

Thank you. So I did email them yesterday and they indeicsted their existing products are not compatible with the 2014 ML550 configuration. Perhaps it's unique compared to other models. Idk. Who did you speak to?

I bought a DAS4 unit from them for my 2014 Ml350.
So they should have one for yours.
