SKS211 installation help needed

Hi everyone,

I'm having problems installing SKS211 into my european 2008 SLK 280 w/o keyless go. Would appreciate ANY hint or contact (sales@midcityengineering.com pointed me to a video of the activation procedure I already new and couldn't say more).

Here are the details of what I do after connecting the T-harness (there's a video of the following actions in case someone is interested):

  • Turning the valet switch on: all 3 leds flash a couple of times and then stay on
  • Starting the car with a key: the 'middle' led flashes 9 times and then stays off
  • Running the engine for about a minute without errors on the dash
  • Stopping the engine, removing the key
  • Trying activation: 5 times to acc and back, then removing the key and pressing lock to activate the 'lock-unlock-lock' sequence for fobs without the panic button
    • No external lights flash here. sales@midcity said sometimes flashing may be absent
  • Trying lock-unlock-lock does nothing
Any hint or idea? Any reference on the led codes? Any experience with SLK or SKS211? Please


Many thanks in advance,
George

We've been working on finally getting a remote starter system for all you MB owners out there who like me hate the cold and dont have heated parking. Well we have been diligently at work for the past few months and that work has paid off. Here is a little demo video:
