Probably a specialty item?

Alrighty... so i just talked to a friend at Best Buy and he said that putting remote start into my car is no problem whatsoever... he says its a pretty routine thing that people need. So im gonna have the Clifford Matrix 2.1 RS installed... The remote start setup is like $500... but you gotta love employee discount

It's called a bypass...not sure if it would be on their website because it's not really a product...it's somthing installers use.
Directed doesn't sell off of the net so you need to use an installer...
It's not like you say "Oh my god the new 4568 Bypass is here!" It's just an addon part if your car needs it.

Hmm, not to be a nay-sayer, but I am a rep for a couple of auto security manufacturers, and have sold DEI and Clifford for the last 12 years, and I know of no bypass for the INFRARED keys. (which the w203 uses)
The sealed boxes you are referring to are plentiful, but only for "transponder" keys which use RF (radio frequency) signals. Such as ford (DEI part# 555F) and Honda (555H I belive).
Hopefully I am wrong, since I would love to see a remote start on these cars! Lemme know!
Cris
P.S. The wheels below (SSR 18") are for sale, please PM me if interested!
