Remote Start Dealer Installed?
For the past 3 years I have been searching for an aftermarket remote start for for 15 - C400. I've researched them all including Mid City who said today they are going into R&D on a solution for this model but wont know either way until the end of spring. I called my dealer and they said they have a solution using an MB part that would cost $2,200 installed. Living in New England i am really considering it but wanted to check here first. Does anyone know what this part they are referring to? Is it plug and play or do i need my car programmed? Any info would help....thanks!

Mid City Engineering has been saying since 2015 that the remote start was coming soon, but it never has. Everything else I had seen said it just wasn't possible. This was one of the big reasons why I complained to corporate MB because when I was sold my 2015 I had it in writing that I would get remote start, and when that didn't happen I made them buy the car back and purchased a 2016....which I ironically also regret ha ha.

I was pissed myself when i downloaded the stupid mbrace app and only saw remote door locks. i am going to go to the dealer today to see what their $2200 solution is and if i can just buy the part and do it myself.

For those that hate on Best Buy, don't. Their installers are well trained, and Best Buy has enough money and proper insurance that if they mess your car up, they'll pay for it without issue.

We are highly suspect of a claim like the one just mentioned above, as there is way more that goes into the design of a working and fully-integrated starter in a Mercedes vehicle.
Hence, this is why it has taken as long as it has for us to provide a solution for the 2015 (and newer) C class, amongst other models as well, such as GLC, S class, etc...
However, it will probably be good news to all of you that have been waiting forever for our solution, as we are shooting to start shipping this solution in the next 2 weeks. It's been a long time coming, but we're literally just around the corner from releasing this.
If you'd like to purchase this starter for your vehicle, send us a PM with your contact information, and we can get you sorted with one as soon as we're ready to.
