Question remote start / apple car play / android auto

not really sure how this works but... i have a 2015 c300 and running into the issue that no1 has a solution for remote starting still -- question is, is it possible to remote start the car if i retrofitted apple carplay or android auto thus negating me having to wait to get a remote start option?

Seconding Star4life here. Remote start has nothing to do with android auto/apple play hardware. It's a shame midcity engineering never came up with an option. That was why I *****ed at my dealer and made them buy back my 2015. They promised me in writing it would have remote start and it clearly did not. I'll be fair though, the only times I use it is in the coldest parts of winter here in the NE. I've barely even used it all summer.

Hey guys -- we just wanted to say (since we were mentioned in conversation) that the 2015 (and onward) C Class remote start coverage is projected to be available around the holidays, in a few months.
Hope you can hang in there a little longer!
