anyone have experience with the mercedes smart key starter?
for those that don't know, the mercedes smart key starter is a plug and play module for our cars that allow us to remote start our cars with our factory keys and control from our smart phones. i'm getting it next week for an unbelievable price compared to its 799 retail +install price unless someone tells me they had bad experience with it. thanks in advance

That's awesome. I'm actually getting it tomorrow. They do not mess up your starter, we install remote start alarms every day.

but yea it's chicago based, they won't sell it to you for less than $799, look at their website for authorized dealers in the area if you want it. don't pay more than $399 installed.
