2017 C43 - Remote Start Canada

Ok.... So MB does not seem to offer any remote starter options. It is cold here. -29C, -40 with wind. I live in the Canadian cold prairie. Come on!!!

Locally -the premium aftermarket shop does not have anything that can be installed.
Any leads would be appreciated.(MBrace -or whatever it is called - is not offered up here in Canada)

But have you done that on a C43? The premium shop in town doesn’t have any solutions. They did a friends’s MacLaren - but can’t do the C43?!?

I don't know if this is your problem, but i believe that a minimum of 5 gallons is required in the car to remote start.

Except it doesn’t work at all in Canada. It would be so much more useful here!

I have not installed a remote start on my c43. I kinda think now that it would be tough to do this as the mercedes ecu may not allow for it. I use mercedes me, but sometimes takes a long time like 5 minutes as it runs through its 'security check'. CHeers

I wish it were a simple problem as that.

Nope...full tank, gas cap on tight, windows up, doors locked, trunk closed.

My remote start still works, only 50% of the time. I've found most the failures occur on the really cold mornings...as in the servers at Mercedes Me are being over-whelmed from all the requests.

is this a programmable item for the car, or do we need some hardware (here in Canada) to get this working? Would be very nice to be able to warm car up before getting to garage.

It is a service from MB. The car connects to the network. Not available here in Canada. :-(
