The only starter I know that will not compromise your factory system (and not give up a key fob) is the smartkey starter by midcityengineering. they also offer a 2-way LCD long range version as well.
You can install an alarm, but it would be quite a pain on these newer MBs (mostly starting in 2000). A CAN-BUS interface kit will be required for the alarm to communicate with the MB computer. I don't know what else would be required (never had experience with anyone installing these on MBs). You could do a remote starter but would end up giving up a remote fob (key in a box style), which I DO NOT recommend. You comprise the factory security system and you are leaving the key in the car (which a thief can find and start you car with).

I would be interested in the cost as well, could you please PM me.
It appears that it will work with a car equipt with Keyless Go from the video.
