FS: Mid City Smartkey Remote Starter with Drone Module

For Sale is a Mid City Engineering Smartkey Starter (SKS164 w/ KG20 Keyless Go option) for 2006-2012 GL, ML, and R Class vehicles. This was removed from my 2012 GL in working order. The previous owner had it installed at their Mercedes dealer but I didn't have a need for it.

This is a plug and play remote starter that is compatible with Keyless Go cars as well as non-Keyless Go. The module essentially piggy-backs into the ignition switch and you use the 'panic' button on the remote to start the car remotely.

Additionally, the system comes with a Drone DR-1000 Mobile control module which allows the use of a smartphone app to further extend the range of the starter. The app allows you to start the car from your phone, which requires a $49.99 per year fee through Drone Mobile.

Details on both items can be found here:

http://www.midcityengineering.com/smartkey-starter

http://www.dronemobile.com/

Included are the modules, all wiring in good shape, and installation instructions. I estimate installation will take about 2 hours and doesn't require any special skills, just a bit of patience.

$600 for the Mid City Unit
$200 for the Drone Module

I'd prefer to sell them as a pair. This is a significant discount from the nearly $1500 price you would pay new.

Photos of the actual unit are here:

The wires at the input/output plug seem to be cut very short.

You don't need those wires which is why the original installer cut them. This unit is built by the manufacturer using standard, off-the-shelf components, so there are a ton of extra pins that aren't used. The unit is 100% functional.
