Hey guys, I am looking for a remote starter for my 2015 GL 450. Any recommendation? Any one know if the MB dealership will do it? How much does it cost? Can I install it on the smart key?

Do a web search for Mid City Engineering

i got the Mid City Engineering unit and installed w/ the Drone Mobile module so I can remote start from my phone. it's pretty decent, and i don't think there are many other options out there. it's also not cheap.

my main gripe is if you have Keyless Go (P2) package, you have to remember to hit the Start button before stepping on the brake once you get in the car. If you do not do that, it just shuts down. And when you remember to do that, there is a 5 second pause for the car to "start up" and the A/C shuts off during that pause (which is usually the reason you want remote start in the first place). just a slight nuisance though.

oh i forgot to add - MB dealers in my area don't provide the kits or do the install. i went to a high end auto electronics shop to have it done.

also, yes, you can also remote start from your key by pressing the panic button once. however you must be in range of the car with the key, which is why i opted for the Drone Mobile so i can start it and let it run for 15 minutes when the the car has been sitting in direct sun all day.
