Remote Starter Install
Had a technician friend of mine install a Viper 791xv alarm with a remote starter kit. Got the alarm installed but couldnt get the remote starter to work due to the transponder security of the ML320. We tried installing a universal transponder kit that uses a spare key but it wouldnt work unless you had the key in the ignition. Has anyone had the same problem and came up with a working solution?

We used a Universal Transponder Immobiliser Bypass Kit in which my installer used my extra key. For some reason, whenever we tried to remote start the car, it would not start. However, when I took the key with the transponder and put it up against the ignition, the car then started. I dont know why it turned out that way. I really would like the remote start feature if we could ever get it work. I purchased the universal transponder immobiliser bypass kit from Pepboys. Maybe the one I used wasnt the best, are there better brands out there?
