Has anyone done a Car Starter on their ML63?

Since it gets a little cold up here in Canada, I am wondering if anyone has an automatic car starter installed in their ML63.
Is it possible with the key less go option?

I was thinking the compustar would be a good one and I wonder if they have a bypass module that would work for the key less go. Am I far off?

Hi guys,

The remote start is not the way to go, like Elijah said.
You should consider Webasto or similar pre-heater that works on your car's fuel:
http://www.webasto.com/products/en/3115_3422.html

I have two products installed for this purpose, one that works on electricity and requires a place to plug-in the car and then this fuel operated heater.
Both have timer, so you can choose when the car is warmed up and fuel one also has remote. This works up to approx 0.5mi away in open space

It's pretty rediculous that a $90K 2008 model SUV doesn't have a factory remote starter.

My wife's $29k 2007 Chevy Equinox has one..

i posted earlier in the ml or gl section about a webasto heating system. Way more efficient than starting your engine.
