Is Mercedes Me the only way to remote start the car? Also, I have a 2013. So, is Mercedes Me even an opotion?

I've got a 2017 and I don't believe that Mercedes Me will remotely start my car. Hope I'm wrong.

No remote start for the 2013 or 2017.

What's "J8A DSM STAR1 FBS4 REMOTE STARTABLE" refer to on my datacard?

That seems to be primarily for MBrace (Mercedes Me) access. Remote start is not supported for these models in the US. Our MY17 didn't support it but perhaps MY18 or 19 does. Not that I needed it as it is one of the most complained options of MB cars. Check with Streamliner on his Mercedes Me app for MY19 compatibility...

I don't need it either, just wondered what that "feature" on the data card is. I work from home mostly, and when it'd cold (or hot) out, I run outside and "remote start" my wife's car for her about 10 minutes before she leaves for work.

Has anyone installed this remote start yet for their Mercedes?? This looks like a very legitimate solve for a remote start system...

No one wants to enter their hot or freezing Mercedes. It can take 15 minutes for the temperature inside to become comfortable.

The solution is to Remote Control your Mercedes cliMATEŽ. Our cliMATEŽ module enables you to remotely start and stop the Mercedes by controlling the vehicle's ignition system and its heating or cooling.

We know that without cliMATEŽ the temperature in your car will be so unpleasant that you might ask your stunt double to save you the trouble and start the car for you.
