J8A Remote Startable
When running my VIN in www.lastvin.com, one of the feature codes for my car is J8A DSM STAR1 FBS4 REMOTE STARTABLE. Does anyone know what this means? Can the car be coded to use a remote start?

MBrace/Mercedes Me access, I don’t believe it’s supported for 2013-16 cars.

Hey JettaRed, in our experience, we've unfortunately found it to mean nothing in the end, as there generally isn't a factory solution for vehicles with that code listed.
Out of curiosity, what year and model vehicle do you have? We likely cover it with a superior remote starter solution to that of the factory option.
