I have not been able to figure this one out given that almost everything MBZ works on vacuum. Any thoughts, successes, failures? They all claim to work with diesels but the extent that I can see is provision for a glowplug delay/enable. Cheers Dan

 

I have installed remote entry/alarm on my 83 300D and 87 300SDL. 300SDL/300SD is easy. 300D is more difficult. Not remote starter as it may be tricky with glow plug relay.

 

It would appear that if you hook the alarm remote lock/unlocker wiring in parallel with the contacts in the trunk lock vacuum operator that it should be easy to install the system. Not sure about the remote start yet. Cheers Dan

 

I got a starter in my diesel e300 , works fine ..... most starters have a setting for diesel ...the starter would wait about 10 sec before crank car , also u can connect to the tach wire, ,,,,, mine works both ways....

 

just go to one of those speakers and window tint shops. most of them do remote starters
