Can I Install A Remote Starter On 1998 E320??
Can I Install A Remote Starter On 1998 E320?? As we all know, mercedes has the little coded way of starting a car. Has anyone with a mercedes close to my year been able to install a remote car starter??? Thank you for your time.

Popsicle...I want to see a modern MB that works with a 3rd party remote starter. You show me the proof and I'll send you $100.
MBs wont start without the keyfob in the ignition. (Lexus style RF chips an exception.) It has to do with encryption. Hot-wiring will not bypass it.
I am not saying you cannot start a MB without the correct physical key. Even a successful hacker has to supply the correct encryption key electronically since he lacks physical key.

What you actually need is a third coded key. Use this key in aiding the remote starter. Wrap wire around the key (5-6 times)and than around the lock cylinder antenna pick up area (5-6times). Then use a rely to connect this wire only during remote start. This will allow the vehicle to see a coded key and think there is a key in the ignition. Cut the metal portion of the key off to render the key useless. Hope this helps.

You can purchase a bypass kit, you will need one key always inside that kit so it can send the code to the car.
UPDATE: Sorry, I forgot your car's model year, the bypass kit won't work on your car, it will work onlyon cars that did not have the smart keys, a 1997 or less.
