Imagine stepping into a pre-cooled or pre-heated Mercedes-Benz, ready to drive in perfect comfort, no matter the weather outside. With a Mercedes Smart Key Remote Start system, this dream becomes a daily reality. Specifically designed for Mercedes and Freightliner Sprinter vans, this 100% plug-and-play system offers unparalleled convenience, security, and comfort, all while seamlessly integrating with your vehicle’s existing features.
Effortless Remote Start with Your Factory Key Fob
Forget about bulky aftermarket remotes. This innovative system is engineered to work directly with your Mercedes factory key fob. Simply press ‘lock-unlock-lock’, and your Sprinter will spring to life, allowing you to pre-condition the cabin temperature before you even get inside. This feature alone provides a significant upgrade in daily convenience, especially during harsh weather conditions.
OEM-Style High Idle for Enhanced Performance
For professionals who rely on their Sprinter vans for work, especially in demanding conditions, maintaining optimal engine temperature is crucial. This remote start system includes an OEM-style high idle feature, activated automatically upon remote start. This ensures your engine is running at the ideal RPM, even when idling, which is particularly beneficial in cold climates or when powering auxiliary equipment. Best of all, no dealer programming is required for this feature, making installation truly hassle-free. You can also easily toggle high idle on and off manually using the turn signal stalk with the parking brake engaged, providing complete control.
Advanced Security with Integrated Alarm System
More than just a remote starter, this system also incorporates a comprehensive OEM-style alarm system. It enhances your vehicle’s security without requiring any additional hardware. For even greater protection, you have the option to add external sensors like shock, tilt, or vehicle movement detectors, such as the Compustar DAS sensor. Furthermore, the system is compatible with full external Compustar or Directed alarms, offering a tiered approach to security enhancement. Note: When integrating an external Compustar alarm, the factory key fob might no longer initiate remote start, necessitating an external remote or smartphone control for remote start functionality. However, the OEM fob will still arm and disarm the alarm system.
Smart Connectivity for Ultimate Control
Take control of your Sprinter from anywhere with seamless integration with Compustar Drone and Directed Smart Start smartphone interfaces. These platforms offer extended range and advanced features, including 2-way notifications for both factory and external alarms. Imagine receiving alerts directly on your phone if your alarm is triggered, providing peace of mind wherever you are. For even greater security, an anti-theft/anti-carjacking feature is included via the phone app, allowing you to remotely shut down the vehicle at 0 MPH in emergency situations.
Customizable Comfort and Functionality
This Mercedes smart key remote start system goes beyond basic start/stop functionality. It offers optional start/stop/status out triggers for integration with external devices like battery monitors, compressor monitors, or temperature sensors. This opens up possibilities for automating various vehicle functions based on external conditions. Moreover, the system intelligently manages comfort features by automatically activating heated seats, cooled seats, and the rear defroster based on programmable outside temperature thresholds. These customizable features ensure optimal comfort and convenience tailored to your specific needs and preferences.
Seamless Plug-and-Play Installation and User-Friendly Programming
Designed for ease of installation, this 100% plug-and-play system requires no wire cutting or complex modifications, preserving your vehicle’s warranty. Installation can be completed in as little as 15 minutes, saving you time and installation costs. Programming and customization are equally user-friendly, accessible directly through your steering wheel controls. Adjust parameters such as run time, temperature thresholds for heated/cooled seats and rear defroster, light flashes, timer start, and sensor sensitivity (when adding a Compustar DAS sensor) with ease.
