Unlimited Range Remote Start Upgrade for 2016 Mercedes C300

04/15/2021 By John Schwartz

One of our repeat clients from Anchorage brought her 2016 Mercedes C300 to us to get a remote start system installed. She wanted to be able to start the vehicle from indoors and have it warm up while she got ready to leave. It was a push-to-start vehicle, and she wanted to be sure all of the factory systems were unaffected by the installation. No problem!

We selected a Compustar RFX-2WG15-FM combined with a vehicle-specific integration module from Mid City Engineering that provides plenty of range from the included remote, but also allows control of the system from anywhere she has her phone via the DroneMobile app. With this integration, one of the OEM key fobs had to be sacrificed to integrate the new system., but the Mercedes push-to-start ignition system still performs the same way, and you’d never be able to tell anything on the vehicle was ever modified.

2021 Mercedes Sprinter Van Gets Unlimited-Range Remote Start Upgrade

03/30/2021 By John Schwartz

One of our repeat clients brought his 2021 Mercedes Sprinter to our team to get a remote start system installed. He was looking to be able to start the Sprinter from indoors or long distances, with full control from his smartphone. We jumped at the chance to help him out!

We selected a Compustar T12 Remote Kit combined with a Mid City Engineering vehicle-specific harness that gives him plenty of range to start the Mercedes from anywhere using the DroneMobile smartphone app. The vehicle’s push-to-start ignition system still performs the same way it always has, but required an additional charge for the integration to make the factory security and theft prevention systems work perfectly. With this integration, one of the OEM keys had to be sacrificed to integrate the new system. Our technicians integrated everything so you would never see anything out of the ordinary other than the new remote control fobs.

Two-Way with Extra Range for 2013 Mercedes E550

04/04/2016 By John Schwartz

A client came to Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security with his 2013 Mercedes E550. He was looking for a two-way remote start with about a half-mile of range. Two-way means he will be notified when the vehicle is started, locked or unlocked through an LED light, audible tone or through an LCD screen. He decided on the RF-2WG9 because it is a simple two-way with 3,000 feet of range. After he decided which unit he would like, we performed our install.

We start every install with a check-in using an iPad, which includes taking photos of the exterior, checking the functions of the vehicle and performing a battery test. Then we put a battery charger on the vehicle with a fender cover to protect the vehicle’s paint. Our tech then preps the install by soldering every connection, protecting each connection with electrical tape and using Tesa tape to clean up the install. After the install, our tech vacuums the vehicle and then another tech checks out the vehicle. Our sales team teaches our client how to use the new remote and provides any additional information the client needs to know.
