Mercedes Benz Remote Start finally available!

Firstech, the manufacturer of Compustar, has just released a new product that will remote start new Mercedes Benz vehicles! In the past it was impossible to impliment remote start on these vehicles due to being nearly impossible to replicate a laser cut key (Mercedes Benz Anti-theft Feature)

Firstech has released and is available on the market as of NOW, units that are plug and play, no wire cutting, does not affect warranty on your vehicle!

Even better features such as, integrates into the factory remote for remote start! shows "runtime" in factory speedometer message display.

If you want longer range, you can add a Compustar remote and antenna for further range! Plug and play as well!

Want even further range and gps tracking? Add the Compustar Drone, plug and play into the Firstech remote start product! control remote start from your iPhone and soon to be Blackberry and Android! GPS Tracking your vehicle as well, amongst many other tracking features.

From what I hear, they are not exactly cheap BUT, the fact that you can get them at all is pretty awesome. I think we'll be ordering some of these in the very near future!

Hmm, thats true in a way, but I believe MidCity Engineering have already developed this over a year ago! And they have it on sale but the price does not budge at all.

I am interested in this for my mother's GLK because it's parked outside and its cold during the winters!

Hope you will have price soon!

these prices should be competitive to MidCity engineering, but with local canadian warranty and support!

i've bought stuff from midcity before they're great products but at the same time, should it fail, I have to mail it back to chicago, wait for them to process the defective product and then mail it back, thats a lot of down time.
