Hi, I drive a 2019 Mercedes GLC that I have to pay a subscription for in order to use the remote starter…I know most are doing this but I HATE it…not only bc I hate being “app dependent” but bc I notice that if the gas tank is less than half a tank, it will tell me that there is low fuel and cannot start. I NEVER had this issue when I used the Viper engine starters and had a simple remote to turn it on…

So, this may be a dumb question, but can I install my own remote starter over an existing one? Thanks Everyone

    I don’t know why people are going off because its a Mercedes. 2019 Ford escape costs roughly the same amount. I have a remote start on my buick but don’t need to pay. There has to be more to the service then just starting your car

      Thank you kind man! People chewing me out bc I said Mercedes when literally a Honda Pilot (which I considered) now costs the same price more or less from what I paid a few years ago in 2019 once some discounts went into effect due to my profession…Today A Honda Pilot EX- L msrp’s pretty much what I paid in 2019 for a Mercedes!

      And though I wouldnt buy a Mercedes again, the majority of car manufacturers are going this see this as a great money making scheme and of course if one car brand does it, the others will follow suit… but based on everyone’s snarky responses Its like I said, I drive a Maserati or Bugatti…
