Hello, one of the key benefits for those with a Sprinter RV is now, you can look your doors when it's running. For those that don't know, before, you couldn't lock your doors if the vehicle was running. In NY, it is against the law to leave a vehicle running unattended but if you have a remote start, it is not. That used to drive me crazy. The install was super easy and the alarm place where I got my other remote started wanted about $300 to install, I'm so glad I did it myself. Also, the guys at MidCity are excellent, called them and they will walk you through the process, super easy. Wish they had remote starts for my other cars. While it is expensive, the Drone app is nice.
I know years ago people were upset over cars getting more computers, but you know whats beautiful about these computer systems? Awesome plug and play equipment like these remote start kits and the amp kits like installed in the Ford without having to booger up a nice clean ride. I put my plug and play remote start in going on 5 years ago now, and I'm a little jelly steve, being able to change the settings through the factory cluster on a 3rd party unit is badass as hell. Love the other smaller content you put up, been following around 13 years now and still here for it :)
I love my remote start. I drive a new Hyundai, commuter but when it's 28 outside and you can start your car from the house? Love it. Like the different content Steve, thanks for always replying. Let's us know you care what people think!
Remote start is an absolute must in freezing conditions. I hate sitting in a cold ass vehicle waiting for it to warm up. Plus, having to scrape the windshield fing sucks.
I'm loving these van mod videos! Keep em coming Steve! I really enjoy watching your journey bro, been watching since the tahoe had the first 4 18s and was still that tan color and when you even got rear ended an ill keep watching!
just wondered if your putting a system in this, what's in it now, just factory? probably sounds good. I was hoping you would of hooked up one of those 33s in it but ultimately wondered if your putting some bass in the sprinter?
Great piece of kit. Thanks for doing the video! What’s your work around for sleeping in the van? Do you now have to lock all the doors manually so the alarm isn’t switched on? I’d imagine if you use the default way of locking yourself in the van with the remote, the alarm would go off with any slight movement….
I installed the MidCity Engineering remote start myself and it was super simply. I was worried about the shock sensor if I locked myself it, so I wired switches for shock/tilt, Rev, and valet. I ended up removing all three because, if you ground the valet, it only works if it is on (grounded) and you can turn it off via Drone app. The same with the shock tilt, I wanted to be able to turn it off and on with the switch, so I just left it off in Drone (I don't think it will be useful unless you plan on storing your vehicle). The idle can be toggled through the onscreen menu, off, 1250 and 1500 RPMs. One thing I did notice is, I took my physical key out when you supply one remote and if you unlock the door manually, it set my alarm off. So I have to figure out was that a one off or is that normal. I had to turn it off by the remote.
at the old house, i didn't really need it. It gets cold down there but not like it does up here. NOT like Alaska though! LOL! But cold enough...plus, having the windshield defrosting before i get out there is a major plus. :D
Does anyone know of a way to calibrate the temp sensor, my temp has been off. My Govee Temp sensor is in the back of the van near my lithium system and it is usually off by up to 30 degrees. Example, my car on Drone shows 28 degrees but my Govee sensor shows 52.9 degrees. I try to keep my lithium battery above 42 degrees. I know the sensor is located on the wall under the drivers' seat but I wish I could adjust it to a more center reading.
what's next for the Sprinter NAV TV or something Similar for get your toslink , remote wire and RCAS. be cool if you integrate subs into the sides to keep Cargo space, lots to consider and think about, PS: i've been watching ever since the first tahoe upgrade back in 09. keep up the awesome content and i've have put some beat in the back of my 07 rav4. slaps real nice
Did you know about the aftermarket for the Sprinter and bought it because of the wide array of easily integrated components compared to other vans, or did you buy and then find out?
I program them for 25 minutes on all of them and if it’s a diesel 35 minutes. But they run the full runtime they don’t just shut off if the driver doesn’t tell it to continue running. What would be the point?

Hey looks good. Nothing bets getting in a warm seat on a freezing morning. Now you just need a remote bass knob, and you are set!
I just did the same kit on my 22 sprinter and love it! Def nice to have remote start , high idle and alarm! Keep them sprinter mods comin!
Thank you for your help because I bought mine for my Mercedes-Benz 2023 it works great. I did it myself.
Now thats cool being able to adjust all the aftermarket settings through the factory screen! New tech can be amazing at times!!!

Cant wait to see if you add good sound system in your van. I do own a Sprinter as well.

I can’t hardly wait for the turbo installation so we can burn those stock tires 😁
@@dcraexon already has a turbo...stock. LOL. Turbo v6 Diesel.
@@meade916 got a 4.3 and it was cool when it ran until the transmission solenoids Trip the computer and sent it into default

I did a remote start on my dads Cadenza... Literally plug and play too. Same style interruption one.
Love it, need to get a system like that for my car.
That firstech piece id key. Nice install. Edit i said that before 100% watching. Really good install. A grand? Or close install? Rock The Bells.
I have smart keys on my old fj..works nice I will have to look into this one
Hello, where did you purchase the Firstech? I don't see it on the midcity website. TY John
Google midcity engineering
That went in there like it was factory. Nice!
Great piece of kit. Thanks for doing the video!

I live in Alaska and I totally understand the need for remote start lol 😂

@@meade916 it can be rough at -30°f ,those days nothing gets done lol
@@meade916 keep up the great content bro, I've been watching since you were making chocolate milk back in the day 👍
So what color was the light ?
@@chestermejia321 Blue! haha
Will this work on a 2015?
What’s the model number of the remote start kit and can you put this on the 2023 Sprinter?
Do I need a new alternator if I’m running the Skar 1200.1 d and 2 12” 2400 watt Skar SDR-12’s? I haven’t installed the system yet.
cool setup ...can u get one of these systems for all makes and models..?..
I remember always hearing "Viper armed" back before vehicles came with any factory security.
Do you know if there's a company that makes similar plug and play for GM ? I didn't see a video for your son's suv alarm/remote starter install.
firsttech makes one depending on the year, id recommend them with compustar remotes
What’s good
Shop in sac that you trust get some mids highs done upgrade from stock

I was going to say if they had an app platform it would be amazing. But they do have it they thought of everything
So why not diesel aux heat install? It makes a lot more sense. And it comes with factory setup, and even has a sms-receiver
what does that have to do with this? so random. LOL

Where can I buy this?
What’s the system called? Where can I get it installed?

this is my 2nd sprinter bro....
I just did a remote starter Saturday and I had to connect 26 wires. It was a pain in the ass
Yeah ,extra bonus on that and loud af ouch
G.O.A.T.
That’s awesome
Nice👍👍
From what ive seen all the auto starts run about 10 min before turning off after no response from the driver
I program them for 25 minutes on all of them and if it’s a diesel 35 minutes. But they run the full runtime they don’t just shut off if the driver doesn’t tell it to continue running. What would be the point?
🖤
always hire an expert. you don't go to a dry cleaner to buy a steak dinner..
Remote start not standard after 2029!
@meade916 When is the van getting filled with concrete and steel? ;D
Will it work on mercendes sprinter 2025 170 extended??love your videos❤❤❤gave a like🙌🫶😉😉
