Remote Start Your Benz Old School Way

  • A subscriber complained he couldn't lock his Benz and leave it to warm up in the winter since it doesn't have the remote start feature. His keyless Go remote won't let him get out of his car and lock it if the engine is running so Carquestions finds a solution to trick the car so it can be locked with no one inside and the engine running.

    I use the valet key to lock the drivers door on my "MAR-cedes". (all other doors already locked naturally)
    None of that reaching thru the window jazz to lock. When I'm ready to go, I use the valet key once again to unlock.
    Thanks for the Video :)

      Don't be jealous in the least - most people that own these cars pull their hair out over the many expensive problems they frequently have. If you have lots of money to burn buy one they drive beautifully - if not buy 2 used ones, drive one and keep the other for spare parts

    Remote starting necessarily means you're not in the car when it happens. That's kinda fundamental to the concept. If "old school" means starting a car normally, then I must be missing the point.

    I hate remote start for a couple of reasons. First - It is a waste of gas, every AM I see cars idling on their driveways for half an hour while owners have breakfast. You only need 30 seconds to make a car ready to drive, put on a coat while it warms up. Second - Metal cracks easily when it is cold. You may be warming up the engine and interior but the rest of the drivetrain is still frozen! Now you hit the street and floor the car and rip out the ice cold transmission. Been there , done that.

    Okay, I believe the Mercedes Benz key fob has a valet key that you could use to lock and unlock the car manually aside from locking and unlocking the glove box and the trunk-Why? Would you go through the trouble of this process when you can press the lock button while the car is runny, then since the drivers door is still unlocked remove the valet key from the fob and lock the drivers door manually? by the way this is a rhetorical question?

    Instead of all the nonsense lock the car with the key and unlock with key what I do with my 2000 s500

    First of all you shouldn't let your car sit idling while the engine warms up. It's not good for the engine, or for your wallet or for the environment (I realise amercans couldn't give a shit about the environment but still worth mentioning).
    So really this is a massively convoluted way to warm your car up a few degrees. Far better to just scrap off any snow from the windows, get into it and start driving. it will warm up quicker once you're on the road.
    Alternatively get a Mercedes with the 'pre-heat' option like the C350E with which you can set it on a timer or turn on/off the heating via your mobile app.

      Guess you never lived in a cold climate eh? - tough to drive with fogged up windows

      I live in the UK. I think we know a thing or two about cold weather. Regardless far better to get in your car and drive than run your window and screw up the environment. The Great Barrier Reef officially died last week after millions of years of being in existence. That is almost certainly due to us (us=you and me NOT the USA :) )

      Rakesh Bhardwaj: Engine?? What do you know about engine?? 1st, These cars comes 4 years 50k miles warranty. Anything happen just bring back to dealer to fix, and dealer will provide loaner for us. 2nd, if there is problem with "engine", for people like us, we will just change another new cars.. 3rd, like you really do give a shit about the environmental.. and ppl in UK too?? We do what we can do to save the earth BUT no one is doing perfect in the life... so please don't bring this shit up...

      mark tu wow. you really don't give a shit do you. forget environment. running an engine idle to warm it up is not good for the engine. period. no argument. applies to new cars and old. while you might be fine with your 5 year warranty that doesn't mean the advice is invalid . calm down mate. run your car how you want.

      Rakesh Bhardwaj Yes, tell Americans how polluted we like the environment to be when China and India far surpass every pollution benchmark in the modern world. I'm also Indian, btw. Don't delude yourself by buying into stereotypes and hyperbole.
