2000 Mercedes ML320, remote start

I was wondering if it would be possible to use the Trunk button on the remote of a ML320 to trugger an aftermarket car start system. I am asking because the button is not being used and I though i once read somewhere that the remote starts just need like a trigger to activate them. Any info that you guys could forward along will be greatly appreciated.

What kind of key do you have, blade or i/r? You are also aware you will have to give up a key to make this work as well, they are kinda expensive? Also here is the tech notes concerning your factory immobilizer and bypassing it.

CAUTION: There have been some complaints that after a few days or weeks of installing the remote start, the transponder in the keys would get deleted and the car would have to go back to the dealer for reprogramming.

I promise to be good.

Tell Darwin I sent you.

I've been sick lately, sorry I won't be on much.

I have the switchblade key. Thank you for the info, I don't think that I will be investing in the remote start after all.
