mercedes ml430

I am about to install a remote starter on a 2000 mercedes ml430.

Just wanted to know from anyone who has done one, if this vehicle is difficult to do?

I also was doing some searching on the transponder bypass and i noticed you can install a box(with key) or you can take the orginal ring off the barrel and insert a key in it and hide that. I know by doing that will bypass the security at all times , but i would like to know what some of you installers did?

No fortin has nothing on the ml430

but i found this(mind you this bypass it permantly)

or

I have another diagram that shows me using 2 relays and the valet key wrapped up in wire.

I will email it to you kartuneman

what would you do?

no that is the ORGINAL RING that is already on the barrel.

I remove it from there and install the key in it and hide it under the dash

permantly bypassed!

Ha very funny Mark, unfortunately that's just what I've been doing here for years, except that I'm usually installing a UK Cat I alrm with 2 concealed cuts anyway and until last year we couldn't get any decent by-passes anyway, I've only been recently introduced to Fortin and Trilogics by US buddies.

With a Cat I if you turn alarm off and don't turn ign to on position the alarm will re-imobilise after one minute. You either turn key to ign position and press padlock or turn to ignition and enter your 4 digit pin code via the valet switch. Considering the propensity for G4 Clifford remotes to eat their battery holders and customers not listening when you explain how to by-pass the immobiliser or the 3 service calls I get every week to reprogramme/replace a remote and they haven't a clue as to where the valet switch is let alone their pin number, you do make a good point.
