Mid City Engineering builds remote starters for the vehicles the big brands mostly leave alone. Mercedes-Benz above all: its Electronic Ignition Switch and FBS immobilizer don't behave like anything else on the road, and Mid City is our pick on two out of three Mercedes we cover. Their range also reaches Volvo, and the vehicles that share Mercedes electronics, like the Infiniti Q30 and QX30 and the Aston Martin DBX. Every system carries a 4-year warranty.

Our pick on 7 vehicles
Our remote starter for Volvo, from the XC40 to the XC90, S90 and V90. No key left in the vehicle and no EIS work.
Have us install it at our Markham shop, or order the kit and install it yourself.
Book an appointment and we do the whole job: module, harness, programming, and a clean, hidden install by technicians who've been doing this since 2003. Every install is backed by our lifetime installation warranty. Remote starter installation from $280.
Order the kit and we pre-program it to your vehicle before it ships (most vehicles). Wiring diagrams included, and real people on chat, email and phone when you're under the dash. Free shipping on orders over $200.
Most Mid City kits carry one or two flags. They change what the install involves, so check them against your vehicle page.
One of your working keys stays permanently inside the vehicle, where it satisfies the immobilizer during a remote start. A spare Mercedes key isn't cheap, so if you only have two, budget for another.
As well as the key, the vehicle's Electronic Ignition Switch has to be modified before the system will work. It's delicate work, so we have it done by a specialist rather than attempting it in-house. Add our EIS jumper installation service to your order and we'll take care of it.
Several Mercedes kits are split by whether your vehicle has Keyless Go. It changes which module fits, so check your vehicle before you order. Not sure? Send us your VIN and we'll confirm it.
Kits with no flag need neither a key left behind nor an EIS modification. They're the quicker, simpler installs, and the Volvo SKSXC is one of them.
Mid City is our pick on 53 of the Mercedes-Benz vehicles we cover, from the A-Class to the Sprinter and Metris vans. The kits plug into the vehicle's own connectors rather than being spliced in around the edges, and every system carries a 4-year warranty, well beyond the industry norm.
On some Mercedes, an iDatastart kit is the better match. The list above only shows the vehicles where Mid City is our first pick.
Most Mercedes kits cost between about $980 and $1,550 before installation, and many need a key left in the vehicle. Where the EIS has to be modified, that's added work too. It's the cost of remote start on a vehicle the mainstream brands can't do.
Interfaces and add-ons for Mercedes-Benz vans and the EIS work some kits need.
The 907INTC adds alarm integration on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
The METRISINT adds alarm integration on the Mercedes-Benz Metris.
Keeps the factory back-up camera working on a 2019–2023 Sprinter after a radio change.

Search the list above. If your vehicle is there, Mid City is the kit we'd install ourselves. If it isn't, another brand is usually the better match. Search every brand and your vehicle page will show you our pick.
On kits marked 🔑, one of your working keys is mounted permanently inside the vehicle, where it satisfies the immobilizer during a remote start. It's given up for the life of the installation, so if you only have two keys, budget for a spare.
On kits marked ⒺⒾⓈ, the vehicle's Electronic Ignition Switch has to be modified before the remote starter will work. We have that done by a specialist. Add our EIS jumper installation service to your order and we'll arrange it.
Yes. Several kits are split by whether the vehicle has Keyless Go, and it changes which one fits. If you're not sure, send us your VIN and we'll confirm it before you order.
Every Mid City Engineering system carries a 4-year warranty from the manufacturer. Our installation work is covered for life on top of that.
The price on each kit includes our installation. Some vehicles also need a part made for that vehicle, such as a T-harness or a key fob kit. Your vehicle page shows everything your vehicle needs, and we confirm the price before you book.
Three to four hours for most vehicles, done the same day at our Markham shop. We'll confirm timing when you book.
No. Adding a remote starter doesn't cancel your factory warranty. A dealer can only decline a specific claim if they can show the installation caused the fault, which is why install quality matters and why we back ours for life.
Tell us your year, model and trim, and whether it has Keyless Go, and we'll tell you which Mid City kit we'd install.
