Why would you trust anyone else with your brand new Mercedes Benz? We offer a 4 year warranty on the remote starter and lifetime warranty on installation!!!
We have come across this problem a few times here at the shop , so i decided to make a blog post and a short video about it. I can save you guys some money, time and a trip to the dealer.
We do allot of Alarm and Remote starts on these cars and after a couple of the alarm installs we were doing our after install car inspections and noticed that the check engine light was flashing and the car's fan were cycling on and off for no reason with the key in the on position. (car cam in fine with no lights on on the dash). We check over the whole install and everything is perfect. Luckily we had 2 of the same cars in the install bay , so we checked the other WRX. It turns out that when the installer was putting the car back together he plugged in a green single wire male plug into the green female plug that was sitting loose under the driver side dash.
It turns out that this plug is there (unplugged) from factory ! It is some sort of test connector. (stupid design if you ask me, if i see something unplugged under the dash, i am going to think i unplugged it and plug it back in !!) We unplugged the green plug and all is back to normal. No flashing check engine light and no more cycling fan.
The 2013 Vw Golf R is a Bad ASS little car! 256 HP 2.0 Turbo the gets 27 miles per gallon, all wheel drive, 6 speed manual trans, Racorro seats, Dyna Audio stereo and a touch screen navigation, Blue tooth, HID headlights. Leather and sunroof. Only 2 things missing a Nice sub woofer to round out the Dyna Audio stereo and a Remote start (Remote start not available from the dealer because of the manual trans). But NVS AUDIO to the rescue !
The customer wanted the Viper Smart Start so we went with a complete viper setup
VSM 250 gps
DB All Inerface for the push start and the locks
556U (must give up a Valet key to make the car start)
Viper 4204 2 way led remote starter kit.
Install took about 3 hours ( could have done it quicker but this a brand new 2013 model she we were taking note on all the changes from 2012 - 2013.)
We took power and ground from the battery under the hood
(safer that way)
All connections are soldered !
The DBAll is d2d into the remote start and the smart start is pluged into the esp port also D2D\.
Another Ipad Mini in dash install by NVS AUDIO this time in a Chrysler Town and Country (same as the Dodge Caravan ).
Customer wanted :
Ipad Removable
Best audio quality
& Charging
So we went with a Pioneer 4 volt head unit to start things off :
DEHP-9400BH
cd mp3 aac , 2 usb ports, bluetooth hands free, bluetooth audio streaming, aux, EQ, crossovers, etc...
output from the Ipad mini goes into a Cache Cloc+d line driver to boast the weak audio signal from the Ipad.
The signal than goes into the Pioneer cd rb 20
Auxiliary input adapter for P-Bus receivers
we used this so we would not have any wire sticking out of the front of the cd player
(nice clean look)
Then from the outputs of the radio we ran into a set of pioneer amps which feed 2 sets of rockford components.
We started the build with abs , body filler and fiberglass mat.
we relocated the radio to the lower section of the dash where a storage pocket use to be. We fiberglass molded the trim and radio cage so the radio would mount from the rear ISO din style.
