I recently order an E500 and expect it here by the end of this year. I have asked the dealer as well as the manufacture if they could make the vehicle start remotely using the smart key. So far they have not figured out a way to do that. Does anyone know how to do this or shop that can do this. Thanks for the help!

The keyless go option is the only way I know of to do this. You could leave the card in the car and use the key to unlock the doors. This would, in theory, give the authorization signal. Then you might be able to connect a relay to the pushbutton on the keyless go and have it start.

Just a thought.

PS, our shop is in Atlanta if needed.
