Introduction
ATTENTION: IF YOU ARE INSTALLING THIS SYSTEM ON A GASOLINE SPRINTER, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THE SOFTWARE VERSION IS V5.23 OR ABOVE
The SKSNG907 is a remote start and alarm kit for the 2019 Mercedes & Freightliner Sprinter (907)
Out of the box, the remote start will work using the factory key fob (lock-unlock-lock). It will also include
OEM style alarm with no additional hardware. A Compustar DAS sensor can be plugged in to add shock/tilt/vehicle movement protection to the alarm. The alarm will use the factory horn and flash the parking lights. In addition, a full Compustar or Directed external alarm can be added.
For extended range, the Compustar Drone and Directed Smart Start can be added and will provide 2-way communication (including alarm notifications). All Compustar RF kits are compatible with the system and any Directed RF kit using an XL202 (XL202 not needed if using Directed external alarm).
The remote start & alarm installation for the SKSNG907 or SKSNG907RV is 100% plug & play and requires the following steps:
- T-harness connection at PCM module
- T-harness connection at EIS module
- Key box installation
There is also an kit (SKSNG907RV) that also includes OEM style high idle and an optional external trigger for start / stop. Link to that product here.
