I have used a bull-dog remote start unit in a 420sel (just for the door
locks, no starting), and a automate in our 1990 300TE. Both were found on
ebay for around $15.00. On both installs, Jim Cathy helped me out...thanks
again Jim.
You do need a unit that will extend the pulse. Pretty much the only reason
you need to wire up some additional wires on it for programing.
On the 420, I got fancy and made the signal lights flash upon locking and
unlocking. This was pretty easy becuase the unit was in the trunk. The
wagon's was under the rear seat, so I stopped once I got it to unlock. If I
recall, I had a choice of tapping into the hatch, passenger, or drivers door
signal. I went with passenger door, and the only bad thing is that if you
use the keyless entry to lock it, you will set the alarm off if you manually
unlock from the passenger door. No big deal if you know not to do it.

Between you and Jim Cathey, I know what wires to mess with, and that I
can get a 925 Audiovox at Azone. My only question is: Did you have
to do anything to the 925 to tell it the Mercedes needed a longer
duration pulse for the vacuum locks?
I found a unit on the net that I liked for $40 with two keyfobs,
but their instructions demanded you install two spdt relays for
an H-bridge. Probably too much work compared to your unit. BTW,
did yours come with one fob or two?
