Default 2007 sprinter alarm/auto start?

I have a 2007 Dodge Sprinter 2500 Cargo that I purchased brand new last summer and I would like to have an auto start alarm installed. My dealer says that it can't be done. Is there a fix through Mercedes? Anyone have this done already?

It is very likely the dealer is correct about the auto start. The reason probably has something to do with waiting for the glow plug dashboard light to go out. The alarm should be no problem.

Default AUTO START ALARM

THE 2007 AND NEWER SPRINTERS DO NOT HAVE A GLOW PLUG OR A LIGHT ON THE DASH FOR ONE. THIS IS ONE OF THE NEW COMMON RAIL DIESEL ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS. I DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR ANYTHING TO HEAT UP IN ORDER TO START UP AND GO.

I WOULD THINK IN THIS SITUATION THAT THE SAME TYPE OF SYSTEM THAT IS USED FOR A GASOLINE ENGINE SHOULD WORK? IF NOT, THEN I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY.

NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE AN ANSWER FOR ME EXCEPT THAT IT CANNOT BE DONE. THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION.

ONE INSTALLER IN MY AREA SAID THEY CAN DO IT. I DID CALL THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IF THE INSTALLATION CAUSED ANY TYPE OF FAILURE THAT MY WARRANTY WOULD BE VOIDED. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING AS I HAVE HAD MANY INSTALLATIONS ON OTHER VEHICLES WITH NO PROBLEM OR THREATS OF CANCELLING MY WARRANTY. I THINK THEY JUST WANT TO SCARE ME OUT OF HAVING THIS DONE BY SOMEONE OTHER THEN THEM.

IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFORMATION AS TO WHO I CAN CONTACT AT DODGE TO VERIFY THIS CLAIM OF WARRANTY CANCELLATION PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
