There comes a time when your vehicles radio isn’t cutting it anymore, either it is broken or technology has passed it up and the idea of throwing several thousands of dollars at an antique is not an option.
But what to do, as even a refurbished Mercedes-Benz radio is $4,000.00? In the past the only option was to replace the whole entire system COMAND navigation, amplifier, and speakers. Not true today with the implementation of the OPTI-1. The OPTI-1 allows for the factory radio to be replaced with an aftermarket radio allowing you to retain the integrity of the factory optical system, including the audio gateway (AGW), amplifier, and speakers while adding a modern day navigation system or multimedia radio.

October 1, has officially kicked off the 2015-16 remote start season with the arrival of the wet and cold weather and our phones have not stopped ringing since! Access 1 Alarm & Audio is kicking off the season with new products from Viper with added features to make your new system even more convenient and reliable to use.
So what's new?
Pretty much everything! With the new Viper Systems even the way we integrate the remote start system to your vehicle has changed. With the introduction of Viper's digital solutions no more are we going wire to wire on the newer vehicles. Today we load a digital remote start system up with vehicle specific software and connect it to your vehicles data system which will send the commands from your new remote control, factory remote control or your smartphone to start, lock, unlock, slide open the doors or pop your trunk. Further, Viper released a few vehicle specific T-harnesses that allow for up to 70% of the wires to be now plug and play with factory plugs. We just unplug your factory harness, plug it into the Viper harness and the reinsert the Viper harness into your factory plug location. This ensures a reliable connection that will not come undone and makes for a cleaner looking installation. Your mechanic or dealership will love us!

We have a solution for all Mercedes-Benz vehicles, unfortunately some are more expensive than others when trying to maintain a factory look due to the design of the factory radio. Some factory systems it is recommended to replace the complete radio/display with an aftermarket system due to cost considerations. Remember, not all Mercedes-Benz's are created equally.
As with all of our OEM integration's, the camera and interface come complete with a 3yr/36,000 mile warranty both parts and labor. Most installations are "Plug-n-Play" and use factory connectors to make the connections ensuring there is no need to worry about the quality of the equipment being added to your vehicle and when paired with a professional installation by our qualified technicians, the new system will provide many years of quality trouble-free use.
