It does this by transmitting a signal via buttons on your steering wheel or door panel, or on your central console that can only be disarmed by entering the correct pin code This feature that makes the Ghost so hard to crack.

Its sleek and discreet design allows it to seamlessly into your vehicle without the requirement for additional keys or LED indicators. It operates independently of the factory tracker or alarm. It's a CAN bus immobiliser, which means it is part of the vehicle's control network and does no interfere with other devices, such as your car's key fob or alarm.

This unique technology is not detectable by thieves and other systems that use codes grabbing and RF scanning. It simply sends a series of pin codes silently through the buttons on your car's steering wheel doors, door panels or central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary device that defends your vehicle against keyless entry and smart key theft by producing an individual, unique pin code that must be entered to deactivate it.

The number of vehicles with keyless entry in circulation is increasing. Thieves are becoming more sophisticated and use cloning devices which can be bought on the internet or in classifieds under PS15. They can then use the fob that was cloned to gain entry to your vehicle. A standard immobiliser for vehicles only stops the engine from running if they have your original key fob. This does not provide enough protection and makes it easy for criminals to steal or block signals to unlock the vehicle.

Valet mode

Standard immobilisers that are fitted to your vehicle employ an electronic chip to send a signal. The system will search for the code transmitted by the key to start the car. If the signal is not able to be received, the system will cut off the power and prevent the car from beginning. This is the basic principle behind all aftermarket immobilisers and is a vital security measure to ensure that your car can't be stolen even if someone else has your keys or a device that could boost your key fob signal.

Ghost immobilisers do more than stop this. The system, which is located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes, has been programmed with a unique pin code that has to be entered in order to start the vehicle. The sequence is then encrypted in your app, and only anyone else will be able to access it without the same unique pin that you have.

The system will also stop signal jamming, cloning and hacking (which thieves can use to bypass the immobiliser in your car). This means that if a burglar does manage to get your car keys or key fob, they won't be capable of starting your vehicle even if they're in the vicinity of a few feet of it. They could only get your car off a flatbed truck which is extremely unlikely.

Valet mode is an option with your ghost immobiliser. When it is activated the glove box as well as trunk of your vehicle will be locked. This means that anyone who tries to steal your car won't have anything personal to steal. It will also restrict the speed of your Tesla so that it is unable to be driven at speeds of more than 70mph and disables ludicrous mode. It will also conceal your work and home addresses as well as lock your driver profiles, and secure your Tesla dashboard so that nobody else has access to access your private information.

If you would like to use your car for valet parking or service, choose the 'Valet/Service mode' in the dashboard app. Enter the 4-digit valet number on the touchscreen. Once you have done this the alarm functions will be removed, but it will still prevent you from starting your car unless a valid pin is entered. This is perfect for people who have to hand their vehicle to other people for repair, such as taxi drivers or garage mechanics.
