No hacking, cloning or modifying

The system communicates a message through buttons on the steering wheel, door panel or the centre console. It is only removed with the correct pin code configuration.

Its sleek and discreet design allows it to seamlessly into your vehicle without the necessity of additional keys or LED indicators. It runs independently of your factory alarm or tracker.

Contrary to other systems that rely on code grabbing or RF scanning the Ghost's unique technology is indestructible to thieves because it only transmits a silent sequence of pin codes via the buttons that are already present on your vehicle's steering wheel, door panels or central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary product that protects your vehicle from theft of keys that are keyless and smart key theft. It does this by generating an individual pin code that must be entered to disable the device.

Thieves are becoming more sophisticated and use devices to clone your vehicle which can be bought through classifieds or online for less than PS15. The cloned key fob could be used to gain access to the vehicle. The standard immobiliser will only stop the vehicle from starting if the criminal has your original key fob. It's not enough protection and it's very easy for criminals jam or spoof signals to unlock the vehicle.

Valet mode

A standard immobiliser fitted to your vehicle has an electronic chip that transmits the signal when you hit your key fob button. The system then searches for the specific code that was that is sent by the key to start the car. If the correct signal cannot be detected the system will cut off power and prevent the vehicle from starting. This is the principle behind all immobilisers that are sold on the market and is a vital security measure to ensure that your car isn't stolen even if a thief has your keys or a device that could enhance the signal of your key fob.

A ghost immobiliser does more than just stop this. The system, which is located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes is programmed with an unique PIN code that must be entered to begin the vehicle. It is then secured in your app, and no anyone else will be able to access it without having the same pin as you.

The system also stops cloning, hacking and signal jamming (which can be used by thieves to get around the immobiliser inside your car). This means that if someone does somehow get hold of your car keys or key fob they won't be in a position to start your vehicle even if in the vicinity of a few feet of it. They may only be able to steal your car on the flatbed truck which is extremely unlikely.

Valet mode comes as an option that comes with your ghost immobiliser. When activated, the glove box and 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 limit the speed of your Tesla so that it cannot be driven over 70mph. It also will disable insane modes. It will also lock your driver profiles and hide your home / work addresses so that no one other person can access your private data on your Tesla dashboard.

If you wish to use your car for valet parking or service, select the 'Valet/Service mode' on the dashboard app. Enter your 4-digit valet code on the touchscreen. The alarm won't work, but the car won't start unless you enter an authentic pin. This is ideal for those who need to give their car over to others like taxi drivers or garage mechanics.
