This system works by sending a message through buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, or the centre console. It is only disarmed using the correct pin code configuration.
Its discreet and sleek design means that it fits into your vehicle seamlessly with no additional keys or LED indicators and it operates independently of your factory alarm or tracker. It also functions as a bus immobiliser, which means it is part of your vehicle’s control area network and does not interfere with any existing devices like your vehicle’s key fob or alarm.
This unique technology is not visible to thieves, unlike other systems that rely on RF scanning and code grabbing. It simply sends a series of pin codes silently through the buttons on your car’s steering wheel or door panels, or central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary product that shields your vehicle from keyless entry theft and smart key theft. It does this by creating a unique pin code, which must be entered to disable the device.
With the growing number of keys-less entry vehicles on the road The thieves are becoming sophisticated and are using cloning equipment which can be purchased on the internet or in the classifieds for less than PS15. They can then use the cloned fob to gain access to your vehicle. The standard immobiliser can only stop the vehicle from starting if the thief has the original key fob. This isn’t enough protection and it’s very easy to get criminals to jam or spoof signals to unlock the car.
Valet mode
A standard immobiliser fitted to your vehicle uses an electronic chip which sends an alert when you press the key fob button. The system then searches for the specific code that was that was sent from the key to start the car. If the correct signal isn’t detected, it will cut off the signal and stop the engine from beginning. This is the basic principle behind all immobilisers for cars that are aftermarket. It’s an essential measure to safeguard your car from being taken away, even if someone has your keys or an accessory that can increase the signal from your key fob.
Ghost immobilisers do more than stop this. The system, which is located on the CAN bus of your Mercedes is programmed with a unique PIN code that has to be entered in order to start the vehicle. The sequence is then encrypted in your application, and no one else can access it without the same pin as you.
The system will also prevent hacking, cloning and signal jamming (which can be used by thieves to circumvent the immobiliser inside your car). If a burglar gets their hands on your car keys or key fob, they will not be able start your vehicle even if it is parked nearby. They could only get your car on flatbed trucks, which is highly unlikely.
Valet mode is an option with your ghost immobiliser. When it is activated, the glove box and trunk of your car will be locked. This means that anyone trying to take your car away will not have anything personal to take. It will also restrict the speed of your Tesla to ensure that it cannot be driven at speeds of more than 70mph and disables ludicrous mode. It will also block your driver profiles and hide your home / work addresses so that nobody else has access to your private data on your Tesla dashboard.
If you would like to use your car as valet parking, or service, select the ‘Valet/Service’ option on the dashboard app. Enter your 4-digit valet code onto the touchscreen. The alarm won’t work, but the car will not start unless you enter an authentic pin. This is a great option for those who need to give their car over to others like garage mechanics and taxi drivers.
