This is because unlike other immobilisers that simply stop your vehicle from starting if don't have the fob, the clever system actually shuts off the engine control unit to prevent the vehicle from being started. It does this by sending a signal to buttons on your steering wheel, door panel or centre console that can only be disarmed by entering the correct pin code This feature that makes the Ghost difficult to break.
Its sleek and subtle design allows it to fit seamlessly into your car without the necessity of additional keys or LED indicators. It operates independently of the factory tracker or alarm. It also functions as a CAN bus immobiliser, which means it is part of your vehicle's control area network and doesn't interfere with other devices, such as your vehicle's key fob or alarm.
This exclusive technology is not detectable by thieves unlike other systems that use codes and RF scanning. It only transmits pin codes that are silently transmitted through the buttons on your car's steering wheel or door panels, or central console.

The number of vehicles that have no keyless entry on the road is increasing. Thieves are becoming sophisticated and are using devices for cloning that can be purchased on the internet or in classifieds less than PS15. The key fob that is cloned can be used to gain access to the vehicle. The standard immobiliser will stop the vehicle from starting if the thief has your original key fob. It's not enough protection, and it's easy to get criminals to jam or spoof signals to unlock the vehicle.
Valet mode
A standard immobiliser fitted to your vehicle uses an electronic chip that transmits a signal when you press the key fob button. The system will then look for the particular code you have sent from the key to start the car. If the correct signal isn't received, it will simply cut off and stop the engine from getting started. This is the principle behind all aftermarket immobilisers 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 can increase the signal from your key fob.
However, a ghost immobiliser does not only stop that, it goes much further. The system, which is on the CAN bus of your Mercedes is programmed with a unique PIN push sequence that must be entered in order to start the vehicle. This is then locked in your application, and no other person can access it without the same unique pin as you.
The system will also stop cloning, signal jamming and hacking (which thieves may employ to bypass the immobiliser in your car). If a burglar manages to get their hands on your keys to your car or fob, they will not be able start your vehicle even if it is located nearby. The only way to get your car away would be to physically take it away on the flatbed of a lorry which is highly unlikely.

When activated, the glove box of your car and trunk will be locked so that thieves will not have any personal items to carry with them. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla so that it is unable to be driven at speeds of more than 70mph and disables ludicrous mode.
