Ghost immobilisers do more than just stop this. The system, which is located on the CAN bus of your Mercedes, is programmed with a unique pin code that needs to be entered in order to start the vehicle. It is then secured on your app, and no one can ever access it unless they have the exact pin number that you have.
The system will also stop cloning, signal jamming and hacking (which thieves can use to bypass the immobiliser in your car). If a burglar is able to get their hands on the keys to your car or fob, they won’t be able to start your vehicle even if it is located nearby. They may only be able to steal your car off the flatbed truck, which is highly unlikely.
Valet mode is an option with your ghost immobiliser. When activated, the glove box of your car and trunk will be locked, so that thieves will not have any personal items to take.
