Car jackings

Apparently there is a wave of carjackings in my area. Is there a way we can disable the car via the Mercedes me app or any alternatives out there.

You can disable keyless go by quickly double tapping the lock button, it prevents relay attacks. It's turned back on using any button on the key.

That's terrible... sign of economic hardship on the rise too. Almost wish we could order with a manual transmission just for this reason.

Good luck and be safe out there.

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
If it comes to that, just let the car jacker have it without a fight. It's not worth it to lose your life over the car. That's why there's insurance, right. Well, hopefully the car jacker is not one of those who still shoot someone who gives up the car without a fight.
