Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

Modern day thieves can steal vehicles in just a minute. They use the cars OBD port to hack into the ECU and then duplicate a new key, all using a hidden laptop in the car.

The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser will prevent this by sending pin codes to buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels & central console). It is completely invisible to anyone in your car.

No key fobs, or LED indications to give away its location

If you're looking for a solution to stop keyless entry theft or key cloning then you should look at the ghost immobiliser. This device is designed to protect your vehicle from these kinds of attacks, by blocking the engine after a valid pin code has been entered. This is a highly efficient method of safeguarding your vehicle, and insurance companies see it as a safety measure that could help lower the cost of your policy.

The way the ghost works is by connecting to your vehicles CAN data network. Once installed by us at Car Theft Solutions it will only start when you enter a specific button sequence using your unique override code. The engine will not start when you attempt to start your vehicle without having the code. The thief will then realise that they've been caught and is likely to leave the vehicle and flee.

The Ghost system has the advantage of not transmitting any signals like a tracker. Thieves aren't able to make use of RF receivers to pinpoint your Ghost device's location. It doesn't emit IR (infrared signals) like standard remote control key fobs and trackers, making it hard to hack or bypass.

The Ghost also has a valet-mode that is activated if you are handing your vehicle to valet to park or service. This will disable the immobiliser CAN for 30 mph and allow you to use your vehicle as normal with your key fob. When the vehicle is set up again the Ghost will regain full functionality.

No cloning, hacking or altering

The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers on the market. It shields your car from key cloning and hacking making it virtually impossible to steal. The only way a thief could steal your car is to physically tow it away, and even then they would not be able to start the engine.

This is because unlike other immobilisers that only stop your vehicle from starting if you don't have a fob, the Ghost's clever system actually shuts off the engine control unit to prevent the vehicle from being started. The system transmits a message through buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, or ghost Immobiliser installation the centre console. It can only be removed with the correct pin code configuration.

Its sleek and discreet design means that it fits seamlessly into your vehicle without additional keys or LEDs - it runs independently from your factory alarm or tracker. It's a CAN bus immobiliser, which means it sits in the control network of your vehicle and doesn't interfere with existing devices, such as the key fob in your vehicle or alarm.

This exclusive technology is not detectable by thieves, unlike other systems that employ codes grabbing and RF scanning. It only sends pin codes in a silent manner through the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheel doors, door panels or central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary device that safeguards your vehicle from theft of keyless entry and smart key theft. It does this by creating an individual pin code which must be entered to disable the device.

With the increasing number of keys-less entry vehicles on the road the thieves are becoming more sophisticated and are using cloning equipment which can be purchased online or through the classifieds for less than PS15. They can then use this fob that was cloned to gain entry to your vehicle. A standard immobiliser for vehicles only stops the engine from running if they have your original key fob, this is not enough security and is easy for criminals to spoof or jam signals to unlock the vehicle.

Valet mode

Standard immobilisers fitted to your vehicle use an electronic chip that sends an indication. The system will look for the code that was sent by the key to start the vehicle. If the correct signal isn't received, the system will simply cut off and prevent the engine from beginning. This is the fundamental principle behind all aftermarket immobilisers and is a crucial security measure to ensure that your car isn't stolen even if someone else has your keys or a device that could boost your key fob signal.

However, a ghost immobiliser does not only stop that, it goes much further. The system, which is located on the CAN bus of your Mercedes, is programmed with a unique pin code that has to be entered to start the vehicle. It is then secured in your app, and only one else can access it without the same unique pin as you.

The system also stops hacking, cloning and signal jamming (which could be used by thieves to get around the immobiliser in your vehicle). 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 car even if it's located nearby. They could only get your car onto flatbed trucks and that's highly unlikely.

Valet mode is a useful feature that is included with your ghost immobiliser. When activated the glove box as well as trunk of your car will be locked. This means that anyone trying to steal your car won't have anything valuable to take. It will also restrict the speed of your Tesla so that it is unable to be driven over 70mph, and it will also disable the ridiculous mode. It will also lock your driver profiles and hide your home / work addresses so that nobody else has access to the private information on your Tesla dashboard.

If you would like to make use of your car for valet parking or service reasons, simply choose the 'Valet/Service' option on your dashboard app and enter the 4-digit valet pin you have on the touchscreen. The alarm won't work, however the car won't begin unless you enter an authentic pin. This is perfect for people who need to give their vehicle over to others, such as taxi drivers or garage mechanics.
