Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

Modern criminals can steal a car within a matter of minutes. They use the vehicle's OBD port to hack into the ECU & then duplicate a new key, all via a hidden laptop in the car.

An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser prevents this by sending a series of pin codes through existing buttons in your vehicle (steering wheel & central console). It is completely inaccessible to anyone else in your vehicle.

There are no key fobs, LED indicators or other ways of locating the vehicle are accessible.

If you're looking for a method to stop keyless entry theft or key cloning then you should look at the ghost immobiliser. This device is designed to guard your vehicle against these types of attacks by blocking the engine after a proper pin code is entered. This is an effective way to protect your car. Even car insurance companies recognize it as a safety feature that can reduce the cost of a policy.

The ghost connects to your vehicle's CAN data network. Once installed by Car Theft Solutions, it will only work when you enter your personal override code as well as a specific button combination. This means that any attempt to start the vehicle without entering this code will be greeted by a loud siren and the engine will not start. The thief then realizes that they have been taken prisoner and will likely leave the vehicle.

The Ghost system has the advantage of not transmitting any signals, like a tracker. Thieves aren't able to utilize RF receivers to determine your Ghost device's location. It also doesn't transmit any IR (infrared) signals, like the typical remote key fobs to control the device or tracker do, making it very hard to bypass or hack.

The Ghost also comes with valet-mode which is activated if you are transferring your vehicle to valet to park or service. This disables the immobiliser CAN for 30mph, and enables you to use the vehicle normally using your key fob or mobile app. When the vehicle is parked up again, the Ghost will regain full function.

No cloning, hacking or altering

The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers available on the market, it protects your vehicle from key cloning and hacking making it nearly impossible to steal. The only method to steal your car is to physically tow it away. Even then, they won't be able start the engine.

This is because unlike other immobilisers that only stop your vehicle from starting if you do not have a fob, the Ghost's clever system actually cuts off the engine control unit to prevent the vehicle from being started. The system communicates a message through buttons on the steering wheel, door panel or centre console. It is only disarmed with the proper pin code configuration.

Its sleek and discreet design allows it to be seamlessly into your vehicle without the need for additional keys or LED indicators. It runs independently of your factory alarm or tracker. It is also a CAN bus immobiliser meaning that it sits within the control area network of your vehicle and doesn't interfere with any other devices such as your vehicle's key fob or alarm.

This exclusive technology is not detectable by thieves, unlike other systems that employ RF scanning and code grabbing. It only transmits a series of pin codes in a silent manner through the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheel, door panels, or central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary product 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 in order to disable the device.

With the increasing number of keyless entry cars on the road, thieves are becoming increasingly sophisticated and using cloning equipment that can be purchased on the internet or in the classifieds for less than PS15. The cloned key fob could be used to gain access to the vehicle. The standard immobiliser will only stop the car from starting if the person who stole it has the original key fob. It's not enough security and it's not difficult for criminals to jam or fake signals to unlock the car.

Valet mode

An immobiliser that is standard on your vehicle is an electronic chip which sends the signal 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 cannot be detected, the system will cut off power and prevent the car from starting. This is the basic principle behind all aftermarket immobilisers and is a crucial security measure to ensure that your vehicle cannot be stolen, even if a thief has your keys or a device to boost your key fob signal.

Ghost immobilisers do more than simply stop this. The system, which sits on the CAN bus of your Mercedes, is programmed with a unique pin code push sequence that must be entered in order to start the vehicle. This is then locked in your app, and only anyone else will be able to access it without the same pin as you.

The system will also stop cloning, signal jamming and hacking (which thieves could use to get around the immobiliser on your vehicle). This means that if a burglar does somehow get hold of your car keys or your key fob, they won't be able to start your car even if they're parked within the distance of a few feet. They might only steal 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 vehicle will be locked. This means that anyone who tries to steal your car will not have anything personal to take. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla, so it can't be driven over 70mph. It will also turn off ludicrous modes. It will also lock your driver profiles and hide your home / work addresses to ensure that no one else has access to your personal data on your Tesla dashboard.

If you wish to use your car as valet parking, or service, choose the 'Valet/Service mode' on your dashboard app. Enter the 4-digit valet number on the touchscreen. Once you have done this the alarm functions will be removed, but it will still hinder the ability to start your car without a valid pin entered. This is perfect for people who have to hand their car over to others like garage mechanics and taxi drivers.

The first aftermarket immobiliser for the CAN bus

The Autowatch Ghost is the world's first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser and provides security unmatched by any other product available today. It protects you from key hacking or cloning, and even the theft of keys. This is achieved by working alongside your vehicles current interface. It does not require additional remotes or fobs, but instead integrates into the vehicle's CAN data network. This makes it a stealth gadget.

The device is a hidden circuit board that connects to the engine management system of your car (ECU) and works silently. Once activated, it will stop your car from starting until a specific PIN is entered. This is a unique code that you will receive when you book an installation. This number is required to activate valet, disable the alarm, or allow you drive away in a friend's car (if they also have Ghost installed).

It is designed in a way that it is not spotted by anyone looking into your cars interior, does not send any radio signals and will only be heard when it's activated. It can be put in a variety of places and is nearly impossible to spot. It is also a low-maintenance device and can be fitted together with other systems like a tracker (Brand dependant) to offer the most complete anti-theft system.

Many people choose to fit an immobiliser ghost because they feel that standard security isn't enough to prevent their joy and pride from being stolen. Physical deterrents such as wheel clamps and locking mechanisms for steering wheels are excellent options, but they are not considered "theft-proof" by thieves as they can be easily defeated with the proper tools. Ghost immobilisers aren't bypassable by thieves as it is integrated into the vehicle and, if activated, will disable the starter motor as well as the fuel system.

The most appealing aspect is that a ghost immobiliser can be installed for as little as PS450, which is a tiny fraction of the cost of ghost immobiliser of other products out there. It also does stop your car from being stolen! If you're looking to add an extra layer of security to your pride and joy Contact us today so we can arrange it for you.
