Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

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

An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser prevents this by sending a sequence of pin codes via the buttons that are already in your vehicle (steering wheel & central console). It is completely unnoticeable to anyone in your car.

There are no key fobs or LED indicators to indicate its location

If you're looking for a way to stop keyless entry theft or key cloning then you should look no further than the ghost immobiliser. This device is designed to safeguard your vehicle from these types of attacks by blocking the engine after a proper pin code has been entered. This is a great way to protect your car. Insurance companies for cars recognize it as a safety feature that can lower the cost of insurance.

The ghost is connected to the CAN data network of your vehicle. Once it is installed by Car Theft Solutions, it will only work if you enter your personal override code as well as a specific button combination. The engine won't start if you try to start your vehicle without having the code. The thief then realizes that they are being caught and will likely abandon the vehicle.

One of the major advantages of this system is that it does not transmit any signals, like a tracker, this means that thieves cannot utilize RF signal receivers in order to pinpoint the location of your Ghost device. It does not emit any IR (infrared signals) like standard remote control key fobs as well as trackers, making it hard to hack or bypass.

Another advantage of the ghost is that it features a valet mode that can be activated when you hand your vehicle over to valet parking or for servicing. This will disable the immobiliser CAN for 30mph, and enables you to use the vehicle normally using your key fob or mobile app. The Ghost will be fully functional when the vehicle is back in its parking spot.

No hacking or cloning

The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced immobilisers on the market. It protects your vehicle from hacking and key cloning which makes it almost impossible to steal. The only way thieves could steal your vehicle is to physically tow it away. Even then, they would not be in a position to start the engine.

This is because unlike other immobilisers that prevent the car from starting if they don't have your fob, this clever system actually disconnects your engine control unit so that the vehicle can't be started. It works 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 configuration This feature that makes the Ghost impossible to break.

Its discreet and sleek design ensures that it will fit in seamlessly into your vehicle, without additional keys or LEDs It operates on its own, independent of your alarm system or tracker from factory. It's a CAN bus immobiliser, which means it is part of the vehicle's control network and doesn't interfere with other devices such as the key fob in your vehicle or alarm.

This exclusive technology is not visible to thieves, unlike other systems that rely on RF scanning and code grabbing. It only sends pin codes silently through the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheels, door panels, or central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary device that defends your vehicle against keyless entry and smart key theft by generating an individual, personalized pin code that must be entered to disarm it.

The number of keyless entry vehicles on the road is increasing. Thieves are becoming more sophisticated and use devices to clone your vehicle that can be purchased online or in classifieds for under PS15. The cloned key fob could be used to gain access to the vehicle. A standard vehicle immobiliser only prevents the engine from starting only if you have the original key fob, this does not offer enough security and is easy for criminals to steal or block signals to unlock the vehicle.

Valet mode

Standard immobilisers fitted to your vehicle employ an electronic chip that sends signals. The system will search for the code transmitted by the key to start the vehicle. If the proper signal isn't received, it will cut off the signal and stop the engine from beginning. This is the basis of all aftermarket car immobilisers. It's a crucial measure to safeguard your car from being stolen, even if someone has your keys or an accessory that can boost the signal of your key fob.

However, a ghost immobiliser does not just stop it however, it goes far beyond that. The system, which is located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes, has been programmed with an unique PIN code that has to be entered to start the vehicle. It is then secured on your app and no one is able to access it until they have the exact pin that you have.

The system will also stop signal jamming, cloning and hacking (which thieves could use to bypass the immobiliser in your car). This means that if a burglar manages to steal your car keys or key fob, they will not be capable of starting your vehicle, even if they are in the vicinity of a few feet of it. The only way they could take your car away is to physically take it away on a flatbed lorry which is highly unlikely.

Valet mode is a handy feature that comes with your ghost immobiliser. When it is activated the glove box and trunk will be locked so that anyone stealing your car will not have any personal items to take with them. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla so that it can't be driven at speeds of more than 70mph, and it will also disable the ridiculous mode. It will also lock your driver profiles and conceal your home and work addresses so that nobody else can access your personal data on your Tesla dashboard.

If you would like to utilize your vehicle for valet parking or service purposes, just select the 'Valet/Service' feature in the dashboard app and then enter the 4-digit valet pin you have on the touchscreen. Once you have done this the alarm functions will be disabled, but it will still prevent you from starting your vehicle until a valid pin has been entered. This is ideal for those who need to give their car over to others like garage mechanics and taxi drivers.

The world's first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser

The Autowatch Ghost provides unparalleled security and is the first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser available in the world. It protects you from key cloning or hacking, and even the theft of keys. This is accomplished through a partnership with your vehicle's current interface. It doesn't require additional remotes or fobs however, it instead connects to the vehicle's data network CAN. This makes it a "stealth device.

The device is an in-built circuit board that connects to your car's engine management system (ECU) and works silently. When activated, it will prevent the car from starting until you enter a PIN. This is the number you receive when you request 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 to be invisble from the interior of your vehicle. It doesn't emit radio signals, and only sounds when it is activated. It can be fitted in a variety of different locations, making it almost impossible to detect. It's also low-maintenance and can be used in combination with other anti-theft devices, such as trackers (Brand dependent) for the complete solution.

Many people choose to fit an immobiliser ghost due to the fact that they feel the standard security isn't enough to stop their joy and pride from being taken. While physical deterrents such as wheel locks for steering wheels and wheel clamps are a good option, they are not actually considered "theft proof" by thieves because they can be defeated quite easily with the appropriate tools. Ghost immobilisers are not accessible to thieves since it is integrated into the vehicle and, if activated, would stop the starter motor or the fuel system.

The best part is that ghost immobilisers can be installed for as low as PS450 which is less than the price of other options out there. It also can prevent your car from being taken away!
