Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

Modern criminals can steal a car within a matter of minutes. They use the cars OBD port to hack into the ECU & then duplicate a key, all using an unnoticed laptop inside the car.

An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser stops this by transferring a sequence of pin codes through the existing buttons in your vehicle (steering wheel and central console). It is completely undetectable to anyone inside your car.

There are no key fobs or LED indicators to indicate the location of the vehicle.

The ghost immobiliser is the most effective way to prevent keyless entry theft and key copying. This device is designed to guard your vehicle against these types of attacks, by preventing the engine once a correct pin code is entered. This is a very effective method of safeguarding your vehicle, and car insurance companies recognise it as a precautionary measure that could help lower the cost of your insurance.

The ghost connects 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 and a specific button combination. The engine will not start if you try to start your vehicle without using the code. The thief then realizes that they've been taken prisoner and will likely leave the vehicle.

One of the big advantages of this system is that it doesn't transmit any signals, like a tracker, this means that thieves cannot make use of RF signal receivers to pinpoint the location of your Ghost device. It doesn't emit IR (infrared signals) like standard remote control key fobs or trackers, making it very difficult to hack or evade.

Another benefit of the ghost is that it has the valet mode which can be activated when you surrender your vehicle to a valet service or parking.

No cloning, hacking or altering

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser price immobiliser is one of the most advanced immobilisers available. It protects your vehicle from key cloning and hacking and makes it virtually impossible to take. The only way that a burglar could steal your vehicle is by physically towing it away. Even then, they would not be capable of starting the engine.

This is because, unlike other immobilisers that simply stop your vehicle from starting if you don't have the fob, the innovative system actually disconnects the engine control unit to prevent the vehicle from being started. It operates by sending a signal to buttons on your steering wheel, door panel or centre console which can only be disabled by entering the correct pin code configuration, it is this feature that makes the Ghost difficult to break.

Its sleek and discrete design means that it fits in seamlessly into your vehicle, with no additional keys or LEDs It operates on its own, independent of your original alarm or tracker. It is also a CAN bus immobiliser meaning that it sits within the control area network of your vehicle and does not interfere with any other devices such as the built-in key fob or alarm.

In contrast to other systems that rely on code grabbing or RF scanning, this unique technology is indestructible to thieves as it only sends a silent sequence of pin codes via existing buttons on your vehicles steering wheel and door panels as well as the central console. The Ghost is an innovative device that protects your vehicle against keyless entry and smart key theft by producing a unique, personalised pin code that must be entered to deactivate it.

The number of keyless entry vehicles on the road is increasing. Thieves are becoming more sophisticated and are using cloning devices that can be purchased on the internet or in classifieds less than PS15. The key fob that is cloned can be used to gain access to the vehicle. A standard immobiliser for vehicles only stops the engine from running only if you have the original key fob, this does not offer enough security and is easy for criminals to steal or jam signals to gain access to the vehicle.

Valet mode

An immobiliser that is standard on your vehicle is an electronic chip which sends an alert when you hit your key fob button, the system will then look for that specific code that is sent by the key to start the car. If the proper signal cannot be received the system will cut off power and prevent the car from beginning. This is the basic principle behind all immobilisers for cars that are aftermarket. It's a crucial measure to prevent your car from being stolen, even if someone has your keys or a device that could increase the signal from your key fob.

However, a ghost immobiliser doesn't only stop it from happening however, it goes far beyond that. The system, which is located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes is programmed with a unique PIN code that has to be entered in order to start the car. The sequence is then encrypted in your app, and no one else can access it without the same pin that you have.

The system will also stop cloning, signal jamming and hacking (which thieves can employ to bypass the immobiliser in your car). If a thief manages to get their hands on the keys to your car or fob, they won't be able to start your car even if it is in a nearby parking lot. The only way they could escape with your car is to physically transport it away on the flatbed of a lorry which is extremely unlikely.

Valet mode is a useful feature that comes with your ghost immobiliser. When it is 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 also limits the speed of your Tesla, so it can't be driven over 70mph. It also will disable absurd modes. It will also hide your home and work addresses, lock your driver profiles, and secure your Tesla dashboard to ensure that no one else is able to access your private information.

If you would like to use your vehicle for 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 disabled, but it will still block the ability to start your vehicle until a valid pin has been entered. This is a great option for those who have to hand over their vehicle to other people such as taxi drivers and garage mechanics.
