Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

Modern day thieves can steal vehicles within 1 minute. They use the cars OBD port to hack into the ECU and then duplicate a new key, all from a laptop hidden in the car.

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

No key fobs or LED indicators to indicate its location

The ghost immobiliser is the most effective method to stop keyless entry theft and key copying. This device safeguards your vehicle from these kinds of attacks by blocking the engine when the correct pin code is entered. This is a very effective method of safeguarding your car, and even insurance companies see it as a precautionary measure that could help lower the cost of your policy.

The ghost is connected to the CAN data network in 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. This means that any attempt to start the vehicle without entering this code will be met by a loud siren and the engine will not start. The thief will then realize that they've been caught and will likely abandon the vehicle.

This system has the advantage of not transmitting any signals, like the tracker. Thieves cannot make use of RF receivers to pinpoint your Ghost unit's location. It also doesn't send out any IR (infrared) signals, like the typical remote key fobs for control or tracker do, making it very hard to bypass or hack.

The Ghost also has the valet-mode, which can be activated when you are handing your vehicle over to valet to park or service. This will disable the CAN immobiliser for 30mph, and allows you to operate the vehicle in normal mode using your key fob or smartphone app. The Ghost will be fully functional when the vehicle is back in its parking spot.

No hacking or cloning

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

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

Its discreet and sleek design means that it fits seamlessly into your vehicle without additional keys or LEDs It operates on its own, independent of your original alarm or tracker. It is also a CAN bus immobiliser which means that it sits within your vehicle's control area network and is not interfering with any existing devices like the built-in key fob or alarm.

This unique technology is not detectable by thieves unlike other systems that rely on RF scanning and code grabbing. It simply sends a series of pin codes that are silently transmitted 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 producing an individual, unique pin code that must be entered to deactivate it.

The number of vehicles that have no keyless entry on the road is increasing. Thieves are becoming more sophisticated and use devices for cloning which can be bought online or in classifieds for less than PS15. They can then use the fob that was cloned to gain entry to your vehicle. The standard immobiliser will stop the vehicle from starting if the person who stole it has your original key fob. It's not enough protection and it's not difficult for criminals to jam or fake signals to unlock the car.

Valet mode

Standard immobilisers that are fitted to your vehicle employ an electronic chip to send an indication. The system will look for the code that was sent by the key to begin the vehicle. If the proper signal cannot be detected the system will shut off the power and prevent the vehicle from starting. This is the fundamental principle behind all aftermarket immobilisers and is a crucial security measure to ensure that your car ghost immobiliser cannot be stolen, even if a thief has your keys or a device to increase the signal from your key fob.

However, a ghost immobiliser does not only stop it from happening but it also goes a step further. The system, located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes is programmed with a unique PIN code that needs to be entered to start the car. The sequence is then encrypted in your application, and no other person can access it without the same unique pin as you.

The system will also stop cloning, hacking and signal jamming (which can be used by thieves to get around the immobiliser inside your car). 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 vehicle even if they're in the vicinity of a few feet of it. They may only be able to steal your car onto a flatbed truck, which is highly unlikely.

Valet mode is a handy feature that comes with your ghost immobiliser. When activated the glove box and trunk of your car will be locked. This means that anyone trying to steal your car will not have anything personal to take. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla to ensure that it cannot 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 your private data on your Tesla dashboard.

If you wish to use your car as valet parking, or service, choose the 'Valet/Service' mode on the dashboard app. Enter your 4-digit valet code onto the touchscreen. The alarm will no longer work, however the car will not start unless you enter an authentic pin. This is a great option for those who need to give their vehicle over to others for repair, such as garage mechanics and taxi drivers.
