No hacking, cloning or modifying

The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced models on the market. It shields your vehicle from key cloning and hacking, making it nearly impossible to steal. The only way that a burglar could steal your vehicle is to physically tow it away, and even then they wouldn'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 don't have the fob, the Ghost's clever system actually cuts off the engine control unit in order to prevent the vehicle from starting. It works by sending a signal to buttons on your steering wheel or door panel, or on your central console that can only be deactivated by entering the correct pin code configuration This feature that makes the Ghost so hard to crack.

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

This unique technology isn't detectable by thieves unlike other systems that use codes and RF scanning. It only transmits a series of pin codes silently through the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheels doors, door panels or central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary device that protects your vehicle from keyless entry and smart key theft by generating a unique, personalised pin code that must be entered to deactivate it.

With the growing number of keyless entry cars that are on the road, thieves are becoming increasingly sophisticated and using cloning equipment that can be bought via classifieds or online 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 only if you have the original key fob. This does not provide enough protection and it is easy for criminals to steal or jam signals to unlock the vehicle.

Valet mode

A standard immobiliser fitted to your vehicle is an electronic chip that sends an alert when you hit your key fob button. The system will then look for the specific code that was that is sent by the key to start the car. If the correct signal isn't received, the system will cut off and stop the engine from starting. This is the basis of all immobilisers for cars that are aftermarket. It's a crucial step to protect your vehicle from being stolen, even if someone has your keys or a device that could enhance the signal of your key fob.

A ghost immobiliser does more than just stop this. The system, located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes, has been programmed with a unique PIN code that needs to be entered to start the car. The sequence is then encrypted in your app, and no one else can access it without having the same pin that you have.

The system will also stop cloning, signal jamming and hacking (which thieves could employ to bypass the immobiliser in your car). If a burglar is able to get their hands on your keys to your car or fob, they won't be able start your vehicle even if it is parked nearby. They may only be able to steal your car onto the flatbed truck, which is highly unlikely.

Valet mode is a useful feature that is included with your ghost immobiliser. When it is activated the glove box of your car and trunk will be locked to ensure that anyone stealing your car will not be able to take any personal items to carry with them. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla to ensure that it cannot be driven over 70mph. It also will disable absurd modes. It will also lock your driver profiles and hide your home / work addresses so that no one else can access the private information on your Tesla dashboard.

If you would like to use your car for valet parking or service, choose the 'Valet/Service' mode on the dashboard app. Enter your 4-digit valet code onto the touchscreen. The alarm won't be activated, but the car won't start until you have entered a valid pin. This is a great option for those who need to give their car over to others for repair, such as taxi drivers and garage mechanics.

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 done by working with your vehicle's current interface. It does not require additional fobs or remotes, but instead integrates with the vehicle's data network, CAN.

It can be installed in a variety of places which makes it virtually impossible to spot. It is also a low-maintenance gadget and can be used together with other systems, such as a tracker (Brand dependent) to offer a more complete anti-theft solution.

Many people choose to fit a ghost immobiliser due to the fact that they feel standard security isn't enough to prevent their pride and joy from being stolen. Physical deterrents such as wheel clamps and locking mechanisms for steering wheels are excellent alternatives, but they're not considered "theft-proof" by thieves as they are easily beaten with the appropriate tools. Ghost immobilisers aren't accessible to thieves since it is integrated into the vehicle and, if activated will disable the starter motor or fuel system.
