Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

Modern thieves can rob a car in under a minute. They make use of the OBD port of the vehicle to hack into the ECU and then duplicate keys using a laptop that is hidden inside the vehicle.

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

No key fobs, LED indicators or other methods to locate the vehicle are accessible.

The ghost immobiliser is the best method to protect against keyless entry theft and key cloning. This device is designed to safeguard your vehicle against these types of attacks, by preventing the engine once a correct pin code has been entered. This is a reliable way to protect your car. Insurance companies for cars recognize it as a security feature that can reduce the cost of a policy.

The ghost is connected to the CAN data network in your vehicle. Once 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 criminal then realizes they are being caught and will most likely leave the vehicle.

The Ghost system has the advantage of not transmitting any signals, like a tracker. Thieves can't use RF receivers to pinpoint your Ghost unit's location. It also doesn't transmit any IR (infrared) signals like the typical remote key fobs to control the device or trackers do, which makes it difficult to deceive or hack.

Another benefit of the ghost is that it has a valet mode that can be activated when you give your vehicle for valet parking or servicing. This will turn off the CAN immobiliser for 30mph, and allow you to use the vehicle normally using your key fob or phone app. If the vehicle is parked up again the Ghost will be restored to full functioning.

No hacking or cloning

The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced models on the market. It protects your vehicle from key cloning and hacking which makes it almost 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 which only prevent the vehicle from starting if they don't have your fob this system actually shuts off your engine control unit so that the vehicle cannot start. This system works by sending an alert via buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, or centre console. It is only disarmed with the correct pin code configuration.

Its sleek and subtle design allows it to be seamlessly into your vehicle without the need for additional keys or LED indicators. It functions independently of the factory tracker or alarm. It is a CAN-bus immobiliser, meaning that it sits in the vehicle's control network and doesn't interfere with existing devices such as your vehicle's key fob or alarm.

Unlike other systems that rely on codes grabbing or RF scanning this technology is indestructible to thieves as it only sends an inaudible sequence of pin codes through existing buttons on your vehicles steering wheel, door panels or central console. The Ghost is an innovative device that protects your vehicle from keyless entry and smart key theft by generating an individual, unique pin code which must be entered to deactivate it.

With the increasing number of keyless entry cars that are on the road The thieves are becoming sophisticated and using cloning equipment that can be purchased online or through the classifieds for less than PS15. They can then use this cloned fob to gain access to your vehicle. A standard vehicle immobiliser only stops the engine from starting when you have your original key fob. This does not offer enough security and makes it easy for criminals to spoof or jam signals to unlock the vehicle.

Valet mode

An immobiliser that is standard on your vehicle has an electronic chip that transmits a signal when you press the key fob button, the system will then search for the particular code you have that was sent from the key to start the vehicle. If the correct signal cannot be received the system will shut off the power and stop the vehicle from starting. This is the principle behind all immobilisers for cars that are aftermarket. It's a crucial step to protect your vehicle from being stolen, even if a person has your keys or a device that could enhance the signal of your key fob.

However, a ghost immobiliser does not only stop that, it goes much further. 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. This is then locked in your app, and no one else can access it without the same unique pin as you.

The system will also stop signal jamming, cloning and hacking (which thieves can employ to bypass the immobiliser on your vehicle). If a thief gets their hands on your car keys or key fob, they will not be able to start your car even if it is in a nearby parking lot. They might only steal your car on the flatbed truck which is extremely unlikely.

Valet mode is an option with your ghost immobiliser. When activated, the glove box of your car and trunk will be locked so that thieves will not have any personal items to take. It also limits the speed of your Tesla so that it can't be driven at speeds of more than 70mph and disables ludicrous mode. It will also hide your home and work addresses and lock your driver profiles, and lock your Tesla dashboard to ensure that nobody else has access to access your private information.

If you would like to utilize your vehicle for valet parking or for service reasons, simply choose the 'Valet/Service' option on your dashboard application and enter your 4-digit valet number on the touchscreen. The alarm won't work, but the car will not start until you have entered a valid pin. This is ideal for those who need to transfer their car to others such as taxi drivers and garage mechanics.

This is the code you will receive when you request an installation. This number is required to activate valet mode, deactivate the alarm or permit you to leave in your friends car (if they have a Ghost installed too).

It can be installed in a variety of different places, making it nearly impossible to spot. It is also a low-maintenance gadget and can be fitted in conjunction with other systems such as a tracker (Brand dependant) to offer the most complete anti-theft system.

Many people choose to install ghost immobilisers because they feel that the standard security measures aren't sufficient to safeguard their pride and joy. Whilst physical deterrents like locking the steering wheel and wheel clamps are a great option, they're not actually considered "theft proof" by thieves since they can be defeated easily with the appropriate tools. Ghost immobilisers are not accessible to thieves since it is integrated into the vehicle and, if activated will stop the starter motor as well as the fuel system.
