Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

Modern thieves can steal a vehicle in under a minute. They use the vehicle's OBD port to hack the ECU and then duplicate a new key, all from an unnoticed laptop inside the car.

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

There are no key fobs or LED indicators or other means of locating the vehicle are in place.

If you're looking for a solution to stop keyless entry theft or installations key cloning, then you should look no further than the ghost immobiliser. This device shields your vehicle from these kinds of attacks by blocking the engine when the valid pin code has been entered. This is a very effective method of safeguarding your car, and even insurance companies see it as a security measure that can reduce the cost of your insurance.

The way the ghost works is through connecting to your vehicle's CAN data network, once installed by us at Car Theft Solutions it will only start when you press the specific sequence of buttons with your unique override code. This means that any attempt to start the vehicle without entering this code will be greeted by a loud siren and the engine won't start. The thief then realizes that they've been caught and will most likely leave the vehicle.

One of the big advantages of this system is that it does not transmit any signals as trackers, which means that thieves are unable to utilize RF signal receivers in order to locate your Ghost unit. It doesn't emit IR (infrared signals) like standard remote control key fobs and trackers, making it hard to hack or bypass.

Another advantage of the ghost is that it comes with a valet mode that can be activated when you hand your vehicle over to a valet service or parking. This will turn off the immobiliser CAN for 30mph and allow you to drive as normal with your key fob. The Ghost will be fully functional when the vehicle is returned to its parked position.

No cloning, hacking or altering

The autowatch ghost immobiliser fitting Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers on the market. It shields your car from hacking or key cloning, making it near impossible to take. The only way to steal your car is to physically remove it. Even then, they wouldn't be able to start the engine.

This is because, unlike other immobilisers that simply stop your vehicle from starting if don't have a fob, the Ghost's clever system actually cuts off the engine control unit in order to prevent the vehicle from starting. The system communicates 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 discreet design ensures that it will fit into your vehicle seamlessly without additional keys or LED indicators - it runs independently from your alarm system or tracker from factory. It is also a CAN bus immobiliser meaning that it is part of the control area network of your vehicle and does not interfere with any existing devices like the built-in key fob or alarm.

Contrary to other systems that rely on RF scanning or code grabbing the Ghost's unique technology is indestructible to thieves as it only sends an unobtrusive sequence of pin codes via existing buttons on your vehicles steering wheel and installations door panels as well as the central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary device that defends your vehicle from keyless entry and smart key theft by producing a unique, personalised pin code that must be entered in order to disable it.

With the increase in keyless entry cars on the road, thieves are becoming increasingly sophisticated and are using cloning equipment that can be purchased via classifieds or online 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 is easy for criminals to alter or block signals to unlock the vehicle.

Valet mode

An immobiliser that is standard on your vehicle has an electronic chip that transmits the signal when you press the key fob button. The system then searches for the specific code that was that is sent by the key to start the vehicle. If the correct signal cannot be received, the system will cut off power and prevent the vehicle from beginning. This is the basic principle behind all immobilisers that are sold aftermarket. It is a vital measure to prevent your car from being stolen, even if someone has your keys or a device that could boost the signal of your key fob.

Ghost immobilisers do more than just stop this. The system, which is located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes is programmed with a unique pin code that needs to be entered to start the vehicle. This is then locked on your app and no one is able to access it until they have the exact pin number that you have.

The system will also stop signal jamming, cloning and hacking (which thieves may use to bypass the immobiliser on your vehicle). 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 parked within the distance of a few feet. They could only get your car off a flatbed truck which is extremely unlikely.

Valet mode is a standard feature with your ghost immobiliser. When it is activated the glove box and trunk will be locked so that anyone stealing your car won't have any personal belongings to take with them. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla to ensure that it cannot be driven over 70mph and will disable ludicrous mode. It will also conceal your work and home addresses and restrict your driver profiles and secure your Tesla dashboard to ensure that no one else is able to access the private data.

If you would like to make use of your car for valet parking or other service-related reasons, simply choose the 'Valet/Service' mode on your dashboard application and then enter the 4-digit valet pin you have on the touchscreen. Once you have done this the alarm functions will be bypassed however, it will prevent you from starting your vehicle unless a valid pin is entered. This is ideal for people who need to give their vehicle to other people such as taxi drivers and garage mechanics.

The first-ever aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser

Many people opt to put in a ghost immobiliser due to the fact that they feel standard security is not enough to stop their pride and joy from being taken.
