Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern criminals can steal a car in less than a minute. They make use of the OBD port of the vehicle to hack into the ECU and then duplicate keys and all with an unprotected laptop inside the vehicle.
An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser blocks this by sending a series of pin codes through the buttons on your vehicle (steering wheel & central console). It is completely undetectable to anyone inside your vehicle.
There are no key fobs or LED indicators, or any other ways to locate the vehicle are accessible.
If you're looking for a way to stop keyless entry theft or key cloning, then look at the ghost immobiliser. This device protects your vehicle from these kinds of attacks by blocking the engine after a correct pin code is entered. This is a reliable method to safeguard your vehicle. Even car insurance companies recognize it as a safety feature that can lower the cost of a policy.
The way the ghost works is by connecting to your vehicles CAN data network, once installed by us at Car Theft Solutions it will only begin when you press the specific sequence of buttons with your personal override code. This means that any attempt to start the vehicle without entering this code will be met with a loud alarm, and the engine will not start. The thief will then realize that they've been caught and will likely abandon the vehicle.
One of the big advantages of this system is that it does not transmit any signals as the tracker, which means that thieves are unable to utilize RF signal receivers in order to determine the location of your Ghost unit. It does not emit any IR (infrared signals) as do typical remote control key fobs or trackers, making it difficult to bypass or hack.
Another benefit of the ghost is that it features an option for valet parking that can be activated when you give your vehicle for valet parking or servicing. This will disable the CAN immobiliser for 30mph, and enables you to use the vehicle normally using your key fob or phone app. The Ghost will function fully when the vehicle is back in its parking spot.

No hacking, cloning, or altering
The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers on the market. It shields your vehicle from hacking or key cloning, making it virtually impossible to steal. The only way to steal your car is to physically remove it. Even then, they won't be able to start the engine.
This is due to the fact that unlike other immobilisers which only stop your vehicle from starting if you don't have the fob, the clever system actually cuts off the engine control unit to stop the vehicle from starting. It does this by transmitting a signal via buttons on your steering wheel or door panel, or on your central console which can only be disabled by entering the correct pin code, it is this feature that makes the Ghost so hard to crack.
Its sleek and subtle design allows it to seamlessly into your car without the need for additional keys or LED indicators. It runs independently of your factory alarm or tracker. It is a CAN-bus immobiliser, which means that it is part of the vehicle's control network and doesn't interfere with existing devices such as your vehicle's key fob or alarm.
This unique technology is not visible to thieves and other systems that use RF scanning and code grabbing. It only sends pin codes in a silent manner through the buttons on your car's steering wheel or 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 in order to disable it.
The number of keyless entry vehicles that are on the road is growing. Thieves are becoming sophisticated and use devices to clone your vehicle which can be bought on the internet or in classifieds less than PS15. They can then use the fob that was cloned to gain entry to your vehicle. A standard vehicle immobiliser only stops the engine from running when you have your original key fob, this does not offer enough security and it is easy for criminals to steal or jam signals to gain access to the vehicle.
Valet mode
A standard immobiliser fitted to your vehicle has an electronic chip that sends a signal when you hit your key fob button. The system will then look for the particular code you have that is sent by the key to start the vehicle. If the signal is not able to be received the system will cut off the power and prevent the vehicle from beginning. This is the fundamental principle behind all aftermarket immobilisers and is a crucial security measure to ensure that your vehicle cannot be stolen, even if someone else has your keys or a device to enhance the signal of your key fob.
A ghost immobiliser does more than simply stop this. The system, located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes is programmed with an unique PIN code that has to be entered to start the car. It is then secured in your app, and only one else can access it without the same unique pin as you.
The system will also stop cloning, signal jamming and hacking (which thieves may employ to bypass the immobiliser in your car). This means that if a burglar does manage to get your car keys or your key fob, they won't be in a position to start your car, even if they are just a few feet of it. The only way to take your car away is to physically transport it away on a flatbed lorry, which is incredibly unlikely.
Valet mode comes as an option with your ghost immobiliser. When activated, the glove box and trunk will be locked, so that anyone who steals your car will not be able to take any personal items to take. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla Ghost 2 immobiliser to ensure it can't be driven at speeds of more than 70mph. It also will disable absurd modes. It will also lock your driver profiles and hide your home or work addresses to ensure that no one other person can access your private data on your Tesla dashboard.
If you wish to use your vehicle for valet parking, or for service, choose the 'Valet/Service mode' in the dashboard app. Enter your 4-digit valet code on the touchscreen. Once you have done this the alarm functions will be disabled, but it will still hinder the ability to start your car until a valid pin has been entered. This is a great option for those who need to give their vehicle to others, such as taxi drivers and garage mechanics.
The first-ever aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser
The Autowatch Ghost is the world's first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser. It offers security that is unparalleled by any other product available today. It guards against key cloning and hacking and even the theft of keys. This is accomplished through a partnership with your vehicle's current interface. It does not require additional fobs or remotes but integrates into your vehicle's CAN data network. This makes it a "stealth device.
The device is a circuit board that is hidden in the engine control unit (ECU). It functions quietly. Once activated, it'll prevent the car from starting unless a PIN is entered. This is the code you will receive when you request an installation. This number is required to activate valet, disable the alarm, or let you drive away in a vehicle belonging to a family member (if they also have Ghost installed).
It is designed so that it cannot be detected by anyone looking inside your car's interior. It does not transmit radio signals, and will only be heard when it's activated. It can be installed in a variety of locations which makes it virtually impossible to spot. It is also a low-maintenance device and can be used together with other systems such as a tracker (Brand dependent) to provide an all-inclusive anti-theft solution.
Many people opt for a ghost immobiliser as they feel that the standard security measures are not sufficient to protect their pride and joy. Physical deterrents like wheel clamps and steering wheel locks are excellent options, but they are not considered "theft-proof" by thieves since they are easily beaten with the right 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.
