Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern day thieves can take vehicles in less than a minute. They use the OBD port of the vehicle to hack into the ECU and then duplicate a key using a laptop that is hidden inside the vehicle.
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 undetectable to anyone in your vehicle.
There are no key fobs or LED indicators to indicate its location
If you're looking for a method to stop keyless entry theft or key cloning, then look at the ghost immobiliser. This device protects your vehicle from these types of attacks by preventing the engine from running after a valid pin code has been entered. This is an effective way to protect your car. Insurance companies recognize it as a security feature that can lower the cost of a policy.
The way that the ghost operates 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 a specific button sequence using your personalised override code. The engine won't start if you try to start your vehicle without using the code. The thief will then realize that they've been caught and will most likely leave the vehicle.
One of the main advantages of this system is that it doesn't transmit any signals, like the tracker, which means that thieves are unable to make use of RF signal receivers to pinpoint the location of your Ghost device. It doesn't emit IR (infrared signals) like typical remote control key fobs or trackers, making it difficult to hack or evade.
The Ghost also has valet-mode which can be activated if you are transferring your vehicle over to an individual for parking or service. This will turn off the immobiliser CAN for 30mph, and enables you to use the vehicle in normal mode using your key fob or phone app. The Ghost will be fully functional when the vehicle is returned to its parked position.

The only way to steal your car is physically remove it. Even then, autowatch ghost immobiliser won't be able start the engine.
This is due to the fact that unlike other immobilisers that only stop your vehicle from starting if they don't have your fob, this system actually shuts off the engine control unit, ensuring that the vehicle can't be started. It works by transmitting a signal via buttons on your steering wheel and door panel, as well as your centre console that can only be disarmed by entering the correct pin code It is this feature that makes the Ghost so hard to crack.
Its sleek and discreet design allows it to fit seamlessly into your vehicle without additional keys or LEDs It operates on its own, independent of your alarm system or tracker from factory. It's a CAN bus immobiliser, meaning that it sits in your vehicle's control network and doesn't interfere with existing devices like the key fob in your vehicle or alarm.
Contrary to other systems that rely on codes grabbing or RF scanning, this unique technology is undetectable to thieves since it sends an inaudible sequence of pin codes through the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheel and door panels as well as the central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary product that protects your vehicle from keyless entry theft and smart key theft. It does this by generating an individual pin code that must be entered in order to disarm the device.
With the increasing number of keyless entry cars that are on the road The thieves are becoming sophisticated and utilizing cloning devices which can be purchased via classifieds or online for less than PS15. They can then use the fob that was cloned to gain entry to your vehicle. A standard vehicle immobiliser prevents the engine from starting if they have your original key fob. This does not provide enough protection and is easy for criminals to alter or block signals to unlock the vehicle.
Valet mode
A standard immobiliser fitted to your vehicle uses an electronic chip that sends a signal when you press the key fob button, the system will then search for the particular code you have sent from the key to start the car. If the signal isn't received, it will cut off and stop the engine from getting started. This is the principle behind all immobilisers for cars that are aftermarket. It is a vital step to protect your vehicle from being stolen, even if a person has your keys or an accessory that can boost the signal of your key fob.
A ghost immobiliser does more than simply stop this. The system, which is on the CAN bus of your Mercedes, is programmed with a unique PIN code push sequence that must be entered to start the vehicle. The app is then locked your app and no one is able to access it until they have the exact pin that you have.
The system also stops cloning, hacking and signal jamming (which could be used by thieves to bypass the immobiliser in your vehicle). This means that if someone does manage to get your car keys or key fob, they will not be able to start your vehicle even if 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 highly unlikely.
Valet mode comes as an option that comes with your ghost immobiliser. When it is turned on the glove box as well as trunk of your vehicle will be locked. This means that anyone attempting to take your car away will not have anything valuable to take. It also limits the speed of your Tesla, so that it is not able to be driven at speeds of more than 70mph. It will also turn off ludicrous modes. It will also hide your home and work addresses, make your driver profiles secure, and also lock your Tesla dashboard so that no one else can access the private data.
If you would like to use your car as valet parking, or for service, select the 'Valet/Service' option on your dashboard app. Enter your 4-digit valet code onto the touchscreen. The alarm won't be activated, but the car will not start unless you enter a valid pin. This is a great option for those who need to give their vehicle to other people like taxi drivers or garage mechanics.
The first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser in the world
The Autowatch Ghost provides unbeatable security and is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser in the world. It protects you from key hacking or cloning, and even theft of keys.

This is a unique number that you will be given when you make an appointment for installation. This number is needed to activate valet mode, turn off the alarm, or allow you to leave in the car of a friend (if they have a Ghost installed as well).
It is designed to be invisible from the inside of your car. It doesn't emit radio signals, and only makes sounds when it is activated. It can be placed in a variety of different locations, making it almost impossible to spot. It is also a low-maintenance gadget and can be incorporated with other systems such as a tracker (Brand dependant) to offer an all-inclusive anti-theft solution.
Many people opt for an immobiliser ghost because they feel that the standard security measures aren't enough to safeguard their pride and joy. Whilst physical deterrents like steering wheel locks and wheel clamps are an excellent option, they're not actually considered "theft proof" by thieves as they can be beaten easily with the appropriate tools.
