Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern day thieves can rob vehicles in less than a minute. They make use of the OBD port of the vehicle to hack into the ECU and then duplicate a key using an unprotected laptop inside the vehicle.
An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser stops this by transferring a sequence of pin codes via the existing buttons in your vehicle (steering wheel & central console). It is completely invisible to anyone in your car.
There are no key fobs or LED indications to give away its location
If you're looking for a method to stop keyless entry theft or key cloning then you should look at the ghost immobiliser. This device safeguards your vehicle from these types of attacks by blocking the engine after a correct pin code is entered. This is a reliable method to safeguard your vehicle. Insurance companies recognize it as a security feature that could lower the cost of a policy.
The way that the ghost operates is by connecting to your vehicles CAN data network, once installed by us at Car Theft Solutions it will only start when you enter a specific button sequence using your unique override code. The engine will not start if you try to start your vehicle without the code. The thief then realizes that they are being taken prisoner and will likely leave the vehicle.
This system has the advantage of not transmitting any signals like a tracker. Thieves can't use RF receivers to pinpoint your Ghost device's location. It doesn't emit IR (infrared signals) like typical remote control key fobs and trackers, making it hard to hack or evade.
Another benefit of the ghost is that it comes with a valet mode that can be activated when you hand your vehicle over to valet parking or for servicing. This will disable the immobiliser CAN for 30 mph and allow you to use your vehicle just as normal by using your key fob. When the vehicle is set up again the Ghost will return to full functionality.

No hacking, cloning, or modifying
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of most advanced on the market. It shields your vehicle from hacking and key cloning, making it nearly impossible to take. The only way thieves could steal your vehicle is physically towing it away. Even then, they wouldn't be able to start the engine.
This is because unlike other immobilisers which only stop your car from starting if you don't have the fob, the clever system actually disconnects the engine control unit in order to prevent the vehicle from starting. It does this by sending a signal through buttons on your steering wheel or door panel, or on your central console that can only be disarmed by entering the correct pin code configuration It is this feature that makes the Ghost so hard to crack.
Its sleek and discreet design means that it fits seamlessly into your vehicle 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 sits within your vehicle's control area network and does not interfere with other devices, such as your vehicle's built in key fob or alarm.
This unique technology is not detectable by thieves unlike other systems that rely on codes and RF scanning. It only sends pin codes silently through the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheel doors, door panels or central console. The Ghost is an innovative device that protects your vehicle against keyless entry and smart key theft by producing an individual, personalized pin code that must be entered to disarm it.
The number of vehicles with keyless entry in circulation is increasing. Thieves are becoming more sophisticated and are using devices to clone your vehicle that can be purchased through classifieds or online for under PS15. The cloned key fob could be used to gain access to the vehicle. A standard vehicle immobiliser only prevents the engine from starting only if you have the original key fob. This does not offer enough security and is easy for criminals to alter or jam signals to gain access to the vehicle.
Valet mode
An immobiliser that is standard on your vehicle uses an electronic chip that sends the signal when you press the key fob button. The system then searches for the particular code you have that was 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 basic principle behind all immobilisers that are sold on the market and is a vital security measure to ensure that your vehicle cannot be stolen, even if a thief has your keys or a device to increase the signal from your key fob.
However, a ghost immobiliser doesn't just stop it, it goes much further. 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 will ever be able to access it unless they have the same pin number that you have.
The system will also stop hacking, cloning and signal jamming (which could be used by thieves to bypass the immobiliser in your vehicle). This means that if a thief does manage to get your car keys or key fob they won't be able to start your vehicle even if they're in the vicinity of only a few feet of it. The only way they could escape with your car would be to physically take it off on an oversized lorry that has a flatbed which is highly unlikely.
Valet mode is a handy feature that is included with your ghost immobiliser. When it is turned on, the glove box and trunk of your car will be locked. This means that anyone attempting to steal your car will not have anything personal to steal. It also limits the speed of your Tesla so that it can't be driven at over 70mph and disables ludicrous mode. It will also hide your work and home addresses as well as lock your driver profiles, and lock your Tesla dashboard so that nobody else has access to access your private information.
If you want to use your car as valet parking, or for service, choose the 'Valet/Service' mode on your dashboard app. Enter the 4-digit valet number on the touchscreen. The alarm won't work, however the car won't begin until you have entered a valid pin. This is a great option for those who have to hand their car over to others like garage mechanics and taxi drivers.
The first aftermarket immobiliser for the CAN bus
The Autowatch Ghost offers unparalleled security and is the only aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser in the world. It safeguards your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and even key theft. This is accomplished by working alongside your vehicles current interface. It doesn't require additional remotes or fobs, but instead integrates with the vehicle's data network, CAN. This makes it a 'stealth device.
The device is an invisible circuit board that connects to the engine management system in your car (ECU) and functions in a non-silent manner. Once activated, it will stop your vehicle from starting until a specific PIN is entered. This is the number you will receive when you make an appointment to install. This number will be required to enable valet mode, turn off the alarm or permit you to leave in the car of a friend (if they have a Ghost installed as well).
It is designed in a way that it cannot be detected by anyone who is looking into your cars interior, it doesn't transmit radio signals, and can only be heard ghost car immobiliser when it's being activated. It can be fitted in a variety of different places, making it virtually impossible to spot. It's also low-maintenance, and can be used in combination with other anti-theft devices, such as trackers (Brand dependent), to provide the complete solution.
Many people choose to install an immobiliser ghost because they feel that the standard security measures are not sufficient to protect their pride and joy. While physical deterrents such as locking the steering wheel and wheel clamps are an excellent option, they're not really considered "theft proof" by thieves because they can be beaten easily using the appropriate tools. A ghost immobiliser is not an easy target for thieves since it is integrated into the vehicle and, if activated, would stop the starter motor or the fuel system.
The most appealing aspect is that ghost immobilisers can be installed for as low as PS450 which is a fraction of the price of other options out on the market. And it actually will protect your vehicle from being taken away!
