Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern thieves can steal a vehicle in under a minute. They make use of the car's OBD port to hack the ECU and then duplicate a key, all using a laptop hidden in the car.
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser will prevent this by sending pin codes to the buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels & central console). It is completely invisible to anyone in your car.
No key fobs or LED indicators, or any other ways of locating the vehicle are in place.
If you're looking for a way to stop keyless entry theft or key cloning, then look no further than the ghost immobiliser. This device is designed to safeguard your vehicle against these types of attacks, by blocking the engine after a proper pin code is entered. This is a highly efficient method of safeguarding your vehicle, and car insurance companies recognise it as a safety measure that can reduce the cost of your policy.
The ghost is connected to the CAN data network in your vehicle. Once it is installed by Car Theft Solutions, it is only functional when you enter your personal code for override and a specific button combination. This means that any attempt to start the vehicle without entering this code will be greeted with a loud siren, and the engine will not start. The thief then realizes that they have been caught and will likely abandon the vehicle.
This system has the benefit of not transmitting any signals like the tracker. Thieves aren't able to make use of RF receivers to pinpoint your Ghost device's location. It does not emit any IR (infrared signals) like typical remote control key fobs or trackers, making it hard to bypass or hack.
The Ghost also has the valet-mode, which can be activated if you are giving your vehicle to an individual for parking or service. This will turn off the immobiliser CAN for 30mph, and enables you to use the vehicle as normal with your key fob or smartphone app. The Ghost will be fully functional when the vehicle is back in its parking spot.

No hacking, cloning or modifying
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced immobilisers on the market. It shields your vehicle from hacking and key cloning which makes it almost impossible to steal. The only way a thief could steal your car is by physically towing it away. Even then, they wouldn't be in a position to start the engine.
This is because unlike other immobilisers that only stop your car from starting if you don't have a fob, the innovative system actually cuts off the engine control unit in order to prevent the vehicle from starting. It operates by sending a signal through buttons on your steering wheel, door panel or centre console which can only be disabled by entering the correct pin code configuration It is this feature that makes the Ghost so hard to crack.
Its sleek and discrete design allows it to fit seamlessly into your vehicle without the requirement for additional keys or LED indicators. It runs independently of your factory alarm or tracker. It is also a CAN bus immobiliser, which means it is part of the control area network of your vehicle and does not interfere with any other devices such as your vehicle's key fob or alarm.
Contrary to other systems that rely on code grabbing or RF scanning this technology is undetectable to thieves as it only sends a silent sequence of pin codes via existing buttons on your vehicles steering wheel and door panels as well as the central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary device that protects your vehicle against keyless entry and smart key theft by generating a unique, personalised pin code which must be entered to deactivate it.
The number of vehicles with keyless entry in circulation is increasing. Thieves are becoming sophisticated and use cloning devices which can be bought through classifieds or online for less than PS15. The cloned key fob could be used to gain access to the vehicle. The standard immobiliser will stop the car from starting if the person who stole it has the original key fob. This is not enough protection and it's not difficult for criminals jam or spoof signals to unlock your vehicle.
Valet mode
An immobiliser that is standard on your vehicle uses an electronic chip that sends the signal when you press your key fob button. The system then searches for the specific code that was sent from the key to start the car. If the proper signal cannot be detected, the system will cut off the power and prevent the car from beginning. This is the basic principle behind all aftermarket car immobilisers. It's a crucial measure to safeguard your car from being taken away, even if someone has your keys or an accessory that can boost the signal of your key fob.
However, a ghost immobiliser doesn't only stop it from happening however, it goes far beyond that. The system, which sits on the CAN bus of your Mercedes, is programmed with a unique PIN code that needs to be entered to start the vehicle. The app is then locked your application and nobody can ever access it unless they have the exact pin you have.
The system also stops hacking, cloning, and signal jamming (which can be used by thieves to bypass the immobiliser inside your car). This means that if a thief manages to steal your car keys or your key fob, they will not be capable of starting your car even if they're in the vicinity of only a few feet of it. The only way for them to escape with your car is to physically take it off on an oversized lorry that has a flatbed which is extremely unlikely.
Valet mode comes as an option with your ghost immobiliser. When it is activated the car's glove box and trunk will be locked, so that anyone stealing your car will not have any personal items to take. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla so that it can't be driven at speeds of more than 70mph and will disable ludicrous mode. It will also conceal your work and home addresses, restrict your driver profiles and also lock your Tesla dashboard so that no one else is able to access your private data.
If you want to make use of your car for valet parking or service purposes, just select the 'Valet/Service' option on your dashboard app and enter your 4-digit valet number on the touchscreen. After you've done this, the alarm functions will be bypassed, but it will still block the ability to start your vehicle until a valid pin has been entered. This is a great option for those who need to transfer their vehicle to other people such as taxi drivers and garage mechanics.
The first-ever aftermarket immobiliser for CAN buses
The Autowatch Ghost offers unparalleled security and is the only aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser in the world. It safeguards you from key hacking or cloning, and even the theft of keys. This is accomplished by working alongside your vehicles current interface. It does not use remotes or fobs in addition to it but integrates into your vehicle's CAN data network. This makes it a 'stealth' device.
The device is a hidden circuit board that connects to your car's engine management system (ECU) and operates in a silent manner. Once activated, it will stop the car from starting until the PIN is entered. This is the unique number that you will receive when you request an installation. This number will be needed to activate valet mode, deactivate the alarm or permit you to leave in your friends car (if they have a Ghost installed as well).
It is designed so that it cannot be detected by anyone who is looking inside your car's interior. It it doesn't transmit radio signals, and is only heard when it's being activated. It can be placed in a variety of locations and is nearly impossible to detect. It's also low-maintenance, and can be used in conjunction with other anti-theft systems, such as trackers (Brand dependent) to offer an all-inclusive solution.
Many people choose to install ghost immobilisers because they feel that the standard security measures aren't sufficient to safeguard their pride and joy. Physical deterrents, such as wheel clamps and steering wheel locks are great alternatives, but they are not considered "theft-proof" by thieves since they can be easily defeated with the appropriate tools. Ghost immobilisers can't, however, be deceived by thieves since it is concealed inside the vehicle. If activated, it would shut down parts such as the starter motor or fuel system.
The most appealing aspect is that ghost immobilisers can be installed as low as PS450 which is a fraction of the price of other options out there - and it actually does stop your car from being taken away!
