Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern criminals can steal a car in under a minute. They use the OBD port of the car to hack into the ECU and then duplicate keys and all with an unprotected laptop inside the vehicle.
An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser stops this by transferring a sequence of pin codes through the existing buttons in your vehicle (steering wheel & central console). It is completely unnoticeable to anyone inside your vehicle.
No key fobs, or LED indications to give away the location of the vehicle.
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 shields your vehicle from these types of attacks by preventing the engine from running when the proper pin code is entered. This is a very effective method of safeguarding your car, and insurance companies see it as a precautionary measure that can help reduce the cost of your insurance.
The ghost is connected to your vehicle's CAN data network. Once it is installed by Car Theft Solutions, it will only work if you enter your personal override code and a specific button combination. The engine will not begin in the event that you attempt to start your vehicle without using the code. The criminal will then realize that they have been caught and is likely to leave the vehicle and escape.
One of the major advantages of this system is that it does not transmit any signals as the tracker, which means that thieves cannot use RF signal receivers to pinpoint the location of your Ghost unit. It doesn't emit IR (infrared signals) like standard remote control key fobs and trackers, making it hard to bypass or hack.
Another benefit of the ghost is that it comes with the valet mode which can be activated when you hand your vehicle over to valet parking or for servicing. This disables the immobiliser CAN for 30mph, and allows you to operate 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 cloning or hacking
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of most advanced on the market. It safeguards your vehicle from key cloning and hacking which makes it almost impossible to steal. The only way a thief could take your vehicle is physically towing it away. Even then, they would not be in a position to start the engine.
This is because unlike other immobilisers which only stop your car from starting if you do not have a fob, the clever system actually cuts off the engine control unit to prevent the vehicle from starting. It operates by transmitting a signal via buttons on your steering wheel or door panel, or on your central console that can only be deactivated by entering the proper pin code configuration, it is this feature that makes the Ghost so hard to crack.
Its sleek and discrete design allows it to be seamlessly into your car without the necessity of additional keys or LED indicators. ghost car immobiliser functions independently of your factory tracker or alarm. It also functions as a bus immobiliser meaning that it is part of the control area network of your vehicle and is not interfering with any existing devices like the built-in key fob or alarm.
In contrast to other systems that depend on code grabbing or RF scanning this technology is completely undetectable by thieves since it sends an unobtrusive sequence of pin codes via existing buttons on your vehicles steering wheel doors, door panels, or the central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary device that defends your vehicle against keyless entry and smart key theft. It does this by creating a unique, personalised pin code that needs to be entered in order to disable it.
The number of vehicles with keyless entry that are on the road is growing. Thieves are becoming sophisticated and use devices to clone your vehicle that can be purchased on the internet or in classifieds under PS15. The cloned key fob could be used to gain access to the vehicle. A standard vehicle immobiliser stops the engine from running only if you have the original key fob. This does not provide enough protection and makes it easy for criminals to alter or jam signals to gain access to the vehicle.
Valet mode
An immobiliser that is standard on your vehicle has an electronic chip that transmits a signal when you hit your key fob button, the system will then look for the specific code that was sent from the key to start the car. If the correct signal isn't received, the system will cut off the signal and stop the engine from beginning. This is the basis of all immobilisers that are sold aftermarket. It's a crucial measure to safeguard your car from being stolen, even if a person has your keys or an accessory that can increase the signal from your key fob.
However, a ghost immobiliser does not 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. This is then locked in your application, and no anyone else will be able to access it without having the same pin as you.
The system will also prevent hacking, cloning and signal jamming (which could be used by thieves to circumvent the immobiliser on your vehicle). If a criminal gets their hands on the keys to your car or fob, they won't be able to start your car even if it is in a nearby parking lot. The only way they could get your car away would be to physically take it off on a flatbed lorry, which is incredibly unlikely.
Valet mode comes as a standard feature with your ghost immobiliser. When activated, the glove box of your car and trunk will be locked so that anyone stealing your car will not be able to take any personal items to carry with them. It also limits the speed of your Tesla to ensure that it cannot be driven at over 70mph, and it will also disable the ridiculous mode. It will also block your driver profiles and hide your home or work addresses so that no one else 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' option on the dashboard app. Enter your 4-digit valet code on the touchscreen. Once you have done this the alarm functions will be disabled however it will prevent you from starting your vehicle until a valid pin has been entered. This is a great option for those who need to give their car over to others for repair, such as taxi drivers or garage mechanics.
