Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern day thieves can rob vehicles within 1 minute. They use the vehicle's OBD port to hack into the ECU & then duplicate a new key, all from a hidden laptop in the car.
An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser blocks this by transferring a sequence of pin codes through buttons on your vehicle (steering wheel & central console). It is completely unnoticeable to anyone in your vehicle.
No key fobs or LED indicators, or any other ways of locating the vehicle are in place.
The ghost immobiliser is a great method to stop keyless entry theft and key cloning. This device safeguards your vehicle from these kinds of attacks by preventing the engine from running when the valid pin code has been entered. This is a highly efficient method of protecting your vehicle, and insurance companies recognize it as a precautionary measure that could help lower the cost of your policy.
The way in which the ghost works is through connecting to your vehicle's CAN data network. Once installed by autowatch ghost immobiliser at Car Theft Solutions it will only start when you press a specific button sequence using your unique 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 major advantages of this system is that it doesn't transmit any signals as a tracker, this means that thieves cannot utilize RF signal receivers in order to determine the location of your Ghost unit. It doesn't emit IR (infrared signals) like typical remote control key fobs as well as trackers, making it difficult to hack or evade.
The Ghost also comes with the valet-mode, which can be activated when you are giving your vehicle to a valet for parking or service. This disables the CAN immobiliser for 30mph, and enables you to use the vehicle as normal with your key fob or smartphone app. If the vehicle is parked up again the Ghost will return to full functionality.

No hacking, cloning, or cloning
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of most advanced on the market. It protects your vehicle from hacking and key cloning and makes it virtually impossible to steal. The only way to steal your car is physically remove it. Even then, they would not be able start the engine.
This is because, unlike other immobilisers which only stop the vehicle from starting if they do not have your fob, this clever system actually disconnects the engine control unit, ensuring that the vehicle is unable to start. It does this by sending a signal to buttons on your steering wheel, door panel or centre console that can only be deactivated by entering the proper pin code configuration It is this feature that makes the Ghost difficult to break.
Its sleek and discrete design allows it to seamlessly into your vehicle without the need for additional keys or LED indicators. It functions independently of the factory tracker or alarm. It is also a CAN bus immobiliser meaning that it sits within the control area network of your vehicle and does not interfere with other devices, such as the built-in key fob or alarm.
In contrast to other systems that rely on RF scanning or code grabbing the Ghost's unique technology is indestructible to thieves because it only transmits an inaudible sequence of pin codes via the buttons that are already present on your vehicle's steering wheel doors, door panels, or the central console. The Ghost is an innovative device that protects your vehicle from keyless entry and smart key theft by generating a unique, personalised pin code which must be entered to deactivate it.
The number of vehicles that have no keyless entry that are on the road is growing. Thieves are getting more sophisticated and are using devices for cloning which can be bought online or in classifieds for under PS15. The cloned key fob can be used to gain access to the vehicle. The standard immobiliser will stop the vehicle from starting if the person who stole it has your original key fob. This isn't enough security, and it's easy for criminals to jam or fake signals to unlock your vehicle.
Valet mode
A standard immobiliser fitted to your vehicle has an electronic chip that transmits an alert when you hit your key fob button. The system then searches for that specific code sent from the key to start the vehicle. If the correct signal isn't received, the system will simply cut off and stop the engine from beginning. This is the basic principle behind all aftermarket immobilisers and is a vital security measure to ensure that your vehicle isn't stolen even if a burglar has your keys or a device to increase the signal from your key fob.
A ghost immobiliser does more than just stop this. The system, which is located on the CAN bus of your Mercedes, is programmed with a unique pin code that needs to be entered in order to start the vehicle. It is then secured on your app and no one is able to access it until they have the same pin that you have.
The system will also stop signal jamming, cloning and hacking (which thieves could use to bypass the immobiliser in your car). This means that if someone does somehow get hold of your car keys or key fob, they will not be in a position to start your vehicle even if in the vicinity of only a few feet of it. They may only be able to steal your car on flatbed trucks, which is highly unlikely.
Valet mode comes as an option that comes with your ghost immobiliser. When activated, the glove box and trunk of your car will be locked. This means that anyone who tries to steal your car will not have anything personal to steal. It will also restrict the speed of your Tesla so that it can't be driven at speeds of more than 70mph, and it will also disable the ridiculous mode. It will also conceal your work and home addresses and restrict your driver profiles and also lock your Tesla dashboard so that no one else can access your private information.
If you want to use your vehicle for valet parking, or service, choose the 'Valet/Service mode' in the dashboard app. Enter your 4-digit valet code on the touchscreen. After you've done this, the alarm functions will be disabled however, it will block the ability to start your car until a valid pin has been entered. This is ideal for those who need to give their vehicle to other people such as taxi drivers and garage mechanics.
The first-ever aftermarket immobiliser for the CAN bus
The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser. It provides security that is unmatched by anything on the market today. It safeguards you from key cloning and hacking and even the theft of keys. This is accomplished by working with your vehicle's current interface. It doesn't require additional remotes or fobs however, it instead connects to the vehicle's data network CAN. This makes it a discreet gadget.
The device is a circuit board that is hidden in your car's engine control unit (ECU). It functions quietly. When activated, it stops your vehicle from starting until specific PIN is entered. This is the code you receive when you book an install. 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 to be invisible from the interior of your car. It doesn't emit radio signals, and only makes sounds when it is activated. It can be placed in many different places and is nearly impossible to identify. It's also low-maintenance, and can be utilized in conjunction with other anti-theft systems like trackers (Brand dependent) for a complete 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. While physical deterrents such as locking the steering wheel and wheel clamps are a good option, they're not necessarily considered "theft proof" by thieves as they can be beaten easily with the appropriate tools. A ghost immobiliser is not an easy target for thieves since it is integrated into the vehicle and, if activated will stop the starter motor as well as the fuel system.
Ghost immobilisers can be installed for only PS450 which is just a fraction of the cost of other products. It also helps stop your vehicle from being taken.
