Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern day thieves can rob vehicles in just a minute. They make use of the OBD port of the car to hack into the ECU and then duplicate a key, all using a laptop hidden in the vehicle.
An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser prevents this by transferring a sequence of pin codes via the buttons on your vehicle (steering wheel & central console). It is completely invisible to anyone inside your car.
There are no key fobs, LED indicators or other ways of locating the vehicle are available.
The ghost immobiliser is a great method to protect against keyless entry theft and key copying. This device is designed to protect your vehicle from these kinds of attacks, by preventing the engine after a valid pin code is entered. This is an extremely efficient method of safeguarding your car, and car insurance companies recognise it as a security measure that can reduce the cost of your insurance.
The way in which the ghost works is through connecting to your vehicle's CAN data network. Once installed by us at Car Theft Solutions it will only start when you enter the specific sequence of buttons with your personal override code. The engine will not start if you try to start your vehicle without using the code. The thief will then realise that they have been caught and will likely to leave the vehicle and run off.
One of the big advantages of this system is that it does not transmit any signals like the tracker, which means that thieves cannot utilize RF signal receivers in order to locate your Ghost device. It does not emit any IR (infrared signals) like standard remote control key fobs or trackers, making it very difficult to hack or bypass.
Another benefit of the ghost is that it has an option for valet parking that can be activated when you surrender your vehicle to valet parking or for servicing.

No hacking, cloning or altering
The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers available on the market, it protects your car from key cloning and hacking making it near impossible to take. The only method to steal your car is physically remove it. Even then, they won't be able start the engine.
This is because unlike other immobilisers which simply stop your car from starting if you don't have the fob, the Ghost's clever system actually cuts off the engine control unit to stop the vehicle from starting. It operates by sending a signal through buttons on your steering wheel and door panel, as well as your centre 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 seamlessly into your car without the requirement for additional keys or LED indicators. It functions independently of the factory tracker or alarm. It is also a CAN bus immobiliser, which means it is part of the control area network of your vehicle and doesn't interfere with any existing devices like your vehicle's key fob or alarm.
This exclusive technology is not easily detected by thieves, unlike other systems that use codes and RF scanning. It only transmits pin codes in a silent manner through the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheel, door panels, or central console. The Ghost is an innovative device that protects your vehicle from keyless entry and smart key theft by producing a unique, personalised pin code that needs to be entered in order to disable it.
The number of vehicles with keyless entry in circulation is increasing. Thieves are becoming sophisticated and use cloning devices 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. The standard immobiliser can only stop the vehicle from starting if the criminal has the original key fob. It's not enough protection and it's not difficult for criminals to jam or fake signals to unlock your car.
Valet mode
A standard immobiliser fitted to your vehicle has an electronic chip that sends an alert when you press the key fob button. The system will then look for that specific code that was sent from the key to start the vehicle. If the proper signal cannot be detected the system will shut off the power and stop the car from beginning. This is the basic principle behind all aftermarket immobilisers and is a crucial security measure to ensure that your vehicle can't be stolen even if a thief has your keys or a device to boost your key fob signal.
However, a ghost immobiliser does not only stop it from happening but it also goes a step further. The system, which is located on the CAN bus of your Mercedes, is programmed with a unique PIN push sequence that must be entered to start the vehicle. This is then locked in your app, and no anyone else will be able to access it without the same pin that you have.
The system will also stop signal jamming, cloning and hacking (which thieves can employ to bypass the immobiliser in your car). This means that if a burglar manages to steal your car keys or your key fob, they won't be able to start your car even if they're parked within only a few feet of it. They might only steal your car on flatbed trucks and that's highly unlikely.
Valet mode is a standard feature with your ghost immobiliser. When activated the glove box and trunk of your vehicle will be locked. This means that anyone attempting to steal your car will not have anything valuable to take. It also limits the speed of your Tesla, so that it cannot be driven at speeds of more than 70mph. It will also turn off ludicrous modes. It will also lock your driver profiles and conceal your home and work addresses so that no one other person can access your private data on your Tesla dashboard.
If you wish to use your car as valet parking, or service, choose the 'Valet/Service' option on the dashboard app. Enter the 4-digit valet number on the touchscreen. After you've done this, the alarm functions will be disabled however, it will block the ability to start your vehicle without a valid pin entered. This is ideal for people who have to hand over their vehicle to others, such as taxi drivers and garage mechanics.
The first-ever aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser
The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser. It offers security that is unparalleled by anything available today. It protects you from key hacking or cloning, and even the theft of keys. This is accomplished by working alongside your vehicles current interface. It doesn't require any additional remotes or fobs, but instead integrates with the vehicle's data network, CAN. This makes it a stealth' gadget.
The device is a hidden circuit board that connects to your car's engine management system (ECU) and operates in a silent manner. When activated, it stops your vehicle from starting until specific PIN is entered. This is a unique number you will receive when you make an appointment for installation. This number is required to activate valet, turn off the alarm, or let you drive away in a friend's car (if they also have Ghost installed).
It is designed to blend in from the interior of your car. It doesn't emit radio signals, and only sounds when it is activated. It can be fitted in a variety locations, making it almost impossible to spot. It is also low-maintenance and can be fitted in conjunction with other systems such as a tracker (Brand dependant) to offer an all-inclusive anti-theft solution.
Many people opt to put in a ghost immobiliser because they feel that the standard security isn't enough to stop their joy and pride from being stolen. Physical deterrents such as wheel clamps and steering wheel locks are excellent options, but they are not considered "theft-proof" by thieves because they are easily beaten with the proper tools. A ghost immobiliser is not accessible to thieves since it is built into the vehicle and, if activated, would stop the starter motor as well as the fuel system.
The best part is that ghost immobilisers can be installed for as little as PS450 which is less than the price of other options out on the market. And it actually will prevent your car from being stolen! If you're looking to add a layer of security to your car's pride and joy call us today to make sure we can arrange it for you.
