Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

Modern day thieves can steal vehicles in less than a minute. They make use of the car's OBD port to hack into the ECU and then duplicate a new key, all from a hidden laptop in the car.

The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser prevents this by sending pin codes to the buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels and central console). It is completely inaccessible to anyone else in your car.

No key fobs, LED indicators or other ways of locating the vehicle are accessible.

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 once a correct pin code has been entered. This is a highly effective method of safeguarding your vehicle, and insurance companies recognize it as a safety measure that can reduce the cost of your policy.

The ghost connects to the CAN data network in your vehicle. Once installed by Car Theft Solutions, it will only work if you enter your personal code for override and a specific button combination. The engine will not start in the event that you attempt to start your vehicle without the code. The thief will then realize that they've been taken prisoner and will likely leave the vehicle.

One of the main advantages of this system is that it does not transmit any signals, like trackers, which means that thieves are unable to use RF signal receivers to determine the location of your Ghost unit. It also does not transmit any IR (infrared) signals, like the typical remote control key fobs or tracker do, which makes it extremely difficult to deceive or hack.

Another benefit of the ghost is that it has the valet mode which can be activated when you give your vehicle for valet parking or servicing. This will disable the immobiliser CAN for 30mph and allow you to drive just as normal by with your key fob. When the vehicle is set up again, the Ghost will regain full functionality.

No hacking, cloning or altering

The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitting Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers on the market, it protects your vehicle from key cloning and hacking making it nearly impossible to steal. The only way a thief could take your vehicle is physically towing it away, and even then they would not be able to start the engine.

This is due to the fact that, unlike other immobilisers that only stop your car from starting if you do not have a fob, the Ghost's clever system actually cuts off the engine control unit to prevent the vehicle from starting. It works 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 It is this feature that makes the Ghost impossible to break.

Its sleek and discreet design means that it fits in seamlessly into your vehicle, without additional keys or LED indicators It operates on its own, independent of your original alarm or tracker. It's a CAN-bus immobiliser, which means it is part of the control network of your vehicle and does no interfere with existing devices, such as your vehicle's key fob or alarm.

This unique technology isn't easily detected by thieves unlike other systems that use codes grabbing and RF scanning. It simply sends pin codes that are silently transmitted through the buttons on your car'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. It does this by creating an individual, personalized pin code which must be entered to disarm it.

With the growing number of keyless entry cars on the road The thieves are becoming sophisticated and using cloning equipment that can be bought online or through the classifieds for less than PS15. The key fob that is cloned can be used to gain access to the vehicle. A standard vehicle immobiliser stops the engine from starting if they have your original key fob, this does not provide enough protection and it is easy for criminals to spoof or block signals to unlock the vehicle.

Valet mode

A standard immobiliser fitted to your vehicle has an electronic chip that transmits a signal when you hit your key fob button, the system will then look for the particular code you have that was sent from the key to start the car. If the proper signal isn't received, the system will simply cut off and prevent the engine from starting. This is the basic principle behind all immobilisers for cars that are aftermarket. It's a crucial measure to prevent your car from being stolen, even if someone has your keys or an accessory that can boost the signal of your key fob.

However, a ghost immobiliser does not only stop it from happening, it goes much further. The system, which is on the CAN bus of your Mercedes is programmed with a unique PIN code that has to be entered in order to start the vehicle. This is then locked on your application and nobody can ever access it unless they have the same pin that you have.

The system will also stop signal jamming, cloning and hacking (which thieves can use to get around the immobiliser on your vehicle). This means that if a burglar does somehow get hold of your car keys or your key fob, they will not 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, which is highly unlikely.

Valet mode is a standard feature with your ghost immobiliser. When it is turned on, the glove box and trunk of your vehicle will be locked. This means that anyone trying to take your car away will not have anything valuable to take. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla to ensure that it cannot be driven at speeds of more than 70mph, and it will also disable the ridiculous mode. It will also hide your work and home addresses as well as restrict your driver profiles and secure your Tesla dashboard so that no one else is able to access your private information.

If you want to use your car for valet parking, or for service, select the 'Valet/Service' mode on your dashboard app. Enter the 4-digit valet number on the touchscreen. The alarm will no longer work, however the car will not start unless you enter an authentic pin. This is a great option for those who need to hand their vehicle over to others like garage mechanics and taxi drivers.
