What Is Ghost Immobiliser And How To Utilize What Is Ghost Immobiliser And How To Use
Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern day thieves can take vehicles in just a minute. They make use of the OBD port of the car to hack into the ECU and then duplicate keys using a laptop that is hidden inside the vehicle.
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser prevents this by sending pin codes to the buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels & central console). It is completely invisible to anyone else in your vehicle.
There are no key fobs or LED indicators or other means of locating the vehicle are in place.
The ghost immobiliser is a great way to prevent keyless entry theft and key cloning. This device is designed to protect your vehicle against these types of attacks by blocking the engine once a correct pin code has been entered. This is a very efficient method of safeguarding your car, and even insurance companies recognize it as a precautionary measure that can help reduce the cost of your insurance.
The way in which the ghost works is by connecting to your vehicles CAN data network. Once installed by us at Car Theft Solutions it will only start when you press the exact sequence of buttons using your unique override code. This means that any attempt to start the vehicle without entering this code will be greeted with a loud siren, and the engine won't start. The thief will then realize that they've been taken prisoner and will likely leave the vehicle.
This system has the advantage of not transmitting any signals like a tracker. Thieves cannot use RF receivers to pinpoint your Ghost unit's location. It doesn't emit IR (infrared signals) like standard remote control key fobs and trackers, making it hard to hack or evade.
The Ghost also comes with the valet-mode, which can be activated if you are handing your vehicle to valet to park or service. This will turn off the CAN immobiliser for 30mph, and enables you to use the vehicle in normal mode using your key fob or mobile app. When the vehicle is set up, the Ghost will return to full functionality.

No hacking, cloning or modifying
The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers on the market. It shields your car from hacking or key cloning, making it nearly impossible to steal. The only method to steal your car is to physically remove it. Even then, they won't be able start the engine.
This is due to the fact that unlike other immobilisers which only prevent the vehicle from starting if they don't have your fob, this innovative system actually cuts off your engine control unit so that the vehicle is unable to be started. The system transmits an alert via buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, or centre console. It can only be disarmed with the correct pin code configuration.
Its discreet and sleek design ensures that it will fit into your vehicle seamlessly with no additional keys or LED indicators - it runs independently from your original alarm or tracker. It is a CAN-bus immobiliser, meaning that it is part of the control network of your vehicle and does no interfere with other devices such as your car's key fob or alarm.
In contrast to other systems that depend on codes grabbing or RF scanning this technology is indestructible to thieves because it only transmits an unobtrusive 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. It does this by creating a unique, personalised pin code that needs to be entered to disarm it.
The number of vehicles with keyless entry that are on the road is growing. Thieves are becoming more sophisticated and use devices for cloning that can be purchased through classifieds or online for under PS15. The key fob that is cloned can be used to gain access to the vehicle. A standard immobiliser for vehicles only stops the engine from starting if they have your original key fob, this does not offer enough security and makes it easy for criminals to alter or block signals to unlock the vehicle.
Valet mode
An immobiliser that is standard on your vehicle uses an electronic chip that transmits an alert when you hit your key fob button. The system then searches for the specific code that was that was sent from the key to start the car. If the correct signal isn't received, the system will cut off and stop the engine from beginning. This is the basic principle behind all immobilisers that are sold aftermarket. It's a crucial step to protect your vehicle from being taken away, even if someone has your keys or a device that could boost the signal of your key fob.
A ghost immobiliser does more than just stop this. The system, which is located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes, has been programmed with an unique PIN code that needs to be entered to start the vehicle. This is then locked on your app and no one will ever be able to access it unless they have the exact pin number that you have.
ghost immobiliser fitting will also stop cloning, signal jamming and hacking (which thieves can use to bypass the immobiliser on your vehicle). This means that if someone does somehow get hold of your car keys or key fob, they will not be able to start your vehicle, even if they are parked within only a few feet of it. The only way for them to get your car away would be to physically take it away in a flatbed lorry, which is incredibly 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 take your car away will not have anything personal to take. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla so that it cannot be driven at speeds of more than 70mph. It will also disable insane modes. It will also lock your driver profiles and hide your home / work addresses so that nobody else has access to the private information on your Tesla dashboard.
If you want to use your car for valet parking, or service, choose the 'Valet/Service' mode on your dashboard app. Enter the 4-digit valet number on the touchscreen. After this is done, the alarm functions will be disabled, but it will still hinder the ability to start your car until a valid pin has been entered. This is a great option for those who have to hand their vehicle over to others, such as taxi drivers or garage mechanics.
The first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser for the world
The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser and provides security unmatched by anything on the market today. It shields your car from key cloning, hacking, and even key theft. This is achieved by working alongside your vehicles current interface. It doesn't require additional fobs or remotes and instead works with the vehicle's data network, CAN. This makes it a stealth' gadget.
The device is an invisible circuit board that connects to the engine management system of your car (ECU) and operates in a silent manner. Once activated, it will stop your vehicle from starting until specific PIN is entered. This is a specific number that you will receive when you make an appointment for installation. This number is required to enable valet, deactivate the alarm, or allow you to drive away in a vehicle belonging to a family member (if they also have Ghost installed).
It is designed so that it can't be seen by anyone who looks into your cars interior, it doesn't transmit radio signals and can only be heard when it's activated. It can be installed in a variety of places which makes it virtually impossible to spot. It is also low-maintenance and can be used with other systems like a tracker (Brand dependent) to offer an all-inclusive anti-theft solution.
Many people install an immobiliser ghost because they believe that the standard security measures aren't sufficient to protect their pride and joy. While physical deterrents like locking the steering wheel and wheel clamps are a great option, they are not really considered "theft proof" by thieves since they can be beaten easily with the appropriate tools. A ghost immobiliser is not bypassable by thieves as it is built into the vehicle and, if activated will stop the starter motor as well as the fuel system.
The best part is that ghost immobilisers can be installed as low as PS450 which is a fraction of the cost of other products out there - and it actually will protect your vehicle from being stolen!
