Ghost Immobiliser 101 Your Ultimate Guide For Beginners
Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern day thieves can steal vehicles in just a minute. They make use of the OBD port of the vehicle to hack into the ECU and then duplicate keys and all with a laptop hidden in the vehicle.
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser will prevent this by sending pin codes to the buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels & central console). It is completely undetectable by anyone inside your car.
No key fobs or LED indicators or other ways to locate the vehicle are in place.
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 from these kinds of attacks by blocking the engine after a proper pin code has been entered. This is a great method to safeguard your vehicle. Insurance companies recognize it as a safety feature that could lower the cost of a policy.
The way the ghost works is by connecting to your vehicles CAN data network. Once installed by us at Car Theft Solutions it will only begin when you press the specific sequence of buttons with your personalised override code. This means that any attempt to start the vehicle without entering this code will be greeted with a loud alarm, and the engine will not start. The criminal then realizes they've been taken prisoner and will likely leave the vehicle.
One of the main advantages of this system is that it doesn't transmit any signals as a tracker, this means that thieves can't utilize RF signal receivers in order to determine the location of your Ghost device. It also doesn't transmit any IR (infrared) signals like the usual remote key fobs to control the device or tracker do, which makes it extremely difficult to deceive or hack.
The Ghost also comes with a valet-mode that can be activated if you are handing your vehicle to an individual for parking or service. This will disable the immobiliser CAN for 30mph, and allows you to operate the vehicle as normal with your key fob or smartphone app. If the vehicle is parked up again, the Ghost will be restored to full functioning.

No hacking, cloning, or altering
The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers available on the market, it protects your vehicle from hacking or key cloning, making it virtually impossible to steal. The only method to steal your car is to physically remove it. Even then, they won't be able to start the engine.
This is because, unlike other immobilisers which only prevent the car from starting if they do not have your fob, this system actually shuts off the engine control unit so that the vehicle can't be started. This system works by sending an alert via buttons on the steering wheel, door panel or the centre console. It is only disarmed with the proper pin code configuration.
Its sleek and discrete design ensures that it will fit in seamlessly into your vehicle, without additional keys or LEDs - it runs independently from your alarm system or tracker from factory. It also functions as a CAN bus immobiliser meaning that it sits within the control area network of your vehicle and does not interfere with any other devices such as your vehicle's key fob or alarm.
This exclusive technology is not detectable by thieves, unlike other systems that employ codes and RF scanning. It only sends pin codes silently 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 by producing an individual, personalized pin code that needs to be entered in order to disable it.
With the increasing number of keyless entry cars on the road, thieves are becoming increasingly sophisticated and utilizing cloning devices which can be purchased on the internet or in the classifieds for less than 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 thief has your original key fob. It's not enough protection and it's very easy for criminals to jam or fake signals to unlock the vehicle.
Valet mode
Standard immobilisers installed to your car use an electronic chip that sends a signal. The system will search for the code sent by the key to start the vehicle. If the correct signal isn't received, it will cut off the signal and prevent the engine from getting started. This is the principle behind all immobilisers for cars that are aftermarket. It is a vital measure to safeguard your car from being stolen, even if someone has your keys or an accessory that can boost the signal of your key fob.
But a ghost immobiliser doesn't only stop it from happening, it goes much further. The system, which is located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes is programmed with a unique pin code that must be entered in order to start the car. The app is then locked your application and nobody is able to access it until they have the exact pin you have.
The system will also stop hacking, cloning and signal jamming (which could be used by thieves to circumvent the immobiliser inside your car). This means that if a burglar does somehow get hold of your car keys or key fob, they will not be capable of starting your car even if in the vicinity of the distance of a few feet. The only way for them to get your car away is to physically transport it away on an oversized lorry that has a flatbed, which is incredibly unlikely.
Valet mode is an option that comes 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 steal your car will not have anything personal to steal. It will also limit 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 / work addresses to ensure that no one else has access to your private data on your Tesla dashboard.
If you wish to use your car for valet parking, or for service, select the 'Valet/Service mode' on your dashboard app. Enter your 4-digit valet code onto the touchscreen. After you've done this, the alarm functions will be removed, but it will still prevent you from starting your car until a valid pin has been entered. This is ideal for those who have to hand over their car to others like taxi drivers or garage mechanics.

Many people opt to put in an immobiliser ghost because they believe that the standard security isn't enough to protect their joy and pride from being stolen. While physical deterrents such as locking the steering wheel and wheel clamps are a great option, they are not necessarily considered "theft proof" by thieves because they can be beaten easily using the proper tools.
