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 is entered. This is a very efficient method of safeguarding your vehicle, and car insurance companies recognise it as a security measure that can help 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 override code and a specific button combination. This means that any attempt to start the vehicle without entering this code will be met by a loud siren and the engine will not start. The thief then realizes that they are being taken prisoner and will likely leave the vehicle.
This system has the benefit of not transmitting any signals, like a tracker. Thieves cannot make use of RF receivers to pinpoint your Ghost device's location. It doesn't emit IR (infrared signals) like typical remote control key fobs or trackers, making it hard to hack or bypass.

This will disable the immobiliser CAN for 30mph, and allow you to use the vehicle as normal with your key fob or phone app. If the vehicle is parked up, the Ghost will be restored to full functionality.

No hacking or cloning
The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers available on the market. It protects your car from key cloning or hacking making it virtually impossible to steal. The only method to steal your car is to physically remove it. Even then, they wouldn't be able start the engine.
This is because unlike other immobilisers that stop your vehicle from starting if they do not have your fob, this system actually shuts off your engine control unit so that the vehicle can't start. The system transmits a message through buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, or centre console. It is only removed with the proper pin code configuration.
Its sleek and discrete design allows it to seamlessly into your car without the need for additional keys or LED indicators. It runs independently of your factory tracker or alarm. auto ghost immobiliser functions as a bus immobiliser which means that it is part of your vehicle's control area network and doesn't interfere with any other devices such as your vehicle's key fob or alarm.
Unlike other systems that rely on RF scanning or code grabbing the Ghost's unique technology is indestructible to thieves as it only sends a silent sequence of pin codes via the buttons that are already present on your vehicle's steering wheel and door panels as well as 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 deactivate it.
With the increase in keyless entry cars that are on the road The thieves are becoming sophisticated and using cloning equipment that can be purchased online or through the classifieds for less than PS15. They can then use the cloned fob to gain access to your vehicle. A standard vehicle immobiliser only prevents the engine from starting only if you have the original key fob, this does not offer enough security and it is easy for criminals to steal or block signals to unlock the vehicle.
Valet mode
Standard immobilisers fitted to your car use an electronic chip to send signals. The system will then search for the code sent by the key to start the vehicle. If the signal isn't received, the system will cut off the signal and stop the engine from getting started. This is the principle behind all immobilisers that are sold on the market and is a crucial security measure to ensure that your car cannot be stolen, even if someone else has your keys or a device that could boost your key fob signal.
But a ghost immobiliser doesn't only stop it from happening but it also goes a step further. The system, located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes has been programmed with a unique PIN code that must be entered in order to start the car. This is then locked in your app, and only other person can access it without the same pin that you have.
The system will also stop hacking, cloning and signal jamming (which could be used by thieves to bypass the immobiliser in your vehicle). This means that if a burglar manages to steal your car keys or key fob they won't be capable of starting your vehicle even if they're in the vicinity of a few feet of it. The only way for them to escape with your car is to physically take it off on a flatbed lorry which is extremely unlikely.
Valet mode is a handy feature that is included with your ghost immobiliser. When activated, the glove box of your car and trunk will be locked so that anyone who steals your car will not have any personal items to take. It also limits the speed of your Tesla, so that it cannot be driven over 70mph. It will also turn off ludicrous modes. It will also block your driver profiles and hide your home / work addresses so that no one else can access the private information on your Tesla dashboard.
If you wish to use your car as valet parking or service, choose the 'Valet/Service' mode in 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 hinder the ability to start your car without a valid pin entered. This is perfect for people who need to hand their vehicle over to others for repair, such as taxi drivers and garage mechanics.
The first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser on the world

It protects your car from key cloning, hacking and even key theft. It does this by utilizing your vehicle's current interface. It does not require additional remotes or fobs, but instead integrates into the vehicle's CAN data network. This makes it a "stealth' device.

This is a specific number that you will be given when you book an installation. This number will be required to enable valet mode, deactivate the alarm, or allow you to drive away in the car of a friend (if they have a Ghost installed too).

It can be installed in a variety of different places, making it virtually impossible to detect.

Many people opt to install an immobiliser that ghosts due to the fact that they feel standard security isn't enough to protect their pride and joy from being taken. Physical deterrents, such as wheel clamps and locking mechanisms for steering wheels are excellent options, but they are not considered "theft-proof" by thieves because they are easily beaten with the appropriate tools. Ghost immobilisers can't, however, be beaten by a burglar because it is hidden inside the vehicle. If activated, it will shut down the components like the starter motor or fuel system.
