The Myths And Facts Behind Ghost Immobiliser

Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

Modern day thieves can steal vehicles in just a minute. They use the OBD port of the car to hack into the ECU and then duplicate a key, all using an unprotected laptop inside the vehicle.

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

No key fobs, or LED indicators to reveal the location of the vehicle.

The ghost immobiliser is the most effective method to protect against keyless entry theft and key cloning. This device protects your vehicle from these kinds of attacks by preventing the engine from running after a correct pin code is entered. This is a very efficient method of safeguarding your car, and even car insurance companies recognise it as a precautionary measure that can reduce the cost of your insurance.

The ghost connects to the CAN data network of your vehicle. Once it is installed by Car Theft Solutions, it will only work when 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 greeted with a loud siren, and the engine will not start. The criminal then realizes they've been caught and will most likely leave the vehicle.

This system has the advantage of not transmitting any signals like a tracker. Thieves can't make use of RF receivers to pinpoint your Ghost unit's location. It does not emit any IR (infrared signals) like typical remote control key fobs or trackers, making it hard to hack or bypass.

The Ghost also comes with valet-mode which is activated if you are handing your vehicle over to valet to park or service. This will turn off the immobiliser can for 30mph and permit you to drive in normal fashion with your key fob. The Ghost will be fully functional when the vehicle is returned to its parked position.

No cloning, hacking or altering

The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers on the market, it protects your vehicle from key cloning and hacking making it virtually impossible to steal. The only way to steal your car is physically tow it away. Even then, they wouldn't be able start the engine.

This is due to the fact that unlike other immobilisers which simply stop your vehicle from starting if you do not have a fob, the clever system actually shuts off the engine control unit in order to prevent the vehicle from starting. This system works by sending a message through buttons on the steering wheel, door panel or centre console. It is only removed with the correct pin code configuration.

Its sleek and discreet design allows it to be seamlessly into your car without the requirement for additional keys or LED indicators. It operates independently of the factory tracker or alarm. It also functions as a bus immobiliser, which means it sits within the control area network of your vehicle and is not interfering with any other devices such as your vehicle's built in key fob or alarm.

Unlike other systems that depend on codes grabbing or RF scanning the Ghost's unique technology is indestructible to thieves because it only transmits a silent sequence of pin codes via the buttons that are already present on your vehicle's steering wheel, door panels or central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary device that protects your vehicle from theft of keyless entry and smart key theft. It does this by creating an individual pin code that must be entered in order to disarm the device.

With the increasing number of keyless entry cars on the road, thieves are becoming increasingly sophisticated and are using cloning equipment that can be bought online or through the classifieds for less than PS15. The cloned key fob can be used to gain access to the vehicle. A standard immobiliser for vehicles only stops the engine from running if they have your original key fob, this is not enough security and it is easy for criminals to alter or jam signals to gain access to the vehicle.

Valet mode

An immobiliser that is standard on your vehicle is an electronic chip which sends an alert when you press the key fob button, the system will then look for the specific code that was that was sent from the key to start the vehicle. If the signal is not able to be received the system will shut off the power and prevent the vehicle from beginning. This is the basis of all immobilisers that are sold aftermarket. It's a crucial measure to prevent your car from being taken away, even if someone has your keys or a device that could increase the signal from your key fob.

Ghost immobilisers do more than stop this. The system, located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes is programmed with a unique PIN code that needs to be entered to start the vehicle. It is then secured on your app and no one can ever access it unless they have the same unique 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 thief manages to steal your car keys or key fob they won't be in a position to start your vehicle even if just a few feet of it. The only way to take your car away would be to physically take it away on the flatbed of a lorry, which is incredibly unlikely.

Valet mode is an option with your ghost immobiliser. When activated, the glove box and trunk will be locked, so that anyone who steals your car will not have any personal items to take. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla to ensure it can't be driven over 70mph. It will also disable insane modes. It will also block your driver profiles and hide your home / work addresses so that nobody else has access to your personal data on your Tesla dashboard.

If you wish to use your vehicle for valet parking or for service reasons, simply choose the 'Valet/Service' feature on your dashboard app and enter your 4-digit valet number on the touchscreen. Once you have done this the alarm functions will be removed, but it will still hinder the ability to start your car without a valid pin entered. This is perfect for people who have to hand their car over to others, such as taxi drivers or garage mechanics.

It is also low-maintenance and can be used in conjunction with other systems, such as a tracker (Brand dependant) 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. Physical deterrents, such as wheel clamps and steering wheel locks are great options, but they are not considered "theft-proof" by thieves as they can be easily defeated with the appropriate tools.
