A Brief History Of Ghost Immobiliser In 10 Milestones

Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

Modern thieves can rob a car in under a minute. They make use of the car's OBD port to hack into the ECU & then duplicate a key, all from a laptop hidden in the car.

An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser prevents this by sending a series of pin codes through buttons on your vehicle (steering wheel and central console). It is completely inaccessible to anyone inside your car.

There are no key fobs or LED indications to give away the location of the vehicle.

The ghost immobiliser is the best method to protect against keyless entry theft and key copying. This device safeguards your vehicle from these types of attacks by blocking the engine when the valid pin code has been entered. This is a reliable way to protect your car. Even car insurance companies consider it a security feature that could lower the cost of insurance.

The ghost is connected to your vehicle's CAN data network. Once it is installed by Car Theft Solutions, it is only functional when you enter your personal override code as well as a specific button combination. 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 will then realize that they have been caught and is likely to get out of the vehicle and escape.

The Ghost system has the advantage of not transmitting any signals, like a tracker. Thieves aren't able to utilize RF receivers to determine your ghost immobiliser 2 device's location. It does not emit any IR (infrared signals) like typical remote control key fobs as well as trackers, making it hard to hack or evade.

Another advantage of the ghost is that it features an option for valet parking that can be activated when you give your vehicle for valet parking or servicing. This disables the immobiliser CAN for 30mph, and allows you to operate the vehicle as normal with your key fob or phone app. The Ghost will be fully functional when the vehicle is parked again.

No cloning or hacking

The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced models available. It safeguards your vehicle from key cloning and hacking which makes it almost impossible to steal. The only method to steal your car is to physically tow it away. Even then, they won't be able start the engine.

This is due to the fact that, unlike other immobilisers that simply stop your vehicle from starting if do not have a fob, the Ghost's clever system actually disconnects the engine control unit 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 disarmed using the proper pin code configuration.

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

Unlike other systems that rely on code grabbing or RF scanning this technology is undetectable to thieves as it only sends an unobtrusive sequence of pin codes via the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheel, door panels or central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary device that protects your vehicle from keyless entry and smart key theft by generating an individual, personalized pin code that needs to be entered to disarm it.

With the growing number of keyless entry cars that are on the road, thieves are becoming increasingly sophisticated and using cloning equipment which can be purchased via classifieds or online for less than PS15. They can then use this fob that was cloned to gain entry to your vehicle. A standard vehicle immobiliser only prevents the engine from starting if they have your original key fob, this does not provide enough protection and is easy for criminals to steal or jam signals to unlock the vehicle.

Valet mode

Standard immobilisers installed to your vehicle use an electronic chip that sends an indication. The system will search for the code transmitted by the key to start the car. If the correct signal isn't received, it will cut off and stop the engine from getting started. This is the basis of all aftermarket car immobilisers. It's an essential measure to safeguard your car from being taken away, even if someone has your keys or an accessory that can enhance 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 is programmed with an unique PIN code that needs to be entered in order to start the car. 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 hacking, cloning and signal jamming (which could be used by thieves to circumvent the immobiliser on your vehicle). If a criminal manages to get their hands on your keys to your car or fob, they will not be able to start your car even if it is in a nearby parking lot. They might only steal your car onto the flatbed truck, which is highly unlikely.

Valet mode is an option that comes with your ghost immobiliser. When activated, the glove box and trunk will be locked to ensure that anyone stealing your car will not have any personal items to take with them. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla, so that it is not able to be driven over 70mph. It also will disable absurd modes. It will also conceal your work and home addresses, make your driver profiles secure, and lock your Tesla dashboard so that no one else is able to access the private data.

If you wish to use your vehicle for valet parking or other service-related purposes, simply select the 'Valet/Service' option on your dashboard app and then enter your 4-digit valet number on the touchscreen. The alarm will no longer work, but the car won't start unless you enter an authentic pin. This is a great option for those who have to hand over their vehicle to other people like taxi drivers or garage mechanics.

The world's first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser. It provides security that is unmatched by any other product available today. It safeguards you from key hacking or cloning, and even theft of keys. This is done by utilizing your vehicle's current interface. It does not require additional fobs or remotes but is integrated into the vehicle's CAN data network. This makes it a 'stealth device.

The device is a circuit board that is hidden in the engine control unit (ECU). It operates quietly. Once activated, it'll prevent the car from starting until a PIN is entered. This is the unique number you will receive when you make an appointment to install. This number is required to enable valet, deactivate the alarm, or allow you to leave in a car belonging to a friend (if they also have Ghost installed).

It is designed to ensure that it is not spotted by anyone who looks inside your car's interior. It does not transmit radio signals and is only heard when it's being activated. It can be placed in a variety places, making it nearly impossible to detect. It is also a low-maintenance gadget and can be used in conjunction with other systems such as a tracker (Brand dependant) to offer the most complete anti-theft system.

Many people install an immobiliser ghost because they feel that the existing security measures aren't enough to safeguard their pride and joy. Physical deterrents like wheel clamps and steering wheel locks are great alternatives, but they're not considered "theft-proof" by thieves because they can be easily defeated with the proper tools. Ghost immobilisers are not accessible to thieves since it is integrated into the vehicle and, if activated, would stop the starter motor or fuel system.

The best part is that ghost immobilisers can be installed for as little as PS450 which is a tiny fraction of the price of other options out on the market. And it actually can stop your car from being stolen! If you're looking to add an extra layer of security to your car's pride and joy Contact us today so we can schedule it for you.
