10 Healthy Ghost Immobiliser Habits

Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

Modern day thieves can take vehicles within 1 minute. They make use of the car's OBD port to hack into the ECU and then duplicate a key, all using an unnoticed laptop inside the car.

An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser blocks this by transferring a sequence of pin codes through buttons that are already in your vehicle (steering wheel & central console). It is completely undetectable by anyone in your car.

No key fobs or LED indications to give away its location

The ghost immobiliser installation immobiliser is a great way to prevent keyless entry theft and key cloning. This device is designed to protect your vehicle from these kinds of attacks, by blocking the engine after a proper pin code has been entered. This is an extremely effective method of safeguarding your car, and even car insurance companies recognise it as a security measure that can help reduce the cost of your insurance.

The way in which the ghost works is by connecting to your vehicle's CAN data network, once installed by us at Car Theft Solutions it will only start when you enter the exact sequence of buttons using your personal 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 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 can't make use of RF receivers to pinpoint your Ghost unit's location. It also does not emit any IR (infrared) signals, like the standard remote key fobs for control or trackers do, which makes it very hard to bypass or hack.

Another benefit of the ghost is that it comes with a valet mode that can be activated when you hand your vehicle over for valet parking or servicing. The immobiliser will be disabled CAN for 30mph and allow you to use your vehicle in normal fashion using your key fob. When the vehicle is parked up again, the Ghost will return to full functioning.

No hacking or cloning

The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers on the market, it protects your vehicle from key cloning or hacking making it near impossible to steal. The only way that a burglar could take your vehicle is by physically towing it away, and even then they would not be in a position to start the engine.

This is because unlike other immobilisers that only stop your vehicle from starting if they do not have your fob, this innovative system actually cuts off the engine control unit, ensuring that the vehicle is unable to start. This system works by sending messages through buttons on the steering wheel, door panel or centre console. It can only be disarmed with the proper pin code configuration.

Its discreet and sleek design ensures that it will fit into your vehicle seamlessly without any additional keys or LED indicators and it operates independently of your alarm system or tracker from factory. It is also a CAN bus immobiliser which means that it sits within the control area network of your vehicle and does not interfere with any existing devices like your vehicle's key fob or alarm.

This unique technology isn't visible to thieves unlike other systems that rely on codes grabbing and RF scanning. It simply sends pin codes silently through the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheels or door panels, or central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary device that safeguards your vehicle from theft of keys that are keyless and smart key theft. It does this by generating an unique pin code that must be entered to disarm the device.

The number of vehicles that have no keyless entry that are on the road is growing. Thieves are getting more sophisticated and are using devices to clone your vehicle that can be purchased through classifieds or online for less than PS15. They can then use this fob that is cloned to gain access to your vehicle. The standard immobiliser can only stop the vehicle from starting if the thief has the original key fob. It's not enough security, and it's easy to get criminals to jam or spoof signals to unlock your vehicle.

Valet mode

An immobiliser that is standard on your vehicle has an electronic chip that sends an alert when you press the key fob button. The system will then search for the specific code that was sent from the key to start the car. If the proper signal isn't detected, it will cut off and prevent the engine from getting started. This is the basis of all immobilisers for cars that are aftermarket. It's a crucial measure to prevent your car from being stolen, even if a person has your keys or a device that could enhance the signal of your key fob.

However, a ghost immobiliser does not only stop that but it also goes a step further. The system, which is located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes is programmed with an unique PIN code that must be entered in order to start the vehicle. This is then locked in your app, and no one else can access it without the same unique pin as you.

The system also stops cloning, hacking and signal jamming (which could be used by thieves to get around the immobiliser in your vehicle). This means that if someone does manage to get your car keys or your key fob, they won't be capable of starting your vehicle even if parked within a few feet of it. The only way to get your car away is to physically transport it away on an oversized lorry that has a flatbed which is highly unlikely.

Valet mode is an option with your ghost immobiliser. When activated, the car's glove box and trunk will be locked to ensure that thieves will not have any personal items to take with them. It will also restrict 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 conceal your home and work addresses, make your driver profiles secure, and lock your Tesla dashboard so that no one else can access your private information.

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

The world's first aftermarket immobiliser for CAN buses

The Autowatch Ghost provides unparalleled security and is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser in the world. It protects you from key hacking or cloning, and even theft of keys. This is achieved through a partnership with your vehicle's current interface. It does not use additional fobs or remotes but integrates into your vehicle's CAN data network. This makes it a discreet' gadget.

The device is an invisible circuit board that connects to the engine management system of your car (ECU) and works silently. When activated, it stops your vehicle from starting until specific PIN is entered. This is the unique number you will receive when you book an install. This number is required to enable valet, deactivate the alarm, or allow you drive away in a car belonging to a friend (if they also have Ghost installed).

It is designed to be invisble from the interior of your car. It does not emit radio signals, and only makes sounds when it is activated. It can be placed in a variety locations, making it almost impossible to spot. It is also low-maintenance and can be used with other systems such as a tracker (Brand dependant) to offer a more complete anti-theft solution.

Many people choose to fit a ghost immobiliser due to the fact that they feel standard security is not enough to prevent their pride and joy from being taken. Physical deterrents such as wheel clamps and steering wheel locks are great options, but they are not considered "theft-proof" by thieves since they can be easily defeated with the right tools. A ghost immobiliser can't, however, be beaten by a burglar as it is covertly integrated inside the vehicle. Its activation activated, it will shut down the components like the starter motor or fuel system.

The most appealing aspect is that ghost immobilisers can be installed as low as PS450, which is less than the cost of other products out on the market. And it actually can protect your vehicle from being stolen! If you're looking for an extra layer of security to ensure your car is secure and safe call us now and we'll book it in for you.
