Why Ghost Immobiliser Is Right For You?

Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

Modern thieves can steal a vehicle within a matter of minutes. They use the OBD port of the vehicle to hack into the ECU and then duplicate the key, all using a laptop that is hidden inside the vehicle.

An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser prevents this by sending a series of pin codes through buttons that are already in your vehicle (steering wheel and central console). It is completely undetectable by anyone in your car.

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

If you're looking for a method to stop keyless entry theft or key cloning then you should look at the ghost immobiliser. This device safeguards your vehicle from these types of attacks by blocking the engine after a proper pin code is entered. This is a very efficient method of protecting your vehicle, and insurance companies recognize it as a precautionary measure that can reduce the cost of your insurance.

The way that the ghost operates is through connecting to your vehicle's CAN data network, once installed by us at Car Theft Solutions it will only begin when you press the exact sequence of buttons using your personalised override code. The engine won't start in the event that you attempt to start your vehicle without having the code. The criminal will then realize that they've been caught and are likely to abandon the vehicle and escape.

One of the major advantages of this system is that it does not transmit any signals as trackers, which means that thieves are unable to make use of RF signal receivers to locate your Ghost unit. It does not emit any IR (infrared signals) like typical remote control key fobs or trackers, making it very difficult to hack or bypass.

The Ghost also comes with the valet-mode, which is activated if you are handing your vehicle over to a valet for parking or service. This will disable the immobiliser CAN for 30mph and allow you to use your vehicle in normal fashion with your key fob. When the vehicle is parked up again the Ghost will be restored to full function.

No cloning, hacking or modifying

The Autowatch auto ghost immobiliser immobiliser is one of most advanced on the market. It safeguards your vehicle from hacking and key cloning, making it nearly impossible to take. The only way that a burglar could steal your vehicle is physically towing it away. Even then, they would not be in a position to start the engine.

This is because, unlike other immobilisers that only stop your car from starting if you don't have your fob, this clever system actually disconnects your engine control unit so that the vehicle can't start. It does this by sending a signal through buttons on your steering wheel, door panel or centre console which can only be disabled by entering the proper pin code configuration This feature that makes the Ghost so hard to crack.

Its sleek and discrete design ensures that it will fit into your vehicle seamlessly without additional keys or LEDs and it operates independently of your factory alarm or tracker. It is a CAN-bus immobiliser, which means it is part of your vehicle's control network and does no interfere with existing devices, such as your vehicle's key fob or alarm.

Contrary to other systems that rely on code grabbing or RF scanning the Ghost's unique technology is indestructible to thieves since it sends a silent sequence of pin codes via existing buttons on your vehicles 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 by producing an individual, personalized pin code that must be entered to deactivate it.

With the increasing number of keys-less entry vehicles on the road, thieves are becoming increasingly sophisticated and utilizing cloning devices that can be bought on the internet or in the classifieds for less than PS15. They can then use the fob that was cloned to gain entry to your vehicle. A standard vehicle immobiliser stops the engine from starting if they have your original key fob, this does not provide enough protection and makes it easy for criminals to steal or block signals to unlock the vehicle.

Valet mode

A standard immobiliser fitted to your vehicle has an electronic chip that 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 proper signal cannot be detected the system will cut off power and prevent the vehicle from beginning. This is the basis of all aftermarket car immobilisers. It is a vital measure to prevent your car from being stolen, even if someone has your keys or an accessory that can increase the signal from your key fob.

A ghost immobiliser does more than stop this. The system, which sits on the CAN bus of your Mercedes, is programmed with a unique PIN that needs to be entered in order to start the vehicle. It is then secured in your app, and no other person can access it without the same pin as you.

The system will also prevent hacking, cloning, and signal jamming (which could be used by thieves to bypass the immobiliser inside your car). This means that if a thief manages to steal your car keys or key fob, they won't be able to start your car even if in the vicinity of the distance of a few feet. The only way to take your car away is to physically take it off on a flatbed lorry which is highly unlikely.

Valet mode is a handy feature that is included with your ghost immobiliser. When it is turned on the glove box as well as trunk of your vehicle will be locked. This means that anyone attempting to steal your car will not have anything personal to take. It also limits the speed of your Tesla to ensure that it cannot be driven at speeds of more than 70mph. It also will disable absurd modes. It will also lock your driver profiles and hide your home or work addresses to ensure that no one other person can access your private data on your Tesla dashboard.

If you want to use your vehicle for valet parking or service reasons, simply choose the 'Valet/Service' mode on your dashboard app and enter the 4-digit valet pin you have on the touchscreen. After this is done, the alarm functions will be removed however it will prevent you from starting your vehicle unless a valid pin is entered. This is ideal for those who have to hand over their car to others such as taxi drivers and garage mechanics.

The first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser

The Autowatch Ghost provides unparalleled security and is the first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser in the world. It safeguards you from key cloning or hacking, and even the theft of keys. This is done through the vehicle's current interface. It does not use remotes or fobs in addition to it but integrates into your vehicle's CAN data network. This makes it a 'stealth' device.

The device is an invisible circuit board that connects to the engine management system of your car (ECU) and works silently. Once activated, it'll prevent the car from starting until you enter a PIN. This is the unique number you will receive when you book an install. This number is required to activate valet, disable the alarm, or allow you to drive away in a vehicle belonging to a family member (if they also have Ghost installed).

It is designed in a way that it is not spotted by anyone who is looking into your cars interior, it doesn't transmit radio signals and can only be heard when it's activated. It can be placed in a variety places, making it nearly impossible to spot. It's also low-maintenance and can be used in conjunction with other anti-theft systems, such as trackers (Brand dependent), to provide the complete solution.

Many people install an immobiliser ghost because they feel that the existing security measures are not sufficient to safeguard their pride and joy. Physical deterrents like wheel clamps and locking mechanisms for steering wheels are excellent alternatives, but they are not considered "theft-proof" by thieves because they can be easily defeated with the appropriate tools. Ghost immobilisers can't, however, be bypassed by a thief because it is hidden inside the vehicle. If activated, it will shut down the components like the starter motor or fuel system.
