The Little-Known Benefits Of Ghost Immobiliser

Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

Modern day thieves can steal vehicles in less than a minute. They use the cars OBD port to hack into the ECU and then duplicate a new key, all from a hidden laptop in the car.

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

No key fobs, LED indicators or other means to locate the vehicle are available.

The ghost immobiliser is the most effective way to prevent keyless entry theft and key cloning. This device protects your vehicle from these kinds of attacks by blocking the engine when the proper pin code is entered. This is a highly efficient method of safeguarding your vehicle, and insurance companies see it as a security measure that could help lower the cost of your policy.

The way that the ghost operates is by connecting to your vehicles 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 realise that they've been caught and are likely to get out of the vehicle and run off.

One of the main advantages of this system is that it doesn't transmit any signals like the tracker, which means that thieves are unable to utilize RF signal receivers in order to pinpoint the location of your Ghost device. It also does not send out any IR (infrared) signals like the typical remote key fobs to control the device or tracker do, making it difficult to deceive or hack.

The Ghost also has a valet-mode that can be activated if you are handing your vehicle to a valet for parking or service. This will disable the CAN immobiliser for 30mph, and enables you to use the vehicle in normal mode using your key fob or phone app. The Ghost will function fully when the vehicle is parked again.

They can then use the fob that was cloned to gain entry to your vehicle. The standard immobiliser will only stop the car from starting if the person who stole it 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 car.

Valet mode

Standard immobilisers that are fitted to your vehicle use an electronic chip to send a signal. The system will then search for the code sent by the key to begin the vehicle. If the proper signal cannot be detected the system will shut off the power and stop the vehicle from starting. This is the basic principle behind all aftermarket immobilisers and is a crucial security measure to ensure that your vehicle can't be stolen even if a burglar has your keys or a device that can enhance the signal of your key fob.

But a ghost immobiliser doesn't only stop that however, it goes far beyond that. The system, which sits on the CAN bus of your Mercedes is programmed with a unique pin code push sequence that must be entered in order to start the vehicle. This is then locked on your application and nobody is able to access it until they have the exact pin you have.

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

Valet mode is a handy feature that is included with your ghost immobiliser. When it is activated the glove box as well as trunk of your car will be locked. This means that anyone who tries to steal your car won't have anything valuable to take. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla so that it can't be driven at speeds of more than 70mph and disables ludicrous mode. It will also lock your driver profiles and conceal your home and work addresses so that no one other person can access your personal data on your Tesla dashboard.

If you wish to use your car for valet parking, or for service, select the 'Valet/Service mode' on your dashboard app. Enter your 4-digit valet code on the touchscreen. The alarm won't work, however the car won't begin unless you enter an authentic pin.
