Why Ghost Immobiliser Isn't As Easy As You Imagine

Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

Modern thieves can steal a vehicle in less than a minute. They make use of the OBD port of the car to hack into the ECU and then duplicate keys and all with an unprotected laptop inside the vehicle.

An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser stops this by sending a series of pin codes through the buttons that are already in your vehicle (steering wheel & central console). It is totally undetectable to anyone inside your car.

There are no key fobs or LED indicators, or any other means of locating the vehicle are accessible.

If you're looking for a solution 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 preventing the engine from running after the valid pin code has been entered. This is an effective method to safeguard your vehicle. Insurance companies for cars recognize it as a security feature that can reduce the cost of a policy.

The ghost connects to the CAN data network of your vehicle. Once 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 by a loud siren and the engine won't start. The thief will then realize that they have been caught and will most likely leave the vehicle.

This system has the benefit of not transmitting any signals, like a tracker. Thieves can't utilize RF receivers to determine your Ghost unit's location. It does not emit any IR (infrared signals) as do typical remote control key fobs as well as trackers, making it difficult to bypass or hack.

The Ghost also has valet-mode which can be activated if you are giving your vehicle over to a valet for parking or service. This will disable the immobiliser on the CAN for 30mph and enables you to use the vehicle normally using your key fob or smartphone app. When the vehicle is set up, the ghost immobiliser review will regain full functioning.

No hacking, cloning, or altering

The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced immobilisers on the market. It shields your vehicle from key cloning and hacking and makes it virtually impossible to steal. The only way a thief could steal your vehicle is by physically towing it away. Even then, they wouldn't be capable of starting the engine.

This is due to the fact that, unlike other immobilisers that simply stop your vehicle from starting if you don't have a fob, the innovative system actually shuts off the engine control unit to stop the vehicle from being started. It works by sending a signal through buttons on your steering wheel and door panel, as well as your centre console that can only be disarmed by entering the correct pin code configuration, it is this feature that makes the Ghost so hard to crack.

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

This unique technology is not easily detected by thieves unlike other systems that rely on codes grabbing and RF scanning. It only transmits pin codes that are silently transmitted through the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheels doors, door panels or central console. The Ghost is a groundbreaking product that protects your vehicle from theft of keyless entry and smart key theft. It does this by generating a unique pin code, which needs to be entered to disarm the device.

The number of keyless entry vehicles that are on the road is growing. Thieves are becoming more sophisticated and are using cloning devices that can be purchased through classifieds or online for under PS15. The cloned key fob could be used to gain access to the vehicle. A standard vehicle immobiliser stops the engine from running when you have your original key fob. This does not offer enough security and makes it easy for criminals to steal or jam signals to unlock the vehicle.

Valet mode

An immobiliser that is standard on your vehicle has an electronic chip that transmits an alert when you press your key fob button. The system then searches for the specific code that was sent from the key to start the vehicle. If the correct signal isn't received, it will simply cut off and prevent the engine from getting started. This is the basic principle behind all immobilisers for cars that are aftermarket. It's a crucial 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.

However, a ghost immobiliser does not only stop that, it goes much further. The system, which is located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes is programmed with an unique PIN code that must be entered to start the vehicle. The sequence is then encrypted in your app, and only one else can access it without the same pin as you.

The system will also prevent cloning, hacking and signal jamming (which can be used by thieves to get around the immobiliser on your vehicle). This means that if someone does manage to get your car keys or your 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 transport it off on an oversized lorry that has a flatbed which is extremely unlikely.

Valet mode is an option with your ghost immobiliser. When it is turned on the glove box and trunk of your car will be locked. This means that anyone who tries to take your car away will not have anything valuable to take. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla so that it is unable to be driven at over 70mph and will disable ludicrous mode. It will also lock your driver profiles and conceal your home and work addresses so that no one else can access your private data on your Tesla dashboard.

If you would like to make use of your car for valet parking or for service reasons, simply choose the 'Valet/Service' option on your dashboard application and enter your 4-digit valet number on the touchscreen. The alarm will cease to work, but the car won't begin unless you enter a valid pin. This is a great option for those who need to give their vehicle to other people such as taxi drivers and garage mechanics.

Many people install a ghost immobiliser as they feel that the standard security measures aren't enough to protect their pride and joy.
