Why Ghost Immobiliser Is So Helpful When COVID-19 Is In Session

Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

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

An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser blocks this by sending a sequence of pin codes via the existing buttons in your vehicle (steering wheel & central console). It is completely undetectable to anyone in your car.

There are no key fobs or LED indicators to reveal its location

The ghost immobiliser is a great method to stop keyless entry theft and key cloning. This device shields your vehicle from these types of attacks by preventing the engine from running after the valid pin code has been entered. This is a great way to protect your car. Insurance companies consider it a security feature that can reduce the cost of ghost immobiliser of a policy.

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 specific sequence of buttons with your unique override code. The engine will not begin in the event that you attempt to start your vehicle without the code. The criminal will realize that they have been caught and will likely to leave the vehicle and flee.

One of the big advantages of this system is that it doesn't transmit any signals like a tracker, this means that thieves are unable to utilize RF signal receivers in order to pinpoint the location of your auto ghost immobiliser device. It does not emit any IR (infrared signals) like typical remote control key fobs or trackers, making it hard to bypass or hack.

Another benefit of the ghost is that it comes with an option for valet parking that can be activated when you surrender your vehicle to a valet service or parking. This will turn off the immobiliser CAN for 30mph and allow you to use your vehicle just as normal by with your key fob. The Ghost will be fully functional when the vehicle is parked again.

No cloning, hacking or altering

The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced models available. It protects your vehicle from hacking and key cloning which makes it almost impossible to take. The only way thieves could take your vehicle is to physically tow it away & even then they won't be in a position to start the engine.

This is because unlike other immobilisers that only stop the car from starting if they don't have your fob, this innovative system actually cuts off the engine control unit so that the vehicle is unable to start. It works by sending a signal to buttons on your steering wheel and door panel, as well as your centre console which can only be disabled by entering the correct pin code configuration It is this feature that makes the Ghost impossible to break.

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

This unique technology isn't detectable by thieves unlike other systems that rely on codes grabbing and RF scanning. It simply sends a series of pin codes in a silent manner through the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheel or door panels, or central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary product that protects your vehicle from theft of keyless entry and smart key theft. It does this by generating an individual pin code that must be entered to disable the device.

The number of vehicles that have no keyless entry in circulation is increasing. Thieves are getting more sophisticated and employ devices to clone your vehicle that can be purchased through classifieds or online for less than PS15. The cloned key fob can be used to gain access to the vehicle. A standard vehicle immobiliser stops the engine from running if they have your original key fob. This is not enough security and it is easy for criminals to alter or jam signals to unlock the vehicle.

Valet mode

Standard immobilisers installed to your vehicle employ an electronic chip that sends an indication. The system will search for the code sent by the key to begin the vehicle. If the signal isn't received, it will simply cut off and prevent the engine from beginning. This is the principle behind all immobilisers that are sold on the market and is a crucial security measure to ensure that your vehicle can't be stolen even if someone else has your keys or a device to increase the signal from your key fob.

However, a ghost immobiliser does not just stop it but it also goes a step further. The system, located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes has been programmed with an unique PIN code that must be entered in order to start the car. This is then locked on your application and nobody can ever access it unless they have the same unique pin that you have.

The system will also stop signal jamming, cloning and hacking (which thieves can use to bypass the immobiliser on your vehicle). If a thief is able to get their hands on the keys to your car or fob, they won't be able to start your vehicle even if it's parked nearby. The only way they could escape with your car is to physically transport it away in a flatbed lorry, which is incredibly unlikely.

Valet mode comes as an option that comes with your ghost immobiliser. When activated the glove box and trunk of your vehicle 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 to ensure that it cannot be driven over 70mph and will disable ludicrous mode. It will also block your driver profiles and hide your home or work addresses to ensure that no one else has access to the private information on your Tesla dashboard.

If you wish to use your vehicle for valet parking, or for service, select the 'Valet/Service' option in the dashboard app. Enter your 4-digit valet code on the touchscreen. The alarm won't be activated, but the car will not start unless you enter an authentic pin. This is a great option for those who have to hand over their car to others like taxi drivers or garage mechanics.

The first-ever aftermarket immobiliser for CAN buses

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser. It offers security that is unparalleled by anything on the market today. It safeguards you from key cloning or hacking, and even the theft of keys. This is achieved by integrating into your vehicle's current interface. It doesn't require additional fobs or remotes but is integrated into the vehicle's CAN data network. This makes it a'silent' gadget.

The device is an in-built circuit board that connects to your car's engine management system (ECU) and functions in a non-silent manner. When activated, it will prevent the car from starting unless the PIN is entered. This is a unique code that you will receive when you book an installation. This number will be required to enable valet mode, deactivate the alarm, or permit you to leave in the car of a friend (if they have a Ghost installed too).

It is designed in a way that it is not spotted by anyone who is looking at your car's interior. it doesn't transmit radio signals, and will only be heard when it's being activated. It can be installed in a variety of locations and is nearly impossible to identify. It is also a low-maintenance gadget and can be used together with other systems like a tracker (Brand dependant) to offer the most complete anti-theft system.

Many people opt to install a ghost immobiliser because they believe that standard security is not enough to prevent their joy and pride from being taken. Whilst physical deterrents like steering wheel locks and wheel clamps are a good alternative, they aren't necessarily considered "theft proof" by thieves because they can be defeated quite easily with the appropriate tools. Ghost immobilisers are not accessible to thieves since it is integrated into the vehicle and, if activated, would shut down the starter motor or fuel system.

The best part is that ghost immobilisers can be installed as low as PS450, which is a fraction of the cost of other products available on the market.
