What Is Ghost Immobiliser And Why Is Everyone Talking About It?

Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

Modern thieves can rob a car within a matter of minutes. They use the vehicle's OBD port to hack into the ECU & then duplicate a new key, all using a hidden laptop in the car.

The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser will prevent this by sending pin codes to buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels & central console). It is completely unnoticeable to anyone else in your car.

No key fobs or LED indications to give away its location

The ghost immobiliser is the most effective way to prevent keyless entry theft and key copying. This device is designed to protect your vehicle from these types of attacks, by preventing the engine after a valid pin code has been entered. This is a great method to safeguard your vehicle. Even car insurance companies consider it a security feature that can reduce the cost of insurance.

The way the ghost works 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 will not start when you attempt to start your vehicle without having the code. The criminal then realizes they are being caught and will likely abandon the vehicle.

The Ghost system has the advantage of not transmitting any signals like the tracker. Thieves cannot make use of RF receivers to pinpoint your Ghost device's location. It also doesn't transmit any IR (infrared) signals like the typical remote key fobs for control or tracker do, making it extremely difficult to deceive or hack.

The Ghost also has valet-mode which can be activated if you are giving your vehicle over to valet to park or service. This will disable the immobiliser on the CAN for 30mph and allows you to operate the vehicle in normal mode using your key fob or smartphone app. If the vehicle is parked up again the Ghost will be restored to full functionality.

No cloning or hacking

The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of most advanced available. It shields your vehicle from key cloning and hacking, making it nearly impossible to take. The only way a thief could steal your car is to physically tow it away & even then they wouldn't be capable of starting the engine.

This is because, unlike other immobilisers that only stop your car from starting if you do not have a fob, the innovative system actually shuts off the engine control unit in order to prevent the vehicle from starting. It does this by sending a signal through buttons on your steering wheel, door panel or centre console that can only be disarmed by entering the correct pin code configuration It is this feature that makes the Ghost impossible to break.

Its sleek and discreet design allows it to seamlessly into your car without the need for additional keys or LED indicators. It functions independently of your factory tracker or alarm. It is a CAN-bus immobiliser, which means that it is part of your vehicle's control network and does no interfere with existing devices like the key fob in your vehicle or alarm.

This unique technology isn't easily detected by thieves unlike other systems that employ codes grabbing and RF scanning. It simply sends a series of pin codes that are silently transmitted through the buttons on your car's steering wheel doors, door panels or central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary device that safeguards your vehicle from keyless entry theft and smart key theft. It does this by creating an individual pin code which must be entered in order to disarm the device.

The number of keyless entry vehicles that are on the road is growing. Thieves are becoming sophisticated and are using devices to clone your vehicle which can be bought through classifieds or online for less than PS15. They can then use the cloned fob to gain access to your vehicle. The standard immobiliser will stop the car from starting if the thief has the original key fob. This is not enough security and it's not difficult to get criminals to jam or spoof signals to unlock the car.

Valet mode

Standard immobilisers installed to your car use an electronic chip that sends signals. The system will search for the code sent by the key to begin the vehicle. If the correct signal isn't received, it will simply cut off and stop the engine from beginning. This is the basis of all immobilisers that are sold aftermarket. It is a vital measure to safeguard 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 doesn't just stop it however, it goes far beyond that. The system, which is on the CAN bus of your Mercedes is programmed with a unique pin code that needs to be entered to start the vehicle. It is then secured in your application, and no anyone else will be able to access it without the same unique pin as you.

The system will also prevent cloning, hacking and signal jamming (which could be used by thieves to bypass the immobiliser inside your car). This means that if a burglar manages to steal your car keys or key fob, they won't be capable of starting your car, even if they are parked within only a few feet of it. The only way to escape with your car is to physically take it away in the flatbed of a lorry, which is incredibly unlikely.

Valet mode is a standard feature with your ghost immobiliser. When activated the glove box as well as trunk of your vehicle will be locked. This means that anyone trying to steal your car will not have anything valuable to take. It also limits the speed of your Tesla to ensure that it is not able to be driven over 70mph. It will also turn off insane modes. 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 would like to make use of your car for valet parking or service purposes, just select the 'Valet/Service' feature in the dashboard app and then enter the 4-digit valet pin you have on the touchscreen. Once you have done this the alarm functions will be removed however it will hinder the ability to start your car unless a valid pin is entered. This is perfect for people who have to hand their car over to others like taxi drivers and garage mechanics.

The first aftermarket immobiliser for the CAN bus

The Autowatch Ghost is the world's first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser and provides security unmatched by any other product available today. It safeguards your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and even key theft. This is accomplished through the vehicle's current interface. It does not require additional fobs or remotes but integrates into the vehicle's CAN data network. This makes it a'silent' gadget.

The device is an invisible circuit board that connects to your car's engine management system (ECU) and works silently. Once activated, it'll prevent the car from starting until the PIN is entered. This is a unique code you will receive when you make an appointment for installation. This number is required to activate valet, turn off the alarm, or allow you to drive away in a car belonging to a friend (if they also have Ghost installed).

It is designed in a way that it can't be seen by anyone looking into your cars interior, it doesn't transmit radio signals and can only be heard when it's activated. It can be installed in a variety of different places, making it nearly impossible to spot. It is also low-maintenance and can be used together with other systems like a tracker (Brand dependent) to offer an all-inclusive anti-theft solution.

Many people install ghost immobilisers because they feel that the standard security measures aren't enough to protect their pride and joy. Physical deterrents like wheel clamps and steering wheel locks are excellent alternatives, but they are not considered "theft-proof" by thieves because they are easily beaten with the appropriate tools. Ghost immobilisers are not an easy target for thieves since it is built into the vehicle and, if activated, would disable the starter motor or fuel system.
