How To Know If You're Prepared To Go After Ghost Immobiliser

Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

Modern thieves can steal a vehicle within a matter of minutes. They make use of the car's 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 prevents this by sending a series of pin codes through the buttons on your vehicle (steering wheel & central console). It is completely undetectable by anyone in your car.

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

If you're looking for a method to stop keyless entry theft or key cloning then look no further than the ghost immobiliser. This device is designed to guard your vehicle from these kinds of attacks, by blocking the engine once a correct pin code is entered. This is an extremely efficient method of protecting your car, and even insurance companies recognize it as a safety measure that can reduce the cost of your policy.

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 specific sequence of buttons with your personalised override code. This means that any attempt to start the vehicle without entering this code will be greeted with 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.

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 unit's location. It does not emit any IR (infrared signals) as do typical remote control key fobs or trackers, making it hard to hack or bypass.

Another advantage of the ghost is that it has a valet mode that can be activated when you surrender your vehicle to valet parking or for servicing. This disables the immobiliser CAN for 30mph, and allow you to use the vehicle as normal with your key fob or phone app. When the vehicle is parked up again the Ghost will return to full functioning.

No hacking or cloning

The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced immobilisers available. It shields your vehicle from key cloning and hacking and makes it virtually impossible to steal. The only way to steal your car is to physically tow it away. Even then, they won't be able start the engine.

This is due to the fact that unlike other immobilisers which only prevent the vehicle from starting if they don't have your fob, this system actually shuts off the engine control unit so that the vehicle can't be started. This system works by sending messages through buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, or centre console. It can only be disarmed with the proper pin code configuration.

Its sleek and discrete design allows it to seamlessly into your car without the necessity of additional keys or LED indicators. It operates independently of your factory tracker or alarm. It's a CAN bus immobiliser, which means it is part of the vehicle's control network and does no interfere with existing devices such as your vehicle's key fob or alarm.

This unique technology isn't easily detected by thieves, unlike other systems that use RF scanning and code grabbing. It only 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 an innovative device that protects your vehicle against keyless entry and smart key theft by generating an individual, personalized pin code that needs to be entered in order to disable it.

The number of vehicles that have no keyless entry that are on the road is growing. Thieves are getting more sophisticated and employ devices for cloning which can be bought online or in classifieds for less than PS15. They can then use this fob that was cloned to gain entry to your vehicle. The standard immobiliser can only stop the car from starting if the person who stole it has the original key fob. This is not enough security and it's very easy for criminals to jam or fake signals to unlock the vehicle.

Valet mode

A standard immobiliser fitted to your vehicle is an electronic chip that transmits an alert when you press your key fob button, the system then searches for the particular code you have that is sent by the key to start the car. If the signal isn't received, the system will simply cut off and prevent the engine from getting started. This is the principle behind all aftermarket immobilisers and is a vital security measure to ensure that your vehicle can't be stolen even if a thief has your keys or a device that can boost your key fob signal.

However, a ghost immobiliser doesn't only stop that but it also goes a step further. The system, located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes is programmed with a unique PIN code that has to be entered in order to start the car. This is then locked in your app, and no one else can access it without having the same pin that you have.

The system will also prevent cloning, hacking and signal jamming (which can be used by thieves to circumvent the immobiliser on your vehicle). If a burglar manages to get their hands on your car keys or key fob, they won't be able to start your car even if it's located nearby. The only way to get your car away is to physically take it away in the flatbed of a lorry, which is incredibly unlikely.

Valet mode is a handy feature that is included with your ghost immobiliser. When it is turned on the glove box and trunk of your vehicle will be locked. This means that anyone who tries to steal your car will not have anything valuable to take. It also limits the speed of your Tesla so that it is not able to be driven more than 70mph. It also will disable insane modes. It will also conceal your home and work addresses, lock your driver profiles, and secure your Tesla dashboard to ensure that no one else is able to access your private information.

If you want to use your car as valet parking, or service, select the 'Valet/Service mode' on your dashboard app. Enter your 4-digit valet code on the touchscreen. The alarm won't be activated, but the car won't begin until you have entered a valid pin. This is ideal for people who need to give their vehicle to other people such as taxi drivers and garage mechanics.
