Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern thieves can rob a car in less than a minute. They make use of the OBD port of the car to hack into the ECU and then duplicate a key and all with a laptop hidden in the vehicle.
An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser stops this by sending a sequence of pin codes via the buttons that are already in your vehicle (steering wheel & central console). It is completely unnoticeable to anyone in your car.
No key fobs, LED indicators or other ways of locating the vehicle are available.
The ghost immobiliser is the best method to protect against keyless entry theft and key copying. This device is designed to guard your vehicle from these kinds of attacks, by blocking the engine once a correct pin code has been entered. This is an extremely effective method of safeguarding your car, and insurance companies recognize it as a safety measure that could help lower the cost of your insurance.
The way that the ghost operates is by connecting to your vehicle's CAN data network, once installed by us at Car Theft Solutions it will only start when you press the specific sequence of buttons with your personal override code. 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 then realizes that they've been caught and will most likely leave the vehicle.
This 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 does not send out any IR (infrared) signals like the standard remote key fobs for control or trackers do, which makes it difficult to deceive or hack.
The Ghost also comes with a valet-mode that can be activated if you are transferring your vehicle over to a valet for parking or service. This will turn off the immobiliser on the CAN for 30mph and allows you to operate the vehicle normally using your key fob or mobile app. The Ghost will be fully functional when the vehicle is parked again.

ghost immobiliser installers near me hacking, cloning, or modifying
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced models on the market. It safeguards your vehicle from hacking and key cloning and makes it virtually impossible to take. The only way thieves could steal your vehicle is to physically tow it away, and even then they wouldn't be capable of starting the engine.
This is due to the fact that unlike other immobilisers that only prevent the car from starting if you don't have your fob this innovative system actually cuts off the engine control unit so that the vehicle is unable to start. It does this by transmitting a signal via buttons on your steering wheel or door panel, or on your central console which can only be disabled by entering the proper pin code configuration, it is this feature that makes the Ghost difficult to break.
Its sleek and discreet design allows it to be seamlessly into your car without the need for additional keys or LED indicators. It operates independently of the factory tracker or alarm. It also functions as a CAN bus immobiliser, which means it sits within the control area network of your vehicle and doesn't interfere with other devices, such as your vehicle's key fob or alarm.
In contrast to other systems that rely on RF scanning or code grabbing this technology is undetectable to thieves because it only transmits an inaudible sequence of pin codes via the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheel doors, door panels, or the central console. The Ghost is an innovative device that protects your vehicle against keyless entry and smart key theft. It does this by creating an individual, personalized pin code that needs to be entered to deactivate it.
The number of vehicles with keyless entry on the road is increasing. Thieves are getting more sophisticated and are using devices to clone your vehicle which can be bought on the internet or in classifieds less than PS15. The key fob that is cloned can be used to gain access to the vehicle. The standard immobiliser will only stop the vehicle from starting if the criminal has your original key fob. This isn't enough security, and it's easy to get criminals to jam or spoof signals to unlock the car.
Valet mode
A standard immobiliser fitted to your vehicle is an electronic chip that sends the signal when you press your key fob button, the system will then search for the specific code that was sent from the key to start the vehicle. If the proper signal isn't received, the system will cut off and stop the engine from starting. This is the principle behind all immobilisers that are sold aftermarket. It's an essential measure to prevent your car from being stolen, even if a person has your keys or a device that could enhance the signal of your key fob.
But a ghost immobiliser doesn't only stop it from happening, it goes much further. The system, which sits on the CAN bus of your Mercedes is programmed with a unique PIN push sequence that must be entered in order to start the vehicle. The app is then locked your application and nobody is able to access it until they have the exact pin you have.
The system will also stop hacking, cloning and signal jamming (which can be used by thieves to circumvent the immobiliser on your vehicle). This means that if a thief does manage to get your car keys or key fob they won't be in a position to start your vehicle even if they're just a few feet of it. They could only get your car onto the flatbed truck and that's highly unlikely.
Valet mode is an option with your ghost immobiliser. When it is activated the glove box and trunk will be locked, so that thieves won't have any personal belongings to take with them. It also limits the speed of your Tesla so that it is not able to be driven over 70mph. It also will disable insane modes. It will also hide your work and home addresses and restrict your driver profiles and lock your Tesla dashboard to ensure that no one else can access the private data.
If you would like to use your vehicle for valet parking, or service, select the 'Valet/Service' option on the dashboard app. Enter your 4-digit valet code onto the touchscreen. After this is done, the alarm functions will be disabled however, it will prevent you from starting your vehicle without a valid pin entered. This is a great option for those who have to hand their vehicle to other people like garage mechanics and taxi drivers.
The first aftermarket immobiliser for the CAN bus
The Autowatch Ghost provides unbeatable security and is the only aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser available in the world. It shields your car from key cloning, hacking, and even key theft. This is accomplished by working with your vehicle's current interface. It doesn't require additional fobs or remotes and instead works with the vehicle's data network CAN. This makes it a'silent gadget.
The device is an invisible circuit board that connects to the engine management system of your car (ECU) and works silently. Once activated, it will stop your vehicle from starting until a specific PIN is entered. This is a unique number you will receive when you make an appointment for installation. This number is required to activate valet, disable the alarm, or allow you to drive away in a vehicle belonging to a family member (if they also have Ghost installed).
It is designed to blend in from the inside of your car. It doesn't emit radio signals, but only sounds when it is activated. It can be placed in a variety of locations which makes it virtually impossible to spot. It is also a low-maintenance gadget and can be fitted with other systems like a tracker (Brand dependant) to provide an all-inclusive anti-theft solution.
Many people opt to install a ghost immobiliser because they believe that the standard security isn't enough to stop their pride and joy from being stolen. While physical deterrents like wheel locks for steering wheels and wheel clamps are a good option, they're not actually considered "theft proof" by thieves as they can be defeated quite easily with the appropriate tools. A ghost immobiliser is, however, unable to be deceived by thieves since it is concealed within the vehicle and if activated, it would shut down parts like the starter motor or fuel system.
Ghost immobilisers are installed for only PS450 which is less than the cost of other products. It also prevents your car being stolen.
