Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern day thieves can rob vehicles in less than a minute. They use the vehicle's OBD port to hack the ECU & then duplicate a key, all via a laptop hidden in the car.
An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser blocks this by sending a series of pin codes via the buttons that are already in your vehicle (steering wheel & central console). It is completely invisible to anyone in your vehicle.
There are no key fobs or LED indicators to reveal its location
If you're looking for a solution to stop keyless entry theft or key cloning then look no further than the ghost immobiliser. This device shields your vehicle from these types of attacks by blocking the engine after a proper pin code is entered. This is an effective way to protect your car. Even car insurance companies consider it a security feature that can lower the cost of insurance.
The ghost connects to the CAN data network in your vehicle. Once installed by Car Theft Solutions, it will only work when you enter your personal override code and a specific button combination. This means that any attempt to start the vehicle without entering this code will be met with a loud alarm, and the engine will not start. The thief will then realise that they've been caught and are likely to leave the vehicle and flee.
This system has the benefit of not transmitting any signals, like a tracker. Thieves can't use RF receivers to pinpoint your Ghost device's location. It does not emit any IR (infrared signals) like standard remote control key fobs or trackers, making it very difficult to bypass or hack.
The Ghost also has the valet-mode, which can be activated if you are handing your vehicle over to a valet for parking or service. This will turn off the immobiliser CAN for 30mph and allow you to use your vehicle in normal fashion with your key fob. When the vehicle is set up, the Ghost will be restored to full functioning.

No cloning, hacking or modifying
The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers on the market. It shields your vehicle from key cloning and hacking making it virtually impossible to steal. The only way to steal your car is physically remove it. Even then, they wouldn't be able start the engine.
This is because, unlike other immobilisers which only stop the vehicle from starting if they don't have your fob this system actually shuts off the engine control unit so that the vehicle is unable to be started. The system communicates messages through buttons on the steering wheel, door panel or centre console. It can only be disarmed using the correct pin code configuration.
Its sleek and subtle design allows it to seamlessly into your car without the necessity of additional keys or LED indicators. It functions independently of the factory tracker or alarm. It is also a CAN bus immobiliser meaning that it sits within the control area network of your vehicle and doesn't interfere with any other devices such as the built-in key fob or alarm.
Contrary to other systems that rely on codes grabbing or RF scanning this technology is indestructible to thieves as it only sends a silent sequence of pin codes via the buttons that are already present on your vehicle's steering wheel and door panels as well as the central console. The Ghost is an innovative device that protects your vehicle from keyless entry and smart key theft by generating a unique, personalised pin code that needs to be entered to deactivate it.
The number of vehicles that have no keyless entry on the road is increasing. Thieves are becoming more sophisticated and are using cloning devices which can be bought through classifieds or online for under PS15. They can then use the fob that was cloned to gain entry to your vehicle. A standard immobiliser for vehicles only prevents the engine from starting only if you have the original key fob, this does not offer enough security and it is easy for criminals to alter 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 hit your key fob button, the system then searches for that specific code sent from the key to start the car. If the proper signal cannot be detected, the system will cut off the power and stop the car from starting. This is the principle behind all immobilisers that are sold aftermarket. It's an essential measure to prevent your car from being taken away, even if someone has your keys or an accessory that can boost the signal of your key fob.
But a ghost immobiliser doesn't just stop it but it also goes a step further. The system, which is on the CAN bus of your Mercedes, is programmed with a unique PIN push sequence that must be entered to start the vehicle. Ghost 2 immobiliser This is then locked in your application, and no other person can access it without the same unique pin as you.
The system will also prevent hacking, cloning and signal jamming (which could be used by thieves to circumvent the immobiliser on your vehicle). This means that if a burglar does somehow get hold of your car keys or your key fob, they won't be in a position to start your vehicle even if they're parked within only a few feet of it. The only way to get your car away is to physically take it off on an oversized lorry that has a flatbed which is highly unlikely.
Valet mode comes as a standard feature with your ghost immobiliser. When it is activated the glove box as well as trunk of your vehicle will be locked. This means that anyone who tries to take your car away will not have anything personal to take. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla to ensure that it is not able to be driven over 70mph. It will also disable absurd modes. It will also hide your home and work addresses as well as make your driver profiles secure, and lock your Tesla dashboard to ensure that no one else is able to access your private data.
If you want to use your vehicle for valet parking or for service purposes, just select the 'Valet/Service' feature on your dashboard app and then enter your 4-digit valet pin on the touchscreen. After this is done, the alarm functions will be bypassed, but it will still prevent you from starting your car until a valid pin has been entered. This is ideal for people who have to hand over their vehicle to others, such as 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 shields your car from key cloning, hacking, and even key theft. This is achieved through a partnership with your vehicle's current interface. It doesn't require any additional fobs or remotes, but instead integrates with the vehicle's data network CAN. This makes it a stealth gadget.
The device is a circuit board that is hidden in the engine control unit (ECU). It works quietly. Once activated, it'll prevent the car from starting until the PIN is entered. This is a unique code that you will be given when you book an installation. This number is required to enable valet, deactivate the alarm, or allow you 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 inside your car's interior. It does not transmit radio signals and can only be heard when it's activated. It can be fitted in a variety places, making it virtually impossible to spot. It's also low-maintenance, and can be used in conjunction with other anti-theft systems like trackers (Brand dependent) to offer the complete solution.
Many people opt for an immobiliser ghost because they believe that the standard security measures are not sufficient to safeguard their pride and joy. Physical deterrents such as wheel clamps and steering wheel locks are excellent alternatives, but they're not considered "theft-proof" by thieves because they can be easily defeated with the appropriate tools. A ghost immobiliser is not bypassable by thieves as it is built into the vehicle and, if activated would stop the starter motor or fuel system.
The most appealing aspect is that a ghost immobiliser can be installed for as low as PS450, which is less than the cost of other products available there - and it actually does stop your car from being taken away!
