Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern day thieves can rob vehicles in less than a minute. They make use of the OBD port of the car to hack into the ECU and then duplicate keys, all using a laptop hidden in the vehicle.
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 invisible to anyone else in your car.
No key fobs, or LED indicators to reveal the location of the vehicle.
The ghost immobiliser is the best method to stop keyless entry theft and key copying. This device shields your vehicle from these types of attacks by blocking the engine when the correct pin code is entered. This is a great method to safeguard your vehicle. Even car insurance companies recognize it as a safety feature that can lower the cost of a 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 start when you enter a specific button sequence using your unique override code. This means that any attempt to start the vehicle without entering this code will be met with a loud siren, and the engine won't start. The criminal then realizes they've been taken prisoner and will likely leave the vehicle.
One of the major advantages of this system is that it does not transmit any signals as the tracker, which means that thieves cannot use RF signal receivers to locate your Ghost unit. It also doesn't transmit any IR (infrared) signals, like the typical remote key fobs to control the device or trackers do, making it difficult to deceive or hack.
The Ghost also comes with valet-mode which is activated if you are handing your vehicle over to valet to park or service. This will turn off the immobiliser can for 30mph and permit you to drive just as normal by with your key fob. The Ghost will function fully when the vehicle is back in its parking spot.

No hacking, cloning or altering
The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers available on the market. It shields your car from hacking or key cloning, making it virtually impossible to steal. The only method to steal your car is physically tow it away. Even then, they won't be able start the engine.
This is because, unlike other immobilisers that only stop your vehicle from starting if they do not have your fob, this innovative system actually cuts off the engine control unit so that the vehicle cannot be started. The system transmits a message through buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, or the centre console. It can only be disarmed using the proper pin code configuration.
Its sleek and discrete design allows it to fit seamlessly into your car without the necessity of additional keys or LED indicators. It functions independently of your factory alarm or tracker. It also functions as a bus immobiliser meaning that it sits within your vehicle's control area network and does not interfere with any existing devices like your vehicle's key fob or alarm.
Contrary to other systems that rely on code grabbing or RF scanning this technology is completely undetectable by thieves because it only transmits an unobtrusive sequence of pin codes via the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheel, door panels or central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary device that protects your vehicle against keyless entry and smart key theft by producing a unique, personalised pin code that needs to be entered in order to disable it.
With the growing number of keyless entry cars on the road the thieves are becoming more sophisticated and utilizing cloning devices which can be purchased on the internet or in the classifieds for less than PS15. The cloned key fob could be used to gain access to the
vehicle. A standard immobiliser for vehicles only stops the engine from starting when you have your original key fob. This does not provide enough protection and is easy for criminals to spoof or block signals to unlock the vehicle.
Valet mode
Standard immobilisers that are fitted to your vehicle use an electronic chip that sends an indication. The system will then look for the code that was sent by the key to start the vehicle. If the signal isn't detected, it will simply cut off and prevent the engine from beginning. This is the principle behind all aftermarket immobilisers and is a crucial security measure to ensure that your car isn't stolen even if a burglar has your keys or a device to enhance the signal of your key fob.
Ghost immobilisers do more than stop this. The system, which is on the CAN bus of your Mercedes, is programmed with a unique PIN code that has to be entered in order to start the vehicle. It is then secured on your app, and no one will ever be able to access it unless they have the same pin you have.
The system will also stop signal jamming, cloning and hacking (which thieves may use to get around the immobiliser on your vehicle). If a criminal manages to get their hands on the keys to your car or fob, they will not be able to start your vehicle even if it is in a nearby parking lot. They may only be able to steal your car on a flatbed truck which is extremely unlikely.
Valet mode comes as an option with your ghost immobiliser. When it is turned on the glove box and trunk of your vehicle will be locked. This means that anyone attempting to steal your car will not have anything valuable to take. It also limits the speed of your Tesla to ensure it can't be driven over 70mph. It will also turn off insane modes. It will also hide your home and work addresses, lock your driver profiles, and lock your Tesla dashboard so that no one else can access the private data.
If you wish to use your vehicle for valet parking, or for service, select the 'Valet/Service mode' on your dashboard app. Enter the 4-digit valet number on the touchscreen. After this is done, the alarm functions will be bypassed however, it will block the ability to start your vehicle without a valid pin entered. This is perfect for people who need to give their vehicle to other people for repair, such as garage mechanics and taxi drivers.

Many people opt to install an immobiliser that ghosts due to the fact that they feel the standard security isn't enough to stop their pride and joy from being stolen. Physical deterrents such as wheel clamps and steering wheel locks are great options, but they are not considered "theft-proof" by thieves since they can be easily defeated with the right tools. A ghost immobiliser is, however, unable to be deceived by thieves since it is concealed inside the vehicle. If activated, it would shut down parts like the starter motor or fuel system.
