Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern criminals can steal a car within a matter of minutes. They use the vehicle's OBD port to hack into the ECU & then duplicate a key, all via a hidden laptop in the car.
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser prevents this by sending pin codes to buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels and central console). It is completely invisible to anyone in your car.
No key fobs or LED indicators or other methods of locating the vehicle are accessible.
If you're looking for a way to stop keyless entry theft or key cloning then look at the ghost immobiliser . This device is designed to safeguard your vehicle from these types of attacks by blocking the engine once a correct pin code is entered. This is an extremely efficient method of protecting your vehicle, and insurance companies see it as a precautionary measure that can help reduce the cost of your policy.
The way that the ghost operates is by connecting to your vehicles CAN data network, once installed by us at Car Theft Solutions it will only start when you enter the specific sequence of buttons with 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 will not start. The thief then realizes that they have been caught and will likely abandon 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 does not emit any IR (infrared signals) like typical remote control key fobs as well as trackers, making it very difficult to hack or bypass.

This will turn off the immobiliser can for 30mph and permit you to use your vehicle in normal fashion with your key fob. When 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 to steal your car is physically tow it away. Even then, they wouldn't be able start the engine.
This is due to the fact that unlike other immobilisers that simply stop your vehicle from starting if you do not have a fob, the Ghost's clever system actually shuts off the engine control unit to prevent the vehicle from being started. It works by sending a signal to buttons on your steering wheel, door panel or centre console which can only be disabled by entering the proper pin code configuration It is this feature that makes the Ghost so hard to crack.
Its sleek and discrete design ensures that it will fit into your vehicle seamlessly with no additional keys or LEDs and it operates independently of your original alarm or tracker. It is also a CAN bus immobiliser, which means it is part of your vehicle's control area network and doesn't interfere with other devices, such as the built-in key fob or alarm.
This unique technology isn't detectable by thieves unlike other systems that rely on codes and RF scanning. It only sends pin codes in a silent manner through the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheel or door panels, or central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary device that safeguards your vehicle from theft of keys that are keyless and smart key theft. It does this by creating an unique pin code which needs to be entered to disarm the device.
With the increasing number of keyless entry cars on the road the thieves are becoming more sophisticated and utilizing cloning devices that can be bought online or through the classifieds for less than PS15. They can then use this fob that was cloned to gain entry to your vehicle. The standard immobiliser will stop the vehicle from starting if the thief has the original key fob. This is not enough protection and it's not difficult for criminals to jam or fake signals to unlock the car.
Valet mode
Standard immobilisers that are fitted to your car use an electronic chip to send a signal. The system will search for the code sent by the key to start the car. If the proper signal cannot be detected the system will shut off the power and stop the car from beginning. This is the basic principle behind all aftermarket immobilisers and is a crucial security measure to ensure that your car can't be stolen even if a burglar has your keys or a device that could enhance the signal of your key fob.
Ghost immobilisers do more than stop this. The system, which is located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes has been programmed with an unique PIN code that has to be entered to begin the vehicle. It is then secured in your application, and no one else can access it without the same pin that you have.
The system will also prevent hacking, cloning and signal jamming (which can be used by thieves to bypass the immobiliser in your vehicle). If a thief is able to get their hands on your car keys or key fob, they will not be able to start your car even if it is in a nearby parking lot. They might only steal your car onto a flatbed truck and that's highly 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 car will be locked. This means that anyone attempting to steal your car won't have anything personal to steal. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla to ensure that it is not able to be driven at speeds of more than 70mph. It will also turn off insane modes. It will also block your driver profiles and hide your home / work addresses so that nobody else can access your private data on your Tesla dashboard.
If you wish to use your car for valet parking, or for service, choose the 'Valet/Service' option on your dashboard app. Enter your 4-digit valet code on the touchscreen. The alarm will no longer work, however the car won't begin until you have entered a valid pin. This is ideal for those who need to transfer their car to others like taxi drivers or garage mechanics.
