Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern day thieves can rob vehicles in just a minute. They make use of the car's OBD port to hack into the ECU and then duplicate a key, all using a laptop hidden in the car.
An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser blocks this by sending a series of pin codes via the existing buttons in your vehicle (steering wheel and central console). It is completely unnoticeable to anyone else in your vehicle.
There are no key fobs, LED indicators or other ways of locating the vehicle are in place.
If you're looking for a method to stop keyless entry theft or key cloning, then you should look no further than the ghost immobiliser. This device shields your vehicle from these types of attacks by preventing the engine from running after a valid pin code has been entered. This is a very efficient method of safeguarding your vehicle, and insurance companies see it as a precautionary measure that could help lower the cost of your policy.
The way in which 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 the exact sequence of buttons using your personalised override code. This means that any attempt to start the vehicle without entering this code will be greeted with a loud alarm, and the engine won't start. The criminal then realizes they are being caught and will likely abandon the vehicle.
One of the big advantages of this system is that it does not transmit any signals like trackers, which means that thieves are unable to use RF signal receivers to determine the location of your Ghost unit. ghost immobiliser installation does not emit any IR (infrared signals) like standard remote control key fobs or trackers, making it difficult to bypass or hack.
The Ghost also has valet-mode which can be activated when you are transferring your vehicle to valet to park or service. This will disable the immobiliser CAN for 30mph, and allow you to use the vehicle as normal with your key fob or phone app. The Ghost will be fully functional when the vehicle is parked again.

No cloning or hacking
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced models on the market. It safeguards your vehicle from hacking and key cloning which makes it almost impossible to steal. The only way thieves could take your vehicle is by physically towing it away, and even then they won't be capable of starting the engine.
This is because unlike other immobilisers that only stop your car from starting if they do not have your fob, this innovative system actually cuts off the engine control unit so that the vehicle is unable to be started. It does this by sending a signal through buttons on your steering wheel, door panel or centre console that can only be deactivated by entering the correct pin code configuration It is this feature that makes the Ghost so hard to crack.
Its discreet and sleek design allows it to fit in seamlessly into your vehicle, with no additional keys or LED indicators and it operates independently of your alarm system or tracker from factory. It's a CAN-bus immobiliser, which means it sits in your vehicle's control network and doesn't interfere with other devices, such as the key fob in your vehicle or alarm.
In contrast to other systems that rely on RF scanning or code grabbing, this unique technology is completely undetectable by thieves since it 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 a revolutionary product that safeguards your vehicle from theft of keyless entry and smart key theft. It does this by generating an unique pin code that must be entered in order to disarm the device.
With the increase in keyless entry cars that are on the road The thieves are becoming sophisticated and using cloning equipment that can be purchased online or through the classifieds for less than PS15. The cloned key fob can be used to gain access to the vehicle. A standard vehicle immobiliser only stops the engine from running if they have your original key fob. This does not provide enough protection and makes it easy for criminals to steal or jam signals to unlock the vehicle.
Valet mode
Standard immobilisers that are fitted to your car use an electronic chip to send a signal. The system will look for the code that was sent by the key to start the vehicle. If the proper signal cannot be received the system will cut off the power and stop the vehicle from starting. 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 thief has your keys or a device that can boost your key fob signal.
A ghost immobiliser does more than just stop this. The system, which sits on the CAN bus of your Mercedes, is programmed with a unique pin code that has to be entered to start the vehicle. 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 stop cloning, signal jamming and hacking (which thieves could use to get around the immobiliser on your vehicle). If a thief is able to get their hands on the keys to your car or fob, they will not be able to start your vehicle even if it's in a nearby parking lot. They may only be able to steal your car onto the flatbed truck and that's highly unlikely.
Valet mode comes as an option with your ghost immobiliser. When activated, the glove box and trunk of your car will be locked. This means that anyone trying to take your car away will not have anything personal to take. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla so that it is unable to be driven over 70mph and disables ludicrous mode. It will also conceal your work and home addresses and restrict your driver profiles and secure your Tesla dashboard so that no one else is able to access the private data.
If you would like to utilize your vehicle for valet parking or for service purposes, just select the 'Valet/Service' mode in the dashboard app and enter your 4-digit valet number on the touchscreen. The alarm will cease to be activated, but the car won't begin unless you enter an authentic pin. This is ideal for those who have to hand over their car to others like taxi drivers or garage mechanics.
The world's first aftermarket immobiliser for the CAN bus
The Autowatch Ghost provides unparalleled security and is the only aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser in the world. It protects you from key hacking or cloning, and even the theft of keys. This is accomplished by working alongside your vehicles current interface. It doesn't require additional fobs or remotes and instead works with the vehicle's data network CAN. This makes it a 'stealth' device.
The device is an in-built circuit board that connects to the engine management system in your car (ECU) and functions in a non-silent manner. Once activated it will prevent your vehicle from starting until specific PIN is entered. This is a unique number that you will be given when you book an installation. This number is required to activate valet, turn off the alarm, or let you 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 it does emit makes sounds when it is activated. It can be put in many different places, making it nearly impossible to identify. It is also low-maintenance and can be used with other systems such as a tracker (Brand dependent) to offer the most complete anti-theft system.
Many people choose to install a ghost immobiliser as they feel that the existing security measures aren't enough to safeguard their pride and joy. Physical deterrents like 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 appropriate tools. A ghost immobiliser, however, can't be bypassed by a thief since it is concealed inside the vehicle. Its activation activated would shut down components like the starter motor or fuel system.
