Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern day thieves can steal vehicles within 1 minute. They use the OBD port of the vehicle to hack into the ECU and then duplicate a key and all with a laptop that is hidden inside the vehicle.
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser prevents this by sending pin codes to the buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels & central console). It is completely undetectable by anyone in your car.
There are no key fobs or LED indications to give away its location
The ghost immobiliser is the most effective 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 after a proper pin code is entered. This is an extremely efficient method of safeguarding your vehicle, and insurance companies recognize it as a security measure that could help lower the cost of your insurance.
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 press the exact sequence of buttons using your personalised override code. The engine won't start in the event that you attempt to start your vehicle without having the code. The criminal then realizes they've been caught and will most likely leave the vehicle.
One of the big advantages of this system is that it doesn't transmit any signals as a tracker, this means that thieves cannot utilize RF signal receivers in order to pinpoint the location of your Ghost device. It does not emit any IR (infrared signals) as do typical remote control key fobs or trackers, making it hard to bypass or hack.
The Ghost also has valet-mode which is activated if you are handing your vehicle to a valet for parking or service. This will turn off the immobiliser on the 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 to steal your car is physically remove it. Even then, they would not be able to start the engine.
This is because, unlike other immobilisers that stop your car from starting if they don't have your fob, this system actually shuts off the engine control unit, ensuring that the vehicle cannot be started. The system transmits messages through buttons on the steering wheel, door panel or centre console. It can only be removed with the correct pin code configuration.
Its sleek and discrete design allows it to fit in seamlessly into your vehicle, without any additional keys or LEDs - it runs independently from your alarm system or tracker from factory. It is also a CAN bus immobiliser, which means it sits within the control area network of your vehicle and does not interfere with any existing devices like the built-in key fob or alarm.
Contrary to other systems that rely on code grabbing or RF scanning the Ghost's unique technology is undetectable to thieves because it only transmits an inaudible 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 against keyless entry and smart key theft by producing an individual, unique pin code that needs to be entered to disarm it.
The number of vehicles that ghost immobiliser near me have no keyless entry in circulation is increasing. Thieves are getting more sophisticated and use cloning devices that can be purchased on the internet or in classifieds 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 offer enough security and makes it easy for criminals to steal or jam signals to gain access to the vehicle.
Valet mode
Standard immobilisers that are fitted to your vehicle employ an electronic chip to send signals. The system will search for the code sent by the key to start the vehicle. If the correct signal cannot be detected the system will cut off the power and prevent the car from beginning. This is the basis of all aftermarket car immobilisers. It's a crucial measure to safeguard your car from being stolen, even if someone has your keys or an accessory that can boost the signal of your key fob.
However, a ghost immobiliser doesn't only stop it from happening, it goes much further. The system, which is located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes is programmed with a unique pin code that needs to be entered to start the car. This is then locked in your application, and no one else can access it without the same unique pin that you have.
The system will also stop cloning, signal jamming and hacking (which thieves can use to get around the immobiliser in your car). This means that if a burglar manages to steal your car keys or your key fob, they won't be able to start your car even if parked within only a few feet of it. The only way for them to escape with your car is to physically take it away in a flatbed lorry which is extremely unlikely.
Valet mode is a useful feature that is included with your ghost immobiliser. When activated, the glove box and trunk will be locked, so that thieves won't have any personal belongings to take. It also limits the speed of your Tesla so that it can't be driven at over 70mph, and it will also disable the ridiculous mode. It will also conceal your work and home addresses as well as restrict your driver profiles and lock your Tesla dashboard so that no one else is able to access your private data.
If you wish to use your car as valet parking, or for service, select the 'Valet/Service mode' in the dashboard app. Enter your 4-digit valet code on the touchscreen. The alarm will no longer work, but the car will not start until you have entered a valid pin. This is ideal for those who have to hand over their vehicle to others, like taxi drivers or garage mechanics.
The first-ever aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser
The Autowatch Ghost provides unparalleled security and is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser in the world. It protects your car from key cloning, hacking and even key theft. This is accomplished through a partnership with your vehicle's current interface. It does not require additional remotes or fobs, but instead integrates with the vehicle's data network, CAN. This makes it a 'stealth' device.
The device is a circuit board 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 specific number you will receive when you book an 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 in a way that it is not spotted by anyone who is looking into your cars interior, does not transmit radio signals, and is only heard when it's being activated. It can be fitted in a variety of places, making it nearly impossible to detect. It is also low-maintenance and can be fitted together with other systems such as a tracker (Brand dependant) to provide the most complete anti-theft system.
Many people opt to put in an immobiliser that ghosts due to the fact that they feel standard security isn't enough to stop their joy and pride from being stolen. While physical deterrents like wheel locks for steering wheels and wheel clamps are an excellent option, they're not actually considered "theft proof" by thieves since they can be beaten easily using the appropriate tools. A ghost immobiliser is, however, unable to be deceived by thieves because it is hidden inside the vehicle. Its activation activated, it will shut down the components like the starter motor or fuel system.
The best part is that ghost immobilisers can be installed as low as PS450 which is a tiny fraction of the cost of other products out there - and it actually does prevent your car from being taken away!
