The Myths And Facts Behind Ghost Immobiliser

Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

Modern criminals can steal a car in less than a minute. They use the vehicle's OBD port to hack the ECU & then duplicate a new key, all from a laptop hidden in the car.

The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser prevents this by sending pin codes to the buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels and central console). It is completely invisible to anyone in your vehicle.

No key fobs or LED indicators, or any other means of locating the vehicle are available.

If you're looking for a solution to stop keyless entry theft or key cloning, then you should look at the ghost immobiliser. This device shields your vehicle from these kinds of attacks by preventing the engine from running after a correct pin code is entered. This is a very efficient method of safeguarding your vehicle, and car insurance companies recognise 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 begin when you press the specific sequence of buttons with your personal override code. 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 then realizes that they are being caught and will likely abandon the vehicle.

One of the major advantages of this system is that it does not transmit any signals as trackers, which means that thieves are unable to use RF signal receivers to locate your Ghost unit. It also does not transmit any IR (infrared) signals like the usual remote control key fobs or tracker do, making it very hard to bypass or hack.

The ghost immobiliser problems also comes with a valet-mode that can be activated when you are handing your vehicle to valet to park or service. The immobiliser will be disabled can for 30mph and permit you to use your vehicle just as normal by using your key fob. When the vehicle is parked up again, the Ghost will return to full function.

No cloning, hacking or Ghost Immobiliser modifying

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 take. The only way that a burglar could steal your vehicle is to physically tow it away. Even then, they would not be able to start the engine.

This is due to the fact that unlike other immobilisers that stop the vehicle from starting if they don't have your fob, this system actually shuts off your engine control unit so that the vehicle cannot start. The system transmits an alert via buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, or the centre console. It is only disarmed using the proper pin code configuration.

Its sleek and discreet design ensures that it will fit seamlessly into your vehicle with no additional keys or LED indications - it runs independently from your original alarm or tracker. It also functions as a bus immobiliser, which means it is part of the control area network of your vehicle and does not interfere with other devices, such as your vehicle's built in key fob or alarm.

Contrary to other systems that depend on RF scanning or code grabbing the Ghost's unique technology is completely undetectable by thieves as it only sends 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 shields your vehicle from keyless entry theft and smart key theft. It does this by generating an individual pin code which needs to be entered in order to disarm the device.

With the increase in keyless entry cars that are on the road, thieves are becoming increasingly sophisticated and utilizing cloning devices which can be purchased on the internet or in the classifieds for less than PS15. The cloned key fob can be used to gain access to the vehicle. A standard vehicle immobiliser prevents the engine from starting if they have your original key fob, this does not offer enough security and it is easy for criminals to alter or jam signals to gain access to the vehicle.

Valet mode

Standard immobilisers that are fitted to your vehicle use an electronic chip that sends a signal. The system will look for the code that was sent by the key to start the car. If the correct signal isn't received, it will simply cut off and prevent the engine from getting started. This is the basic principle behind all aftermarket immobilisers and is a vital security measure to ensure that your vehicle can't be stolen even if a burglar has your keys or a device that can boost your key fob signal.

Ghost immobilisers do more than simply stop this. The system, which is located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes is programmed with a unique PIN code that must be entered to begin the vehicle. This is then locked on your application and nobody can ever access it unless they have the exact pin that you have.

The system will also stop hacking, cloning, and signal jamming (which can be used by thieves 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 start your vehicle even if it's in a nearby parking lot. They may only be able to steal your car on flatbed trucks and that's highly unlikely.

Valet mode is an excellent feature that is included 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 trying to steal your car won't have anything personal to take. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla to ensure that it cannot be driven at over 70mph and will disable ludicrous mode. It will also block your driver profiles and hide your home / work addresses so that nobody else can access your personal data on your Tesla dashboard.

If you wish to use your car for valet parking, or service, choose 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 disabled, but it will still hinder the ability to start your car until a valid pin has been entered. This is a great option for those who need to give their car over to others for repair, such as taxi drivers or garage mechanics.

The first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser for the world

The Autowatch Ghost provides unparalleled security and is the only aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser available in the world. It protects your car from key cloning, hacking and even key theft. This is accomplished by working alongside your vehicles current interface. It doesn't require additional fobs or remotes but is integrated into the vehicle's CAN data network. This makes it a "stealth' device.

This is the unique number that you will receive when you make an appointment to install. This number is required to activate valet mode, deactivate the alarm or allow you to leave in your friends car (if they have a Ghost installed as well).

It is designed in a way that it cannot be detected by anyone who looks into your cars interior, does not transmit radio signals and can only be heard when it's activated. It can be installed in a variety of locations, making it nearly impossible to identify. It's also low-maintenance and can be used in combination with other anti-theft systems like trackers (Brand dependent) to offer a complete solution.

Many people opt to install a ghost immobiliser due to the fact that they feel standard security is not enough to stop their pride and joy from being taken. Physical deterrents like wheel clamps and locking mechanisms for steering wheels are excellent alternatives, but they are not considered "theft-proof" by thieves because they can be easily defeated with the right tools. Ghost immobilisers can't, however, be deceived by thieves since it is concealed inside the vehicle. Its activation activated, it would shut down parts like the starter motor or fuel system.
