Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

Modern thieves can rob a car in under a minute. They make use of the car's OBD port to hack into the ECU and then duplicate a key, all from an unnoticed laptop inside the car.

An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser blocks this by sending a series of pin codes through buttons that are already in your vehicle (steering wheel & central console). It is completely invisible to anyone in your car.

There are no key fobs, LED indicators or other means of locating the vehicle are available.

If you're looking for a solution to stop keyless entry theft or key cloning then look at the ghost immobiliser. This device safeguards your vehicle from these types of attacks by blocking the engine after a valid pin code has been entered. This is a very efficient method of protecting your car, and insurance companies see it as a safety measure that can reduce the cost of your insurance.

The way the ghost works 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 exact sequence of buttons using 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 won't start. The criminal then realizes they've been taken prisoner and will likely leave the vehicle.

One of the main advantages of this system is that it doesn't transmit any signals, like trackers, which means that thieves cannot utilize RF signal receivers in order to locate your Ghost device. It does not emit any IR (infrared signals) like standard remote control key fobs or trackers, making it very difficult to bypass or hack.

Another benefit of the ghost is that it features the valet mode which can be activated when you give your vehicle to a valet service or parking. This will turn off the CAN immobiliser for 30mph, and allows you to operate the vehicle normally using your key fob or phone app. When the vehicle is parked up again, the Ghost will return to full function.

Valet mode

An immobiliser that is standard on your vehicle has an electronic chip that transmits an alert when you hit your key fob button, the system then searches for that specific code sent from the key to start the vehicle. If the proper signal cannot be received the system will cut off the power and stop the car from starting. This is the basis of all immobilisers that are sold aftermarket. It is a vital measure to safeguard your car from being stolen, even if someone has your keys or a device that could enhance the signal of your key fob.

The system, located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes, has been programmed with an unique PIN code that must be entered to start the car. It is then secured in your application, and no one else can access it without the same pin as you.

The system will also stop cloning, signal jamming and hacking (which thieves may employ to bypass the immobiliser on your vehicle). This means that if a thief manages to steal your car keys or key fob they won't be in a position to start your vehicle even if just the distance of a few feet. They could only get 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 steal your car will not have anything personal to steal. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla so that it is not able to be driven at speeds of more than 70mph.
