Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern criminals can steal a car in less than a minute. They make use of the car’s OBD port to hack into the ECU and then duplicate a new key, all from a hidden laptop in the car.
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser can prevent this by sending pin codes to the buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels and central console). It is completely unnoticeable to anyone inside your vehicle.
There are no key fobs or LED indicators, or any other ways of locating the vehicle are available.
If you’re looking for a way to stop keyless entry theft or key cloning then look at the ghost immobiliser. This device protects your vehicle from these kinds of attacks by blocking the engine when the correct pin code is entered. This is a great way to protect your car. Insurance companies recognize it as a security feature that can reduce the cost of insurance.
The way the ghost works is by 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 unique override code. The engine won’t start when you attempt to start your vehicle without using the code. The criminal then realizes they’ve been caught and will most likely leave the vehicle.
This system has the advantage of not transmitting any signals, like the tracker. Thieves can’t use RF receivers to pinpoint your ghost immobiliser birmingham unit’s location. It also does not emit any IR (infrared) signals like the standard remote key fobs for control or trackers do, making it extremely difficult to deceive or hack.
The Ghost also has the valet-mode, which can be activated if you are handing your vehicle to an individual for parking or service. This disables the immobiliser on the CAN for 30mph and enables you to use the vehicle in normal mode using your key fob or mobile app. When the vehicle is set up again the Ghost will be restored to full function.

No hacking, cloning, or cloning
The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers on the market, it protects your vehicle from key cloning or hacking making it virtually impossible to steal. The only way thieves could steal your vehicle is by physically towing it away. Even then, they would not be capable of starting the engine.
This is because unlike other immobilisers that prevent the car from starting if they don’t have your fob this system actually shuts off the engine control unit, ensuring that the vehicle can’t start. It operates by sending a signal through buttons on your steering wheel or door panel, or on your central console that can only be disarmed by entering the proper pin code configuration, it is this feature that makes the Ghost difficult to break.
Its discreet and sleek design allows it to fit in seamlessly into your vehicle, without additional keys or LED indications It operates on its own, independent 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 your car’s key fob or alarm.
Contrary to other systems that rely on RF scanning or code grabbing this technology is indestructible to thieves since it sends an unobtrusive sequence of pin codes through the buttons that are already present on your vehicle’s steering wheel doors, door panels, or the 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 generating a unique pin code, which needs to be entered in order to disarm the device.
With the growing number of keyless entry cars that are on the road the thieves are becoming more sophisticated and Ghost 2 Immobiliser utilizing cloning devices that can be bought via classifieds or online for less than PS15. They can then use the cloned fob to gain access to your vehicle. A standard vehicle immobiliser only stops the engine from starting only if you have the original key fob. This does not offer enough security and 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 signals. The system will search for the code sent by the key to start the car. If the signal is not able to be detected, the system will cut off the power and prevent the car from starting. This is the basic principle behind all immobilisers that are sold on the market and is a vital security measure to ensure that your vehicle can’t be stolen even if someone else has your keys or a device to enhance the signal of your key fob.
A ghost immobiliser does more than simply stop this. The system, located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes is programmed with an unique PIN code that has to be entered in order to start the car. This is then locked in your app, and only anyone else will be able to access it without the same pin as you.
The system will also prevent hacking, cloning, and signal jamming (which can be used by thieves to circumvent the immobiliser on your vehicle). If a burglar gets their hands on your car keys or key fob, they won’t be able to start your vehicle even if it is in a nearby parking lot. The only way for them to get your car away is to physically transport it away in a flatbed lorry, which is incredibly unlikely.
Valet mode is an option with your ghost immobiliser. When it is activated the car’s glove box and trunk will be locked, so that anyone who steals your car will not be able to take any personal items to take with them. It also limits the speed of your Tesla to ensure it can’t be driven over 70mph. It also will disable ludicrous modes. It will also block your driver profiles and hide your home or work addresses so that nobody other person can access your personal data on your Tesla dashboard.
If you would like to make use of your car for valet parking or service purposes, just select the ‘Valet/Service’ feature in the dashboard app and then enter your 4-digit valet number on the touchscreen. The alarm will cease to be activated, but the car won’t start unless you enter a valid pin. This is perfect for people who need to give their vehicle to other people, such as garage mechanics and taxi drivers.
The world’s first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser
The Autowatch Ghost offers unparalleled security and is the only aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser available in the world. It safeguards your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and even key theft. This is accomplished by integrating into your vehicle’s current interface. It does not require additional remotes or fobs however, it instead connects to the vehicle’s data network, CAN. This makes it a ‘stealth’ device.
The device is a hidden circuit board that connects to the engine management system in your car (ECU) and functions in a non-silent manner. Once activated, it’ll prevent the car from starting until you enter a PIN. This is the unique number you receive when you request an installation. This number will be needed to activate valet mode, deactivate the alarm, or allow you to drive away in your friends car (if they have a Ghost installed too).
It is designed to ensure that it is not spotted by anyone who looks into your cars interior, does not transmit radio signals and will only be heard when it’s being activated. It can be placed in a variety of locations, making it almost impossible to spot. It is also low-maintenance and can be used in combination with other anti-theft devices like trackers (Brand dependent) for an all-inclusive solution.
Many people opt for ghost immobilisers because they feel that the existing security measures aren’t enough to protect their pride and joy. Whilst physical deterrents like locking the steering wheel and wheel clamps are an excellent option, they are not really considered “theft proof” by thieves because they can be defeated quite easily using the proper tools. A ghost immobiliser can’t, however, be bypassed by a thief as it is covertly integrated inside the vehicle. Its activation activated would shut down components such as the starter motor or fuel system.
The most appealing aspect is that a ghost immobiliser can be installed for as low as PS450, which is less than the price of other options out there. It also does prevent your car from being stolen!
