10 Ghost Immobiliser Tips All Experts Recommend
Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern criminals can steal a car in under a minute. They use the cars OBD port to hack into the ECU & then duplicate a new key, all via a hidden laptop in the car.
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser will prevent this by sending pin codes to the buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels and central console). It is completely undetectable to anyone inside your vehicle.
No key fobs or LED indicators, or any other means to locate the vehicle are in place.
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 after a correct pin code is entered. This is an effective way to protect your car. Insurance companies for cars recognize it as a security feature that could lower the cost of 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 exact sequence of buttons using your unique override code. The engine will not begin if you try to start your vehicle without the code. The thief then realizes that they have been caught and will likely abandon the vehicle.
One of the main advantages of this system is that it does not transmit any signals like the tracker, which means that thieves cannot use RF signal receivers to locate your Ghost unit. It also doesn't send out any IR (infrared) signals like the standard remote control key fobs or tracker do, which makes it very hard to bypass or hack.
Another advantage of the ghost is that it has a valet mode that can be activated when you give your vehicle for valet parking or servicing. This will turn off the immobiliser can for 30mph and permit you to use your vehicle as normal with your key fob. When the vehicle is set up again the Ghost will be restored to full function.

No hacking, cloning or altering
The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers available on the market. It shields your car from key cloning or hacking making it virtually impossible to steal. The only way that a burglar could steal your vehicle is by physically towing it away & even then they won't be able to start the engine.
This is because unlike other immobilisers that only stop your vehicle from starting if you don't have the fob, the clever system actually cuts off the engine control unit in order to prevent the vehicle from being started. This system works by sending an alert via buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, or the centre console. It is only removed with the correct pin code configuration.
Its sleek and subtle design allows it to be seamlessly into your car without the necessity of additional keys or LED indicators. It runs independently of your factory tracker or alarm. It also functions as a bus immobiliser, which means it sits within the control area network of your vehicle and does not interfere with other devices, such as the built-in key fob or alarm.
In contrast to other systems that depend on code grabbing or RF scanning this technology is completely undetectable by thieves since it sends a silent sequence of pin codes via the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheel doors, door panels, or the central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary product that safeguards your vehicle from keyless entry theft and smart key theft. It does this by creating a unique pin code, which needs to be entered in order to disable the device.
The number of vehicles with keyless entry on the road is increasing. Thieves are getting more sophisticated and use cloning devices which can be bought through classifieds or online for under PS15. The cloned key fob can be used to gain access to the vehicle. A standard vehicle immobiliser only prevents the engine from starting only if you have the original key fob, this does not provide enough protection and is easy for criminals to steal or jam signals to gain access to the vehicle.
Valet mode
Standard immobilisers that are fitted to your car use an electronic chip that sends a signal. The system will then look for the code that was sent by the key to start the vehicle. If the correct signal isn't detected, it will simply cut off and stop the engine from starting. This is the fundamental principle behind all immobilisers that are sold on the market and is a vital security measure to ensure that your car isn't stolen even if a burglar has your keys or a device that can boost your key fob signal.
But a ghost immobiliser doesn't just stop it but it also goes a step further. 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 app, and no anyone else will be able to access it without the same 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). This means that if a burglar does somehow get hold of your car keys or your key fob they won't be able to start your car even if they're in the vicinity of a few feet of it. They may only be able to steal your car on a flatbed truck, which is highly unlikely.
Valet mode is an option that comes with your ghost immobiliser. When activated, the glove box and trunk will be locked, so that anyone who steals your car won't have any personal belongings to carry with them. It also limits the speed of your Tesla, so it can't be driven over 70mph. It will also disable insane modes. It will also lock your driver profiles and hide your home / work addresses so that nobody other person can access your private data on your Tesla dashboard.
If you wish to use your car as valet parking, or service, select the 'Valet/Service' option on the dashboard app. Enter your 4-digit valet code onto the touchscreen. After this is done, the alarm functions will be disabled however it will prevent you from starting your vehicle without a valid pin entered. This is a great option for those who have to hand over their vehicle to others, like taxi drivers or garage mechanics.
The first aftermarket immobiliser for CAN buses
The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser and offers security that is unparalleled by anything available today. It safeguards you from key hacking or cloning, and even the theft of keys. It does this through the vehicle's current interface. It doesn't require additional remotes or fobs, but instead is integrated into the vehicle's CAN data network. This makes it a "stealth' device.
The device is an invisible circuit board that connects to the engine management system in your car (ECU) and operates in a silent manner. Once activated, it will stop the car from starting until a PIN is entered. This is the code you receive when you book an install. This number is required to activate valet, disable the alarm, or allow you to drive away in a friend's car (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 produces 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 utilized in conjunction with other anti-theft systems, such as trackers (Brand dependent), to provide an all-inclusive solution.
Many people choose to install an immobiliser ghost because they feel that the standard security measures are not sufficient to safeguard their pride and joy. Whilst physical deterrents like wheel locks for steering wheels and wheel clamps are a great option, they are not actually considered "theft proof" by thieves because they can be defeated quite easily using the right tools. A ghost immobiliser is, however, unable to be beaten by a burglar because it is hidden within the vehicle and if activated, it will shut down the components like the starter motor or fuel system.
A ghost immobiliser is installed for just PS450 It's just a fraction of the price of other products. It also helps stop your vehicle from being taken.
