Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern thieves can steal a vehicle in less than a minute. They make use of the OBD port of the vehicle to hack into the ECU and then duplicate the key and all with a laptop that is hidden inside the vehicle.
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser can prevent this by sending pin codes to buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels & central console). It is completely unnoticeable to anyone in your vehicle.
No key fobs, LED indicators or other means to locate the vehicle are accessible.
If you’re looking for a way to stop keyless entry theft or key cloning then look no further than the ghost immobiliser. This device is designed to protect your vehicle against these types of attacks, by blocking the engine after a proper pin code has been entered. This is a great way to protect your car. Insurance companies for cars consider it a security feature that can lower the cost of a policy.
The way that the ghost operates 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 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 thief then realizes that they’ve been taken prisoner and will likely leave the vehicle.
This system has the advantage of not transmitting any signals like a tracker. Thieves can’t use RF receivers to pinpoint your Ghost device’s location. It also doesn’t send out any IR (infrared) signals, like the usual remote key fobs to control the device or trackers do, making it difficult to deceive or hack.
The Ghost also comes with the valet-mode, which is activated if you are giving your vehicle to valet to park or service. This will turn off the immobiliser CAN for 30 mph and allow you to drive as normal with your key fob. The Ghost will be fully functional when the vehicle is parked again.

No hacking, cloning, or altering
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced immobilisers available. It protects your vehicle from key cloning and hacking which makes it almost impossible to steal. The only way to steal your car is physically tow it away. Even then, they won’t be able to start the engine.
This is because, unlike other immobilisers that only stop the car from starting if you don’t have your fob, this system actually shuts off your engine control unit so that the vehicle cannot start. It operates by sending a signal through buttons on your steering wheel and door panel, as well as your centre console which can only be disabled by entering the correct pin code configuration, it is this feature that makes the Ghost impossible to break.
Its sleek and Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me discrete design allows it to fit seamlessly into your car without the necessity of additional keys or LED indicators. It operates independently of your factory alarm or tracker. It is a CAN-bus immobiliser, which means it sits in your vehicle’s control network and doesn’t interfere with existing devices such as the key fob in your vehicle or alarm.
In contrast to other systems that rely on RF scanning or code grabbing, this unique technology is indestructible 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 doors, door panels, or the central console. The Ghost is a groundbreaking product that safeguards your vehicle from theft of keyless entry and smart key theft. It does this by generating an individual pin code which needs to be entered to disable the device.
The number of vehicles that have no keyless entry in circulation is increasing. Thieves are becoming sophisticated and use devices to clone your vehicle which can be bought on the internet or in classifieds less than PS15. The cloned key fob could be used to gain access to the vehicle. A standard vehicle immobiliser stops the engine from running 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 unlock the vehicle.
Valet mode
An immobiliser that is standard on your vehicle has an electronic chip which sends a signal when you press the key fob button, the system then searches for the specific code that was sent from the key to start the vehicle. If the proper signal cannot be received the system will cut off the power and prevent the vehicle from starting. This is the principle behind all immobilisers that are sold on the market and is a crucial security measure to ensure that your car can’t be stolen even if a burglar has your keys or a device that can enhance the signal of your key fob.
However, a ghost immobiliser doesn’t only stop that, it goes much further. The system, which is located on the CAN bus of your Mercedes is programmed with a unique PIN code that has to be entered in order to start the vehicle. The sequence is then encrypted in your application, and no anyone else will be able to access it without having the same pin as you.
The system will also stop cloning, hacking and signal jamming (which could be used by thieves to bypass the immobiliser in your vehicle). This means that if someone does somehow get hold of your car keys or key fob, they won’t be in a position to start your vehicle even if in the vicinity of a few feet of it. They might only steal your car onto a flatbed truck which is extremely unlikely.
Valet mode comes as a standard feature with your ghost immobiliser. When activated, the glove box of your car and trunk will be locked, so that anyone stealing your car will not be able to take any personal items to take. It also limits the speed of your Tesla to ensure that it cannot be driven over 70mph, and it will also disable the ridiculous mode. It will also conceal your work and home addresses and lock your driver profiles, and lock your Tesla dashboard so that no one else is able to access the private data.
If you would like to use your car for valet parking or service, choose the ‘Valet/Service’ option on the dashboard app. Enter the 4-digit valet number on the touchscreen. The alarm won’t work, however the car won’t begin until you have entered a valid pin. This is ideal for people who have to hand over their vehicle to others, like taxi drivers or garage mechanics.
The world’s first aftermarket immobiliser for CAN buses
The Autowatch Ghost is the world’s first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser. It offers security that is unparalleled by any other product available today. It guards against key cloning and hacking and even theft of keys. This is achieved by integrating into your vehicle’s current interface. It does not use additional fobs or remotes but is integrated into the vehicle’s CAN data network. This makes it a stealth gadget.
The device is an in-built circuit board that connects to the engine management system in your car (ECU) and functions in a non-silent manner. Once activated, it will stop your car from starting until a specific PIN is entered. This is a unique number that you will be given when you book an installation. This number is required to activate valet, disable the alarm, or let you drive away in a car belonging to a friend (if they also have Ghost installed).
It is designed to blend in from the interior of your vehicle. It doesn’t emit radio signals, and only makes sounds when it is activated. It can be installed in a variety of locations which makes it virtually impossible to spot. It’s also low-maintenance and can be utilized in combination with other anti-theft systems like trackers (Brand dependent), to provide a complete solution.
Many people opt to put in a ghost immobiliser because they believe that the standard security isn’t enough to stop their joy and pride from being stolen. Physical deterrents such as wheel clamps and locking mechanisms for steering wheels are excellent alternatives, but they are not considered “theft-proof” by thieves since they can be easily defeated with the proper tools. A ghost immobiliser, however, can’t be bypassed by a thief since it is concealed inside the vehicle. If activated would shut down components such as the starter motor or fuel system.
The best part is that ghost immobilisers can be installed as low as PS450 which is less than the price of other options out there – and it actually can prevent your car from being taken away! If you’re looking for an additional layer of security to ensure that your pride and joy is secure and safe, then contact us today and we can book it in for you.
