No hacking or cloning
The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers on the market. It protects your car from hacking or key cloning, making it virtually impossible to take. The only way a thief could steal your vehicle is to physically tow it away & even then they would not be able to start the engine.
This is because unlike other immobilisers which only stop your vehicle from starting if you do not have a fob, the clever system actually disconnects the engine control unit in order to prevent the vehicle from being started. This system works by sending messages through buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, or centre console. It can only be disarmed using the correct pin code configuration.
Its discreet and sleek design means that it fits in seamlessly into your vehicle, without additional keys or LEDs – it runs independently from your alarm system or tracker from factory. It is also a CAN bus immobiliser, which means it is part of the control area network of your vehicle and does not interfere with any other devices such as your vehicle’s key fob or alarm.
In contrast to other systems that depend on code grabbing or RF scanning the ghost immobiliser 2‘s unique technology is indestructible to thieves because it only transmits a silent 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 shields your vehicle from keyless entry theft and smart key theft. It does this by generating an unique pin code which must be entered to disarm the device.
The number of vehicles with keyless entry that are on the road is growing. Thieves are getting more sophisticated and employ cloning devices that can be purchased on the internet or in classifieds under PS15. The key fob that is cloned can be used to gain access to the vehicle. A standard immobiliser for vehicles only stops the engine from running only if you have the original key fob. This does not provide enough protection and it is easy for criminals to steal or jam signals to unlock the vehicle.
Valet mode
Standard immobilisers that are fitted to your vehicle use an electronic chip that sends signals. The system will look for the code that was sent by the key to start the car. If the signal is not able to be received the system will shut off the power and stop the car from starting. This is the fundamental 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 someone else has your keys or a device to boost your key fob signal.
However, a ghost immobiliser doesn’t only stop it from happening however, it goes far beyond that. The system, which is located on the CAN bus of your Mercedes, is programmed with a unique PIN push sequence that must be entered to start the vehicle. This is then locked in your app, and no one else can access it without the same unique pin that you have.
The system will also stop cloning, signal jamming and hacking (which thieves could use to bypass the immobiliser on your vehicle). This means that if someone does manage to get your car keys or your key fob, they won’t be capable of starting your car even if parked within the distance of a few feet. The only way to escape with your car would be to physically take it away in an oversized lorry that has a flatbed which is highly unlikely.
Valet mode is an option with your ghost immobiliser. When it is activated the glove box of your car and trunk will be locked, so that thieves won’t have any personal belongings to take with them. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla to ensure it can’t be driven more than 70mph. It will also disable insane modes. It will also lock your driver profiles and conceal your home and work addresses so that no one else can access your private data on your Tesla dashboard.
If you want to use your car for valet parking, or for service, choose the ‘Valet/Service’ mode on the dashboard app. Enter your 4-digit valet code on the touchscreen. The alarm will no longer be activated, but the car won’t start until you have entered a valid pin. This is ideal for those who need to hand their vehicle over to others like garage mechanics and taxi drivers.

Many people install ghost immobilisers because they believe that the standard security measures are not sufficient to protect their pride and joy. Physical deterrents such as wheel clamps and locking mechanisms for steering wheels are excellent alternatives, but they’re not considered “theft-proof” by thieves because they are easily beaten with the proper tools. Ghost immobilisers is, however, unable to be deceived by thieves because it is hidden within the vehicle and if activated, it would shut down parts like the starter motor or fuel system.
