Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

Modern thieves can rob a car within a matter of minutes. They use the OBD port of the car to hack into the ECU and then duplicate keys, all using a laptop that is hidden inside the vehicle.

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

No key fobs or LED indicators or other means to locate the vehicle are available.

The ghost immobiliser is the most effective method to protect against keyless entry theft and key copying. This device is designed to guard your vehicle from these types of attacks, by preventing the engine after a proper pin code is entered. This is a very effective method of safeguarding your vehicle, and car insurance companies recognise it as a precautionary measure that could help lower the cost of your 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. The engine will not start when you attempt to start your vehicle without the code. The thief will then realize that they are being taken prisoner and will likely leave the vehicle.

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

Another advantage of the ghost is that it comes with the valet mode which can be activated when you hand your vehicle over to valet parking or for Autowatch Ghost immobiliser servicing. This disables the CAN immobiliser for 30mph, and enables you to use the vehicle in normal mode using your key fob or phone app. If the vehicle is parked up again, the Ghost will regain full functioning.

No cloning or hacking

The autowatch ghost Immobiliser (maxtremer.com) is one of the most advanced models on the market. It shields your vehicle from key cloning and hacking, making it nearly impossible to take. The only way thieves could steal your vehicle is to physically tow it away, and even then they won't be in a position to start the engine.

This is because unlike other immobilisers that stop your car from starting if they do not have your fob, this innovative system actually cuts off the engine control unit, ensuring that the vehicle is unable to be started. It works by sending a signal to buttons on your steering wheel and door panel, as well as your centre console that can only be disarmed by entering the correct pin code configuration It is this feature that makes the Ghost difficult to break.

Its sleek and discrete design ensures that it will fit into your vehicle seamlessly with no additional keys or LEDs It operates on its own, independent of your original alarm or tracker. It's a CAN-bus immobiliser, which means that it sits in the vehicle's control network and does no interfere with other devices, such as your car's key fob or alarm.

This exclusive technology is not easily detected by thieves unlike other systems that employ RF scanning and code grabbing. It only transmits pin codes in a silent manner through the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheels doors, door panels or central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary device that defends your vehicle against keyless entry and smart key theft by producing an individual, personalized pin code which must be entered in order to disable it.

With the increasing number of keyless entry cars that are on the road the thieves are becoming more sophisticated and using cloning equipment which can be purchased online or through the classifieds for less than PS15. They can then use the fob that was cloned to gain entry to your vehicle. The standard immobiliser will stop the vehicle from starting if the criminal has the original key fob. It's not enough protection, and it's easy for criminals to jam or fake signals to unlock the car.

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 received the system will cut off the power and prevent the car from starting. This is the principle behind all aftermarket car immobilisers. It's an essential step to protect your vehicle from being stolen, even if someone has your keys or a device that could increase the signal from your key fob.

However, a ghost immobiliser does not just stop it but it also goes a step further. The system, which is located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes is programmed with a unique PIN code that needs to be entered to begin the car. It is then secured in your app, and no one else can 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 circumvent the immobiliser on your vehicle). If a burglar manages to get their hands on your keys to your car or fob, they won't be able start your vehicle even if it's parked nearby. The only way for them to escape with your car would be to physically take it away on the flatbed of a lorry, which is incredibly unlikely.

Valet mode is an option with your ghost immobiliser. When it is activated the glove box as well as trunk of your car will be locked. This means that anyone trying to take your car away will not have anything personal to take. It also limits the speed of your Tesla so that it can't be driven at over 70mph and will disable ludicrous mode. It will also block your driver profiles and hide your home / work addresses so that no one else can access the private information on your Tesla dashboard.

If you would like to use your vehicle for valet parking or other service-related purposes, simply select the 'Valet/Service' feature in the dashboard app and then enter your 4-digit valet pin on the touchscreen. After you've done this, the alarm functions will be disabled however, it will prevent you from starting your vehicle without a valid pin entered. This is ideal for people who have to hand over their vehicle to others, like taxi drivers or garage mechanics.
