Ghost Immobiliser: Myths And Facts Behind Ghost Immobiliser

Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

Modern thieves can rob a car within a matter of minutes. They use the vehicle's OBD port to hack into the ECU and then duplicate a key, all using a laptop hidden in the car.

The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser prevents this by sending pin codes to buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels and central console). It is completely unnoticeable to anyone inside your car.

There are no key fobs or LED indicators, or any other ways to locate the vehicle are in place.

The ghost immobiliser is a great method to stop keyless entry theft and key copying. This device safeguards your vehicle from these kinds of attacks by blocking the engine when the correct pin code is entered. This is a highly effective method of safeguarding your car, and car insurance companies recognise it as a precautionary measure that could help lower the cost of your insurance.

The way in which the ghost works 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 personalised override code. The engine won't start if you try to start your vehicle without having the code. The thief will then realise that they have been caught and will likely to leave the vehicle and run off.

One of the big advantages of this system is that it doesn't transmit any signals as trackers, which means that thieves cannot utilize RF signal receivers in order to determine the location of your Ghost unit. It also does not emit any IR (infrared) signals, like the usual remote control key fobs or tracker do, which makes it extremely difficult to deceive or hack.

The Ghost also comes with valet-mode which can be activated when you are handing your vehicle over to valet to park or service. This disables the CAN immobiliser for 30mph, and allow you to use the vehicle as normal with your key fob or phone app. The Ghost will be fully functional when the vehicle is returned to its parked position.

No cloning, hacking or modifying

The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers available on the market. It shields your car from hacking or key cloning, making it near impossible to steal. The only way that a burglar could steal your car is to physically tow it away, and even then they wouldn't be in a position to start the engine.

This is due to the fact that unlike other immobilisers that simply stop your vehicle from starting if don't have the fob, the innovative system actually cuts off the engine control unit to prevent the vehicle from starting. It operates by transmitting a signal via 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 difficult to break.

Its discreet and sleek design means that it fits in seamlessly into your vehicle, with no additional keys or LED indications - it runs independently from your original alarm or tracker. It also functions as a bus immobiliser, which means it sits within your vehicle's control area network and does not interfere with any existing devices like your vehicle's built in key fob or alarm.

Unlike other systems that depend on RF scanning or code grabbing, this unique technology is indestructible to thieves since it sends a silent sequence of pin codes through existing buttons on your vehicles steering wheel, door panels or central console. The Ghost is an innovative device that protects your vehicle against keyless entry and smart key theft by generating an individual, personalized pin code which must be entered to disarm it.

The number of vehicles with keyless entry on the road is increasing. Thieves are getting more sophisticated and employ cloning devices which can be bought online or in classifieds for under PS15. They can then use the fob that was cloned to gain entry to your vehicle. The standard immobiliser will only stop the car from starting if the thief has the original key fob. This isn't enough security and it's very easy for criminals to jam or fake signals to unlock your vehicle.

Valet mode

An immobiliser that is standard on your vehicle uses an electronic chip that transmits an alert when you press your key fob button. The system will then search for that specific code that was sent from the key to start the car. If the correct signal cannot be detected, the system will cut off the power and prevent the vehicle 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 car can't be stolen even if someone else has your keys or a device to increase the signal from your key fob.

However, a ghost immobiliser doesn't just stop it however, it goes far beyond that. The system, which is located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes is programmed with a unique pin code that must be entered to start the car. This is then locked in your app, and no other person can access it without the same unique pin as you.

The system will also stop cloning, signal jamming and hacking (which thieves could use to get around the immobiliser in your car). If a burglar gets their hands on your keys to your car or fob, they will not be able to start your vehicle even if it is parked nearby. The only way for them to take your car away would be to physically take it off on an oversized lorry that has a flatbed which is highly unlikely.

Valet mode is an option that comes with your ghost immobiliser. When it is turned on the glove box as well as trunk of your vehicle will be locked. This means that anyone attempting to steal your car won't have anything personal to steal. It also limits the speed of your Tesla to ensure it can't be driven at speeds of more than 70mph. It also will disable insane modes. It will also conceal your work and home addresses as well as make your driver profiles secure, and secure your Tesla dashboard so that no one else can access your private data.

If you would like to use your car for valet parking, or for service, select the 'Valet/Service mode' on your dashboard app. Enter the 4-digit valet number on the touchscreen. The alarm won't be activated, but the car won't begin unless you enter an authentic pin. This is a great option for those who have to hand over their vehicle to others, such as taxi drivers and garage mechanics.
