Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

Modern day thieves can steal vehicles in less than a minute. They use the vehicle's OBD port to hack the ECU & then duplicate a key, all from a hidden laptop in the car.

An Autowatch ghost immobiliser birmingham immobiliser stops this by sending a series of pin codes through the buttons on your vehicle (steering wheel and central console). It is completely inaccessible to anyone inside your car.

There are no key fobs or LED indicators or other ways to locate the vehicle are available.

The ghost immobiliser is a great way to prevent keyless entry theft and key copying. This device safeguards your vehicle from these types of attacks by blocking the engine after the proper pin code is entered. This is a highly efficient method of protecting your car, and even insurance companies see it as a security measure that can help reduce the cost of your policy.

The ghost connects to the CAN data network of your vehicle. Once installed by Car Theft Solutions, it is only functional when you enter your personal override code as well as a specific button combination. The engine will not start in the event that you attempt to start your vehicle without using the code. The thief then realizes that they have been caught and will most likely leave the vehicle.

One of the big advantages of this system is that it doesn't transmit any signals as trackers, which means that thieves can't make use of RF signal receivers to determine the location of your ghost immobiliser birmingham unit. It also doesn't emit any IR (infrared) signals, like the usual remote key fobs for control or trackers do, making it extremely difficult to deceive or hack.

The Ghost also comes with the valet-mode, which is activated if you are giving your vehicle over to an individual for parking or service. This will disable the immobiliser can for 30mph and permit you to use your vehicle as normal with your key fob. If the vehicle is parked up, the auto ghost immobiliser will regain 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 and hacking making it virtually impossible to steal. The only method to steal your car is physically tow it away. Even then, they wouldn't be able to start the engine.

This is due to the fact that unlike other immobilisers that only stop your car from starting if they don't have your fob this system actually shuts off your engine control unit so that the vehicle is unable to start. The system transmits messages through buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, or the centre console. It can only be disarmed using 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 operates independently of your factory tracker or alarm. It also functions as a CAN 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.

This unique technology is not easily detected by thieves, unlike other systems that use RF scanning and trackers code grabbing. It simply sends pin codes that are silently transmitted through the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheels, door panels, or central console. The Ghost is an innovative device that protects your vehicle against keyless entry and smart key theft by producing a unique, personalised pin code that needs to be entered in order to disable it.

With the increasing number of keys-less entry vehicles on the road the thieves are becoming more sophisticated and utilizing cloning devices that can be bought via classifieds or online for less than PS15. The cloned key fob can be used to gain access to the vehicle. The standard immobiliser will only stop the car from starting if the criminal has your original key fob. This isn't enough security and it's not difficult to get criminals to jam or spoof signals to unlock your vehicle.

Valet mode

An immobiliser that is standard on your vehicle is an electronic chip that sends an alert when you press your key fob button, the system then searches for the particular code you have that is sent by the key to start the car. If the proper signal isn't detected, it will simply cut off and stop the engine from beginning. This is the basic principle behind all aftermarket car immobilisers. It is a vital step to protect your vehicle from being taken away, even if someone has your keys or an accessory that can boost the signal of your key fob.

A ghost immobiliser does more than simply stop this. The system, located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes has been programmed with a unique PIN code that must be entered to begin the car. The app is then locked your app, and no one is able to access it until they have the exact pin that you have.

The system will also stop cloning, trackers signal jamming and hacking (which thieves may use to bypass the immobiliser on your vehicle). This means that if a thief does somehow get hold of your car keys or your key fob they won't be capable of starting your vehicle, even if they are just the distance of a few feet. They may only be able to steal your car onto a flatbed truck and that's highly unlikely.

Valet mode comes as an option with your ghost immobiliser. When activated, the glove box of your car and trunk will be locked to ensure that anyone stealing your car won't have any personal belongings to take with them. It also limits the speed of your Tesla, so that it cannot be driven over 70mph. It also will disable insane modes. It will also lock your driver profiles and hide your home / work addresses so that nobody else can access your personal data on your Tesla dashboard.

If you want to use your vehicle for valet parking or service purposes, just select the 'Valet/Service' mode on your dashboard application and then enter your 4-digit valet number on the touchscreen. The alarm will no longer work, but the car will not start until you have entered an authentic pin. This is ideal for those who need to give their vehicle over to others like garage mechanics and taxi drivers.

The first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser for the world

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser 2 offers unparalleled security and is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser in the world. It safeguards you from key hacking or cloning, and even the theft of keys. This is achieved through a partnership with your vehicle's current interface. It does not require additional fobs or remotes, but instead integrates with the vehicle's data network, CAN. This makes it a'silent' gadget.

The device is an in-built circuit board that connects to the engine management system in your car (ECU) and works silently. Once activated it will prevent your vehicle from starting until specific PIN is entered. This is the number you receive when you request an installation. This number is required to enable valet, deactivate 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 vehicle. It doesn't emit radio signals, and only makes sounds when it is activated. It can be installed in a variety of places and is nearly impossible to spot. It's also low-maintenance, and can be utilized in combination with other anti-theft systems, such as trackers (Brand dependent), to provide an all-inclusive solution.

Many people opt to put in a ghost immobiliser because they believe that standard security is not enough to prevent their joy and pride from being taken. Whilst physical deterrents like locking the steering wheel and wheel clamps are a great option, they're not really considered "theft proof" by thieves as they can be beaten easily with the right tools. Ghost immobilisers, however, can't be beaten by a burglar as it is covertly integrated inside the vehicle. If activated, it will shut down the components such as the starter motor or fuel system.

Ghost immobilisers are installed for just PS450 - a fraction of what other products cost. It also prevents your vehicle from being stolen.
