Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern criminals can steal a car in under a minute. They use the vehicle's OBD port to hack into the ECU & then duplicate a new key, all using a hidden laptop in the car.
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser will prevent this by sending pin codes to buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels & central console). It is completely inaccessible to anyone else in your car.
No key fobs, or LED indicators to reveal its location
If you're looking for a solution to stop keyless entry theft or key cloning, then you should look no further than the ghost immobiliser. This device shields your vehicle from these kinds of attacks by blocking the engine after a correct pin code is entered. This is an effective method to safeguard your vehicle. Even car insurance companies recognize it as a security feature that can reduce the cost of insurance.
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 begin when you press a specific button sequence using your unique override code. This means that any attempt to start the vehicle without entering this code will be met by a loud siren and the engine will not start. The criminal will realize that they have been caught and are likely to leave the vehicle and escape.
ghost immobiliser birmingham has the benefit of not transmitting any signals, like a tracker. Thieves aren't able to use RF receivers to pinpoint your Ghost device's location. It also does not transmit any IR (infrared) signals, like the typical remote key fobs to control the device or trackers do, which makes it very hard to bypass or hack.
The Ghost also has a valet-mode that can be activated when you are giving your vehicle over to a valet for parking or service. This disables the immobiliser on the CAN for 30mph and allows you to operate the vehicle normally using your key fob or smartphone app. When the vehicle is parked up, the Ghost will be restored to full functioning.

No cloning, hacking or modifying
The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers on the market. It protects your car from key cloning and hacking making it virtually impossible to take. 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 because, unlike other immobilisers which only stop your car from starting if they don't have your fob, this innovative system actually cuts off the engine control unit so that the vehicle cannot start. The system transmits a message through buttons on the steering wheel, door panel or the centre console. It is only disarmed using the proper pin code configuration.
Its sleek and subtle design allows it to seamlessly into your vehicle without the necessity of additional keys or LED indicators. It runs independently of your factory alarm or tracker. It also functions as a bus immobiliser meaning that it is part of the control area network of your vehicle and doesn't interfere with other devices, such as your vehicle's key fob or alarm.
Contrary to other systems that depend on codes grabbing or RF scanning, this unique technology is undetectable to thieves because it only transmits an inaudible sequence of pin codes through existing buttons on your vehicles steering wheel and door panels as well as the central console. The Ghost is an innovative device that protects your vehicle from keyless entry and smart key theft by generating an individual, unique pin code that needs to be entered to disarm it.
With the increasing number of keys-less entry vehicles on the road the thieves are becoming more sophisticated and are using cloning equipment that can be bought via classifieds or online for less than PS15. They can then use this fob that was cloned to gain entry to your vehicle. The standard immobiliser will stop the car from starting if the thief has the original key fob. It's not enough security and it's very easy for criminals to jam or fake signals to unlock the car.
Valet mode
A standard immobiliser fitted to your vehicle uses an electronic chip that transmits a signal when you press the key fob button. The system will then search for that specific code sent from the key to start the vehicle. If the correct signal cannot be detected the system will shut off the power and prevent the vehicle from beginning. This is the principle behind all aftermarket car immobilisers. It's a crucial measure to safeguard your car from being stolen, even if someone has your keys or an accessory that can enhance the signal of your key fob.
But a ghost immobiliser doesn't only stop it from happening, it goes much further. The system, which is located on the CAN bus of your Mercedes is programmed with a unique PIN code push sequence that must be entered in order to start the vehicle. This is then locked on your application and nobody can ever access it unless they have the exact pin that you have.
The system will also stop cloning, signal jamming and hacking (which thieves could use to get around the immobiliser in your car). If a thief manages to get their hands on the keys to your car or fob, they will not be able start your vehicle even if it is located nearby. They could only get your car on the flatbed truck and that's highly unlikely.
Valet mode comes as a standard feature with your ghost immobiliser. When it is activated the glove box and trunk of your car will be locked. This means that anyone trying to steal your car will not have anything personal to take. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla to ensure that it cannot be driven over 70mph. It will also disable absurd modes. It will also lock your driver profiles and hide your home or work addresses to ensure that no one else can access your private data on your Tesla dashboard.
If you wish to utilize your vehicle for valet parking or service reasons, simply choose the 'Valet/Service' mode in the dashboard app and then enter your 4-digit valet pin on the touchscreen. Once you have done this the alarm functions will be bypassed however it will hinder the ability to start your vehicle without a valid pin entered. This is ideal for those who need to transfer their vehicle to others, such as taxi drivers and garage mechanics.
The first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser in the world
The Autowatch Ghost offers unparalleled security and is the only aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser in the world. It protects your car from key cloning, hacking and even key theft. This is accomplished by integrating into your vehicle's current interface. It doesn't require any additional fobs or remotes, but instead integrates with the vehicle's data network CAN. This makes it a 'stealth' device.
The device is a circuit board buried in your car's engine control unit (ECU). It functions quietly. Once activated it will prevent your vehicle from starting until a specific PIN is entered. This is a specific number that you will receive when you make an appointment for installation. This number is required to activate valet, disable the alarm, or allow you to leave in a friend's car (if they also have Ghost installed).
It is designed so that it can't be seen by anyone looking inside your car's interior. It does not send any radio signals, and is only heard when it's activated. It can be fitted in a variety places, making it nearly impossible to detect. It's also low-maintenance and can be used in combination with other anti-theft systems like trackers (Brand dependent) to offer the complete solution.
Many people opt to install a ghost immobiliser because they feel that standard security is not enough to prevent their pride and joy from being taken. While physical deterrents like wheel locks for steering wheels and wheel clamps are an excellent alternative, they aren't really considered "theft proof" by thieves because they can be defeated quite easily with the right tools. Ghost immobilisers are not an easy target for thieves since it is built into the vehicle and, if activated would shut down the starter motor or the fuel system.
