Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern thieves can steal a vehicle within a matter of minutes. They make use of the car's OBD port to hack the ECU & then duplicate a new key, all using an unnoticed laptop inside the car.
An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser prevents this by sending a sequence of pin codes through the buttons on your vehicle (steering wheel and central console). It is completely undetectable by anyone in your vehicle.

The ghost immobiliser is the best method to protect against keyless entry theft and key cloning. This device shields your vehicle from these types of attacks by blocking the engine after a correct pin code is entered. This is a reliable way to protect your car. Insurance companies for cars consider it a security feature that could lower the cost of a policy.
The ghost connects to the CAN data network in your vehicle. Once it is installed by Car Theft Solutions, it will only work when you enter your personal override code and a specific button combination. This means that any attempt to start the vehicle without entering this code will be met by a loud siren and the engine won't start. The thief then realizes that they have been caught and will likely abandon the vehicle.
One of the big advantages of this system is that it doesn't transmit any signals as a tracker, this means that thieves cannot make use of RF signal receivers to pinpoint the location of your Ghost device. It does not emit any IR (infrared signals) like standard remote control key fobs and trackers, making it hard to hack or bypass.
Another benefit of the ghost is that it comes with the valet mode which can be activated when you hand your vehicle over for valet parking or servicing. The immobiliser will be disabled can for 30mph and permit you to use your vehicle as normal with your key fob. If the vehicle is parked up, the Ghost will be restored to full functionality.

No hacking, cloning, or altering
The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers on the market, it protects your car from key cloning or hacking making it nearly impossible to steal. The only method to steal your car is to physically remove it. Even then, they would not be able to start the engine.
This is due to the fact that, unlike other immobilisers that only stop your vehicle from starting if don't have the fob, the clever system actually shuts off the engine control unit to prevent the vehicle from being started. It operates by sending a signal to buttons on your steering wheel, door panel or centre console that can only be deactivated by entering the correct pin code It is this feature that makes the Ghost difficult to break.
Its sleek and discreet design allows it to be seamlessly into your vehicle without the requirement for additional keys or LED indicators. It operates independently of your factory alarm or tracker. It is also a CAN bus immobiliser, which means it sits within the control area network of your vehicle and doesn't interfere with other devices, such as the built-in key fob or alarm.
This unique technology is not visible to thieves and other systems that rely on codes and RF scanning. It only transmits pin codes silently through the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheels or door panels, or central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary device that protects your vehicle from theft of keys that are keyless and smart key theft. It does this by creating a unique pin code, that must be entered in order to disable the device.
The number of keyless entry vehicles that are on the road is growing. Thieves are getting more sophisticated and use devices to clone your vehicle which can be bought on the internet or in classifieds less than 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 person who stole it 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
A standard immobiliser fitted to your vehicle is an electronic chip that transmits an alert when you press your key fob button, the system will then look for that specific code that was sent from the key to start the vehicle. If the signal is not able to be detected the system will shut off the power and prevent the vehicle from beginning. This is the principle behind all immobilisers that are sold on the market and is a vital security measure to ensure that your car isn't stolen even if someone else has your keys or a device to enhance the signal of your key fob.
However, a ghost immobiliser doesn't only stop it from happening, it goes much further. The system, which is on the CAN bus of your Mercedes is programmed with a unique PIN that has to be entered to start the vehicle. The app is then locked your app, and no one can ever access it unless they have the same pin that you have.
The system will also stop cloning, signal jamming and hacking (which thieves may use to bypass the immobiliser on your vehicle). If a thief manages to get their hands on your car keys or key fob, they will not be able start your vehicle even if it is parked nearby. They might only steal your car onto flatbed trucks which is extremely unlikely.
Valet mode is a useful feature that is included with your ghost immobiliser. When it is turned on the glove box and trunk of your car will be locked. This means that anyone attempting to steal your car will not have anything personal to take. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla to ensure it can't be driven over 70mph. It also will disable ludicrous modes. It will also lock your driver profiles and hide your home / work addresses so that nobody else has access to the private information on your Tesla dashboard.
If you want to use your vehicle for valet parking or service, choose the 'Valet/Service mode' in the dashboard app. Enter your 4-digit valet code on the touchscreen. The alarm will no longer be activated, but the car will not start until you have entered an authentic pin. This is ideal for those who need to give their vehicle to other people like taxi drivers or 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 guards against key cloning or hacking, and even the theft of keys. This is achieved by working alongside your vehicles current interface. It does not require additional fobs or remotes however, it instead connects to the vehicle's data network, CAN. This makes it a stealth gadget.
The device is an in-built circuit board that connects to your car's engine management system (ECU) and functions in a non-silent manner. When activated, it will prevent the car from starting unless the PIN is entered. This is a unique code that you will be given when you book an installation. This number is needed to activate valet mode, disable the alarm or allow you to leave in your friends car (if they have a Ghost installed too).
It is designed to blend in from the interior of your vehicle. It doesn't emit radio signals, and only makes sounds when it is activated. It can be placed in a variety of locations and is nearly impossible to identify. It's also low-maintenance and can be used in combination with other anti-theft devices, such as trackers (Brand dependent), to provide a complete solution.
Many people install an immobiliser ghost because they feel that the existing security measures aren't sufficient to protect their pride and joy. Physical deterrents, such as wheel clamps and steering wheel locks are great alternatives, but they're not considered "theft-proof" by thieves because they are easily beaten with the proper tools. Ghost immobilisers can't, however, be beaten by a burglar because it is hidden inside the vehicle. If activated, it would shut down parts such as the starter motor or fuel system.
The best part is that a ghost immobiliser can be installed for as little as PS450 which is less than the cost of other products out there - and it actually will protect your vehicle from being stolen!
