What Is Ghost Immobiliser And Why Is Everyone Talking About It?

Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me

Modern criminals can steal a car within a matter of minutes. They use the OBD port of the vehicle to hack into the ECU and then duplicate keys using a laptop hidden in the vehicle.

An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser prevents this by transferring a sequence of pin codes via the buttons that are already in your vehicle (steering wheel & central console). It is completely undetectable to anyone in your car.

No key fobs, LED indicators or other methods of locating the vehicle are accessible.

The ghost immobiliser is a great way to prevent keyless entry theft and key cloning. This device is designed to safeguard your vehicle from these types of attacks, by blocking the engine after a valid pin code has been entered. This is a very efficient method of protecting your car, and car insurance companies recognise it as a security measure that could help lower the cost of your policy.

The ghost connects to your vehicle’s CAN data network. Once installed by Car Theft Solutions, it is only functional 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 greeted by a loud siren and the engine won’t start. The criminal then realizes they have been caught and will most likely leave the vehicle.

One of the main advantages of this system is that it does not transmit any signals like trackers, which means that thieves can’t make use of RF signal receivers to pinpoint the location of your Ghost unit. It doesn’t emit IR (infrared signals) like typical remote control key fobs as well as trackers, making it difficult to bypass or hack.

Another benefit of the ghost is that it features a valet mode that can be activated when you surrender your vehicle to a valet service or parking. This will turn off the immobiliser CAN for 30 mph and allow you to drive in normal fashion using your key fob. The Ghost will be fully functional when the vehicle is returned to its parked position.

No cloning or hacking

The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers available on the market. It protects your vehicle from key cloning or hacking making it near impossible to steal. The only way thieves could steal your vehicle is physically towing it away. Even then, they won’t be capable of starting 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 Ghost’s clever system actually disconnects the engine control unit to prevent the vehicle from being started. It works by sending a signal to buttons on your steering wheel, door panel or centre console that can only be disarmed by entering the proper pin code configuration It is this feature that makes the Ghost impossible to break.

Its sleek and discrete design allows it to fit seamlessly into your car without the requirement for additional keys or LED indicators. It operates independently of your factory tracker or alarm. It also functions as a bus immobiliser meaning that it sits within the control area network of your vehicle and is not interfering with other devices, such as your vehicle’s key fob or alarm.

This exclusive technology is not detectable by thieves unlike other systems that use RF scanning and code grabbing. It only transmits a series of pin codes in a silent manner through the buttons on your vehicle’s steering wheel doors, door panels or central console. The Ghost is a groundbreaking product that protects your vehicle from theft of keys that are keyless and smart key theft. It does this by generating an individual pin code which must be entered to disarm the device.

The number of vehicles with keyless entry in circulation what is a ghost immobiliser increasing. Thieves are getting more sophisticated and are using devices for cloning which can be bought through classifieds or online for less than PS15. They can then use the fob that is cloned to gain access to your vehicle. A standard vehicle immobiliser stops the engine from running if they have your original key fob. This is not enough security and makes it easy for criminals to alter or block signals to unlock the vehicle.

Valet mode

Standard immobilisers installed to your vehicle use an electronic chip that sends a signal. The system will then look for the code that was sent by the key to begin the vehicle. If the proper signal cannot be detected the system will cut off the power and prevent the vehicle from starting. This is the basis of all immobilisers for cars that are aftermarket. It’s an essential measure to safeguard your car from being taken away, even if someone has your keys or an accessory that can enhance the signal of your key fob.

Ghost immobilisers do more than simply stop this. The system, which is located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes has been programmed with a unique pin code that needs to be entered to start the car. This is then locked on your app and no one is able to access it until they have the exact pin you have.

The system will also stop cloning, signal jamming and hacking (which thieves may employ to bypass the immobiliser on your vehicle). This means that if a burglar does somehow get hold of your car keys or key fob, they will not be capable of starting your vehicle even if parked within the distance of a few feet. They may only be able to steal your car on the flatbed truck which is extremely unlikely.

Valet mode comes as an option with your ghost immobiliser. When it is activated the glove box of your car and trunk will be locked, so that thieves will not have any personal items to take. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla to ensure it can’t be driven at speeds of more than 70mph. It will also disable absurd modes. It will also conceal your work and home addresses and make your driver profiles secure, and also lock your Tesla dashboard so that nobody else has access to access the private data.

If you would like to make use of your car for valet parking or other service-related reasons, simply choose the ‘Valet/Service’ feature on your dashboard app and enter the 4-digit valet pin you have on the touchscreen. After this is done, the alarm functions will be bypassed however it will prevent you from starting your car without a valid pin entered. This is ideal for those who need to hand their vehicle over to others like garage mechanics and taxi drivers.
