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 OBD port of the car to hack into the ECU and then duplicate keys using a laptop that is hidden inside the vehicle.  
  
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser can prevent this by sending pin codes to the buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels and central console). It is completely unnoticeable to anyone inside your vehicle.  
  
No key fobs, LED indicators or other means of locating the vehicle are in place.  
  
If you're looking for a way to stop keyless entry theft or key cloning, then you should look no further than the ghost immobiliser. This device protects your vehicle from these types of attacks by preventing the engine from running after a proper pin code is entered. This is a highly efficient method of safeguarding your vehicle, and insurance companies recognize it as a safety measure that can help reduce the cost of your policy.  
  
The ghost connects to your vehicle's CAN data network. 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 greeted with a loud alarm, and the engine will not start. The thief then realizes that they have been caught and will most likely leave the vehicle.  
  
This system has the advantage of not transmitting any signals like the tracker. Thieves aren't able to use RF receivers to pinpoint your Ghost unit's location. It doesn't emit IR (infrared signals) as do typical remote control key fobs and trackers, making it difficult to hack or bypass.  
  
The Ghost also has valet-mode which can be activated if you are transferring your vehicle over to valet to park or service. This will disable the immobiliser on the CAN for 30mph and allows you to operate the vehicle in normal mode using your key fob or smartphone app. When the vehicle is parked up again the Ghost will be restored to full function.

No cloning or hacking  
  
The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers on the market. It shields your vehicle from key cloning or 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 start the engine.  
  
This is because unlike other immobilisers that only stop your vehicle from starting if don't have the fob, the innovative system actually cuts off the engine control unit in order to prevent the vehicle from being started. The system communicates an alert via buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, or centre console. It can only be disarmed using the proper pin code configuration.  
  
Its sleek and subtle design allows it to be seamlessly into your car without the requirement for additional keys or LED indicators. It functions independently of the factory tracker or alarm. It's a CAN-bus immobiliser, which means that it sits in the vehicle's control network and does no interfere with other devices, such as your car's key fob or alarm.  
  
This exclusive technology is not visible to thieves and other systems that employ RF scanning and code grabbing. It only transmits pin codes silently through the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheel doors, door panels or central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary device that safeguards your vehicle from theft of keyless entry and smart key theft. It does this by creating an individual pin code which needs to be entered to disable the device.  
  
With the increasing number of keyless entry cars on the road the thieves are becoming more sophisticated and are using cloning equipment that can be purchased via classifieds or online for less than PS15. They can then use this cloned fob to gain access to your vehicle. A standard immobiliser for vehicles only prevents the engine from starting only if you have the original key fob. This does not provide enough protection and it is easy for criminals to alter or jam signals to unlock the vehicle.  
  
Valet mode  
  
Standard immobilisers fitted to your vehicle employ an electronic chip that sends a signal. The system will then search for the code transmitted by the key to start the vehicle. If the signal isn't detected, it will cut off the signal and stop the engine from getting started. This is the principle behind all immobilisers that are sold on the market and is a vital security measure to ensure that your vehicle can't be stolen even if a burglar has your keys or a device that could boost your key fob signal.  
  
But a ghost immobiliser doesn't just stop it but it also goes a step further. The system, which sits on the CAN bus of your Mercedes, is programmed with a unique PIN that has to be entered in order to start the vehicle. It is then secured on your app, and no one will ever be able to access it unless they have the same pin you have.  
  
The system will also stop signal jamming, cloning and hacking (which thieves can use to get around the immobiliser in your car). If a thief is able to get their hands on your keys to your car or fob, they won't be able to start your car even if it is in a nearby parking lot. The only way they could escape with your car would be to physically take it off on the flatbed of a lorry, which is incredibly unlikely.  
  
Valet mode comes as a standard feature with your ghost immobiliser. When it is activated the car's glove box 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 that it cannot be driven over 70mph. It will also disable insane modes. It will also lock your driver profiles and hide your home or work addresses to ensure that no one other person can access your private data on your Tesla dashboard.  
  
If you wish to make use of your car for valet parking or service reasons, simply choose the 'Valet/Service' mode on your dashboard app and enter your 4-digit valet pin on the touchscreen. After you've done this, the alarm functions will be removed however, it will block the ability to start your vehicle unless a valid pin is entered. This is a great option for those who have to hand over their car to others such as taxi drivers and garage mechanics.  
  
The first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser on the world  
  
The Autowatch Ghost provides unbeatable 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 achieved by working alongside your vehicles current interface. It doesn't require additional remotes or fobs and instead works with the vehicle's data network, CAN. This makes it a stealth' gadget.  
  
The device is a circuit board hidden in the engine control unit (ECU). It operates quietly. When activated, it will stop the car from starting until the PIN is entered. This is a specific number that you will be given when you book an installation. This number is required to activate valet, turn off the alarm, or allow you 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, but it does emit makes sounds when it is activated. It can be fitted in a variety of places, making it virtually impossible to detect. It is also a low-maintenance gadget and can be used in conjunction with other systems, such as a tracker (Brand dependent) to provide the most complete anti-theft system.  
  
Many people choose to fit a ghost immobiliser because they believe that the standard security isn't enough to protect their pride and joy from being stolen. Physical deterrents, such as wheel clamps and steering wheel locks are great alternatives, but they're not considered "theft-proof" by thieves as they are easily beaten with the proper tools. Ghost immobilisers are not an easy target for thieves since it is built into the vehicle and, if activated, will stop the starter motor as well as the fuel system.  
  
The best part is that a ghost immobiliser can be installed for as little as PS450, which is a tiny fraction of the cost of other products available there - and it actually does protect your vehicle from being taken away!
