Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern criminals can steal a car within a matter of minutes. They make use of the OBD port of the vehicle to hack into the ECU and then duplicate keys, all using an unprotected laptop inside the vehicle.
An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser prevents this by transferring a sequence of pin codes through the buttons that are already in your vehicle (steering wheel and central console). It is completely invisible to anyone inside your vehicle.
No key fobs or LED indicators, or any other ways to locate the vehicle are available.
The ghost immobiliser is the best way to prevent keyless entry theft and key copying. This device is designed to safeguard your vehicle against these types of attacks, by preventing the engine after a valid pin code has been entered. This is an extremely efficient method of safeguarding your car, and even insurance companies see it as a precautionary measure that can help reduce the cost of your insurance.
The way the ghost works is by 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 personal override code. 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 will then realise that they've been caught and are likely to abandon the vehicle and escape.
One of the big advantages of this system is that it does not transmit any signals as trackers, which means that thieves are unable to utilize RF signal receivers in order to locate your Ghost device. It also does not emit any IR (infrared) signals like the typical remote control key fobs or tracker do, which makes it extremely difficult to deceive or hack.
Another benefit of the ghost is that it features an option for valet parking that can be activated when you give your vehicle to a valet service or parking. This disables the CAN immobiliser for 30mph, and allows you to operate the vehicle as normal with your key fob or phone app. The Ghost will function fully when the vehicle is back in its parking spot.

The only way that a burglar could steal your vehicle is physically towing it away, and even then they wouldn't be in a position to start the engine.
This is due to the fact that unlike other immobilisers that stop your car from starting if you don't have your fob, this system actually shuts off the engine control unit so that the vehicle cannot start. It does this by transmitting a signal via buttons on your steering wheel or door panel, or on your central console that can only be disarmed by entering the correct pin code, it is this feature that makes the Ghost difficult to break.

It also functions as a CAN bus immobiliser which means that it sits within your vehicle's control area network and is not interfering with any existing devices like your vehicle's key fob or alarm.
This unique technology is not visible to thieves and other systems that rely on codes grabbing and RF scanning. It simply sends a series of pin codes that are silently transmitted through the buttons on your car's steering wheel, door panels, or central console. The Ghost is an innovative device that protects your vehicle against keyless entry and smart key theft. It does this by creating an individual, unique pin code that must be entered in order to disable it.

This is not enough security and it is easy for criminals to spoof or jam signals to gain access to the vehicle.
Valet mode

The system will also stop signal jamming, cloning and hacking (which thieves may use to bypass the immobiliser on your vehicle). This means that if a thief does manage to get your car keys or your key fob, they won't be able to start your vehicle even if just only a few feet of it. They may only be able to steal your car on flatbed trucks which is extremely unlikely.
Valet mode is an excellent feature that comes with your ghost immobiliser. When it is turned on the glove box as well as trunk of your car will be locked.
