Ghost Immobiliser Cars
A ghost immobiliser car is an advanced security device that protects your vehicle from hacking and key cloning. It is completely undetectable, and does not leave any marks after installation. This makes it a preferred choice for owners of expensive vehicles or cars that are rare.
The buttons on your steering wheel, console and door panels are used to generate an unique pin-code sequence (up to twenty characters) that is required to begin the engine.
There are no key-fobs, LEDs or other indicators to reveal the location of the vehicle.
Ghost immobilisers are a new technology that protects your car from key cloning, hacking and theft. It is a discrete electronic device that connects to the car’s data network. It snoops on signals from the engine control unit. This device stops the engine from starting until you enter a unique PIN code. It ensures that thieves aren’t able to drive away with your joy and pride.
The device is connected to your vehicle’s CAN Bus and can access to data from the ECU of your car and the other connected components. Its installation is a highly complex procedure that requires skilled installation, and should only be carried out by a certified installer. Once it is installed, it will be hidden inside your car and thus unnoticeable to thieves. In addition to preventing engine start, it can also detect vibrations and the movement of components within the vehicle.
If a thief attempts to disable the device, the engine management lights will blink rapidly, and the horn will sound. This alerts the driver that there is something wrong in the engine, prompting the driver to panic and abandon the vehicle. This gives you a huge advantage over an ordinary immobiliser because the owner of the vehicle will know that the vehicle is in trouble and contact the authorities immediately.
The device can be deactivated via an app, which is accessible to the owner and installer (even although it’s unlikely anyone will forget their PIN number!). Certain systems also have a service/valet mode, which will temporarily disarm the immobiliser and allow a trusted person to drive your vehicle without having to enter the PIN. The system will activate once the vehicle has exceeded 31 mph and driven for a certain period of time.
No Bluetooth or wireless connectivity
It is therefore undetectable to modern thieves who employ diagnostics to identify the hidden immobiliser or circuit cut. This makes it a powerful deterrent to vehicle theft. The GHOST also offers options for your specific vehicle features like gearbox locks (to stop the engine from starting while in the gearbox) and anti-hijack, which we can set up for you after installation.
Our approved installers can connect the GHOST to a wide range of vehicles. It is fully compatible with all Mercedes vehicles. In contrast to other products on the market, the GHOST is compatible with your vehicle’s existing interfaces such as buttons on your steering wheel or driver’s side door card or centre console. It’s a stealth-immobiliser for the 21st century, which works independently of your factory-installed alarm or tracker.
The Ghost can be disabled by entering a secret sequence of buttons from the driver’s smartphone application. This is possible from anywhere in the world, and is easy and hassle-free. You can alter the sequence as many times as you wish but it’s only visible to the app’s creator.
You can disable the GHOST on your satnav by entering in a different sequence. This makes it more secure and less attractive to thieves. This method is so effective that an Bentley Bentayga valued at PS200k was stolen recently while it was parked, and the driver entered their PIN in order to disable the device.
No annual fees
ghost 11 immobiliser is a more sophisticated immobiliser that can thwart the many methods employed by thieves to steal cars. For instance, it can detect signals jamming, device spoofing and other techniques that make the theft of your vehicle more difficult. The device also requires an additional, unique pin number or code sequence to start the engine. This discourages thieves and encourages your car to be left unattended.
This makes it a valuable tool for cars with high-end features that are more at risk of theft. This means you can enjoy greater security and protect the value of your vehicle. The Ghost Immobiliser can even lower your insurance rates. While the device costs more than traditional immobilisers, the security it provides makes it worth the investment.
In contrast to other devices, Ghost doesn’t require an annual subscription. It connects to your phone via low energy bluetooth. This creates a secure encrypted connection between the immobiliser and your phone, which makes it almost impossible for hackers or criminals to break into. Additionally, there aren’t LED indications to give away the location of the device.
The Autowatch Ghost is a reliable car immobiliser ghost immobiliser that is easy to install and remove from your car. Its’service valet’ mode allows you to disable the car immobiliser when you take your vehicle for service or test. Enter the PIN code once you return to your car.
The Autowatch Ghost can also be used with newer vehicles that do not come with an immobiliser fitted at the factory. It can be used to transfer between vehicles if you sell your previous vehicle in the event that the new car is compatible.
No need to memorise a PIN code
Ghost immobilisers are an additional layer that blocks thieves from starting your car even if they’ve cloned or stolen your key fob. It is connected to your car’s control area network (CAN) system and shuts down the engine if you press the start button without entering a PIN sequence first. There’s no new keypad fitted; instead, it uses buttons in your vehicle, such as the steering wheel, door panels, or centre console. It’s not just untraceable to thieves, but also preserves your vehicle’s interior.
The Autowatch Ghost 2 immobiliser is an electronic device discrete that works with your car’s ECU to create an impossible wall for thieves to break through. It operates in a quiet manner and emits no radio signals, which makes it completely invisible to traditional RF scanning technology that thieves use to steal the signal from your key fob and clone it. It is a TASSA-verified product, which means it has been independently tested to the highest standards. Some insurance companies recognise this as a valuable addition to protect your vehicle’s security.
If you need to give your car over to valet parking, service or a friend can drive it for you, then the ghost CAN immobiliser may be switched to ‘Service/Valet’ mode’. You can switch this mode using a unique pin code that is only available to you, and it can be changed at any time.
This is a quick and simple procedure that you can accomplish with the help of the manual supplied with the Ghost. It will explain how to enter the code and how to reset it if you forget.
Easy to reset
Since their introduction, ghost immobiliser cars have proven to be a pioneer in vehicle security. Utilizing undetectable position as well as communication with CANBus to ECU technology, and unique pin code entry, it’s been able to keep one step ahead of most ruthless thieves. It doesn’t require a key fob or any other wireless connectivity to function. It can also be removed from the vehicle when you decide to sell it.
Like any password or security measure it’s inevitable that you may forget the PIN number for your ghost immobilise immobiliser ghost. However, if this happens it’s not necessary to worry about it because it’s simple to reset. You can get an emergency code by contacting the installer who installed your system. The code is typically hidden in the scratch-off section of a card provided at installation. It’s essential to store this information in a secure location.
The Emergency Code allows you to gain access to your car so that you can drive in the normal way. This is a great option in situations where you need to transfer your car to someone other than yourself for service or valet parking. It is also a good option in order to ensure that your vehicle is safe when you are away from it, so that no one else can start the engine.
