Modern criminals can steal a car in less than a minute. They use the vehicle's OBD port to hack the ECU and then duplicate a new key, all using a hidden laptop in the car.
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser will prevent this by sending pin codes to buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels and central console). It is completely unnoticeable to anyone inside your vehicle.

The ghost immobiliser is a great method to protect against keyless entry theft and key copying. ghost immobiliser review protects your vehicle from these types of attacks by blocking the engine after a correct pin code is entered. This is a highly effective method of safeguarding your car, and even insurance companies recognize it as a security measure that can help reduce the cost of your insurance.
The way the ghost works is through connecting to your vehicle's CAN data network. Once installed by us at Car Theft Solutions it will only start when you enter a specific button sequence using your unique override code. The engine won't start in the event that you attempt to start your vehicle without having the code. The criminal will realize that they have been caught and is likely to leave the vehicle and escape.
One of the main advantages of this system is that it doesn't transmit any signals, like a tracker, this means that thieves can't utilize RF signal receivers in order to locate your Ghost unit. It also does not send out any IR (infrared) signals, like the standard remote key fobs to control the device or tracker do, making it extremely difficult to deceive or hack.
The Ghost also comes with the valet-mode, which is activated if you are handing your vehicle to valet to park or service. This will disable the immobiliser CAN for 30mph and allow you to drive as normal using your key fob. When the vehicle is set up, the Ghost will regain full functioning.

No cloning or hacking
The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced immobilisers on the market. It protects your vehicle from key cloning or hacking making it nearly impossible to take. The only way a thief could steal your car is physically towing it away & even then they wouldn't be capable of starting the engine.
This is due to the fact that unlike other immobilisers that only stop the vehicle from starting if they don't have your fob this system actually shuts off the engine control unit, ensuring that the vehicle can't start. The system transmits a message through buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, or centre console. It can only be disarmed using the correct pin code configuration.
Its sleek and discrete design allows it to fit in seamlessly into your vehicle, with no additional keys or LED indicators It operates on its own, independent of your alarm system or tracker from factory. It's a CAN bus immobiliser, which means that it is part of the vehicle's control network and doesn't interfere with other devices such as your vehicle's key fob or alarm.
In contrast to other systems that depend on RF scanning or code grabbing, this unique technology is indestructible to thieves since it sends an unobtrusive sequence of pin codes through the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheel doors, door panels, or the central console. The Ghost is a revolutionary 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 that must be entered to disarm the device.
With the growing number of keyless entry cars that are on the road the thieves are becoming more sophisticated and using cloning equipment which can be purchased via classifieds or online for less than PS15. The key fob that is cloned can be used to gain access to the vehicle. The standard immobiliser will only stop the car from starting if the criminal has your original key fob. This is not enough protection and it's very easy for criminals to jam or fake signals to unlock your vehicle.
Valet mode
Standard immobilisers fitted to your car use an electronic chip to send signals. The system will look for the code that was sent by the key to start the vehicle. If the proper signal isn't received, it will cut off the signal and stop the engine from beginning. This is the basis of all immobilisers for cars that are aftermarket. It's a crucial step to protect your vehicle from being stolen, even if a person has your keys or an accessory that can increase the signal from your key fob.
Ghost immobilisers do more than stop this. The system, located on the CAN Bus of your Mercedes is programmed with a unique PIN code that needs to be entered in order to start the vehicle. This is then locked on your app and no one will ever be able to access it unless they have the same unique pin you have.
The system will also stop cloning, signal jamming and hacking (which thieves could employ to bypass the immobiliser on your vehicle). If a burglar manages to get their hands on your car keys or key fob, they will not be able to start your car even if it's parked nearby. The only way for them to escape with your car is to physically transport it off on the flatbed of a lorry which is extremely unlikely.
Valet mode comes as a standard feature with your ghost immobiliser. When it is activated the glove box as well as trunk of your vehicle will be locked. This means that anyone who tries to take your car away will not have anything personal to take. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla to ensure that it cannot be driven more than 70mph. It will also disable insane modes. It will also block your driver profiles and conceal your home and work addresses so that no one else can access your private data on your Tesla dashboard.
If you want to use your car as valet parking or service, choose the 'Valet/Service' mode on the dashboard app. Enter your 4-digit valet code on the touchscreen. The alarm will cease to work, however the car won't start unless you enter a valid pin. This is ideal for those who need to give their car to others such as taxi drivers and garage mechanics.
