Ghost Immobiliser Cars
Ghost immobilisers are an advanced security device that shields your vehicle from hacking and key cloning. It is unnoticeable and leaves no marks after installation, making it an ideal choice for owners of rare or expensive cars.
The buttons on your steering wheel or console as well as the door panels are used to create an individual pin-code sequence (up to twenty characters) that is needed to start the engine.
There aren't any keyfobs or LEDs or other indicators that can assist you in finding it.
Ghost immobilisers are a new piece of technology that guards your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and theft. It's a discrete electronic device that is connected to the data network of your vehicle and intercepts signals from the engine control unit (ECU). The system stops the engine from starting until you enter a specific PIN code. It ensures that thieves can't drive off with your joy and pride.
The device is connected to your vehicle's CAN bus which allows it to read data from the ECU and the other connected components in the vehicle. Installation is a highly specialised procedure that requires skilled installation and should only be performed by a licensed installer. Once installed, it'll be hidden within your vehicle and therefore, unrecognizable to thieves. In addition to being able to block engine start, it can also detect vibrations and movement of components inside 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 something is not right with the engine, causing them to panic and leave the vehicle. This is a fantastic alternative to an immobiliser that is standard since the owner of the vehicle can call the authorities right away when the vehicle is in danger.
The device can be disarmed by an app that can be accessed both by the owner as well as the installer (even since the majority of people are unlikely to forget their PIN code). Certain systems have a service/valet setting which temporarily disables the immobiliser and allow an authorized driver to drive the vehicle without needing an authorization code. The system will be activated when the vehicle has surpassed 31 mph and driven for a certain period of time.
No Bluetooth or wireless connectivities
It is therefore unnoticeable by modern thieves who use diagnostics to find an immobiliser that is hidden or a circuit cut. This makes it a powerful deterrent against vehicle theft. The GHOST also comes with options for your specific vehicle features, such as a gearbox lock (to prevent the engine from starting while in the gearbox) & anti-hijack that we can set up after installation.
Our certified installers can install the GHOST to a variety of vehicles. It is fully compatible with all Mercedes vehicles. In contrast to other products on the market it is the only one that works.

This makes it a 21st century stealth immobiliser that operates independently of the factory-installed alarm or tracker. It does not display any indication of its existence when installed in your car and hence the name.
The Ghost can be disarmed by entering a secret sequence of buttons using the driver's smartphone application. ghost ii immobiliser is easy to accomplish and can be done from any place in the world. You can alter the sequence as many times as you like too and it's only visible to the app's owner.
It's also possible to disable the GHOST on the satnav in your vehicle by entering in a different sequence, which makes it more secure as a deterrent against thieves. In fact, this method is so efficient that a Bentley Bentayga worth PS200k was recently stolen at a set of lights while it was stationary and the driver entered their PIN to deactivate the device.
No annual subscriptions
Ghost is a more advanced immobiliser that fights the different methods employed by thieves to steal cars. It is able to detect signals jamming techniques such as device spoofing, signal jamming, and other methods to make it harder to steal your vehicle. The device requires a unique pin code or code sequence to start the vehicle. This discourages thieves and encourages your car to be left alone.
This makes the device a valuable asset for vehicles with high-end features that are at greater risk of theft. This means you can enjoy greater security and preserve the value of your vehicle.

Furthermore, there are no LED indicators to reveal the location of the device.

The Autowatch Ghost can also be used with newer cars which do not have an immobiliser fitted at the factory. It can be used to transfer between cars when you sell your previous one in the event that the new vehicle is compatible.
There is no need to memorize a PIN code
A ghost immobiliser car is an additional layer of security that blocks thieves with a technological edge from starting your vehicle even in the event that they've copied your key fob or taken it. It connects to your car's Control Area Network (CAN) and disables the motor if you press the Start button without entering a PIN. There's no brand new keypad to be fitted but instead, it makes use of buttons on your vehicle, such as the steering wheel, door panels or the center console. This means it's not only inaccessible to thieves, but it also keeps the appearance of your vehicle's interior.

It doesn't require a key fob or any other wireless connectivity to function. It can also be removed from the vehicle if you decide to sell it.
It is normal to forget your PIN number, like you would with any other security or password measure. However, if this happens it's not necessary to worry too much as it's easy to reset. You can get an emergency code by contacting the installer that installed your system. The code is typically hidden in the scratch-off section of the card that was provided during installation. It's important to store this safely.
