Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern day thieves can steal vehicles within 1 minute. They make use of the OBD port of the vehicle to hack into the ECU and then duplicate a key, all using a laptop hidden in the vehicle.
An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser blocks this by sending a sequence of pin codes through buttons on your vehicle (steering wheel and central console). It is completely undetectable to anyone inside your car.
No key fobs, or LED indications to give away its location
If you're looking for a method to stop keyless entry theft or key cloning then look no further than the ghost immobiliser. This device safeguards your vehicle from these kinds of attacks by preventing the engine from running after the valid pin code has been entered. This is an extremely effective method of safeguarding your car, and even insurance companies see it as a precautionary measure that could help lower the cost of your policy.
The ghost is connected to your vehicle's CAN data network. Once installed by Car Theft Solutions, it is only functional when you enter your personal code for override and a specific button combination.

It also does not transmit any IR (infrared) signals, like the usual remote key fobs for control or tracker do, making it very hard to bypass or hack.

The only way for them to get your car away would be to physically take it off on an oversized lorry that has a flatbed which is highly unlikely.
