Why You Need a Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Modern day thieves can take vehicles in less than a minute. They use the vehicle's OBD port to hack into the ECU & then duplicate a new key, all via a laptop hidden in the car.
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser prevents this by sending pin codes to buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels & central console). It is completely invisible to anyone else in your vehicle.
There are no key fobs, LED indicators or other means to locate the vehicle are in place.

This device protects your vehicle from these kinds of attacks by preventing the engine from running when the valid pin code has been entered. This is a reliable way to protect your car.

The ghost connects to the CAN data network in your vehicle. Once installed by Car Theft Solutions, it will only work when you enter your personal override code as well as a specific button combination. The engine will not start if you try to start your vehicle without using the code. The thief will then realize that they've been caught and will likely abandon the vehicle.
