Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser

It is only natural to protect our vehicles, since they are an expression of joy and pride. The Autowatch Ghost is a discreet vehicle immobiliser that connects to your vehicles CAN data network. It works through the ECU (your car's brain).

Once it is installed, the device will prevent your car from moving unless a chosen pin code sequence (up to 20 presses) is entered, similar to as a PIN on your credit card.

No key fobs or LED indicators to reveal its location.

The Ghost Immobiliser does not use key fobs or LED indicators so it is almost undetectable to anyone who gets into your vehicle. The system uses buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console, or door to generate a unique pin code that needs to be entered to allow your car to begin. The system can be configured to require up to 20 press before the engine can turn on which makes it virtually impossible for criminals or cloners to hack into your car.

Modern car thieves employ professional diagnostic tools in order to determine which security systems are fitted on vehicles. The Ghost however, doesn't send any signals. Criminals can identify the kind of security device installed in your car by using sophisticated technology for RF scanning such as code grabbing, relay and attack methods. They are able to disable the security system of your vehicle by altering the alarm or immobiliser.

The Ghost is unlike other immobilisers on the market because it is directly integrated into the CAN data network of your van or car, making it nearly impossible to break.

This makes it difficult for thieves to alter the system by using relay attacks or any other method.

The system comes with a Service & Valet mode that is activated while the vehicle is in a garage for servicing, or valet parking. The vehicle can be started temporarily while working without having to use the pin code or hand over the keys. It will then shut down once you return the vehicle.

No RF Scanning

This is done using the buttons that are already on your steering wheel or door panels, or on your central console. It can also be changed and not a pin number like remote keys, which makes it extremely difficult to hack.

This allows the user to decide if they would like their alarm or tracker to take priority over the CAN bus immobilisers. This is especially useful when you have a Thatcham-approved Tracker installed, as the tracker will be armed prior to the time ghost immobiliser london is activated.

No Electronics Detected

As a leading Thatcham installer, we install a new, revolutionary product from Autowatch called the Ghost Immobiliser. It prevents Keyless Entry theft or cloning that is increasing in modern vehicles. It is a secret system that doesn't use LED indicators or key fobs. It makes use of the buttons that are factory-installed in your car to generate a pin code push sequence that is specific to you and is required before your vehicle can start or be moved. If this sequence isn't correctly entered, the car will not start or move at all. Numerous insurance companies are insisting that this device be fitted as standard and it can often lead to a reduction in monthly premiums.

It doesn't require the cutting of wires to be installed as it connects up to the CAN data bus and functions via the ECU (Engine Control Unit).

Ghost Immobilisers can be set to a service mode, which allows your vehicle to start without the PIN code. This is beneficial for transporting it to garages or a valet parking service. The PIN code can be changed to provide additional security at anytime.

This is crucial, particularly if you have put your keys in the ignition even though the vehicle isn't being driven. There are a myriad of ways to trick the driver to believe that the keys are still inside the car and allow theft to take place.
