It is also indestructible to jamming devices that are a common technique used by thieves to bypass existing immobilisers.

The benefit of using CAN data is that it operates silently compared to traditional systems. It isn't detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology and is also unrecognizable by traditional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost does not produce LEDs, but instead utilizes the buttons on your vehicle, such as the steering wheel or centre console panels to create a unique, programmable disarm sequence. The sequence can be extended to 20 or more presses for additional security. The iPhone app allows only one connection, and comes with a unique pairing code for the ghost immobiliser problems. All communication between the two devices is secured.

The Ghost will stop car thieves from putting in a new ignition key or replacing the ECU in order to bypass the immobiliser. The engine will only start when a valid PIN code has been entered.

This is done without any additional hardware, like keys fobs. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also unrecognizable by diagnostic equipment and does transmit radio frequency signals, so thieves cannot use sophisticated RF scanners or code grabbing technologies to detect that an installation has been made.

Contrary to physical anti-theft devices such as clamps or wheel locks, Ghost Immobiliser Problems Ghost is hidden within the vehicle so it can't be disabled or removed by thieves and is even more difficult to get rid of from a car alarm which requires disarming with an action sequence.
