Ghost Immobiliser Review

Consumers are always trying to find ways to prevent car theft as it increases. Ghost immobilisers do exactly that.

It's the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that protects your vehicle from hacking, key cloning or keyless entry and even prevents thieves from stealing your vehicle.

No Faraday Bags and Radio Signals

In contrast to other physical anti-theft devices like wheel locks for steering wheels and wheel clamps, ghost immobilisers have been designed to be covert and inaccessible. They are integrated into the buttons of your vehicle, they provide protection against key hacking, cloning and ECU swapping, and even key theft. Ghost immobilisers stop the engine from running until you input a PIN code together with your key fob. The PIN code can be up to 20 presses long and can be changed by the driver using an app or the vehicle's buttons. If you do not remember your pin, a button breaks or you sell your car, there's an emergency PIN code unique to each device that can be used to reset the system.

Ghost immobilisers also have the benefit of being unnoticeable by diagnostic equipment and do not emit radio frequency signals. This means that thieves can't use sophisticated scanning technology to detect the security device. They also use the CAN data network, which requires no wire cutting upon installation and is quieter than other immobilisers.

Ghost immobilisers may not be Thatcham approved, but they are TASSA-approved. Some insurers will offer lower insurance rates to vehicles that have an aftermarket immobiliser. They are however recognised as an extra layer of security and have the potential to deter thieves from pursuing your vehicle of choice.

Autowatch Ghost is unlike factory-fitted immobilisers because it is compatible with a range of vehicles such as vans and motorhomes. It also works with electric vehicles, ride-on lawnmowers, and motorhomes too. This makes it more versatile than other anti-theft devices and it can be used in conjunction with vehicle trackers to provide the most effective car security system.

No Key Fobs or LED Indicators

Additionally, since it does not utilize keys or LEDs, it is much more difficult to find and hack than a standard factory-installed immobiliser.

The device connects to your vehicle's CAN (Control Area Network) and allows you to select a unique PIN push sequence of up to 20 digits in length - that is required to start your Range Rover or Land Rover J. This is similar to how you would enter the pin code to protect your bank card. It is not affected by cloning, or ECU swapping which would normally disable the factory immobiliser.

It is tiny and weatherproof, making it almost impossible to spot by a thief. It also communicates with CAN data bus, which means that it operates silently, again making it difficult to spot. This makes it a perfect supplement to your security systems and is especially useful because it can be used with other Autowatch technologies, such as the Ghost Bluetooth tag, which allows you to start your car without having to enter your PIN, or the ghost app.

The ghost immobiliser also comes with the advantage of not leaving visible marks inside your vehicle. This could be an issue with other security products that are sold aftermarket. This is especially appealing to those who want to keep their pride-and-joy as authentic as is possible for reselling.

Simple PIN Code Change Process

Ghost immobilisers are different from key fobs, which require a code to unlock the ECU of your car and allow it to start by communicating with the ECU through the CAN data network. They are therefore unnoticeable, silent and unhackable by diagnostic tools. Additionally, the technology of these systems means that they can be incorporated into a broad range of vehicles such as trucks, motorhomes, and plant machinery.

Our Autowatch Ghost system was created to offer complete security against theft. It blocks your vehicle from being started without a unique PIN code or the smartphone application with the Ghost app downloaded. This is an extremely high-security level that can help secure your vehicle from hacking, key cloning and ECU swapping.

It's safe because it does not require any extra components such as key fobs or LED indicators. Instead, the device utilizes your existing buttons on your steering wheel and door panels to generate an alterable sequence that has to be entered prior to the time your vehicle can start. This can be as long as 20 steps and functions similarly to the PIN code on a credit card.

The device is also hidden, so that thieves cannot find it. Furthermore, it doesn't utilize radio signals and works on the CAN data network, which makes it totally undetectable to thieves using RF scanners.

Many car thieves will attempt to remove the chip from the CAN or replace it in the ECU to avoid detection. However, this method is only possible for professionals with access to specialised tools. This is why the ghost car immobiliser immobiliser is efficient and can be used to protect your pride and joy against a lot of different types of vehicle thefts.

It is also able to be linked with an iPhone and you will need if you wish to start your car when it is in a garage at home or at work. The app will detect the phone and permit you to drive without needing a PIN. This functionality is available on any model of the Autowatch Ghost and can be paired with any smartphone you'd like.

The driver is able to alter the sequence at any time. It can contain up to 20 actions.
