It also is resistant to jamming devices, which is an approach used frequently by thieves to bypass existing immobilisers.

The advantage of CAN data over traditional systems is that they operate silently. It cannot be detected using sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing technology as well as detected by traditional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost does not use LED indicators, but instead uses buttons in your vehicle, such as the steering wheel, centre console, or doors, to create unique sequences for disarming. You can even make this sequence as long as 20 presses to increase security. The iPhone app lets you make only one, authenticated connection using a pairing code that is unique to the Ghost and the communication between the two is secured.

The Ghost stops car thieves from adding an ignition key replacement or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser. The engine will only start when a valid PIN code is entered. It is also possible to put it into valet/service mode for a temporary operation (with specified parameters, such as a 30mph speed limit) to allow you to hand your car over to a valet service or for servicing without the need to enter a pin code.

Every vehicle is tested

The Autowatch Ghost is the world's first aftermarket immobiliser on the CAN bus that connects to the existing wiring in your vehicle and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device detects electronic signals to block the system of your vehicle from going through its normal start-up routine until you input a custom passcode. The system can be turned on or off via your smartphone's app, without the need for additional wires.

Standard factory immobilisers in vehicles function by using a transponder built into the key that sends a signal to the ECU.

It does this without extra hardware, such as key fobs. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also inaccessible to diagnostics equipment and does not transmit radio frequency signals so thieves are unable to utilize sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing technology to discover that a security system has been installed.

Unlike physical anti-theft devices like wheel locks or clamps, ghost immobiliser Problems is hidden within the vehicle, so it cannot be taken away or disabled by thieves. It's more difficult to remove than a car alarm that requires disarming via an action sequence. This makes it an excellent alternative to a GPS tracking device that can be used to locate your vehicle after it's been taken.

Emergency PIN code override
