Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser

It only makes sense to ensure the safety of our vehicles as they are an expression of pride and joy. The Autowatch Ghost system is a discrete immobiliser that connects to your vehicle CAN data network and functions through the ECU which is your car's 'brain'.

The device is similar to a PIN code on a credit or debit card, will not permit your vehicle to move unless you enter the pin code sequence in up 20 presses.

There are no key fobs or LED indicators to give away the location of the item.

The Ghost Immobiliser does not use key fobs or LED indicators so it is almost undetectable to anyone who enters your vehicle. The system utilizes buttons on the steering wheel, centre console or door to generate an individual pin code that has to be entered in order for your car to begin. The system can be set to require up to 20 press before the engine can begin to turn on making it nearly impossible for thieves or cloners to gain access into your car.

Modern car thieves utilize diagnostic tools that are professional to identify which security systems are installed in vehicles, however the ghost 2 immobiliser review (from Irken Co) does not transmit any signals like the conventional systems do. Criminals can recognize the type of security equipment installed in your car using sophisticated RF scanning technology such as code grabbing, relay and attack techniques. They are able to disable the security system of your vehicle by tampering with the alarm or immobiliser.

Contrary to other immobilisers available on the market The Ghost is incorporated into your car or van's CAN data network, so it is virtually impossible to hack and bypass. The system also works with many newer vehicles which do not come with built in keyfob security. It also works in all electric vehicles and even prevent the vehicle from going into "service valet mode".

If it is installed by one of our fully trained engineers, we provide an TASSA confirmed guarantee to give you the peace of mind your installation is safe and of the highest quality. TASSA is a group that strives to improve and maintain standards in the automotive security industry. They make sure that all their approved installers have been DBS checked, fully trained, insured and certified for Ghost installation. You will also receive your Ghost emergency card, installation certificate and owner manuals. This will also make your vehicle qualified for a substantial reduction in your insurance premiums. This is because your vehicle will be less likely be stolen and your insurance company will have a better time recovering.

No Circuit Cuts

The Ghost is the original aftermarket immobiliser for CAN buses that safeguards your vehicle like nothing else available. Contrary to other aftermarket security devices, it's not connected to key fobs or LEDs and communicates directly with the vehicle's CAN system. It can then block the ECU and prevent the engine from running until a specific PIN has been entered via the steering wheel or dash buttons (brand dependent). This makes it difficult for thieves to alter the system by using relay attacks or any other method.

The system comes with an Service and Valet mode that is activated when the vehicle is in garage for servicing or valet parking. This allows the vehicle to start temporarily while being worked on without having to give keys or enter the pin code. It the system automatically shuts down after the vehicle is in your possession.

This makes the Ghost a much more secure solution for classic, sports or high-end cars that require battery isolation when parked up for long periods of time. It is also undetectable by the latest RF scanning technology and code grabbing, making it very difficult for hackers or thieves to bypass.

If you're looking for a comprehensive vehicle security system that is not just secure against key-cloning and hacking, but can also track your vehicle in the event of theft then we suggest you look into one of our S7 tracker systems which work seamlessly with the Ghost to give you complete peace of mind. All installations are performed by an approved installer from TASSA who is fully qualified, insured and experienced. You'll also receive a Ghost emergency card, owner manuals and Installation certification.

No RF Scanning

Many car thieves employ sophisticated equipment to copy keys and steal vehicles. These devices are readily accessible on the internet and require very little skill to operate. The Ghost immobiliser is undetectable using these devices since it does not depend on RF scanning.

Instead, the system uses the buttons inside your car to create a unique pin code push sequence. This is done by using the buttons on your steering wheel or door panels, or centre console. It is also a reversible number, not a pin like a remote fob, which makes it extremely difficult to hack.

This makes the Autowatch Ghost very secure and extremely simple to use. It isn't dependent on the smartphone and can be used with a small, waterproof wireless tag, or the Apple or Android app (sold separately). You can go into service mode with your mobile device and drive away. Then you can return the vehicle to valet mode and disable your smartphone. This is a great option for classic cars and high-end automobiles that are typically maintained by dealer garages.

Brand-dependent, these CANBUS immobilisers work with other security devices such as alarms or trackers. This gives users to decide whether they want to prioritise their alarm or tracker over the imobilisers CAN bus. This is especially useful if you have a Thatcham-approved Tracker installed, as the tracker will be activated prior to the time Ghost is activated.

The CANBUS immobilisers block the codes transmitted by the remote keys that were originally used to the ECUs and BCM controllers. This stops them from activating the engine and/or starting the car. These systems are able to provide an additional security layer for vehicles equipped with remote controls that are factory installed.

If you're looking to add an upgrade in security for your BMW then the Autowatch Ghost is an ideal solution. It is virtually impossible to detect since it is hidden in the wiring. It doesn't use LED indicators or keys-fobs which prevents any criminal from being able to detect its presence.

No Electronics to Detected

As a leading Thatcham installer, we install a new, revolutionary product by Autowatch called the Ghost Immobiliser. It blocks Keyless Entry theft or cloning that is increasing in modern automobiles. It is a secret device that doesn't depend on LED indicators or key fobs. It uses the factory buttons that are in your car to generate an individual pin code sequence that you can push. This is needed to start or move the car. If this sequence is not properly entered, the car will not start or move at all. Many insurance companies are asking for this device to be installed as standard, and it can often lead to a decrease in monthly cost.

It doesn't require the cutting of any wires to be installed because it is connected to the CAN data bus and operates via the ECU (Engine Control Unit). The unit isn't able to be detected by hi-tech thieves using diagnostic tools, and cannot listen for the click of a traditional security device. Ghost Immobilisers can be set to operate in a service mode which allows your vehicle to start without the PIN code. This is beneficial for transporting it to a garage or valet parking service. The PIN code can be changed at any time to provide added security.

The Ghost II is TASSA approved which means that it is only available from fully certified installers. This provides a high level of security and also ensures that the Engineer who installs it is DBS checked, insured and trained.

While it's not a substitute for an alarm system we always recommend you to combine it with other physical barriers like crook locks and wheel clamps and, if you can, a hidden GPS tracker such as Meta Trak VTS to give you the highest level of security available. This is especially important if you keep your keys in the ignition even when it is not actually being driven because there are numerous methods that can be employed to fool the driver into believing that they are still inside the vehicle and allow a theft to occur.
