Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser

It only makes sense to protect our vehicles, since they are a source of pride and happiness. The Autowatch Ghost is a discrete vehicle immobiliser that connects to your vehicles CAN data network. It operates through the ECU (your car's brain).

The device, which is similar to a pin code on a credit card does not permit your car to move unless you enter the pin code sequence in up 20 presses.

No Key Fobs or LED Indications to Give Away Its Location

The Ghost Immobiliser is virtually invisible to anyone who enters your vehicle as it doesn't use LED indicators or key fobs.

The system can be set to require up to 20 press before the engine can start, making it nearly impossible for criminals or cloners to hack into your car.

Modern car thieves can utilize diagnostic tools that are professional to detect what security systems are in vehicles, however the Ghost does not transmit any signals as conventional security systems do. Utilizing sophisticated RF scanning, code-grabbing technology and relay attack methods criminals can identify what kind of security equipment is in your vehicle. They are able to disable the security system of your vehicle by tampering with the alarm or immobiliser.

The Ghost is different from other immobilisers that are available on the market as it is integrated directly into the CAN data network of your van or car and is nearly impossible to break.

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

The system has the Service and Valet mode that is activated when the vehicle is in garage for servicing, or valet parking.
