Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser

It is only logical to protect our vehicles, since they are an expression of pride and joy. The Autowatch Ghost is a discrete vehicle immobiliser that connects to your vehicle's CAN data network. It works through the ECU (your car's brain).

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

No Key Fobs or LED Indications to indicate its location

The Ghost Immobiliser is virtually invisible to anyone entering your vehicle since it does not utilize LED indicators or key fobs. The system makes use of buttons that are already in use, such as the centre console, door or steering wheel to create a unique, changeable pin code sequence that must be entered before your vehicle starts. The system can be configured to take up to 20 presses of the buttons before the engine can begin, making it nearly impossible for thieves to copy your keys or hack into your vehicle.

Modern car thieves utilize diagnostic tools that are professional to determine which security systems are installed in vehicles, but the Ghost does not transmit signals like the conventional security systems do. Using sophisticated RF scanning, code grabbing technology and relay attack methods criminals can determine the kind of security equipment is installed in your vehicle. This will permit them to alter the immobiliser or alarm circuits to disable your security system and escape with your vehicle.

The Ghost is unique from other immobilisers that are available on the market because it is integrated directly into the CAN data network of your vehicle or van, making it nearly impossible to bypass. The system is compatible with newer cars that don't have keyfob security. It can also be used in all electric vehicles and can even stop the car from entering "service valet mode".

After installation by our fully trained engineers, TASSA will verify the installation to ensure that it is safe and up to standard. TASSA is an organisation which maintains and improves standards in the security of vehicles industry.

This is because your vehicle will be less likely be robbed and your insurers will have an easier recovery process.

No Circuit Cuts

The Ghost is an immobiliser CAN bus that protects your car better than anything else. Unlike other aftermarket car security devices, this one isn't connected to key fobs or LED indications and works by communicating directly with the vehicle's CAN system. It will then block the ECU and stop the engine from running until a unique PIN has been entered into the steering wheel or dash buttons (brand dependent). This makes it impossible for thieves to alter the system through relay attacks or any other method.

The system also features the Service and Valet mode that is activated when the vehicle is in the garage to service or valet parking. The vehicle can be started temporarily while working and without the need to enter the pin code or hand over the keys. It will then automatically stop itself when you return the vehicle.

No Scanning with RF

Many car thieves are using sophisticated equipment to clone vehicle keys and steal vehicles. These devices are readily available on the internet and require little knowledge to operate. The Ghost immobiliser cannot be detected by these cloning devices as it doesn't rely on RF scanning.

The system instead uses the buttons on your car to generate an individual pin code push. This is done using the buttons that are already on your steering wheel, door panels or center console. It's also a switchable number and not a PIN like a remote fob making it difficult to hack.

This makes the Autowatch Ghost very secure and incredibly hassle free to use. It doesn't require a smartphone, but can be used using a small waterproof tag or an Apple or Android App (sold separately). You can simply switch into service mode using your mobile device, then drive away and then return your car to valet mode and turn off your phone. This is perfect for classic cars as well as prestige vehicles which are often taken in for service at dealer garages.

Brand-dependent brand-specific, these CANBUS immobilisers are compatible with other security devices like alarms or trackers. This lets the user decide if they want their tracker or alarm to be the first priority over immobilisers CAN bus. This is especially useful in the event that you have a Thatcham approved Tracker installed since the tracker can be armed before the Ghost immobiliser London is activated.

The CANBUS immobilisers utilize the cars CAN data bus to block the codes that could be transmitted to the ECU and BCM controllers by the remote keys that came with it, this prevents them from starting the car or activating the engine.

It is not necessary to cut wires to connect it, since it connects to the CAN bus and works through the ECU. The device cannot be detected using the kinds of diagnostic tools that thieves using high-tech use, and there isn't a way to listen for the distinctive click of a conventional relay as on a traditional security device. The Ghost Immobiliser may also be set up in the service mode, so that your vehicle can be started and driven without the need for a PIN code This is helpful when you need to take it to the garage or for valet parking services or for valet parking services.
