Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser

With more and more happiness and pride being put into our vehicles, it only makes sense to protect them. The Autowatch Ghost is a discrete vehicle immobiliser which connects to your vehicles CAN data network. It works through the ECU (your car's brain).

Once installed the device will stop your car from moving unless an appropriate pin code sequence (up to 20 presses) is entered, similar to like a PIN on your credit card.

No key fobs, LED indicators to reveal the location of the item.

The Ghost Immobiliser is virtually invisible to anyone who comes into your vehicle because it doesn't use LED indicators or key fobs. The system utilizes buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console or door to create an individual pin code that has to be entered in order for your vehicle to begin. The system can be set to require up 20 presses before the engine will start which makes it virtually impossible for criminals or cloners to hack into your car.

Modern car thieves use professional diagnostic tools in order to determine what security systems are installed on vehicles. The Ghost however, doesn't send any signals. Criminals can recognize the type of security equipment that is installed in your vehicle using sophisticated scanners for RF such as code grabbing, relay and attack methods. This will allow them to modify the alarm or immobiliser circuits to disable your system and get away with your vehicle.

The Ghost is different from other immobilisers on the market because it is integrated directly into the CAN data network of your car or van and is nearly impossible to bypass. The system also works with many newer car's that do not have built-in key fob security. It is also used in electric cars and can prevent the vehicle from entering the "service valet" mode.

When it is installed by one of our fully certified engineers, we provide an TASSA verified guarantee to give you assurance that the installation is secure and of the highest standard. TASSA is a company which improves and maintains standards in the field of automotive security. They make sure that all their approved installers are DBS checked and are fully trained, insured and certified for Ghost installation. You will also receive your Ghost emergency card, installation certification and owner manuals. Your insurance premiums will be substantially reduced. This is because your car will be less likely to be robbed and your insurers will have a better time recovering.

No Circuit Cuts

The Ghost is an immobiliser for the CAN bus that protects your car better than anything else. Contrary to other aftermarket security devices, it's not connected to key fobs or LED indications and communicates directly with the vehicles CAN system. This enables it to block the ECU from starting and prevents the engine from running unless the PIN is entered through the dash or steering wheel buttons (brand dependant). This makes it impossible for criminals to hack' into the system by using relay attacks or any other method and cannot be disabled with the buttons a few times as in older systems.

The system also comes with the Service and Valet mode that is activated when the vehicle is in garage for servicing or valet parking. The vehicle can be started temporarily while working without having to use the pin code or hand over the keys. It will then automatically shut down once you have returned the vehicle.

This makes the Ghost safer option for classic, sports or high-end automobiles that require battery isolation when parked for long periods of time. It is also unnoticed by modern scans using RF and code-grabbing technology making it very difficult for thieves to steal or hack.

No RF Scanning

Many car thieves are using sophisticated equipment to clone vehicle keys and steal vehicles. These systems can be easily accessible on the internet and require no knowledge to operate. The Ghost immobiliser is not detectable using these cloning devices as it does not rely on the scanning of RF signals.

The system instead uses the buttons in your car to generate an unique pin code push. This is done using the buttons that are already on your steering wheel, door panels or center console. This is also a changeable number and not a PIN like a remote fob, which makes it extremely difficult to hack.

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser car is extremely secure and simple to use. It is not dependent on a smartphone and can be used with a small waterproof wireless tag, or the Apple or Android app (sold separately). You can simply switch into service mode with your mobile device, drive away and then return the vehicle to valet mode and turn off your phone. This is ideal for classic cars as well as prestige vehicles that are frequently taken to dealer garages.

Brand-dependent These CANBUS immobilisers can be used with other security devices, such as alarms or trackers. This allows the user to decide if they want their alarm or tracker to take priority over the CAN bus immobilisers. This is particularly useful if you have a Thatcham-approved Tracker installed, as the tracker will be armed prior to the time Ghost is activated.

The CANBUS immobiliser blocks codes sent by the remote keys used in the initial setup to the ECUs and BCM controllers. This blocks them from activating the engine or even starting the car. These systems are able to add an extra security layer for vehicles with remote controls that are factory installed.

The Autowatch Ghost will provide you with an increased level of security on your BMW. It is completely hidden within the wiring making it almost impossible to spot. It does not use any LED indicators or keys-fobs, which can prevent any criminal from noticing its presence.

No Electronics Detected

As a top Thatcham installer, we install a new, revolutionary product manufactured by Autowatch called the Ghost Immobiliser that effectively prevents Keyless Entry theft or cloning that is on the rise in modern automobiles. It is a covert device that does not depend on LED indicators or key fobs. It makes use of the buttons in your car's factory to create a pin code push sequence that is unique to you and which is required before the car can be started or moved. The car won't move or begin to start until the sequence is properly entered. Numerous insurance companies now require this device to be installed as a standard, and it can often result in a reduction of monthly premiums.

It does not require the cutting of any wires to be put in place since it connects to the CAN data bus, and functions through the ECU (Engine Control Unit). The unit isn't able to be identified by sophisticated thieves using diagnostic tools, and they can't detect the click of a conventional security device. The Ghost Immobiliser can also be set up in a service mode so that your vehicle can be driven and started without the need for a PIN which is beneficial when taking it to the garage, or for valet parking services etc. The PIN code can be changed at any time for added security.

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

While it is not a replacement for an alarm system, we always recommend you to combine it with other physical barriers such as crook locks and wheel clamps, and if possible a hidden GPS tracker such as Meta Trak VTS to give you the highest level of protection available. This is crucial, particularly when you've put your keys in the ignition when the vehicle isn't driven. There are a variety of ways to fool the driver into believe that the keys are still inside the car and allow theft to occur.
