Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser

With ever increasing joy and happiness being poured into our vehicles it is only natural to secure them. The Autowatch Ghost system is a discrete immobiliser that is connected to the vehicle CAN data network and operates via the ECU the car's brain..

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

No Key Fobs or LED Indications to identify its location

The Ghost Immobiliser is virtually invisible to anyone who comes into your vehicle since it doesn't use LED indicators or key fobs. The system makes use of existing buttons such as the centre console or the steering wheel to generate a unique, changeable pin code sequence that must be entered before your car will start. The system can be set to require up 20 presses before the engine can start making it nearly impossible for thieves or cloners to hack into your car.

Modern car thieves can use professional diagnostic tools to determine which security systems are in vehicles, but the Ghost does not transmit signals like the conventional security systems do. With the help of sophisticated RF scanning code-grabbing technology, and relay attack techniques, criminals can determine the kind of security equipment is installed in your vehicle. This allows them to tamper with the immobiliser or alarm circuits to disable the system and steal your vehicle.

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

If the Ghost is installed by our fully trained engineers, TASSA will verify the installation to make sure it is secure and up to standards. TASSA is an organization that is responsible for maintaining and improving standards in the automotive security industry. They ensure that all their certified installers have passed DBS tests and are trained, insured and certified to install the Ghost. They also provide you with your owner manuals, Installation certification and an emergency card for Ghost. This will also make your car eligible for a significant reduction in the cost of insurance. This is because your car is less likely to be stolen, and it will be much easier for your insurers to recuperate.

No Circuit Cuts

The Ghost is an immobiliser for the CAN bus that will protect your vehicle more than any other. In contrast to other aftermarket car security devices it isn't linked to key fobs or LEDs and communicates directly with the vehicles 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 criminals to hack the system by using relay attacks, or any other method.

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 for a short period while being worked on, without the need to enter the pin code or hand over keys. It will then automatically stop itself when you have returned the vehicle.

The Ghost is a more secure option for classic, sports and luxury cars that need to be kept away from the battery when they are parked for long periods. It is also undetected by modern RF scanning and code grabbing technology, making it extremely difficult for thieves to steal or hack.

If you're looking for a complete vehicle security package that not only protects against key-cloning and hacking but can also track your vehicle in the event of theft, we recommend one of our S7 tracker systems, which integrate seamlessly with Ghost to give you total peace of mind. All of our installations are performed by a fully certified, experienced and insured TASSA approved installer and you will receive detailed demonstrations of the product prior to handover with owner manuals, Installation certification and an emergency card for Ghost.

Contact us for an estimate and make a booking for having a Ghost installed on your vehicle. It's often a faster option to book ahead rather than leaving it until the last minute when we're extremely busy. We'll always aim to book you in as soon as possible.

No RF Scanning

Many thieves use sophisticated equipment to clone vehicle keys and steal vehicles. These systems are easily accessible online and require no skill to operate. The Ghost 11 Immobiliser (Shinhwaspodium.com) immobiliser is undetectable using these devices since it doesn't depend on RF scanning.

The system instead uses buttons on your car to create an unique pin code push. This is accomplished by using the buttons on your steering wheel or door panels, or centre console. This is also changeable and is not a PIN number like remote keys, which makes it extremely difficult to hack.

This makes the Autowatch ghost immobiliser tracker very secure and extremely easy to use. It is not dependent on the smartphone and can be used with a small waterproof wireless tag or the Apple or Android application (sold separately). You simply enter into service mode on your mobile device, leave the car and then return the car to valet mode & disable your phone. This is a great option for classic cars as well as prestige vehicles that are usually serviced at garages owned by dealers.

Brand-dependent brand-specific, these CANBUS immobilisers can be used with other external security devices such as alarms or trackers. This lets the user decide if they want their alarm or tracker to have priority over immobilisers on CAN bus. This is especially useful when you have a Thatcham approved Tracker, as the tracker can be activated prior to the Ghost is activated.

The CANBUS immobilisers use the cars CAN data bus to block the codes that could be sent to the ECU and BCM controllers via the original remote keys This stops them from starting the car or activating the engine. These systems can be used to provide an additional layer of security for cars with remote controls from the factory.

The Autowatch Ghost will provide you with greater security on your BMW. It is nearly impossible to spot because it is hidden in the wiring. It doesn't rely on any key-fobs or LED indicators which can also prevent any criminals from noticing its presence inside your car.

No Electronics to Detected

As a top Thatcham installer we install a revolutionary new product by Autowatch called the Ghost Immobiliser that effectively prevents Keyless Entry theft or cloning that is increasing in modern vehicles. It is a covert system that does not use LED indications or key fobs. It uses the factory buttons on your car to create a pin-code push sequence that is unique to you and is required before the car is able to start or move. The car cannot move or begin to start until the sequence is entered correctly. Many insurance companies now require this device to be installed as a standard and can result in a reduction in monthly costs.

It doesn't require the cutting of wires to be put in place as it connects up to the CAN data bus, and functions via the ECU (Engine Control Unit). The device is not able to be detected with the diagnostic tools that high-tech thieves use, and there isn't a way to detect the distinctive clicking sound of a traditional relay like in a conventional security device. Ghost Immobilisers can be configured to operate in a service mode which allows your vehicle to be started without the PIN code. This is beneficial for transporting it to garages or a valet parking service. The PIN code may be changed at any time for additional security.

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

Meta Trak VTS is an GPS tracker that can be hidden within your vehicle. This will provide you with the most secure level of protection. This is especially important when you've put your keys in the ignition when the vehicle isn't being driven. There are many ways to make the driver believe that the keys are still inside the car, and thereby allow theft to take place.
