Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser

It is only natural to protect our vehicles, because they are an expression of joy and pride. The Autowatch Ghost system is a discrete immobiliser that is connected to the vehicle CAN data network. It operates through the ECU, your cars brain..

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

No Key Fobs, LED Indications or LEDs to Give Away Its Location

The Ghost Immobiliser is virtually invisible to anyone who enters your vehicle since it does not use LED indicators or key fobs. The system makes use of buttons that are already in use, such as the centre console and door buttons as well as the steering wheel to generate an unique, programmable pin code sequence that must be entered before the car will start. The system can be set to require as many as 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 employ professional diagnostic tools in order to determine which security systems are fitted on vehicles. The Ghost however, doesn't send any signals. Utilizing sophisticated RF scanning, code-grabbing technology and relay attack methods criminals can identify what type of security equipment is fitted to your vehicle. This will allow them to alter the alarm or immobiliser circuits to disable your system and steal your vehicle.

The Ghost is different from other immobilisers that are available on the market because it is integrated directly into the CAN data network of your van or car which makes it virtually impossible to break. The system also works with many newer car's that don't have built in keyfob security. It can also be used on electric vehicles in the majority of cases and will even stop the car from entering "service valet mode".

If it is installed by one of our certified engineers, we provide an TASSA confirmed guarantee to give you the peace of mind the installation is secure and of the highest standards.

No Circuit Cuts

The Ghost is an immobiliser CAN bus that safeguards your car more than anything else. It is not linked to LED indicators or key fobs but instead communicates directly with your vehicle's CAN system. This allows it to stop the ECU from starting and stop the engine running unless the PIN is first entered via the dash or steering wheel buttons (brand dependant). This means that it is impossible for criminals to hack' into the system by using relay attacks or any other means and can't simply be disabled with the buttons a few times as in older systems.

The system comes with an 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 use the pin code or hand over keys. It will then disable itself once you return the vehicle.

The Ghost is a more secure choice for classic, sports or prestige automobiles that must be isolated from the battery while parked for extended periods of time. It is also undetectable by modern RF scanning technology and code grabbing, making it extremely difficult for thieves or hackers to bypass.

No RF Scanning

Many car thieves use sophisticated equipment to clone keys and steal vehicles. These systems can be easily located on the internet and require only a few basic skills to operate. These cloning systems do not employ RF scanning to locate the Ghost immobiliser.

Instead the system uses the buttons on your car to create a unique pin code push sequence. This is done via the buttons that are already on your steering wheel or door panels, or on your centre 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 is extremely secure and simple to use. It isn't dependent on a smartphone and can be used with a small waterproof wireless tag, or the Apple or Android app (sold separately). Simply enter service mode on your mobile device, leave the car and then return your car to valet mode & disable your phone. This is ideal for classic cars and prestige vehicles that are frequently taken in for maintenance at garages owned by dealers.

Brand-dependent, these CANBUS immobilisers are compatible with other external security devices, such as alarms or trackers. This allows users to choose whether to prioritize their alarm or tracker over the immobilisers on the CAN bus. This is particularly useful in the event you have a Thatcham approved Tracker, as the tracker can be activated prior to the ghost immobiliser reviews is activated.

The CANBUS immobilisers use the cars CAN data bus to stop the codes that are expected to be transmitted to the ECU and BCM controllers via the original remote keys, this stops them from starting the car or triggering the engine. These systems can also be used to provide an additional layer of security for vehicles with remote controls that are factory installed (Brand dependent) and offer additional security for electric vehicles and cars with keyless entry.

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser installer will provide you with an increased level of security for your BMW. It is completely hidden inside the wiring, making it nearly impossible to see. It does not use any LED indicators or keys-fobs which can prevent the criminal from being able to detect its presence.

No Electronics to Detected

As a reputable Thatcham installer we install a revolutionary new product manufactured 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 doesn't use LED indicators or key fobs. It utilizes the factory buttons inside your car how to fit a ghost immobiliser - visit the up coming article - generate an individual pin code sequence that you can push. This is needed to start or move the vehicle. If this sequence is not properly entered, the car will not start or move at all. Many insurance companies are seeking this device to be installed as standard, and it can often lead to a reduction in monthly cost.

It is not necessary to cut any wires to connect it, as it connects to the CAN bus, and functions through the ECU. The unit isn't able to be identified by sophisticated thieves using diagnostic tools, and they can't detect the sound of a traditional security device. Ghost Immobilisers can be set to a service mode, which allows your vehicle to start without the PIN code. This is helpful when taking it to a garage or valet parking service. The PIN code can be changed for additional security at any time.

The Ghost II is TASSA approved which means it's only available from fully certified installers. This offers a higher level of security and also ensures that the Engineer who installs it is thoroughly DBS certified as well as trained and insured.

Although not a replacement for an alarm system we always recommend you to combine it with other physical barriers like crook locks and wheel clamps as well as, if possible, a hidden GPS tracker like Meta Trak VTS to give you the highest level of security available. This is important, especially when you've left your keys in the ignition even though the vehicle isn't driven. There are a myriad of ways to fool the driver into believe that the keys are in the car, allowing theft to occur.
