Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser

With increasing happiness and pride being poured into our cars, it is only natural to protect them. The Autowatch Ghost system is a discrete immobiliser that is connected to the vehicle CAN data network and operates via the ECU which is your car's 'brain'.

The device, which is similar to a PIN number 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, LED Indications or LEDs to Give Away Its Location

The Ghost Immobiliser is virtually invisible to anyone entering your vehicle because it doesn't use LED indicators or key fobs. The system utilizes buttons like the centre console, door or steering wheel to generate an individual, custom-changeable pin code sequence that must be entered before the car will start. The system can be configured to require up to 20 presses of the buttons before the engine can begin, making it virtually impossible for thieves to clone your keys or hack into your vehicle.

Modern car thieves use professional diagnostic tools in order to determine what security systems are in place on vehicles. The Ghost, however, doesn't send any signals. Criminals can determine the type of security system installed in your car using sophisticated RF scanning technology, code grabbing and relay attack techniques. This will permit them to modify the immobiliser or alarm circuits to disable the system and steal your vehicle.

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

When it is installed by one of our qualified engineers, we offer an TASSA confirmed guarantee to give you peace of mind that your installation is safe and of the highest standards. TASSA is a company which improves and maintains standards in the field of automotive security. They guarantee that all of their approved installers are DBS certified and fully trained and insured for Ghost installation. They will also supply owners manuals, Installation certification and a Ghost emergency card. This will also make your car eligible for a significant reduction in the cost of insurance. This is because your car will be much less likely to be stolen, and it will be much easier for your insurers to recover.

No Circuit Cuts

The Ghost is a CAN bus immobiliser which protects your car better than anything else. It is not linked to LED indicators or key fobs, but instead communicates directly with your vehicle's CAN system. This enables it to block the ECU from starting and stop the engine from running unless an individual PIN is first entered via the vehicles dash or steering wheel buttons (brand dependant). This makes it impossible for criminals to hack the system through relay attacks or any other means.

The system also 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 and without the need to use the pin code or hand over the keys. The system will automatically stop itself when you have returned the vehicle.

This makes the Ghost more secure option for classic, sports or prestige vehicles that require battery isolation while parked for long periods of time. It is also undetectable by modern RF scanning technology and code grabbing, making it very difficult for hackers or thieves to evade.

If you're seeking a complete set of vehicle security that can not only guard against key-cloning, but also track your vehicle in the event that it is stolen, we suggest one of our S7 tracking systems.

They are also experienced and knowledgeable. You'll also receive an emergency card for Watch Ghost, owner manuals and Installation certification.

Please contact us to get an estimate and make a booking if you are interested in having a Ghost installed on your vehicle. It is often a quicker option to book ahead rather than leaving it until the last minute, when we get extremely busy. We'll do our best to get you booked in as soon as possible.

No RF Scanning

Many car thieves employ sophisticated equipment to copy keys and steal vehicles. These systems are readily accessible online and require very little skill to operate. These cloning devices do not employ RF scanning to locate the Ghost immobiliser.

Instead, the system utilizes the buttons inside your car to create a unique pin code push sequence. This is done by using the buttons on your steering wheels doors, door panels or on your centre console. It is also reversible and does not have a PIN number like remote keys, which makes it very difficult to hack.

The Autowatch Ghost is extremely secure and simple to use. It does not require the smartphone and can be used with a small waterproof wireless tag, or the Apple or Android app (sold separately). You can go into service mode with your mobile device and then drive away. Then, you return the car to valet-mode and turn off your smartphone. This is perfect for classic cars and prestige vehicles that are frequently taken in for service at garages owned by dealers.

Brand-dependent brand-specific, these CANBUS immobilisers are compatible with other security devices such as alarms or trackers. This allows the user to decide if they want their tracker or alarm to have priority over immobilisers CAN bus. This is especially useful when 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 that were sent by the remote keys used in the initial setup to the ECUs and BCM controllers. This prevents them from activating the engine or starting the vehicle. These systems are able to provide an additional layer of security for cars with remote controls that are factory installed.

If you are looking for a new level of security for your BMW then the Autowatch Ghost is an ideal solution. It is completely hidden in the wiring making it almost impossible to spot. It doesn't have LED indicators or keys-fobs, which prevents any criminal from not noticing its presence.

No Electronics Detected

As a renowned Thatcham Installer We install the groundbreaking new product called the Ghost immobiliser by Autowatch that stops Keyless Entry theft and cloning which is on the increase in modern vehicles. It is a secret device that does not depend on LED indicators or key fobs. It utilizes the buttons that are factory-installed in your car to generate a pin code push sequence that is unique to you and which is required before the vehicle can start or be moved. The car cannot move or begin to start until this sequence is entered correctly. Many insurance companies are seeking this device to be included as standard equipment and often leads to a decrease in monthly costs.

It does not require the cutting of wires in order to be put in place as it connects up to the CAN data bus and operates via the ECU (Engine Control Unit). The unit isn't able to be detected by thieves using high-tech diagnostic tools, and cannot listen for the click of a traditional security device. The Ghost Immobiliser can also be set up in a service mode so that your vehicle can be driven and started without requiring the PIN code - this is useful when you need to take it to the garage, or for valet parking services etc. The PIN code can be changed to provide additional security at anytime.
