Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser

With increasing happiness and pride being poured into our cars, it is only natural to safeguard them. The Autowatch Ghost system is a subtle immobiliser that connects to your vehicle CAN data network. It operates through the ECU the car's brain..

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

No key fobs or LED indicators to give away its location

The Ghost immobiliser ghost is virtually invisible to anyone who comes into your vehicle because it doesn't use LED indicators or key fobs. The system makes use of buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console, or door to generate an unique pin code that needs to be entered to allow your vehicle to start. The system can be set to require as many as 20 press before the engine can begin to turn on which makes it virtually impossible for thieves or cloners to gain access into your vehicle.

Modern car thieves employ professional diagnostic tools to determine which security systems are fitted on vehicles. The Ghost, however, does not transmit any signals. Criminals can identify the kind of security device that is installed in your vehicle using sophisticated RF scanning technology as well as code-grabbing and relay attack techniques. This will permit them to alter the alarm or immobiliser circuits to disable your system and escape with your vehicle.

Contrary to other immobilisers available on the market It is unique in that the Ghost is integrated in your vehicle's CAN data network, so it is virtually impossible to hack and bypass. The system is compatible with newer vehicles that don't have key fob security. It can also be utilized in electric vehicles, and it can even prevent the vehicle from going into the "service valet" mode.

If the Ghost is installed by our fully trained engineers, TASSA will verify the installation to ensure it is secure and in compliance with the standards.

No Circuit Cuts

The Ghost is a CAN bus immobiliser which protects your car better than anything else. It's not linked to LED indicators or key fobs, but instead communicates directly with your vehicle's CAN system. It will then block the ECU and prevent the engine from running until a unique PIN has been entered via the vehicle's dash or steering-wheel buttons (brand dependent). This makes it impossible for criminals to hack' into the system by using relay attacks or any other means and can't simply be disabled by the buttons a few times like with older systems.

The system has the Service and Valet mode that is activated while the vehicle is in garage for servicing or valet parking. This allows the vehicle to begin while it is being repaired without having to hand over the keys or the pin code. It then automatically disables again once the vehicle is back in your possession.

This makes the Ghost a much safer option for classic, sports or luxury cars that require battery isolation while parked for long periods of time. It is also undetected by modern scanners for RF and code grabbing technology, making it extremely difficult for thieves to steal or hack.

Instead the system uses the buttons in your car to create an unique pin code push sequence. This is done by using the buttons on your steering wheel or door panels, or the centre console. This is also changeable and is not a PIN number like the remote key fob, 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 application (sold separately). You can simply switch into service mode on your mobile device, leave the car and then return the car to valet mode and disable your phone. This is perfect for classic cars and prestige vehicles that are frequently taken to dealer garages.

Brand-dependent These CANBUS immobilisers work with other security devices such as alarms or trackers. This gives the user the option to decide if they wish to prioritise their tracker or alarm over the CAN bus imobilisers. This is especially useful in the event you have a Thatcham approved Tracker installed as the tracker is able to be activated before the Ghost is activated.

The CANBUS immobilisers block codes that were sent by the remote keys that were originally used to the ECUs and BCM controllers. This stops them from activating the engine and/or starting the car. These systems can be used to add an extra layer of security for cars with remote controls that are factory installed.
