Ghost Immobiliser Review

As car theft increases and the number of car theft victims increases, people are always looking for ways to prevent it. The ghost immobiliser is an innovative device that does just that.

It's the first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser that protects against key cloning or hacking and stops thieves from stealing your vehicle.

No Faraday Bags and Radio Signals

Ghost immobilisers, unlike other physical anti-theft measures like wheel locks or steering wheel clamps are designed to be undetectable and covert. Incorporated into the vehicle's buttons they protect against key hacking, cloning and ECU swapping and even key theft. Ghost immobilisers stop the engine from starting until you enter a chosen PIN code sequence alongside your key fob. This code can be up to 20 presses long, and is changed by the driver using an app or on the buttons of the vehicle. If you lose your pin, a button breaks or you sell your vehicle there's an emergency pin code unique to every device that can be used to reset the system.

Additionally, ghost immobilisers are undetectable by diagnostic tools and don't emit any radio frequency signals, which means that thieves can't use sophisticated RF scanning technology to detect the presence of security devices. They also utilize the CAN data network which does not require cutting wires upon installation and is quieter than other immobilisers.

Ghost immobilisers might not be Thatcham approved, but they are TASSA-approved. Some insurers will offer lower rates for insurance to vehicles that have an aftermarket immobiliser. However, they are accepted as an additional layer of security that can deter thieves.

Autowatch Ghost is unlike factory-fitted immobilisers as it is compatible with a range of vehicles that include vans and motorhomes. It can also be used with electric cars, ride-on lawnmowers, and motorhomes too. This makes it more flexible than other anti-theft devices and it can be used in conjunction with vehicle trackers for the best car security package.
