Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser

With more and more pride and joy being poured into our cars, it is only natural to secure them. The Autowatch Ghost system is a discreet immobiliser that connects to the vehicle CAN data network and operates through the ECU, your cars brain..

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

No Key Fobs, LED Indications or LEDs to indicate its location

The Ghost Immobiliser is virtually invisible to anyone who enters your vehicle as it does not use LED indicators or key fobs. The system makes use of buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console or door to generate a unique pin code that has to be entered in order for your vehicle to start. The system can be programmed to require up to 20 press of the buttons before the engine can begin, making it virtually impossible for thieves to clone your key or hack into your vehicle.

Modern car thieves can use professional diagnostic tools to identify which security systems are fitted to vehicles, however the Ghost does not transmit any signals like the conventional security systems do. Criminals can determine the kind of security device that is installed in your vehicle using sophisticated scanners for RF, code grabbing and relay attack techniques. They can then disable the security system of your vehicle by tampering with the alarm or immobiliser.
