Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser

With ever increasing joy and happiness being put into our vehicles, it only makes sense to protect them. The Autowatch Ghost system is a subtle immobiliser that connects to your vehicle CAN data network and functions through the ECU which is your car's brain..

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

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

The Ghost Immobiliser does not use key fobs or LED indicators, so it is virtually undetectable by anyone who enters your vehicle. 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 a unique, changeable pin code sequence that needs to be entered before your car will start. The system can be set to require up to 20 presses of the buttons before the engine will start making it virtually impossible for thieves to duplicate your keys or hack into your vehicle.

Modern car thieves use professional diagnostic tools to determine which security systems are fitted on vehicles. The Ghost, however, does not transmit any signals. Criminals can identify the type of security system that is installed in your vehicle using sophisticated scanners for RF as well as code-grabbing and relay attack methods. This will allow them to modify the alarm or immobiliser circuits to disable your security system and escape with your vehicle.

The Ghost is unlike other immobilisers available on the market since it is integrated directly into the CAN data network of your car or van which makes it virtually impossible to bypass. The system also works with many newer car's that do not have integrated key fob security. It is also used in electric cars and it is able to stop the car from entering the "service valet" mode.

If the Ghost is installed by our fully trained engineers, TASSA will verify the installation to ensure that it is secure and in compliance with the standards. TASSA is a group that improves and maintains standards in the security industry for automobiles. They ensure that all their approved installers are DBS certified and fully trained, insured and certified for Ghost installation. You will also receive your Ghost emergency card, installation certificate and owner's manuals. Your insurance premiums will be drastically reduced. This is because your car will be much less likely to be stolen and it will be much simpler for your insurers to recuperate.

No Circuit Cuts

The Ghost is the original aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that protects your vehicle in a way that is unlike anything else available. Unlike other aftermarket car security devices, this one isn't connected to key fobs or LED indicators and communicates directly with the vehicle's CAN system. It then blocks the ECU and prevent the engine from running until a unique PIN has been entered into the dash or steering wheel buttons (brand dependent). This means it is impossible for thieves to 'hack' into the system by using relay attacks or any other means and cannot be disabled with the buttons a few times as with some older systems.

The system is equipped with the 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 it is being repaired without having to enter the pin code or hand over keys. The system will automatically shut down once you have returned the vehicle.

The Ghost is a safer choice for classic, sports or prestige automobiles that must be isolated from the battery when they are parked for long periods. It is also undetectable by modern technologies for RF scanning and code grabbing, making it difficult for hackers or thieves to bypass.

No Scanning with RF

Many thieves use sophisticated equipment to clone vehicle keys and steal cars. These systems can be easily found on the internet, and require no knowledge to operate. These cloning devices do not use RF scanning to detect the Ghost immobiliser.

Instead, the system utilizes the buttons inside your car to create an unique pin code push sequence. This is done using the buttons that are already on your steering wheel, door panels or central console. It is also a reversible number and not a PIN like a remote fob which makes it extremely difficult to hack.

The Autowatch ghost 2 immobiliser problems is extremely secure and simple to use. It doesn't require an iPhone, but can be utilized with a small waterproof tag or an Apple or Android App (sold separately). You can simply switch into service mode on your mobile device, drive away and then return the car to valet mode and disable your phone. This is ideal for classic cars as well as prestige automobiles that are frequently brought in for service at garages owned by dealers.

These CANBUS immobilisers can be linked to other security devices such as alarms and trackers (Brand dependant). This allows the user the option to decide whether they want to put their alarm or tracker over the CAN bus imobilisers. This is particularly helpful in the event that you have a Thatcham approved Tracker, since the tracker can be armed before the Ghost is activated.

The CANBUS immobilisers use the cars CAN data bus to block the codes that would be sent to the ECU and BCM controllers using the remote keys that came with it which prevents them from starting the car or activating the engine. These systems can be used to provide an additional layer of security for cars with remote controls from the factory.

The Autowatch ghost 2 immobiliser installation (www.keeha.co.kr) will provide you with a higher level of security for your BMW. It is virtually impossible to notice because it is concealed in the wiring. It does not use any LED indicators or keys-fobs which can prevent a criminal from not noticing its presence.

There are no electronic devices to be Detected

As a reputable Thatcham installer, we install a revolutionary new product from Autowatch called the Ghost Immobiliser. It effectively blocks Keyless Entry theft or cloning that is on the rise in modern automobiles. It is a hidden device that doesn't depend on LED indicators or key fobs. It uses the factory buttons inside your car to create an individual pin code sequence that you can push. This is required to start or move the car. The car cannot move or start unless the sequence is properly entered. Many insurance companies now require this device to be installed by default, and it can often result in a reduction in monthly costs.

It doesn't require cutting of wires in order to be put in place since it connects to the CAN data bus, and functions through the ECU (Engine Control Unit). The device is not able to be detected by diagnostic tools that hi-tech thieves use, and there isn't a way to detect the distinctive clicking sound of a traditional relay like on a more conventional security device. Ghost Immobilisers are able to be set to a service mode, which allows your vehicle to start without the PIN code. This is useful for transporting it to garages or a valet parking service. The PIN code can be changed to provide additional security at any time.

The Ghost II is TASSA approved which means it is only available through fully certified installers. This provides a high level of security. It also means that the Engineer who installs it is thoroughly DBS checked as well as trained and insured.

While it is not a replacement for an alarm system we always recommend you to combine it with other physical barriers like wheel clamps and crook locks and, if you can, a hidden GPS tracker like Meta Trak VTS to provide the highest level of protection available. This is particularly crucial if you leave your keys in the ignition even when it isn't being driven because there are many ways to trick the driver into thinking that they are still in the vehicle and allow a theft to occur.
