Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser

It is only natural to protect our vehicles, as they are a source of pride and joy. The Autowatch Ghost is a subtle vehicle immobiliser which connects to your vehicles CAN data network. It is controlled by the ECU (your car's brain).

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

No key fobs or LED indicators to give away its location

The Ghost Immobiliser is virtually invisible to anyone who comes into your vehicle as it does not utilize LED indicators or key fobs. The system makes use of existing buttons such as the centre console, door or steering wheel to generate an individual, custom-changeable pin code sequence that must be entered before your car will start. The system can be programmed to require up 20 press before the engine can begin to turn on, making it nearly impossible for criminals or cloners to hack into your car.

Modern car thieves use professional diagnostic tools to identify which security systems are in vehicles, but the ghost 2 immobiliser near me does not transmit any signals like conventional security systems do. Using sophisticated RF scanning, code-grabbing technology, and relay attack techniques, criminals can identify what kind of security system is installed in your vehicle. This allows them to modify the immobiliser or alarm circuits to disable your system and escape with your vehicle.

Unlike other immobilisers on the market, the Ghost is integrated into your vehicle's CAN data network, which means it is near impossible to hack and bypass. The system is compatible with the latest models that do not have keyfob security. It is also used in electric cars, and it can even prevent the vehicle from going into a "service valet" mode.

If it is installed by one of our fully certified engineers, we provide the TASSA certified guarantee that gives you peace of mind that your installation is safe and of the highest standards.

This will also make your car qualified for a substantial reduction in the cost of insurance. This is because your car will be less likely to be taken away and your insurers will have a better recovery process.

No Circuit Cuts

The Ghost is an immobiliser CAN bus that protects your car better than any other. It's not linked to LED indicators or key fobs but instead communicates directly with your vehicle's CAN system. This allows it to prevent the ECU from starting and stops the engine from running unless a unique PIN is entered through the dash of the vehicle or via the steering wheel buttons (brand dependent). This makes it difficult for thieves to alter the system using relay attacks, or any other method.

The system has the Service and Valet mode that is activated while the vehicle is in a garage for servicing, or valet parking. The vehicle can be started for a short period while it is being repaired, without the need to use the pin code or hand over the keys. It will then automatically disable itself once you return the vehicle.

The ghost immobiliser tracker, forum.insnetz.com, is a safer alternative for classic, sports and prestige vehicles that require to be isolated from the battery when parked for extended periods of time. It is also unnoticed by modern scans using RF and code-grabbing technology, making it extremely difficult for thieves to bypass or hack.

No RF Scanning

Many thieves use sophisticated tools to copy vehicle keys and steal vehicles. These systems can be easily found on the internet, and require only a few basic skills to operate. These cloning devices do not use RF scanning to detect the Ghost immobiliser.

Instead, the system uses the buttons inside your car to create an unique pin code push sequence. This is done by using the buttons on your steering wheel doors, door panels or centre console. This is also changeable and not a pin number like remote keys, which makes it very difficult to hack.

This makes the Autowatch Ghost very secure and extremely simple to use. It does not 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 using your mobile device, drive away and then return the vehicle to valet mode & disable your phone. This is a great option for classic cars as well as prestige cars that are often serviced by dealer garages.

Brand-dependent brand-specific, these CANBUS immobilisers are compatible with other external security devices such as alarms or trackers. This allows the user the option to decide whether they want to prioritise their alarm or tracker over the CAN bus imobilisers. This is particularly useful if you have a Thatcham-approved Tracker, since the tracker will be activated prior to the time Ghost is activated.

The CANBUS immobilisers utilize the cars CAN data bus to stop the codes that are expected to be transmitted to the ECU and BCM controllers by the remote keys that came with it which prevents them from beginning the car or turning on the engine. These systems are able to add an extra security layer for vehicles with remote controls from the factory.

If you're looking to add the latest level of security for your BMW then the Autowatch Ghost is an ideal solution. It is completely hidden within the wiring, making it nearly impossible to detect. It doesn't rely on any LED indicators or key-fobs which helps in avoiding the possibility of a criminal seeing its presence inside your car.

No Electronics Detected

As a renowned Thatcham Installer We install the groundbreaking new product, the Ghost immobiliser from Autowatch which prevents Keyless Entry theft and cloning which is on the rise in modern vehicles. It is a covert system that does not rely on LED indicators or key fobs. It makes use of the buttons in your car's factory to create a pin-code push sequence that is unique to you and is required before your vehicle can be started or moved. Unless this sequence is properly entered, the car will not begin or move at all. A lot of insurance companies require this device to be installed as standard, and it can often result in a reduction of monthly costs.

It doesn't require cutting of any wires to be put in place since it connects to the CAN data bus, and functions via the ECU (Engine Control Unit). The unit cannot be detected by diagnostic tools that hi-tech thieves use and there is no way to detect the distinctive click of a traditional relay, as they would in a conventional security device. The Ghost Immobiliser may also be set up in a service mode so that your vehicle can be driven and started without the need for a PIN which is beneficial when you need to take it to the garage or for valet parking services etc. The PIN code can be altered at any time for additional security.

The Ghost II is TASSA approved which means that it is only available from fully accredited installers. This offers a high-level of protection and also ensures that the Engineer who installs it is DBS checked and insured. They are also trained and certified.

While it's not a substitute for an alarm system, we always recommend that you combine it with other physical barriers like crook locks and wheel clamps, and if possible a hidden GPS tracker such as Meta Trak VTS to provide the highest level of protection available. This is especially important if you have left your keys in the ignition while the vehicle isn't driven. There are many ways to fool the driver into believe that keys are in the car, allowing theft to occur.
