Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser

With increasing happiness and pride being put into our vehicles, it only makes sense to protect them. The Autowatch Ghost is a subtle vehicle immobiliser which connects to your vehicle's CAN data network. It is controlled by the ECU (your car's brain).

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

No Key Fobs or LED Indications to indicate its location

The Ghost Immobiliser does not use key fobs or LED indicators so it is virtually undetectable by anyone who gets into your vehicle. The system makes use of existing buttons such as the centre console, door or steering wheel to generate a unique, changeable pin code sequence that needs to be entered before your car will start. The system can be programmed to require as many as 20 presses before the engine can turn on making it nearly impossible for thieves or cloners to hack into your car.

Modern car thieves utilize professional diagnostic tools in order to determine which security systems are in place on vehicles. The Ghost however, does not send any signals. Criminals can identify the type of security equipment that is installed in your vehicle using sophisticated RF scanning technology such as code grabbing, relay and attack methods. This will permit them to alter the immobiliser or alarm circuits to disable your system and steal your vehicle.
