Ghost Immobiliser Review

Consumers are always seeking ways to stop car theft as it increases. Ghost immobiliser is an innovative device that does just that.

It's the first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser that is protected against key hacking or key cloning and prevents thieves from taking your vehicle.

No Faraday Bags and Radio Signals

Ghost immobilisers, unlike other physical security measures such as steering wheel locks or wheel clamps, are designed to be invisible and concealed. They are integrated into car buttons and offer protection against key copying. Ghost immobilisers prevent the engine from running until you enter a pre-determined PIN code in conjunction with your key fob. The PIN code can be as long as up to 20 presses long, and can be modified by the driver through an app or buttons on the vehicle. If you forget your pin the button is damaged or you decide to sell your vehicle, you can use an emergency PIN code that is unique to each device to reset the system.

Ghost immobilisers also have the benefit of not being detected by devices for diagnostics and do not emit radio frequency signals. This means that thieves can't employ sophisticated scanning technology to identify a security device. They also use the CAN data network that does not require wire cutting after installation and is quieter than other immobilisers.

Ghost immobilisers may not be Thatcham certified, but they are TASSA-approved. Certain insurers will offer lower insurance rates to vehicles that have an aftermarket immobiliser. However, they are recognized as an additional security measure that could deter thieves.

Autowatch Ghost is unlike factory-fitted immobilisers since it is compatible with a variety of vehicles, including motorhomes and vans. It can also be used with electric cars, ride-on lawnmowers, and motorhomes too. This makes it more adaptable than other anti-theft technologies and can be paired up with vehicle trackers to provide the best car security package.

No Key Fobs or LED Indications

In contrast to a wheel lock or other anti-theft devices that are physically installed, the ghost immobiliser is integrated into the wiring of your vehicle, so it cannot be removed or removed or bypassed. Moreover, because it doesn't use keys or LEDs, it is more difficult to locate and hack than a standard factory-installed immobiliser.

The device is connected to your vehicle's CAN (Control Area Network) system and creating the creation of a unique PIN code push sequence you select - which could be up to 20 digits in length - that must be entered before your Range Rover or Land Rover J will begin. This is similar to how you would enter the pin code to secure your credit card. It is not affected by cloning or ECU swapping that would normally disable the factory immobiliser.

It is small and weatherproof, making it almost impossible to spot by thieves. It also communicates with the CAN data bus, and as such it operates silently, again making it difficult to spot. This makes it an excellent addition to your security system and is particularly useful because it can be used with other Autowatch technologies, such as the Ghost Bluetooth tag. The tag lets you start your car without having to enter your PIN number or the Ghost app.

The ghost immobiliser has the benefit of not leaving visible marks in your vehicle. This is a problem with other aftermarket security devices. This is especially appealing to those who want to keep their pride and joy as authentic as they can when it comes time to sell.

Simple PIN Code Change Process

Ghost immobilisers, unlike key fobs that use a code in order to unlock the ECU of your vehicle and start it, communicate with the ECU through the CAN data network. This makes them undetectable by diagnostic tools, inaudible and invulnerable to hack. They can be fitted to a variety of vehicles, including motorhomes and trucks, as well as plant machinery.

Our Autowatch Ghost system has been designed to offer complete protection against theft. It prevents your vehicle from being started without either the unique PIN code or smartphone app that has the Ghost app downloaded. This is an extremely secure level of security that can secure your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and ECU swapping.

It is so safe because it does not require any additional elements like key fobs or LED indicators. The device utilizes the buttons on your door panels and steering wheel instead to create an sequence that can be altered prior to the start of your car. This could be up to 20 actions long and is similar in function to a PIN number on your credit card.

As well as this the device is hidden and will not reveal the location of the device to thieves. It also doesn't use radio waves and works on the CAN network, which makes it virtually invisible to thieves who employ scanners with RF.

Many car thieves try to remove the chip from the CAN or replace it with the ECU to avoid detection. But, this method is only attainable by experts who have access to the right tools. This is why the ghost immobiliser is efficient and can be used to protect your pride and joy against many different kinds of vehicle thefts.

It can also be paired to an iPhone and you will require if you want to start your car once it is parked at work or home. The app will recognize the phone and allow you to drive with no needing a PIN code. This feature is available on any model of Autowatch Ghost, and you can pair as many smartphones with it as you'd like.

The Ghost is a hidden device that is hidden within the wiring harness that is behind your dashboard. The unit connects to the data network in the CAN of your vehicle and communicates with engine control units that make it impossible to start your car if you do not follow the correct sequence.

The Ghost Immobiliser uses the buttons on your car's original key fob to generate a secret disarm sequence (like a PIN code) which must be entered before the engine can start. The driver is able to alter the sequence at anytime. It can be comprised of up to 20 actions. This is a safer method of security than using a key fob, because no one else will be able drive your car. This prevents thieves from 'hacking the system' to gain access to the key code or other information transmitted to the ECU of the vehicle from it.
