Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser

It only makes sense to protect our vehicles, as they are a source of joy and pride. The Autowatch Ghost system is a subtle immobiliser that connects to the vehicle CAN data network. It operates via the ECU which is your car's 'brain'.

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

No Key Fobs or LED Indications 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 utilizes buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console, or door to generate an unique pin code that has to be entered to allow your vehicle to start. The system can be configured to require as many as 20 presses before the engine will turn on, making it nearly impossible for criminals or cloners to hack into your car.

Modern car thieves employ professional diagnostic tools in order to determine which security systems are fitted on vehicles. The Ghost however, does not send any signals. With the help of sophisticated RF scanning code grabbing technology and relay attack techniques, criminals can identify what kind of security system is in your vehicle. They can then disable your vehicle's security system by altering the alarm or immobiliser.

The Ghost is unique from other immobilisers available on the market since it is directly integrated into the CAN data network of your car or van, making it nearly impossible to break. The system is compatible with the latest models that do not have keyfob security. It can also be utilized in electric vehicles and can prevent the car from entering a "service valet" mode.

If the Ghost is installed by our fully trained engineers, TASSA will verify the installation to make sure it is safe and up to standard.

No Circuit Cuts

The Ghost is an immobiliser for the CAN bus that protects your car better than any other. It's not connected to LED indicators or key fobs, however, it communicates directly with the vehicle's CAN system. It can then block the ECU and prevent the engine from running until a unique PIN is entered on the steering wheel or dash buttons (brand dependent). This makes it impossible for thieves to 'hack' into the system by using relay attacks or any other means and cannot be disabled by pressing a few button presses as with some older systems.

The system comes with a Service & Valet mode that is activated while the vehicle is in garage for servicing, or valet parking. The vehicle can be started temporarily while being worked on without having to enter the pin code or hand over the keys. It will then shut down once you return the vehicle.

This makes the Ghost a much more secure solution for classic, sports or high-end automobiles that require battery isolation when parked for long periods of time. It is also unnoticeable by the latest RF scanning technology and code grabbing, making it very difficult for thieves or hackers to bypass.

No RF Scanning

Many car thieves use sophisticated tools to copy keys and steal vehicles. These devices are readily accessible on the internet and require very little skill to operate. These cloning devices don't use RF scanning to detect the Ghost immobiliser.

Instead the system uses the buttons in your car to create an individual pin code push sequence. This is done by using the buttons on your steering wheel, door panels, or centre console. This is also changeable and is not a PIN number like the remote key fob, which makes it extremely difficult to hack.

This makes the Autowatch Ghost very secure and incredibly hassle free to use. It doesn't require a smartphone, but can be utilized with a small waterproof tag or an Apple or Android App (sold separately). You can enter service mode with your mobile device and drive away. Then you return the car to valet mode and disable your smartphone. This is ideal for classic cars and prestige vehicles that are usually maintained by garages owned by dealers.

Brand-dependent, 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 tracker or alarm over the CAN bus imobilisers. This is particularly useful in the event you have a Thatcham approved Tracker, as 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 transmitted to the ECU and BCM controllers using the remote keys that came with it which prevents them from starting the car or triggering the engine. These systems can be used to provide an additional layer of security for cars that have remote controls from the factory.
