Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser

It is only logical to ensure the safety of our vehicles since they are a source of pride and happiness. The Autowatch Ghost is a subtle vehicle immobiliser that connects to your vehicle's CAN data network. It works through the ECU (your cars brain).

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

There are no key fobs or LED indicators to indicate its location.

The Ghost Immobiliser does not use key fobs or LED indicators so it is almost undetectable to anyone who enters your vehicle. The system makes use of buttons that are already in use, such as the centre console, door or steering wheel to create an individual, custom-changeable pin code sequence that has to be entered before your vehicle starts. The system can be programmed to require up 20 presses before the engine will turn on which makes it virtually impossible for thieves or cloners to hack into your car.

Modern Car Stolen With Ghost Immobiliser thieves utilize professional diagnostic tools to determine what security systems are fitted on vehicles. The Ghost, however, doesn't send any signals. Using sophisticated RF scanning, code grabbing technology and relay attack techniques, criminals can detect the kind of security system is in your vehicle. This will permit them to tamper with the immobiliser or alarm circuits to disable the system and escape with your vehicle.

The Ghost is unique from other immobilisers that are available on the market because it is directly integrated into the CAN data network of your vehicle or van and is nearly impossible to break. The system is compatible with newer models that do not have key fob security. It can also be utilized in electric vehicles and can prevent the vehicle from entering an "service valet" mode.

When it is installed by one of our certified engineers, we provide a TASSA certified guarantee that gives you peace of mind that the installation is secure and of the highest quality. TASSA is an organisation that is responsible for maintaining and improving standards in the security of vehicles industry. It also ensures that all their certified installers have passed DBS checks and are fully trained, insured and certified to install the Ghost. They will also provide you with your owner guides, installation certifications and an emergency card for Ghost. This will also make your car eligible for a significant reduction in the cost of your insurance. 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 an immobiliser for the CAN bus that will protect your vehicle more than any other. It's not linked 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 specific PIN is entered on the dash or steering wheel buttons (brand dependent). This means it is impossible for hackers to hack into the system using relay attacks or any other means and can't simply be disabled with several buttons as in older systems.

The system has 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 working, without the need to enter the pin code or hand over keys. The system will automatically disable itself once you have returned the vehicle.

The Ghost is a more secure option for classic, sports or prestige automobiles that must be kept away from the battery when parked for long periods. It is also undetectable by the latest RF scanning technology and code grabbing, making it difficult for hackers or thieves to bypass.

No RF Scanning

Many car thieves are using sophisticated equipment to clone car keys and steal cars. These systems can be easily located on the internet and require only a few basic skills to operate. These cloning devices don't employ RF scanning to locate the Ghost immobiliser.

Instead, the system utilizes the buttons in your car to create a unique pin code push sequence. This is done using the existing buttons on your steering wheel and door panels as well as the centre console. It is also reversible and is not a PIN number like remote keys, which makes it extremely difficult to hack.

The Autowatch Ghost is extremely secure and easy to use. It doesn't require the use of a smartphone, but it can be used with a small waterproof tag or an Apple or Android App (sold separately). You can switch to service mode using your mobile device and then drive away. Then, you return the car to valet mode and disable your mobile. This is ideal for classic cars and prestige vehicles which are often taken in for maintenance at dealer garages.

Brand-dependent These CANBUS immobilisers are compatible with other external security devices, such as alarms or trackers. This allows the user to decide if they want their alarm or tracker to be the first priority over CAN bus immobilisers. This is especially useful in the event that you have a certified Thatcham Tracker, since the tracker will be armed before Ghost is activated.

The CANBUS immobilisers block the codes that were sent by the remote keys used in the initial setup to the ECUs and BCM controllers. This prevents them from activating the engine or even starting the car. These systems can also be used to provide an extra layer of security to cars that have factory remote controls (Brand dependent) and provide additional security for electric vehicles and cars with keyless entry.

The Autowatch ghost 2 immobiliser review will provide you with a higher level of security on your BMW. It is nearly impossible to spot because it is hidden in the wiring.

It blocks Keyless Entry theft or cloning that is on the rise in modern vehicles. It is a secret device that does not rely on LED indicators or key fobs. It uses the factory buttons on your car to create a pin-code push sequence that is unique to you and which is required before your vehicle can start or be moved. The car will not move or start until this sequence is properly entered. Many insurance companies are asking for this device to be installed as standard, and can lead to a reduction in monthly cost.

It does not require the cutting of wires to be put in place because it is connected to the CAN data bus, and functions through the ECU (Engine Control Unit). The device isn't detected by thieves using high-tech diagnostic tools, and they can't detect the click of a conventional security device. Ghost Immobilisers can be set to a service mode, which allows your vehicle to be started without the PIN code. This is beneficial for transporting it to garages or a valet parking service. The PIN code can be changed to provide additional security at anytime.
