Get a Ghost Immobiliser Fitted to Protect Your Vehicle

The Autowatch Ghost, a new generation car immobiliser that guards against key (and keys that do not have a key) thefts, clonings, and hacking of relays. It is a discreet device that is connected to your vehicle's data network CAN and operates quietly.

It operates by needing the use of a PIN code sequence comprised of buttons on the steering wheel or on the centre console to operate it. It can be activated in service mode, letting the vehicle start temporarily in the event of a need.

No Radio Signals

If you're looking to secure your vehicle from hacking, key cloning and key theft, then getting a ghost immobiliser fitted is a great method of doing it. The system is concealed inside the vehicle, it operates silently and does not utilize radio signals to communicate with the car. This makes it difficult for thieves to spot using radar scanners as they cannot see or hear it.

The device also stops the cloning of your vehicle's keyfob by stopping it from communicating with your car's on-board CAN data network. Organised car thieves often employ sophisticated code-grabbing and RF scanning technology to snoop and disable security systems in automobiles. Ghost immobilisers, however, are undetectable to such thieves as they don't emit any RF signals and are integrated into the vehicle's CAN data network, which means that there are no circuit cuts during installation and fitting, making them totally undetectable.
