Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser

With increasing pride and joy being poured into our cars, it is only natural to secure them. The Autowatch Ghost system is a discreet immobiliser that connects to the vehicle CAN data network and operates via the ECU which is your car's 'brain'.

The device is similar to a pin code on a credit card, does not permit your car to move until you enter the pin code in a sequence of up to 20 presses.

No Key Fobs or LED Indicators to Give Away 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 must be entered before your vehicle will start. The system can be set to require up to 20 presses of the buttons before the engine will begin, making it virtually impossible for thieves to copy your keys or hack into your vehicle.

Modern car thieves utilize professional diagnostic tools to determine which security systems are installed on vehicles. The Ghost, however, does not send any signals. With the help of sophisticated RF scanning code-grabbing technology and relay attack methods criminals can detect the type of security equipment is installed in your vehicle. This will permit them to tamper with the immobiliser or alarm circuits to disable your system and get away with your vehicle.

The Ghost is different from other immobilisers available on the market because it is directly integrated into the CAN data network of your van or car, making it nearly impossible to bypass. The system is also compatible with a number of newer car's that do not have integrated key fob security. It can also be used with electric vehicles and it is able to prevent the vehicle from going into the "service valet" mode.

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

This is due to the fact that your vehicle will be less likely to be taken away and your insurers will have a much easier time recovering.

No Circuit Cuts

The Ghost is the original aftermarket immobiliser for the CAN bus that protects your vehicle in a way that is unlike anything else available. Contrary to other aftermarket security devices, this one isn't connected to key fobs or LED indications and works by communicating directly with the vehicle's CAN system. It can then block the ECU and stop the engine from running until a specific PIN has been entered via the vehicle's dash or steering-wheel buttons (brand dependent). This means that it is impossible for hackers to hack into the system using relay attacks or any other means and cannot be disabled with the buttons a few times as with some older systems.

The system also has the Service and Valet mode which is activated when the vehicle is in garage for servicing or valet parking. This allows the vehicle to begin temporarily whilst being worked on without having to hand over the keys or the pin code. It the system automatically shuts down when the vehicle is in your possession.

The Ghost is a more secure choice for classic, sports or prestige cars that need to be kept away from the battery when parked for long periods. It's also undetectable by modern technologies for RF scanning and code grabbing, making it very difficult for thieves or hackers to get around.

No Scanning RF

Many car thieves are using sophisticated equipment to clone car keys and steal cars. These systems can be accessible on the internet and require only a few basic skills to operate. These cloning systems do not employ RF scanning to locate the Ghost immobiliser.

Instead, the system uses the buttons inside your car to create an unique pin code push sequence. This is done using the buttons that are already on your steering wheel, door panels or central console. It is also reversible 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 extremely easy to use. It isn't dependent on the smartphone and can be used with a small, waterproof wireless tag, or the Apple or Android application (sold separately). You simply enter into service mode on your mobile device, then drive away and then return the vehicle to valet mode and turn off your phone. This is perfect for classic cars and prestige vehicles that are usually serviced at garages of dealers.

Brand-dependent These CANBUS immobilisers can be used with other external security devices, such as alarms or trackers. This allows users to choose whether to put their alarm or tracker over the CAN bus imobilisers. This is especially useful if you have a Thatcham-approved Tracker installed, as the tracker will be activated prior to the time Ghost is activated.

The CANBUS immobilisers block codes that were sent by the original remote keys to the ECUs and BCM controllers. This blocks them from activating the engine and/or starting the vehicle. These systems are able to provide an additional security layer for vehicles that have remote controls from the factory.

The Autowatch Ghost will provide you with a higher level of security for your BMW. It is almost impossible to notice because it is concealed in the wiring. It doesn't use LED indicators or keys-fobs, which prevents the criminal from being able to detect its presence.

The car won't move or start unless this sequence is entered correctly. Many insurance companies now require this device to be installed as standard, and it can often result in a reduction in monthly costs.

It is not necessary to cut wires to install it, as it connects to the CAN bus and operates through the ECU. The device isn't detected by thieves using high-tech diagnostic tools, and can't detect the sound of a traditional security device. The Ghost Immobiliser can be configured into the service mode, so that your vehicle can be driven and started without requiring the PIN code This is helpful when taking it to the garage or for a valet parking service or for valet parking services.

This is important, especially if you have put your keys in the ignition while the vehicle isn't driven. There are a myriad of ways to trick the driver to believe that keys are inside the car, and thereby allow theft to take place.
