Ghost Immobiliser Review

As the number of car thefts increases, consumers are constantly looking for ways to prevent it. Ghost immobilisers are a perfect solution for what it says on the tin.

It's the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser in the world that guards against key cloning or hacking and also stops thieves from stealing your vehicle.

No Faraday Bags and Radio Signals

Ghost immobilisers, unlike other physical measures to prevent theft, such as wheel locks or steering wheel clamps, are designed to be invisible and covert. They are integrated into the car buttons and offer protection against key copying. Ghost immobilisers prevent the engine from starting unless you enter a specific PIN code sequence alongside your key fob. This PIN code can be up to 20 presses long, and is changed by the driver using an app or the buttons on the vehicle. If you forget your pin, a button breaks or you sell your vehicle There's an emergency PIN code unique to every device that can be used to reset the system.

Additionally Ghost immobilisers are not detected by diagnostic tools. They don't emit radio frequency signals, which means that thieves can't use sophisticated RF scanning technology to detect the presence of a security device. They also make use of the CAN data network that does not require wire cutting after installation and is more quiet than other immobilisers.

Although ghost immobilisers are not Thatcham approved, they are TASSA approved and some insurers offer reduced insurance rates for vehicles with an aftermarket immobiliser fitted. However, they are regarded as an additional security measure that can deter thieves.

Autowatch Ghost is unlike factory-fitted immobilisers because it is compatible with a variety of vehicles such as vans and motorhomes. It also works with electric cars as well as ride-on lawnmowers and even motorhomes. This means it is much more versatile than other types of anti-theft devices and can be used in conjunction with vehicle trackers to give you the most comprehensive car security package.

The device is connected to the CAN (Control Area Network), enabling you to select a unique PIN push sequence of up to 20 digits in length which is required to start your Range Rover or Land Rover J. This is similar to the way you 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 tiny and weatherproof, making it nearly impossible to spot by thieves. It also communicates with the CAN data bus and so it is completely silent, making it difficult to identify.

Simple PIN Code Change Process

Contrary to key fobs that utilize an unlock code to open the ECU and start your vehicle, ghost immobilisers communicate with the vehicle's ECU through its own CAN data network. They are therefore undetectable by diagnostic tools, inaudible and invulnerable to hack. These systems can be fitted to various vehicles such as trucks and motorhomes, as well as plant machinery.

Our Autowatch Ghost system has been created to offer complete security against theft. It will stop your vehicle from being started without having either the unique PIN or smartphone application that has the ghost app installed on it. This is a incredibly secure level of security that will help to protect your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and ECU swapping.

The reason why it is safe is that there is no need to include extra components like key fobs or LED indicators, or remotes. The device utilizes the buttons on your door and steering wheel instead to create a sequence that can be altered prior to the start of your car. It can be as long as 20 actions long and functions similarly to a PIN number on your credit card.

The device is also hidden, so that thieves can't locate it. Additionally, it does not use radio signals and operates on the CAN data network making it completely undetectable to thieves using RF scanning devices.

Many car thieves try to remove the CAN chip from the ECU or even replace it to avoid detection, however this can only be carried out by experts who have access to the right equipment. Ghost immobilisers can safeguard your car from various kinds of vehicle thefts.

In addition, it could be used in conjunction with an iPhone that you will require if you need to start your engine while your car is located at work or home. The app will detect the phone and allow you to drive with no needing a PIN code. This functionality is available for any model of Autowatch Ghost, and you can pair as many smartphones with it as you want.

The Ghost Immobiliser creates a secret disarming sequence (like pin codes) using the buttons on the original key fob in your vehicle. This sequence must be entered before you can start the engine. The driver can change the sequence at any time. It can contain up to 20 actions. This is a much safer method of security than using a key fob by itself, as it means nobody else is able to drive your vehicle. It also prevents thiefs from 'hacking' the system to gain access to your key code or information transmitted to the vehicle's ECU from it.
