Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Review

Autowatch Ghost is the next-generation in car security. It is invisible to thieves and impossible for them to start the car without a specific pin code.

The system is based upon the CAN Data network of your vehicle. It's silent, so it cannot be detected with standard radio signals or diagnostic tools. The system does not require any cutting of the electrical circuit.

What is a Ghost Immobiliser?

A Ghost Immobiliser is an instrument that helps to protect your car against theft, by blocking the engine from starting until you enter a specific pin code. It is a device that can be used in a range of vehicles, and unlike traditional immobilisers, it does not require a key or fob to operate. It is also difficult to bypass or hack, and operates in complete silence. This means that thieves will need to be quick to escape without being noticed.

It is protected from key locking, signal jamming, and spoofing, which are all methods that thieves have used to gain access to cars using standard immobiliser systems. The device also prevents thieves from stealing keys by digging through your letterbox or getting into your home to steal the remote control. It will also stop them from driving away your joy and pride in the event that they are able to gain access to the key as it prevents them from starting your vehicle without entering the code first.

As opposed to passive immobilisers that require an ignition key or fob to be press, a ghost-immobiliser is designed to be sealed within the engine and connects directly to the vehicle's CAN data circuit. It makes use of buttons on the steering wheel and centre console as well as door panels to generate a unique pin code which you must enter before the engine can start. The system can also be set to service mode to allow your vehicle to start and drive for short periods of time without the requirement for a PIN code, but it will then exit service mode based on speed and time.

It is impossible to hack or bypass the system even with the most advanced equipment, such as codes grabbing devices. It is also impossible to disable using a standard vehicle immobiliser as it doesn't transmit signals like a standard immobiliser and only connects directly to the data circuit of the CAN.

How does a Ghost Immobiliser work?

In simple terms, an immobiliser functions by preventing your vehicle from starting if the wrong key or fob is used. This is accomplished by sending a code from the wrong fob or key to the ECU (Engine Control Unit). The ECU will not recognize it and your car won't start. It is crucial to ensure that your car is fitted with an immobiliser supplied by a reputable and recognised specialist.

The code can be easily reset by entering a number sequence into the ghost immobiliser and tracker application.
