Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser

It only makes sense to protect our vehicles, as they are an expression of pride and happiness. The Autowatch Ghost is a discreet vehicle immobiliser that connects to your vehicles CAN data network. It works through the ECU (your cars brain).

The device, which is similar to a PIN code on a credit card, will not permit your vehicle 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 is virtually invisible to anyone entering your vehicle as it does not use LED indicators or key fobs. The system makes use of buttons that are already in use, such as the centre console or the steering wheel to create a unique, changeable pin code sequence that has to be entered before the car starts. The system can be programmed to require up 20 press before the engine can start making it nearly impossible for thieves or cloners to hack into your vehicle.

Modern car thieves employ professional diagnostic tools to determine which security systems are in place on vehicles. The Ghost however, does not transmit any signals. With the help of sophisticated RF scanning code grabbing technology and relay attack methods criminals can detect the kind of security equipment is in your vehicle. This allows them to tamper with the immobiliser or alarm circuits to disable your system and escape with your vehicle.

In contrast to other immobilisers on market, the Ghost is integrated in your vehicle's CAN data network so it is near impossible to hack or bypass. The system also works with many newer car's that do not have built in keyfob security. It also works on electric vehicles in the majority of cases and will even stop the vehicle from going into "service valet mode".

When it is installed by one of our trained engineers, we provide the TASSA verified guarantee to give you assurance that your installation is secure and of the highest quality.

No Circuit Cuts

The Ghost is the original aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that protects your vehicle like no other available. In contrast to other aftermarket car security devices, it's not connected to key fobs or LEDs and communicates directly with the vehicle's CAN system. It then blocks the ECU and stop the engine from running until a specific PIN has been entered via the 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 in older systems.

The system also has a Service and Valet mode which is activated when the vehicle is in garage to service or valet parking. This allows the vehicle to be started while it is being repaired without having to hand over the keys or use the pin code, but then automatically disables again after the vehicle is in your possession.

This makes the Ghost more secure option for classic, sports or high-end automobiles that require battery isolation when parked up for long periods of time. It's also undetectable by modern RF scanning technology and code grabbing, making it extremely difficult for hackers or thieves to evade.

No RF Scanning

Many car thieves employ sophisticated equipment to copy keys and steal vehicles. These systems can be located on the internet and require no knowledge to operate. The Ghost immobiliser is undetectable using these devices since it doesn't rely on the RF scanner.

The system instead uses buttons on your car to generate an individual pin code push. This is accomplished by using the buttons on your steering wheel or door panels, or the centre console. This is also changeable and does not have a PIN number like the remote key fob, which makes it very difficult to hack.

The Autowatch Ghost is extremely secure and simple to use. It is not dependent on the smartphone and can be used with a small waterproof wireless tag or Apple or Android application (sold separately). Simply enter service mode on your mobile device, drive away and then return the vehicle to valet mode and disable your phone. This is ideal for classic cars as well as prestige vehicles that are frequently taken in for service at garages of dealers.

Brand-dependent These CANBUS immobilisers work with other external security devices like alarms or trackers. This lets the user decide whether or not they would like their tracker or alarm to take priority over the CAN bus immobilisers. This is especially useful in the event you have a Thatcham approved Tracker fitted as the tracker is able to be activated before the Ghost is activated.

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

The Autowatch Ghost will provide you with a higher level of security on your BMW. It is completely hidden inside the wiring making it almost impossible to detect. It doesn't have LED indicators or keys-fobs, which prevents a criminal from being able to detect its presence.

No Electronics Detected

As a leading Thatcham Installer, we install the revolutionary new product called the Ghost immobiliser by Autowatch that stops Keyless Entry theft and cloning which is on the increase in modern vehicles. It is a hidden device that doesn't rely on LED indicators or key fobs. It uses the buttons in your car's factory to create a pin code push sequence that is unique to you and is required before your vehicle is able to start or move. The car won't move or start unless the sequence is entered correctly. Many insurance companies are now insisting that this device be fitted as standard and it can often lead to a reduction in monthly costs.

It does not require the cutting of wires to be put in place because it is connected to the CAN data bus, and functions via the ECU (Engine Control Unit). The device is not able to be detected with the kinds of diagnostic tools that thieves using high-tech use and there is no way they can listen for the telltale clicking of a traditional relay, as they would in a conventional security device. The Ghost Immobiliser can also be configured into the service mode, so that your vehicle can be driven and started without the need for a PIN - this is useful when you need to take it to the garage, or for a valet parking service or for valet parking services. The PIN code can be changed for additional security at anytime.
