Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost immobiliser ghost

It is only logical to protect our vehicles, as they are an object of joy and pride. The Autowatch Ghost is a discrete vehicle immobiliser which connects to your vehicles CAN data network. It is controlled by the ECU (your cars brain).

Once installed the device will block your car from moving unless an appropriate pin code sequence (up to 20 presses) is entered, much as a PIN number on your credit card.

No key fobs or LED indicators to give away the location of the item.

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 utilizes buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console, or door to generate an unique pin code that has to be entered to allow your vehicle to start. The system can be configured to require up to 20 presses before the engine can begin to turn on which makes it virtually impossible for thieves or cloners to gain access into your car.

Modern car thieves can employ professional diagnostic tools to identify which security systems are in vehicles, but the Ghost does not transmit signals as conventional systems do. Using sophisticated RF scanning, code grabbing technology and relay attack methods criminals can determine the kind of security equipment is installed in your vehicle. They are able to disable the security system of your vehicle by altering the alarm or immobiliser.

The Ghost is different from other immobilisers on the market because it is directly integrated into the CAN data network of your vehicle or van, making it nearly impossible to bypass. The system is compatible with the latest vehicles that don't have key fob security. It also works in all electric vehicles and even prevent the vehicle from going into "service valet mode".

If it is installed by one of our qualified engineers, we offer the TASSA certified guarantee that gives you the peace of mind the installation is secure and of the highest standard. TASSA is a group which improves and maintains standards in the security industry for automobiles. They ensure that all of their approved installers are DBS checked and fully trained, insured and certified for Ghost installation. They will also provide you with your owner guides, installation certifications and an emergency card for ghost immobiliser car. Your insurance premiums will be significantly decreased. This is due to the fact that your car is less likely to be stolen and it will be easier for your insurers to recover.

No Circuit Cuts

The Ghost is the first 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, it's not 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 is entered on the steering wheel or dash buttons (brand dependent). This makes it difficult for criminals to hack the system using relay attacks or any other means.

The system also features the Service and Valet mode which is activated when the vehicle is in garage to service or valet parking. This allows the vehicle to begin temporarily while being worked on without having to hand over keys or the pin code, but the system automatically shuts down after the vehicle is in your possession.

The Ghost is a safer choice for classic, sports and prestige automobiles that must be isolated from the battery while parked for long periods. It is also unnoticed by modern RF scanning and code grabbing technology, making it extremely difficult for thieves to steal or hack.

If you are looking for a complete solution of vehicle security that does not only safeguard against key cloning but also track your vehicle in the event that it is stolen, then we suggest one of our S7 tracking systems. They are compatible with Ghost to provide you with peace of mind. All of our installations are performed by a qualified, experienced and insured TASSA approved installer. You will receive detailed demonstrations of the product prior to handover with owner manuals, Installation certification and a Ghost emergency card.

If you're interested in getting a Ghost fitted to your vehicle then please contact us for pricing and to make a booking. It's often a faster option to book ahead rather than leaving it until the last minute, when we get extremely busy. We'll try to book you in as soon as possible.

No RF Scanning

Many thieves of cars use sophisticated equipment to copy keys and steal vehicles. These systems can be easily accessible on the internet and require only a few basic skills to operate. These cloning devices do not make use of RF scanning to identify the Ghost immobiliser.

Instead the system uses the buttons on your car to create a unique pin code push sequence. This is done by using the buttons on your steering wheel, door panels, or on your centre console. It's also a switchable number and not a PIN like a remote fob which makes it extremely difficult to hack.

This makes the Autowatch Ghost very secure and extremely simple to use. It isn't dependent on smartphones and can be utilized with a small waterproof wireless tag, or the Apple or Android app (sold separately). You can go into service mode using your mobile device and then drive away. Then you can return the vehicle to valet mode and disable your smartphone. This is perfect for classic cars as well as prestige vehicles which are often taken in for maintenance at garages of dealers.

These CANBUS immobilisers can be linked to other security products such as alarms and trackers (Brand dependant). This allows the user the option to choose whether to prioritise their tracker or alarm over the CAN bus imobilisers. This is especially useful in the event that you have a Thatcham approved Tracker, as the tracker can be activated prior to the Ghost is activated.

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

If you're looking for a new level of security for your BMW then the Autowatch Ghost is an ideal solution. It is completely hidden inside the wiring, making it virtually impossible to detect. It doesn't use LED indicators or keys-fobs which prevents any criminal from not noticing its presence.

No Electronics to Detected

As a leading Thatcham Installer, we install the revolutionary new product called the Ghost immobiliser from Autowatch that prevents Keyless Entry theft and cloning which is increasing in modern automobiles. It is a secret device that does not depend on LED indicators or key fobs. It utilizes the factory buttons that are in your car to create an unique pin code push sequence. This is needed to start or move the vehicle. If this sequence is not entered correctly the car will not start or move at all. Many insurance companies are now asking for this device to be fitted as standard and it can often lead to a reduction in monthly premiums.

It doesn't require the cutting of wires to be put in place as it connects up to the CAN data bus and operates through the ECU (Engine Control Unit). The device is not able to be detected using the diagnostic tools that high-tech thieves use, and there isn't a way to detect the distinctive click of a traditional relay like on a more conventional security device. Ghost Immobilisers can be configured to operate in a service mode which allows your vehicle to be started without the PIN code. This is useful for transporting it to garages or a valet parking service. The PIN code may be changed at any time for additional security.

The Ghost II is TASSA-approved, which means that it is only available from installers who are certified. This provides a high level of security. It also means that the Engineer who installs it is DBS certified, trained and insured.

While it's not a substitute for an alarm system we always recommend that you combine it with other physical barriers, such as crook locks and wheel clamps, and if possible a hidden GPS tracker such as Meta Trak VTS to give you the highest degree of security. This is especially important when you've put your keys in the ignition while the vehicle isn't driven. There are many ways to make the driver believe that keys are inside the car and allow theft to take place.
