Consumers are always trying to find ways to prevent car theft as it increases. Ghost immobilisers are an innovative new device that does just that.
It's the world's first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser, which protects your vehicle from hacking, key cloning or keyless entry, and keeps thieves from taking your vehicle.
No Faraday Bags or Radio Signals
Ghost immobilisers, in contrast to other physical security measures such as wheel locks or steering wheel clamps, are designed to be invisible and concealed. They are integrated into the car buttons and offer protection against key copying. Ghost immobilisers stop the engine from starting unless you enter a chosen PIN code along with your key fob. The PIN code can be up to 20 presses long and can be changed by the driver using an app or by the buttons of the vehicle. If you forget your pin, or an item breaks, or if you sell your vehicle you can utilize an emergency PIN code that's unique to each device to reset the system.
In addition, ghost immobilisers are undetectable by diagnostic tools. They don't emit any radio frequency signals, which means that thieves aren't able to employ sophisticated RF scanning technologies to detect the presence of security devices. They also utilize the CAN data network which does not require cutting wires upon 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. However, they are regarded as an additional layer of security that can deter thieves.
Contrary to immobilisers that are factory fitted, the Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is designed to work with a variety of vehicles, including motorhomes electric cars, vans, and ride-on lawnmowers. This makes it more flexible than other anti-theft devices and can be paired up with vehicle trackers for the most comprehensive car security solution.

No Key Fobs or LED Signs
Ghost immobilisers are incorporated into the wiring of your vehicle, meaning they are not able to be removed or overridden. It is also harder to find or hack since it doesn't have key fobs or LED indicators.
The device functions by connecting to your vehicle's CAN (Control Area Network) system and creating the creation of a unique PIN code push sequence that you choose - which can be as long as 20 digits long - that must be entered prior to when your Range Rover or Land Rover J will start. This is similar to the way you enter the pin code to secure your bank card. It is not affected by the process of cloning, or ECU swapping, which would normally disable the factory immobiliser.
It is small and weatherproof, making it nearly impossible to spot by a thief. It communicates with the CAN bus, which means it is silent and hard to spot. This makes it a perfect complement to your security system and is especially useful because it can be used with other Autowatch technologies like the Ghost Bluetooth tag, which allows you to start your vehicle without having to enter your PIN or the ghost app.
Another benefit of the ghost immobiliser is that it does not leave visible marks on the interior of your car, which can be an issue with some other aftermarket security products. This is particularly attractive to those who want to keep their pride and joy as authentic as they can for reselling.

Simple PIN Code Change Process
Contrary to key fobs that require a code to unlock the ECU and start your vehicle ghost immobilisers communicate with the car's ECU through its own CAN data network. They are therefore undetectable, quiet and are not hacked by diagnostic tools. These systems can be attached to various vehicles such as trucks and motorhomes and plant machinery.
Our Autowatch Ghost system has been created to offer complete security against theft. It blocks your vehicle from being started without either the unique PIN code or smartphone app with the ghost 2 immobiliser review app downloaded. This is an incredibly high level of security that will protect your vehicle from key copying. Hacking and ECU Swapping.
The reason it's so secure is that there is no requirement to add additional components like key fobs, LED indicators or a remote. The device uses the buttons on your door panels and steering wheel instead to generate the sequence that is altered prior to the start of your car. This could be as long as 20 steps and works similarly to the PIN number on credit card.
As well as this, the device is completely hidden and will not give away the location of the device to burglars. Additionally, it does not make use of radio signals and operates on the CAN data network making it completely undetectable to thieves using RF scanners.
Many thieves attempt to remove the CAN chip from the ECU or even replace it to avoid detection, however this technique is only attainable by experts who have access to the right equipment. Ghost immobilisers protect your vehicle from a variety of types of vehicle thefts.
It can also be connected with an iPhone and you will need if you wish to start your car when it is parked at work or home. The app will detect the phone and permit you to drive without needing a PIN. This feature is available on any model of the Autowatch Ghost and can be connected to any smartphone you want.

The Autowatch Ghost is compatible with many vehicles. It can be added to motorhomes, caravans, motorbikes and ride-on lawnmowers. If there is an electrical source, it is possible to be equipped with an immobiliser.
The Ghost Immobiliser uses the buttons on your car's original key fob to generate an encrypted sequence to disarm (like a PIN code) which must be entered before the engine can be started. The driver is able to modify the sequence at anytime. It can be comprised of up to 20 actions. This is a far safer method of security than using a key fob by itself, as it means nobody else is able to operate your vehicle. This prevents thieves from hacking the system to gain access to the key code or other information sent to the ECU of the vehicle through it.
