Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser
It is only logical to protect our vehicles, since they are an expression of joy and pride. The Autowatch Ghost system is a discreet immobiliser that connects to the vehicle CAN data network. It operates via the ECU, your cars brain..
Once it is installed the device will block your car from moving unless a chosen pin code sequence (up to 20 presses) is entered, much as a PIN on your credit card.
No Key Fobs or LED Indications to Give Away Its Location
The Ghost Immobiliser does not use key fobs or LED indicators so it is virtually undetectable to anyone who enters your vehicle. The system makes use of buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console or door to generate an unique pin code that has to be entered in order for your car to begin. The system can be set to take up to 20 presses of the buttons before the engine will begin, making it nearly impossible for thieves to duplicate your key or hack your vehicle.
Modern car thieves use professional diagnostic tools to determine which security systems are in place on vehicles. The Ghost, however, does not send any signals. Criminals can determine the kind of security device that is installed in your vehicle using sophisticated technology for RF scanning such as code grabbing, relay and attack techniques. They can then disable your vehicle's security system by tampering with the alarm or immobiliser.
In contrast to other immobilisers on market, the Ghost is incorporated into your vehicle's CAN data network, which means it is nearly impossible to bypass and hack. The system also works with many modern vehicles that don't have built in keyfob security. It can also be used with electric vehicles and can prevent the vehicle from entering a "service valet" mode.
If it is installed by one of our fully trained engineers, we provide the TASSA verified guarantee to give you peace of mind that your installation is safe and of the highest standards. TASSA is an organization that is responsible for maintaining and improving standards in the security of vehicles industry. It also ensures that all of their approved installers have completed DBS tests and are certified, insured, and trained to install the Ghost. You will also receive your Ghost emergency card, installation certification and owner manuals. Your insurance premiums will be drastically reduced. This is due to the fact that your vehicle will be less likely to be stolen, and it will be easier for your insurers to recover.
No Circuit Cuts
The Ghost is an immobiliser CAN bus that safeguards your car more than any other. In contrast to other aftermarket car security devices it isn't linked to key fobs or LEDs and communicates directly with the vehicle's CAN system. This allows it to stop the ECU from starting and stop the engine from running until the PIN is entered first via the dash or steering wheel buttons (brand dependent). This makes it impossible for thieves to alter the system using relay attacks or any other method.
The system also comes with a Service and Valet mode that is activated when the vehicle is in garage to service or valet parking. The vehicle can be started temporarily while being worked on and without the need to use the pin code or hand over the keys. It will then automatically stop itself when you return the vehicle.
This makes the Ghost safer option for classic, sports or high-end cars that require battery isolation when parked up for long periods of time. It is also undetected by modern scanners for RF and code grabbing technology, making it extremely difficult for thieves to bypass or hack.

No Scanning with RF
Many thieves of cars use sophisticated equipment to clone keys and steal vehicles. These systems can be easily located on the internet and require no knowledge to operate. The Ghost immobiliser cannot be detected by these cloning devices as it does not rely on the RF scanner.
The system instead uses buttons on your car to create an unique pin code push. This is done using the buttons on your steering wheel, door panels, or centre console. It can also be changed and does not have a PIN number like the remote key fob, which makes it extremely difficult to hack.
The Autowatch Ghost is extremely secure and easy to use. It does not require the smartphone and can be utilized with a small waterproof wireless tag or Apple or Android app (sold separately). Simply enter service mode with your mobile device, leave the car and then return the car to valet mode and turn off your phone. This is perfect for classic cars and prestige automobiles that are frequently brought in for maintenance at dealer garages.
These CANBUS immobilisers are able to be connected to other security devices like alarms and trackers (Brand dependant). This allows the user to decide if they want their alarm or tracker to have priority over CAN bus immobilisers. This is particularly beneficial in the event that you have a certified Thatcham Tracker installed, as the tracker will be activated before Ghost is activated.
The CANBUS immobilisers use the cars CAN data bus to block the codes that could be sent to the ECU and BCM controllers by the original remote keys which prevents them from beginning the car or turning on the engine.
