Ghost Immobiliser Review
As car theft increases consumers are constantly searching for ways to prevent it. Ghost immobilisers are a perfect solution for what it says on the tin.
It's the first-ever aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that shields your vehicle from hacking, key cloning or keyless entry and even stops thieves driving away with your vehicle.
No Faraday Bags and Radio Signals
Unlike other physical anti-theft devices like steering wheel locks and wheel clamps, ghost immobilisers are designed to be hidden and unnoticeable. They are integrated into the buttons of your vehicle, they provide protection against key hacking, cloning and ECU swapping and even key theft. Ghost immobilisers prevent the engine from running until you enter a chosen PIN code in conjunction with your key fob. The PIN code can be up to 20 presses long and can be alterable by the driver through an app or the vehicle's buttons. If you do not remember your pin, a button fails or you sell your car, there's an emergency PIN code specific to every device that can be used to reset the system.
As an added bonus Ghost immobilisers are not detected by diagnostic tools and do not emit radio frequency signals, which means that thieves aren't able to utilize sophisticated RF scanning technology to detect the presence of a security device. They also use CAN data network, which does not require cutting wires during installation and is quieter.
Ghost immobilisers may not be Thatcham approved, but they are TASSA-approved. Certain insurers offer lower rates on insurance for vehicles with an aftermarket immobiliser. However, they are recognized as an additional security layer that could deter thieves.
Unlike factory-fitted immobilisers, the Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is designed to work with a range of vehicles including motorhomes, vans, electric cars and ride-on lawnmowers. This makes it far more adaptable than other anti-theft technology and can be used in conjunction with vehicles trackers to give you the most complete car security package.

Simple PIN Code Change Process
Contrary to key fobs that require a code to unlock the ECU and then start your car ghost immobilisers connect to the car's ECU via its own CAN data network. They are therefore undetectable, quiet and are not hacked by diagnostic tools. Furthermore, the technology in these systems ensures that they can be fitted to a wide range of vehicles including trucks, motorhomes and plant machinery.
Our Autowatch Ghost system was created to offer complete protection against theft. It prevents your vehicle from starting until you have either the unique PIN or the smartphone application with the ghost app downloaded on it. This is an incredibly high-security feature that will safeguard your vehicle from key cloning. Hacking and ECU Swapping.
It is safe because it does not require any extra elements like key fobs or LED indicators. Instead, the device utilizes your existing buttons on your steering wheel and door panels to generate an adjustable sequence that needs to be entered before your vehicle can start. It can take as long as 20 actions and is similar to the PIN code of credit card.
The device is also hidden, meaning that thieves cannot find it. Furthermore, it doesn't utilize radio signals and works on the CAN data network, making it unnoticeable to thieves using RF scanners.
Many thieves attempt to remove the chip from the CAN or replace it in the ECU to keep it from being detected. However, this technique is only possible for professionals who have access to the right tools. This is the reason why the ghost immobiliser is efficient and can be used to safeguard your car from many different kinds of vehicle thefts.

The Ghost Immobiliser uses the buttons on your car's original key fob to generate a secret disarm sequence (like a PIN code) which must be entered before the engine can begin. This could be as long as 20 actions and can be changed by the driver at any time. This is a much safer method of security than using the key fob alone since it guarantees that nobody else will be able to operate your vehicle. This stops thieves from hacking the system to gain access to the key code or information that is transmitted to the ECU of the vehicle through it.
