Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser

It only makes sense to ensure the safety of our vehicles since they are an object of pride and joy. The Autowatch Ghost is a discreet vehicle immobiliser that connects to your vehicle's CAN data network. It is controlled by the ECU (your car's brain).

Once it is installed the device will stop your car from moving unless a chosen pin code sequence (up to 20 presses) is entered, just like a PIN on your credit card.

No Key Fobs or LED Indicators to indicate its location

The Ghost Immobiliser does not use key fobs or LED indicators, so it is virtually undetectable to anyone who gets into your vehicle. The system uses buttons that are already in use, such as the centre console, door or steering wheel to create an individual, custom-changeable pin code sequence that has to be entered before your vehicle starts. The system can be programmed to require up to 20 presses of the buttons before the engine can start making it virtually impossible for thieves to copy your keys or hack into your vehicle.

Modern car thieves employ professional diagnostic tools to determine what security systems are installed on vehicles. The Ghost, however, does not send any signals. Using sophisticated RF scanning, code-grabbing technology, and relay attack techniques, criminals can determine the kind of security equipment is in your vehicle. They are able to disable the security system of your vehicle by altering the alarm or immobiliser.

The Ghost is unique from other immobilisers available on the market as it is directly integrated into the CAN data network of your van or car and is nearly impossible to bypass. The system is compatible with modern vehicles that don't have key fob security. It will also work in most electric cars and can even stop the vehicle from going into "service valet mode".

When it is installed by one of our fully trained engineers, we provide an TASSA confirmed guarantee to give 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 field of automotive security. They make sure that all their approved installers have been DBS certified, fully trained certified, insured and insured for Ghost installation. 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 car will be much less likely to be stolen, and it will be much simpler for your insurers to recuperate.

No Circuit Cuts

The Ghost is the original aftermarket immobiliser for CAN buses that safeguards your vehicle like nothing else available. It's not linked to LED indicators or key fobs but communicates directly with the vehicle's CAN system. This allows it to stop the ECU from starting and stops the engine from running unless a unique PIN is first entered via the dash of the vehicle or via the steering wheel buttons (brand dependant). This means it is impossible for hackers to hack' into the system by using relay attacks or Thekeylab any other method and can't simply be disabled by pressing the buttons a few times like with older systems.

The system has an Service and Valet mode that is activated while the vehicle is in garage for servicing, or valet parking. This allows the vehicle to start while it is being repaired without the need to hand over the keys or enter the pin code, but the system automatically shuts down after the vehicle is in your possession.

The Ghost is a safer option for classic, sports and prestige automobiles that must be isolated from the battery when parked for long periods. It is also undetectable by the latest technologies for RF scanning and code grabbing, making it very difficult for thieves or hackers to get around.

If you're looking for a complete package of vehicle security that does not only guard against key-cloning, but also monitor your vehicle if it is stolen, then we recommend one of our S7 tracking systems. They are compatible with Ghost to give you peace of mind. Installations are carried out by an approved installer by TASSA, who is certified and insured. They are also experienced and knowledgeable. You'll also receive a Ghost emergency card along with owner's manuals, as well as installation certification.

Please contact us to get a quote and book if you are interested in having a Ghost installed on your vehicle. It's usually a better option to make a reservation in advance rather than leaving it until the last minute when we are extremely busy. We'll always aim to get you booked in the earliest time possible.

No RF Scanning

Many thieves use sophisticated equipment to clone vehicle keys and steal cars. These systems can be located on the internet and they require little knowledge to operate. The Ghost immobiliser is undetectable using these cloning devices as it does not depend on the RF scanner.

The system instead uses the buttons in your car to generate an unique pin code push. This is done using the buttons on your steering wheels or door panels, or the centre console. This is also changeable and not a pin number like a 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 use of a smartphone, but it can be utilized with a small waterproof tag or an Apple or Android App (sold separately). You can go into service mode with your mobile device and drive away. Then you can return the vehicle to valet-mode and turn off your mobile. This is ideal for classic cars and prestige vehicles that are usually serviced at garages owned by dealers.

These CANBUS immobilisers are able to be connected to other external security products like alarms and trackers (Brand dependent). This lets the user decide if they want their tracker or alarm to take priority over the immobilisers on CAN bus. This is particularly beneficial in the event that you have a certified Thatcham Tracker, since the tracker will be activated prior to the time Ghost is activated.

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

If you're looking for a new level of security for your BMW then the Autowatch Ghost is an ideal solution. It is nearly impossible to spot because it is concealed in the wiring. It does not use any LED indicators or keys-fobs which helps to prevent the criminal from noticing its presence.

No Electronics Detected

As a top Thatcham installer we install a new, revolutionary product from Autowatch called the Ghost Immobiliser. It prevents Keyless Entry theft or cloning which is on the rise in modern automobiles. It is a hidden device that does not 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 which is required before the vehicle is able to start or move. Unless this sequence is entered correctly the car will not begin or move at all. Many insurance companies are now insisting that this device be fitted as standard and often leads to a decrease in monthly cost.

It is not required to cut any wires in order to install it, as it connects to the CAN bus and operates through the ECU. The unit isn't able to be identified by sophisticated thieves using diagnostic tools, and they are unable to detect the sound of a traditional security device. The Ghost Immobiliser can be programmed into an operating mode that allows your vehicle can be driven and started without the need for a PIN - this is useful when taking it to the garage or for a valet parking service etc. The PIN code can be altered at any time for added security.

The Ghost II is TASSA approved which means it is only available through fully certified installers. This offers a high-level of security and the Engineer who installs is fully DBS checked as well as insured and certified.

Meta Trak VTS is an GPS tracker that can be hidden in your vehicle. This will give you the highest level of protection. This is important, especially in the event that you've left your keys in the ignition when the vehicle isn't being driven. There are a variety of ways to trick the driver to believe that the keys are still in the car, allowing theft to occur.
