Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser

It is only natural to protect our vehicles, because they are an object of pride and joy. The Autowatch Ghost system is a discrete immobiliser that connects to the vehicle CAN data network and operates via the ECU which is your car's 'brain'.

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

No key fobs, LED indicators to give away its location.

The Ghost Immobiliser does not use key fobs or LED indicators which means it is virtually undetectable to anyone who gets into your vehicle. The system uses buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console or door to create an individual pin code that must be entered to allow your car to begin. The system can be configured to require as many as 20 press before the engine can turn on making it nearly impossible for thieves or cloners to hack into your vehicle.

Modern car thieves are able to employ professional diagnostic tools to detect what security systems are fitted to vehicles, however the ghost 2 immobiliser problems does not transmit any signals like the conventional security systems do. Using sophisticated RF scanning, code grabbing technology and relay attack methods criminals can identify what type of security equipment is in your vehicle. They can then disable the security system of your vehicle by tampering with the alarm or immobiliser.

The Ghost is different from other immobilisers that are available on the market because it is directly integrated into the CAN data network of your van or car which makes it virtually impossible to break. The system is compatible with the latest cars that don't have key fob security. It can also be utilized in electric vehicles and it is able to stop the car from entering the "service valet" mode.

If the Ghost is installed by our fully qualified engineers, TASSA will verify the installation to make sure it is safe and up to standards. TASSA is an organization which maintains and improves standards in the security of vehicles industry and ensures that all their approved installers have passed DBS checks and are fully certified, insured, and trained to install the Ghost.

This is because your vehicle will be less likely be taken away and your insurers will have a much easier time recovering.

No Circuit Cuts

The Ghost is a CAN bus immobiliser which will protect your vehicle more than any other. Unlike other aftermarket car security devices, it's not connected to key fobs or LEDs and works by communicating directly with the vehicle's CAN system. It will then block the ECU and prevent the engine from starting until a specific PIN has been entered into the steering wheel or dash buttons (brand dependent). This makes it impossible for criminals to hack into the system using relay attacks or other methods and can't simply be disabled by several buttons 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. The vehicle can be started for a short period while it is being repaired and without the need to enter the pin code or hand over the keys. It will then shut down once you return the vehicle.

The Ghost is a more secure choice for classic, sports and prestige automobiles that must be kept away from the battery while parked for long periods. It's also not detected by modern scans using RF and code-grabbing technology making it very difficult for thieves to bypass or hack.

No RF Scanning

Many thieves use sophisticated equipment to clone vehicle keys and steal vehicles. These systems can be accessible on the internet and require no knowledge to operate. These cloning systems do not make use of RF scanning to identify the Ghost immobiliser.

Instead, the system uses the buttons on your car to create an individual pin code push sequence. This is accomplished by using the buttons that are already on your steering wheel, door panels or center console. This is also changeable and is not a PIN number like the remote key fob, which makes it very difficult to hack.

The Autowatch Ghost is extremely secure and easy to use. It doesn't require a smartphone, but can be utilized with a small waterproof tag or an Apple or Android App (sold separately). You can enter service mode using your mobile device and drive away. Then, you return the car to valet-mode and turn off your smartphone. This is ideal for classic cars and prestige vehicles that are frequently taken to garages owned by dealers.

Brand-dependent, these CANBUS immobilisers can be used with other external security devices such as alarms or trackers. This lets the user decide whether or not they want their alarm or tracker to take priority over the immobilisers CAN bus. This is particularly helpful in the event that you have a Thatcham approved Tracker, as the tracker can be activated before the ghost immobiliser london (www.chumphonburihos.com) is activated.

The CANBUS immobilisers use the cars CAN data bus to stop the codes that are expected to be sent to the ECU and BCM controllers by the remote keys that came with it which prevents them from beginning the car or turning on the engine.

No Electronics to Detected

As a leading Thatcham Installer, we install the revolutionary new product, the Ghost immobiliser by Autowatch that prevents Keyless Entry theft and cloning which is on the increase in modern automobiles. It is a covert system that does not use LED indications or key fobs. It uses the factory buttons in your car to create an unique pin code push sequence. This is required to start or move the car. The car cannot move or start until this sequence is entered correctly. Numerous insurance companies now require this device to be installed as a standard, and it can often result in a reduction in monthly cost.

It is not necessary to cut wires in order to install it, since it connects to the CAN bus and works through the ECU. The unit isn't able to be detected by thieves using high-tech diagnostic tools, and they are unable to detect the sound of a traditional security device. Ghost Immobilisers are able to be set to a service mode, which allows your vehicle to start without the PIN code. This is useful for transporting it to garages or a valet parking service. The PIN code can be changed at any time to provide added security.

The Ghost II is TASSA approved which means it's only available from fully accredited installers. This gives you the highest level of protection and also ensures that the Engineer who installs is fully DBS checked, insured and trained.

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