Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser
It only makes sense to protect our vehicles, since they are a source of joy and pride. The Autowatch Ghost system is a discrete immobiliser that is connected to the vehicle CAN data network. It operates through the ECU which is your car's brain..
Once it is installed the device will stop your car from moving until a chosen pin code sequence (up to 20 presses) is entered, much as a PIN number on your credit card.
No key fobs, 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 utilizes buttons on the steering wheel, 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 up 20 press before the engine can start which makes it virtually impossible for criminals or cloners to hack into your car.
Modern car thieves utilize professional diagnostic tools in order 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 installed in your car by using sophisticated RF scanning technology, code grabbing and relay attack methods. They are able to disable the security system of your vehicle by altering the alarm or immobiliser.
Unlike other immobilisers on the market, the Ghost is integrated into your vehicle's CAN data network, which means it is nearly impossible to hack and bypass. The system also works with many newer car's that do not have integrated key fob security. It can also be used in electric cars and can stop the car from entering a "service valet" mode.
If it is installed by one of our certified engineers, we provide a TASSA certified guarantee that gives you peace of mind that your installation is safe and of the highest standard. TASSA is a non-profit organization which maintains and improves standards within the automotive security industry. It also ensures that all their approved installers have been through DBS checks and are fully certified, insured, and trained to install the Ghost. They will also provide you with the owner's guides, installation certifications and a Ghost emergency card.

This is because your car will be much less likely to be stolen, and it will be easier for your insurers to recuperate.
No Circuit Cuts
The Ghost is an immobiliser CAN bus that will protect your vehicle more than any other. It's not connected to LED indicators or key fobs, but instead communicates directly with your vehicle's CAN system. It then blocks the ECU and stop the engine from running until a unique PIN has been entered into the steering wheel or dash buttons (brand dependent). This makes it difficult for thieves to alter the system through relay attacks, or any other method.
The system comes with the Service and Valet mode that is activated when the vehicle is in a garage for servicing, or valet parking. This allows the vehicle to start temporarily whilst being worked on without the need to hand over keys or use the pin code, however it then automatically disables again after the vehicle is in your possession.
This makes the Ghost safer option for classic, sports or prestige vehicles that require battery isolation while parked for long periods of time. It is also undetected by modern scans using RF and code-grabbing technology, making it extremely difficult for thieves to bypass or hack.

No Scanning RF
Many thieves use sophisticated tools to copy vehicle keys and steal vehicles. These devices are readily accessible online and require no skill to operate. The Ghost immobiliser is not detectable using these devices since it does not rely on the scanning of RF signals.
Instead, the system uses buttons in your car to generate an individual pin code push. This is accomplished by using the buttons you have on your steering wheel, door panels or center console. This is also changeable and does not have a PIN number like remote keys, which makes it very difficult to hack.
This makes the Autowatch Ghost very secure and extremely simple to use. It isn't dependent on smartphones and can be utilized with a small waterproof wireless tag, or the Apple or Android app (sold separately). You simply enter into service mode using your mobile device, then drive away and then return the vehicle to valet mode and turn off your phone. This is a great option for classic cars as well as prestige vehicles that are usually serviced at garages car ghost immobiliser owned by dealers.
These CANBUS immobilisers can be connected to other security products like alarms and trackers (Brand dependant). This gives users to decide whether they want to prioritise their tracker or alarm over the CAN bus imobilisers. This is especially useful if you have a Thatcham-approved Tracker, since the tracker will be activated prior to the time 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 via the remote keys that came with it which stops them from starting the car or triggering the engine. These systems are able to add an extra layer of security for cars equipped with remote controls that are factory installed.

No Electronics Detected
As a leading Thatcham installer we install a brand new and innovative product manufactured by Autowatch called the Ghost Immobiliser. It effectively prevents Keyless Entry theft or cloning that is increasing in modern vehicles. It is a covert device that does not depend on LED indicators or key fobs. It uses the factory buttons on your car to generate a pin code push sequence that is unique to you and is required before the car is able to start or move. Unless this sequence is properly entered, the car will not start or move at all. Many insurance companies are asking for this device to be included as standard equipment and it can often lead to a decrease in monthly costs.
It is not required to cut any 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 hi-tech thieves using diagnostic tools, and cannot listen for the click of a conventional security device. The Ghost Immobiliser may also be set up in the service mode, so that your vehicle can be started and driven without requiring the PIN code which is beneficial when you need to take it to the garage, or for valet parking services etc. The PIN code can be changed for additional security at anytime.
