Get a Ghost Immobiliser Fitted to Protect Your Vehicle
The Autowatch Ghost is a next-generation car immobiliser that protects your vehicle from key (and keyless) theft, cloning and hacking of relays. It is a discreet device that is connected to the vehicles CAN data network and operates quietly.
It requires an PIN code that is comprised of buttons that are located on the steering column or console. It is also possible to activate for service mode - allowing the vehicle to begin for temporary use if needed.
No Radio Signals
Installing a ghost-immobiliser is a great way to protect your vehicle from key cloning or hacking. The system is hidden in the vehicle, it operates silently and does not make use of radio signals to communicate with the vehicle. This makes it difficult to be detected by thieves using radar scanners, since they don't see or hear it.
The device also stops cloning your vehicle's keyfob, by preventing communication between the vehicle's CAN data network and the keyfob. Organised car thieves often employ sophisticated code-grabbing and RF scanning technology to intercept and deactivate the security systems of cars. Ghost immobilisers are undetectable to such thieves because they do not emit any RF signals and are incorporated into the vehicle's CAN data network, which means that there are no circuit breaks during installation and fitting, making them completely undetectable.
The ghost immobiliser blocks your car from being moved and also prevents it from starting. This is ideal if you're going to be parking your car in a public area, such as at garages or at a supermarket, or if you're going hire a valet service to park your car for you. This feature can be activated by a simple app for iOS or Android phones.
Your vehicle can be found with the help of GPS trackers. This will assist with the recovery of your vehicle, should it be stolen. In recent years thieves were in a position to bypass security systems via the OBD port. However it is possible to prevent this with a ghost immobiliser that communicates directly with the vehicle's ECU through the CAN data circuit. This is invisible to diagnostic tools that are high-tech and completely silent, so that a thief can't add an additional car key or change the ECU to start the car.
The device is completely reversible and will not affect the warranty on your vehicle. If you're interested in having a ghost immobiliser installed ensure you find an TASSA (Tracker and Aftermarket Security Systems Association) approved installer. This will ensure that the installer has passed a variety of checks, including identification and CRB.
No Circuit Cuts
If you want to protect your vehicle against contactless theft, a ghost immobiliser is the best solution. The device is hidden inside your vehicle and stops the engine from beginning until certain buttons are pressed in a sequence (similarly to a PIN on your smartphone).
Since it doesn't utilize radio frequencies or key fobs to communicate, there are no lights or sounds to signal its presence. It connects to your car via the CAN data system and works silently and protects your vehicle from thieves who don't want to be seen.
Many drivers are searching for ways to shield their vehicles from theft, as car theft is on the rise. Unfortunately, theft of high-value vehicles is more common than ever, and with the right tools, thieves can strip an automobile in just hours. That's why it is important to protect your vehicle against this kind of crime by installing a ghost immobiliser from Autowatch.
Autowatch's ghost immobiliser is a powerful and unique solution to this problem. ghost immobilisers connects to your vehicle via the CAN databus and blocks the engine from starting until a distinct pin code is entered. The code is entered by pressing buttons on the steering wheel, centre console, or door panels. It can be changed at any time.
It's also extremely difficult to spot since it doesn't have any LED indicators, frequencies or any other clues that could give thieves an indication as to its presence. Additionally, it doesn't require any cutting of wires or any other devices from the aftermarket and can be deactivated remotely with the Autowatch app when you're having your car serviced or valeted.
A ghost immobiliser from Autowatch is therefore the best solution to prevent contactless thefts and protect your vehicle. It's a TASSA verified device, which means that it is recognized by large official companies such as police forces and insurance companies. We are certified installers at Car Specialist Customs and can assist you in securing your vehicle without cutting wires or add keys from the aftermarket.
No Key Fobs
A ghost immobiliser does not depend on the key fob to connect with your vehicle. Instead, it utilizes existing buttons in your car such as those found on the steering wheel or door panels to generate a unique pin code sequence that you have to enter to start your car. The system is invisible, because it doesn't emit radio signals and communicates directly with the ECU using the CAN data circuit. Diagnostic tools or keys stolen from your car cannot detect it.
Even if they have the original key fob, they'll still need to know your pin code sequence to unlock your car. The system also stops key cloning, signal jamming and device spoofing - all methods that are used by thieves to unlock cars fitted with a factory-fitted immobiliser.
A ghost immobiliser is an excellent method of protecting your vehicle from thieves, especially if you've spent lots of money and time customising it, or if you have an expensive, rare or expensive car. The system can be remotely deactivated by using an iOS or Android application. This is an excellent option for people who don't know who has their keys or where they're parked.
The ghost immobiliser is also able to safeguard your vehicle from relay-style frequency amplification. They are a common method for high-tech thieves to rob PKE-equipped vehicles, by capturing the frequency of the key fob and transmitting it to a co-conspirator who will then use a remote starter in order to get your car moving. The system stops this by disconnecting the battery on your key fob after a short period of time.
The Autowatch Ghost system comes with a host of other features to make your car more safe, such as stopping ECU swapping and key copying. By communicating with the ECU through the CAN data network, it is impossible for thieves to install new keys or swap out your ECU to bypass the system. The system will require you to enter a unique pin code to begin your vehicle. This can be done via the phone application which makes it more difficult for thieves to hack your car.
Service Mode
The equipment required to scan and clone vehicles is becoming more affordable and accessible, whether you're a veteran car thief, or just starting your criminal career. You can even purchase the complete cloning kit for your vehicle online, making it more essential than ever that you protect your vehicle with an immobiliser.
The ghost immobiliser works combination with your current key fob and prevents your vehicle from starting unless you enter a unique PIN code. This sequence is created with the help of buttons on your vehicle, such as in the steering wheel, doors, and the central console. This pin code is only accessed by you and you are the only person who can begin your car. Without this, thieves will never be able to drive your car away even if they've got your keys.
The ghost communicates with the ECU through the CAN network, which means that it's a low-risk option without a risk of harm to the vehicle. It's also a more discrete option that doesn't depend on LED indicators or key fobs. It's virtually undetectable by anyone who is not the car's owner and doesn't interfere with jamming devices or circuit cuts. It's also completely secure against keyless entry and device spoofing technology.
Ghost immobilisers will not only make it harder for thieves to steal your vehicle, but it can also lower your insurance rates. It's because there's no sign of instillation, and the insurance company will assume your vehicle is anti-theft security system that is factory-fitted in place.
