Protect Your Vehicle With a
Ghost 2 immobiliser Immobiliser
With ever increasing joy and happiness being poured into our cars, it only makes sense to safeguard them. The Autowatch Ghost
what is ghost immobiliser a discrete vehicle immobiliser which connects to your vehicles CAN data network. It operates through the ECU (your cars brain).
The device, which is similar to a pin code on a credit card, will not allow your car to move until you enter the pin code in a sequence of up to 20 presses.
No Key Fobs, LED Indications or LEDs to identify its location
The Ghost Immobiliser does not use key fobs or LED indicators, so it is virtually undetectable by anyone who enters your vehicle. The system utilizes buttons that are already in use, such as the centre console, door or steering wheel to create an unique, programmable pin code sequence that has to be entered before your vehicle starts. The system can be configured to take up to 20 presses of the buttons before the engine can begin, making it nearly impossible for thieves to duplicate your key or hack into your vehicle.
Modern car thieves use professional diagnostic tools to determine which security systems are installed in vehicles, but the Ghost does not transmit signals like the conventional security systems do. Criminals can identify the kind of security device installed in your car using sophisticated scanners for RF, code grabbing and relay attack techniques. This allows them to modify the alarm or immobiliser circuits to disable the system and escape with your vehicle.
Unlike other immobilisers on the market The
ghost 2 immobiliser near me is incorporated into your car or van's CAN data network, so it is nearly impossible to bypass and hack. The system also works with many newer car's that don't have built in keyfob security. It also works on electric vehicles in the majority of cases and will even stop the vehicle from going into "service valet mode".

No Circuit Cuts
The Ghost is an immobiliser CAN bus that protects your car better than anything else. In contrast to other aftermarket car security devices, it's not connected to key fobs or LED indicators and works by communicating directly with the vehicle's CAN system. It can then block the ECU and prevent the engine from running until a specific PIN has been entered into the steering wheel or dash buttons (brand dependent). This makes it difficult for thieves to tamper with the system using relay attacks, or
tracker any other method.
The system is equipped with the Service and Valet mode that is activated when the vehicle is in garage for servicing, or valet parking. This allows the vehicle to start temporarily while being worked on without having to hand over keys or the pin code, however it then it automatically turns off once the vehicle is back in your possession.
This makes the Ghost more secure solution for classic, sports or high-end cars that require battery isolation while parked for extended periods of time. It's also not detected by modern RF scanning and code grabbing technology, making it extremely difficult for thieves to steal or hack.

No RF Scanning
Many car thieves employ sophisticated tools to copy keys and steal vehicles. These devices are readily accessible on the internet and require no skill to operate. These cloning devices don't make use of RF scanning to identify the Ghost immobiliser.
Instead, the system utilizes the buttons on your car to create a unique pin code push sequence. This is done using the buttons you have on your steering wheel, door panels or central console. It can also be changed and does not have a PIN number like remote keys, which makes it very difficult to hack.
The Autowatch Ghost is extremely secure and simple to use. It does not require an iPhone, but can be used using a small waterproof tag or an Apple or Android App (sold separately). You can go into service mode with your mobile device and then drive away. Then you can return the vehicle to valet mode and disable your mobile. This is ideal for classic cars and luxury automobiles that are frequently brought to garages owned by dealers.
These CANBUS immobilisers can be linked to other security products like alarms and trackers (Brand dependant). This allows the user to decide whether or not they want their alarm or tracker to be the first priority over immobilisers on CAN bus. This is particularly helpful in the event you have a Thatcham approved
Tracker, as the tracker can be activated prior to the Ghost is activated.
The CANBUS immobiliser blocks codes that were sent by the original remote keys to the ECUs and BCM controllers. This stops them from activating the engine or starting the car. These systems can be used to add an extra layer of security for cars equipped with remote controls that are factory installed.
