Ghost Immobiliser Review
As the number of car thefts increases consumers are constantly searching for ways to prevent it. The ghost immobiliser is an innovative device that is able to do exactly that.
It's the first-ever aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that shields your vehicle from key cloning, hacking or keyless entry and even stops thieves driving away with your vehicle.
No Faraday Bags and Radio Signals
Ghost immobilisers, unlike other physical measures to prevent theft, such as wheel locks or steering wheel clamps, are designed to be invisible and covert. They are integrated into car buttons and offer protection against key copying. Ghost immobilisers prevent the engine from running until you enter a pre-determined PIN code along with your key fob. This code can be up to 20 presses long and can be alterable by the driver through an app or on the vehicle's buttons. If you lose your pin, a button breaks or you sell your vehicle, there's an emergency PIN code unique to each device that can be used to reset the system.
Ghost immobilisers come with the benefit of being undetectable by devices for diagnostics and do not emit radio frequency signals. This means that thieves can't employ sophisticated scanning technology to identify the security device. They also make use of CAN data network, which does not require wire cutting for installation and is more quiet.
Although ghost immobilisers are not Thatcham approved but they are TASSA approved and some insurers offer reduced rates for insurance on vehicles with an aftermarket immobiliser. However, they are accepted as an additional layer of security that could deter thieves.
Autowatch Ghost is unlike factory-fitted immobilisers because it can be used with a wide range of vehicles, including motorhomes and vans. It can also be used with electric cars, ride-on lawnmowers, and motorhomes too. This means it is much more versatile than other types of anti-theft technologies and can be paired with vehicle trackers to provide the most complete security for your car package.

No key fobs or LED indicators
Ghost immobilisers are incorporated into the wiring of your vehicle, so they are not able to be removed or removed or bypassed. It's also more difficult to hack or locate because it doesn't have key fobs or LED indicators.
The device works by linking up to your vehicles CAN (Control Area Network) system and creating an individual PIN code push sequence you decide on - which can be up to 20 digits long. This must be entered prior to when your Range Rover or Land Rover J will start. This is similar to the way you enter the pin code to protect your bank card. It is not affected by the process of cloning or ECU swapping which can disable the factory immobiliser.
Because it utilizes your vehicle's existing buttons, it is weatherproof and incredibly small, meaning that it is nearly impossible for thieves to spot. It also communicates with the CAN data bus and so it operates in a quiet manner, making it difficult to identify. This makes the device a perfect complement to your security systems and is particularly useful since it can be used in conjunction with other Autowatch technologies, such as the Ghost Bluetooth tag, which allows you to start your car without the need to enter your PIN or use the ghost app.
The ghost immobiliser has the advantage of not leaving visible marks on your vehicle. This could be a problem with other security products that are sold aftermarket. This is especially attractive to those who want to keep their vehicle as original as possible when it comes time to sell.

Simple PIN Code Change Process
Unlike key fobs which require an unlock code to open the ECU and then start your car, ghost immobilisers communicate with the vehicle's ECU via its own CAN data network. This makes them undetectable by diagnostic tools, inaudible and invulnerable to hack. Additionally, the technology used in these systems ensures that they are able to be fitted to a wide range of vehicles including motorhomes, trucks and plant machinery.
Our Autowatch Ghost system was developed to protect you completely from theft. It will stop your vehicle from being started unless you have either the unique PIN or smartphone application with the ghost application installed on it. This is a incredibly high level of security that can secure your vehicle from hacking, key cloning and ECU swapping.
It is so secure as it does not require any additional elements like key fobs or LED indicators. Instead, the device uses your existing buttons on your steering wheel and door panels to generate an adjustable sequence that needs to be entered before the car can begin. This could be up to 20 times long and is similar to the PIN number on credit card.
As well as this it is completely hidden and will not reveal the location of the device to thieves. Additionally, it does not make use of radio signals and operates on the CAN data network making it completely undetectable to thieves using RF scanners.
A lot of thieves attempt to remove the CAN chip from the ECU or even replace it to avoid detection. However this technique is only attainable by experts who have access to the right equipment. Ghost immobilisers can safeguard your pride against many different kinds of vehicle thefts.
Additionally, it can be linked to an iPhone that you'll need to have if you are planning to start the engine when your car is parked at home or work. The app will recognize the phone and allow you to drive with no needing a PIN code. This feature is available for any version of Autowatch Ghost, and you can pair as many smartphones with it as you like.

The Autowatch Ghost is compatible with many different vehicles. It can be fitted to motorhomes and caravans, motorcycles and ride-on lawn mowers. Immobilisers can be installed on any vehicle so long as it has an energy source.
The Ghost Immobiliser uses the buttons on your vehicle's original key fob to create an unintentional disarm sequence (like a PIN code) that needs to be entered before the engine can be started. The driver is able to modify the sequence at anytime. It can contain up to 20 actions. This is a much more secure method of security than using the key fob on its own because it ensures that nobody else will be able to operate your vehicle. It also prevents thiefs from hacking the system to gain access to your key code or the information transmitted to the vehicle's ECU from it.
