Get a Ghost Immobiliser Fitted to Protect Your Vehicle
The Autowatch Ghost, a new generation car immobiliser is a security device that protects against key (and keys without keys) thefts, clonings and relay hacking. It is a discreet device which is connected to the vehicle's CAN data network and operates quietly.
It requires the use of a PIN code that is comprised of buttons on the steering column or on the centre console. It can be activated in service mode, allowing the vehicle to start briefly in the event of a need.
No Radio Signals
Installing a ghost immobiliser can be an excellent way to safeguard your vehicle from key cloning or hacking. The system is hidden in the vehicle, it operates silently and does not use radio signals to communicate with the vehicle. This makes it difficult for thieves to detect using radar scanning devices as they cannot see or hear it.
It also stops the cloning of your key fob by preventing the communication between the vehicle's CAN data network and the keyfob. Organised car thief gangs will often employ sophisticated codes and RF scanning technology to intercept and deactivate security systems in vehicles. Ghost immobilisers, however, are undetectable by such thieves, as they don't emit any RF signal and are integrated into the vehicle's CAN data network. This means that there are no circuit breaks during installation or fitment, making them completely inaccessible.
The ghost immobiliser stops your vehicle from moving and also stops it from starting. This is ideal if you are going to park your vehicle in a public area such as supermarkets or garages or in the event that a valet is parking it for you. This feature can be activated by a simple app for an iOS or Android phone.
With car ghost immobiliser of a GPS tracker, your vehicle can also be tracked. This can assist you in recovering your vehicle if it's stolen. In recent years thieves were able to bypass vehicle security systems through the OBD port. However, this can be avoided by using a ghost immobiliser which communicates directly with the car's ECU through the CAN data circuit. This is not visible to high-tech diagnostics tools and completely silent, so that thieves cannot add a new key or replace the ECU in order to start the vehicle.
The device is fully reversible and will not affect the warranty of your vehicle. If you want to get a ghost immobiliser installed, look for an TASSA (Tracker and Aftermarket Security Systems Association) approved installer. This will confirm that the installer has passed a string of checks including the identification of the installer and a CRB.
No Circuit Cuts
When it comes to safeguarding your vehicle from theft through contactless, ghost immobilisers are the best solution. This device is hidden in your vehicle and stops the engine from starting until certain buttons are pressed sequentially (similarly to the PIN number on your smartphone).
It does not use radio frequency or key fobs to communicate, so there is no sound or light to signal its presence. It connects to your car via the CAN data system and works in silence to protect your vehicle from thieves who don't want to be seen.
With car theft increasing many drivers are searching for a way to prevent their vehicle from being stolen. Unfortunately, stealing in demand vehicles is more prevalent than ever, and with the right equipment thieves can steal of a vehicle in just a few hours. It is therefore essential to guard your car from this crime by installing a ghost immobiliser.
Autowatch's ghost immobiliser is a powerful and unique solution to this issue. It makes use of the CAN data bus to connect to your vehicle, and stop the engine from beginning until you enter a pre-set pin code that is unique to your. The code can be entered using the buttons that are already on your steering wheel, centre console or door panels, and is also easily changed if necessary.
It's also extremely difficult to detect as it doesn't have any LED indicators, frequency, or any other clues to provide thieves with a clue to its presence. Furthermore, it does not require cutting wires or any other devices from the aftermarket, and can be disarmed remotely with the Autowatch app if you're having your vehicle serviced or valeted.
Ghost immobilisers from Autowatch is therefore the best solution to stop thefts via contactless and secure your vehicle. It is an TASSA verified device, meaning that it's recognised by large authorities like police and insurance companies. We are approved 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 doesn't depend on the standard key fob to communicate with the vehicle. It uses buttons on your car, such as the ones on the steering wheels and door panels, to create a unique code sequence you must enter to start your car. The system is completely invisible, because it doesn't emit radio signals, and instead communicates directly with the ECU through the CAN data circuit. Diagnostic tools or keys stolen from your car cannot detect it.
This means that even if the thieves have the original key fob, they will need to know the exact pin code sequence to start your car. The system also stops key cloning, signal jamming and device spoofing, all methods employed by thieves to unlock cars with factory-fitted immobiliser.
If you've put an enormous amount of time and money into personalising your car, or you have a rare or expensive vehicle, a ghost immobiliser can aid in keeping it safe from thieves. The system can be remotely deactivated by using a mobile application on iOS and Android, which is a great feature if you're not sure who is holding your keys or where your car is parked.
Another useful feature of the ghost immobiliser is that they can protect your vehicle from frequency amplification attacks that mimic relays. This is a common method for thieves with high-tech devices who wish to take over PKE equipped vehicles. They capture the frequency of the keyfob and send it to a coconspirator, who then uses the remote starter to start your vehicle. The system can stop this from happening by disconnecting the battery from your key fob after a couple of minutes of inactivity.
The Autowatch Ghost system comes with numerous other features that can help make your vehicle more secure. These include preventing ECU swapping key cloning, key swapping and more. The CAN data network communicates with the ECU and makes it difficult for thieves to swap the ECU or add new keys to circumvent the system. The system will require you to enter a unique pin number to begin your car. This can be done through the phone application which makes it more difficult for thieves to hack your vehicle.
Service Mode
No matter if you're an experienced burglar or just beginning on the criminal career path, the equipment you need to scan and clone your vehicle is becoming more affordable and more accessible to purchase. In fact, you can buy complete cloning kits for your vehicle from the internet which makes it more essential than ever to safeguard your vehicle by installing a ghost immobiliser.
A ghost immobiliser is an invisible device that functions alongside your existing key fob to stop your vehicle from being started unless an individual PIN code sequence is entered. This sequence can be created by pressing buttons on your vehicle, such as those located in the steering wheel or the door panels. Only you are aware of this pin code & so only you can turn on the engine. This pin code is the only way thieves are able to steal your car even if you've given them keys.
The ghost communicates with the ECU via the CAN network, which means it's a low-risk installation with no risk of damage to the vehicle. It's also a discrete alternative, since it does not depend on key fobs or LED indicators. It's almost invisible to anyone that isn't the owner of the vehicle, and it's not affected by jamming devices and circuit cuts, or by code grabbing technology. It's also completely secure against keyless entry and device spoofing technologies.
As well as making it more difficult for thieves to take your car as well as making it harder for thieves to steal your vehicle, a ghost immobiliser may aid in reducing your insurance premiums. It's because there is no evidence of instillation, and the insurance company will assume your car has a standard anti-theft system that's factory-fitted into place.
