Get a Ghost Immobiliser Fitted to Protect Your Vehicle

The Autowatch Ghost, a new generation car immobiliser that guards against key (and keys that do not have a key) thefts, clonings, and hacking relays. It is an inconspicuous device that is connected to the CAN data network of the vehicle and operates quietly.

It requires a PIN code comprised of buttons on the steering column or on the centre console. It can be activated in service mode, which lets the vehicle start temporarily if necessary.

No Radio Signals


Installing a ghost immobiliser is an excellent way to safeguard your car from hacking or key cloning. It is silent and is hidden within the vehicle and does not use radio signals to communicate. This makes it difficult for thieves to identify using radar scanners since they are unable to see or hear it.

The device also prevents the cloning of your key fob by preventing communication between the vehicle's CAN data network and the keyfob. Organised car thieves typically employ sophisticated code-grabbing and RF scanning technology to snoop and deactivate the security systems in cars. Ghost immobilisers are undetectable by such thieves since they do not emit any radio frequency signal and are incorporated into the vehicle's CAN data network. This means that there are no circuit breaks during installation and installation, making them unnoticeable.

The ghost immobiliser prevents your car from being moved and also stops it from beginning. This is ideal if you are planning to park your vehicle in a public space, like supermarkets or garages or when a valet will be parking it for you. This feature is activated with an app that is simple to use for iOS or Android phones.

With the aid of a GPS tracker your vehicle can be tracked. This will aid in the recovery of your vehicle should it be stolen. In recent years criminals have been able to bypass the security of vehicles through hacking the OBD port of the vehicle. This can be prevented by using a ghost-immobiliser that communicates directly with the ECU of the car via the data loop of the CAN. This is invisible to diagnostic tools that are high-tech and completely silent, so that a thief can't add the car's key to a new one or replace the ECU to start the vehicle.

The device can be reversibly changed and will not affect the warranty on your car. If you're looking to have a ghost immobiliser fitted ensure you find a 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.

Since it doesn't make use of radio frequencies or key fobs to communicate, there are no lights or sounds to signal its presence. Instead it connects to your vehicle via the CAN data network and operates quietly, keeping your vehicle secure from thieves who don't want to be caught.

Instead, it makes use of buttons that are already present within your car like those on the steering wheel or door panels to create an individual pin code sequence that you need to enter to start your car. The system is completely invisible because it doesn't emit radio signals and communicates with the ECU via the data circuit of CAN, which means it isn't detected by diagnostic tools or keys stolen.

This means that even if a burglar have the original key fob they'll need the exact pin code sequence to start your vehicle. The system also stops key blocking, signal jamming and device spoofing, all methods used by thieves to unlock cars with factory-fitted immobiliser.

The system can be deactivated remotely using an iOS or Android application. This is a fantastic option for people who aren't sure who has their keys or where they're parking.

The ghost immobiliser is also able to protect your vehicle against relay-style frequency amplification. These are a popular way for thieves with high-tech devices to steal 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 to get your car moving. The system can stop this from happening by disconnecting the battery from your key fob after a couple of minutes of inactivity.
