Get a Ghost Immobiliser Fitted to Protect Your Vehicle
The Autowatch Ghost is a next-generation car immobiliser that safeguards your vehicle against key (and keyless) theft, cloning, and relay hacking. It is a discrete device which is connected to the vehicles CAN data network and operates quietly.
It requires the use of a PIN code made up of buttons located on the steering column or centre console. It is also possible to activate for service mode - allowing the vehicle to start for temporary use in the event of a need.
No Radio Signals
Installing a ghost immobiliser can be a great way to protect your vehicle from hacking or key cloning. It is silent and hidden within the vehicle and does not make use of radio signals to communicate. This makes it difficult to be detected by thieves using radar scanners, as they can't see it or hear it.
The device also prevents the cloning of your key fob by blocking communication between the vehicle's CAN data network and the keyfob. Car thief gangs that are organized typically employ sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing technology to snoop on and disable security systems in vehicles. Ghost immobilisers, however, are not detected by thieves, as they don't emit any RF signal and are integrated into the vehicle's CAN data network. This means that there aren't any circuit breaks during installation or installation, which makes them inaccessible.
As well as stopping your car from beginning and stopping it from starting, the ghost immobiliser will also stop your car being moved. This is ideal if you are planning to park your car in a public place, like supermarkets or garages, or if a valet will be parking it for you. This feature can be activated by an easy app for iOS or Android phones.
Your vehicle can be tracked through GPS trackers. This will aid in the recovery of your vehicle, should it be stolen. In recent times thieves have been capable of evading 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 invisible to hi-tech diagnostics tools, and is totally silent so that a thief cannot add a new key or replace the ECU to start the car.
The device is completely reversible, and it does not impact the warranty on your car. If you want to get an immobiliser that is ghost-proof, look for a TASSA (Tracker and Aftermarket Security Systems Association) approved installer. This will confirm that the installer has passed a series of tests, including identification and CRB.
No Circuit Cuts
If you want to protect your vehicle from theft through contactless, a ghost immobiliser is the ideal solution. The device is hidden in a concealed location inside your car. It works by preventing the engine from being started unless certain buttons inside your vehicle are pressed in a specific sequence (similar to a PIN code on your smartphone).
Since it doesn't make use of radio frequencies or key fobs to communicate, there are no indicators or sounds to signal its presence. Instead it connects to your vehicle using the CAN data network, and works silently, keeping your vehicle secure from thieves who don't want to be caught.
Many drivers are looking for ways to shield their vehicles from theft since car theft is on the rise. The theft of vehicles that are in high demand is on the rise and with the proper tools, thieves can slash off a vehicle in just hours. This is why it's important to safeguard your vehicle from this kind of crime by installing a ghost immobiliser from Autowatch.
A ghost immobiliser from Autowatch is a unique and effective solution to this problem. It connects to your vehicle through the CAN databus and stops the engine from starting until a distinct pin code is entered. The code can be entered using buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console or doors. It can be changed at any time.
It's also very difficult to spot, since it does not have any LED indicators, a frequency or other clues that can give thieves a clue as to its existence. It does not require wire cutting or any additional aftermarket devices. It is also possible to disable it remotely via the Autowatch App while having your vehicle maintained.
In the end an immobiliser that is ghost-proof from Autowatch is the best solution to stop theft from contactless and securing your vehicle. It is an TASSA certified device, which means that it's recognised by large authorities like insurance providers and police forces. At Car Specialist Customs, we are certified installers of this unique system. We can help you secure your vehicle without the need to install additional keys or wires.
No Key Fobs
A ghost immobiliser does not rely on the standard key fob for communication with the vehicle. Instead, it uses the buttons you have in your car such as those on the steering wheel or door panels to generate an individual pin code sequence you have to enter to start your vehicle. The system is invisibly because it doesn't emit radio signals and communicates directly with the ECU through the CAN data circuit. Diagnostic tools or stolen keys are unable to detect it.
This means that even if the thieves have your original key fob, they will need to know the exact pin code sequence in order to successfully start your vehicle. The system also prevents key cloning, signal jamming and device spoofing - all methods that are employed by thieves to unlock cars with factory-fitted immobiliser.
A ghost immobiliser is an excellent way to safeguard your vehicle from thieves, especially if you've spent lots of money and time customising it or have an expensive, rare or valuable vehicle. The system can be remotely disarmed using a mobile app on iOS and Android and is a great feature if you're not sure who has your keys or where your car is parked.
The ghost immobiliser is also able to protect your vehicle against relay-style frequency amplification. This is a common method for high-tech thieves who want to steal PKE equipped vehicles. They record the frequency of the key fob and transmit it to a coconspirator who then uses the remote starter to start your car. The system will stop this from happening by removing the battery from the key fob after a couple of minutes of inactivity.
ghost immobiliser installation comes with many other features that help to ensure your car is secure, such as preventing ECU swapping and key cloning. By communicating with the ECU via the CAN data network it is not possible for thieves to create new keys or swap out your ECU to circumvent the system. The system requires an unique pin code to start your vehicle which can be entered using the phone app, making it difficult for thieves to gain access to your vehicle.
Service Mode
Whether you're an experienced car thief or just starting out on the criminal career path, the equipment you need to scan and clone your vehicle is getting more affordable and easier to obtain. You can also purchase a complete cloning kit for your vehicle online, which makes it more important than ever to protect your vehicle by putting it in an immobiliser.
The ghost immobiliser works in conjunction with your current key fob, and stops your vehicle from starting until you enter a unique pin code. The sequence is created by using buttons present on your vehicle such as those in the steering wheel doors, and the centre console. This pin code is only recognized by you and you are the only one who can start your car. Without this, thieves will never be able to drive your car away even if they have your keys.
The ghost communicates with the ECU through the CAN network, which means that it's a low-risk option without the risk of causing damage to the vehicle. It's also a less noticeable alternative that doesn't rely on LED indicators or key fobs. 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 technology that grabs codes. It is also completely safe against keyless entry and device spoofing technologies.
A ghost immobiliser will not only make it more difficult for thieves to take your vehicle, but also reduce the cost of insurance. It's because there's no indication of installation, therefore the insurance company will assume that you have a standard anti-theft system installed.
