Car Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser, an advanced system, prevents your vehicle from starting without a unique code input through buttons that are already in place. The device is unnoticeable to thieves and operates quietly.
It could help deter hotwiring, as well as newer methods such as relay thefts. You could also see an improvement in your insurance premium.
No Radio Frequencies
A ghost immobiliser is different from a conventional one in that it doesn't transmit radio frequency, making it impossible for thieves to bypass the device with a simple tool for cloning. Ghost immobilisers stop your car from starting even if the thief has cloned or taken your key.
A ghost immobiliser could also be used to stop relay attacks. The signal from your keyfob is amplified to trick the system into allowing your car to begin. The Ghost can detect this and won't start your vehicle, requiring you to enter your PIN code. This is a great way to combat tech-savvy car thieves who are armed with affordable and easy-to-use equipment to clone your vehicle.
The Ghost can be installed in a discreet manner and will not cause damage to your vehicle. It will only work when the correct pin sequence has been entered. The Ghost will only be discovered by the person who installed it, which means that no one can access your vehicle until they know your pin code. Some systems allow owners to set up valet or service mode, which allows them to temporarily allow another person to drive the vehicle without having to disclose their pin number, thereby protecting them from opportunistic thieves.
The Ghost is not just easy to use and fast to dearm, it can be connected to a car tracker, so you can track your vehicle. Some insurance companies offer discounts on car insurance for vehicles with Ghosts installed. This is great news as it enhances the security of your vehicle.
The Ghost immobiliser, although not Thatcham certified, is an aftermarket product that has been evaluated independently and found to work. Ask the seller of a pre-owned vehicle with the Ghost installed if they can transfer it to your car. This will make your new car more secure than if the previous owner hadn't transferred it.
No Circuit Cuts
Even if your car is stolen, thieves won't be able to unlock it. The thieves must be aware of the buttons used to unlock the vehicle and they won't be able to do that without knowing the sequences. This will further deter them and ensure that they do not attempt the theft in the first place since they may not be able to escape with the vehicle.
If you have an GPS tracker installed in your Ghost can also function as an anti-theft gadget since it can send a signal to the tracker that will trigger a siren and warn the tracker of an attempts to steal. This feature can be turned on at any time from your online dashboard.
When you connect your Ghost to your CAN data network, it will identify the vehicle and its owner through the unique pin code that is programmed at the time of installation. This enables the device to directly communicate with the ECU of your car and immobilise its engine. This means that the engine will only be turned on if it is authorized by the vehicle owner or someone who has a valid PIN.
Since the pin code is constructed from existing buttons within easy reach of the driver (such as cruise control and stereo mute) it remains mathematically impossible to be deciphered by potential thieves. Your engineer will also supply you with an emergency Pin Code override card which is similar to scratch-off lottery tickets and simply needs to be scratched off to reveal the code and the directions.
Unlike traditional immobilisers which are often identified by thieves using diagnostics to read the relay of the immobiliser and the relay, your Ghost is not detected by these methods because it doesn't utilize circuit cuts or radio frequencies. This means it is not affected by the latest techniques used by organized groups of thieves that specialize in code-grabbing and RF scanning. It's a lifetime item that is easily removed from your vehicle when you sell it. This means that you won't lose any security you've invested in.
No Key Fobs
In the UK the UK, vehicle theft is on the rise. Proactive measures are needed to guard your valuable vehicles from criminals who are opportunistic. The innovative Ghost Immobiliser from Autowatch offers a solid defense against key cloning, hacking and signal relay attacks.

As a result, it is unaffected by signal interception and is unable to be activated by stolen or compromised remotes. It's also tamperproof and does not have any external wiring, making it difficult to remove or disable.
It shields your pride and joy from key-long, hacking and key theft by stopping the engine from starting until you input a unique PIN code. This is achieved by utilising existing buttons in the vehicle like those found on the steering wheel, door panels and centre consoles to create a customized disarm sequence that can be up to 20 presses (like entering a PIN into your smartphone).
This is the only way for you to start your engine and it will only work if you have entered the correct pin code. This makes it very difficult for thieves to steal your vehicle and is simple to use. If you're concerned about losing your pin code or forgetting your pin code, you can ask the installer to supply you with a driver's card that permits you to operate the car as normal.
The Ghost immobiliser is not detected by diagnostic equipment, such as RF scanners or other devices used by thieves. This installation that is stealthy improves the effectiveness of the system, and permits it to be put in a location that is difficult for thieves.

No Damage
You can be confident that your vehicle is protected from cloning and hacking as well as key-fob theft, in addition to other typical theft methods, if equipped with an immobiliser. This is particularly crucial if you've spent a an enormous amount of time and money in customising your vehicle or own an expensive or rare model. Ghost immobilisers operate silently and do not require any additional parts or installation.
The system is activated by buttons on your steering wheel, center console or door panels. It allows you to create a pin code sequence which must be entered before the engine can be started. You can change the sequence at anytime. This means that even if someone knows your pin number, they are not able to start your car. It is also easy to deactivate the device in an unservice valet mode so that your vehicle can be removed to be cleaned, serviced or for an MOT without being activated.
This means that even if your car is stolen or cloned, the thief will not be in a position to start your car and will be caught in the act. The system will also notify you of any tampering of the wiring in your vehicle, such as signal interception or cutting. This information can be sent to your phone so that you're always aware of the security situation of your vehicle.
However, there may come a time that you're looking to take off or disable the Ghost Immobiliser, perhaps for maintenance or for resale. In this scenario you'll need to be extra careful not to damage your vehicle's wiring. Wearing protective gloves and flashlights is recommended during this process. It is also worth referring to any installation documents or user manuals you may have to determine the specific location of the device.
Then, you can connect the battery to your vehicle and test it to make sure that the immobiliser is working correctly and all electrical components are functioning in the way you intended. The next step is to insulate and join any wires that were cut by using electrical tape or soldering where necessary. Make sure that there are no exposed wires and that any dangling cables are secured using zip ties or another appropriate method. To ensure that your vehicle won't be damaged during the removal process, you should schedule a professional vehicle checkup.
