Ghost Immobiliser Review

Consumers are always trying to find ways to prevent car theft as it increases. Ghost immobilisers are a perfect solution for that.

It's the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser, which protects 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, in contrast to other physical measures to prevent theft, such as wheel locks or steering wheel clamps, are designed to be undetectable and hidden. They are built into car buttons and offer protection against key cloning. A ghost immobiliser will prevent the engine from beginning until you input a PIN code along with your key fob. This PIN code is up to 20 presses long and can be changed by the driver using an app or buttons on the vehicle. If you forget your pin, a button breaks or you sell your car, there's an emergency PIN code specific to every device that can be used to reset the system.

Ghost immobilisers come with the benefit of not being detected by devices for diagnostics and do not emit radio frequency signals. This means that thieves can't use sophisticated scanning techniques to detect the security device. They also use the CAN data network, which does not require wire cutting after installation and is quieter than other immobilisers.

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 fitted. However, they are regarded as an additional security measure that can deter thieves.

Contrary to immobilisers that are factory fitted, the Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is designed to work with a variety of vehicles including motorhomes, electric cars, vans, and ride-on lawnmowers. This makes it more adaptable than other anti-theft technologies and it can be used in conjunction with vehicle trackers to provide the most comprehensive car security solution.

No key fobs or LED indicators

As opposed to a lock for the wheel or other devices that are physical to prevent theft, a ghost immobilisers are integrated into the wiring of your vehicle, which means it can't be removed or removed or bypassed. It is also harder to hack or locate because it doesn't have key fobs or LED indicators.

The device functions by connecting to your vehicle's CAN (Control Area Network) system and enabling an individual PIN code push sequence that you decide on - which can be up to 20 digits long. This must be entered before your Range Rover or Land Rover J will begin. This is similar to the method in which you would enter a pin code on your bank card to protect it. It's also not affected by cloning or ECU swapping which can disable the factory immobiliser.

Since it is based on your vehicle's buttons, it is weatherproof and extremely small which makes it almost impossible for a thief to recognize. It also communicates with CAN data bus, which means that it operates silently, again making it difficult to identify. This makes the device a perfect addition to your security systems and Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is particularly useful since it can be used alongside other Autowatch technologies like the Ghost Bluetooth tag, which allows you to start your car without having to enter your PIN or the ghost app.

Another benefit of the ghost immobiliser is that it does not leave visible marks on the interior of your car which is an issue with some other security products sold on the market. This is particularly appealing to those who wish to keep their pride and joy as original as possible to sell.

Simple PIN Code Change Process

Unlike key fobs which require codes to unlock the ECU and then start your car, ghost immobilisers communicate with the car's ECU through its own CAN data network. They are therefore undetectable, quiet and inaccessible to diagnostic tools. Additionally, the technology used in these systems means that they are able to be fitted to a wide range of vehicles such as trucks, motorhomes and plant machinery.

Our Autowatch Ghost system was designed to offer complete protection against theft. It blocks your vehicle from being started without a unique PIN code or the smartphone app that has the Ghost app installed. This is an extremely secure level of security that will help to secure your vehicle from hacking, key cloning and ECU swapping.

It's safe because it does not require any additional components like key fobs or LED indicators. The device utilizes the buttons on your door panels and steering wheel instead of creating the sequence that is changed before your car starts. This could be up to 20 steps long and is similar to a PIN code that is on your credit card.

The device is also completely hidden, so that thieves are unable to locate it. Furthermore, it doesn't make use of radio signals and operates on the CAN data network, which makes it unnoticeable to thieves using RF scanning devices.

Many car thieves try to remove the chip from the CAN or replace it in the ECU to be able to avoid detection. However, this technique is only possible for professionals with access to specialised tools. This is the reason why the ghost immobiliser is efficient and can be used to safeguard your vehicle from various kinds of vehicle thefts.

It can also be paired with an iPhone or an iPhone, which you'll require if you plan to start your car once it is parked at work or Autowatch Ghost immobiliser home. This allows you to access your car and drive without having to enter PIN codes as the app will recognize your phone if it is within close proximity. This functionality is available on any version of the Autowatch Ghost and can be used with any smartphone you like.

The Autowatch Ghost is compatible with many different vehicles. It can be fitted to motorhomes and caravans as well as motorcycles and ride-on lawn mowers. Immobilisers can be installed on any vehicle as long as it is powered by a power source.

The Ghost Immobiliser creates a secret disarming sequence (like a pin code) using the buttons on the original key fob that came with your vehicle. This sequence must be entered prior to you can start the engine. This could be as long as 20 actions and can be altered by the driver at anytime. This is a better method of security than using a key fob, since nobody else will be able to drive your vehicle. This prevents thieves from 'hacking the system' to gain access to the key code or information transmitted to the ECU of the vehicle from it.
