Ghost Immobiliser Review

Consumers are always trying to find ways to prevent car theft, which is on the rise. Ghost immobilisers are a revolutionary new device that can do just that.

It's the world's first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser, which protects your vehicle from key cloning, hacking or keyless entry. It also stops thieves driving away with your vehicle.

No Faraday Bags or Radio Signals

Ghost immobilisers, unlike other physical measures to prevent theft, such as steering wheel locks or wheel clamps are designed to be undetectable and concealed. They are integrated into the buttons of your vehicle, they provide protection against key hacking, cloning, ECU swapping, and even key theft. A ghost immobiliser prevents the engine from running until you enter a pre-determined PIN code in conjunction with your key fob. The PIN code can be up to 20 presses long and is modified by the driver through an app or buttons on the vehicle. If you forget your pin or a button breaks, or if you sell your vehicle, you can use an emergency PIN that is unique to each device to reset the system.

Ghost immobilisers also have the benefit cost of ghost immobiliser being unnoticeable by diagnostic equipment and do not emit radio frequency signals. This means that thieves can't use sophisticated scanning technology to identify the security device. They also use CAN data network, which doesn't require wire cutting during installation and is quieter.

Ghost immobilisers may not be Thatcham approved but they are TASSA-approved. Certain insurers will offer lower insurance rates to vehicles with an aftermarket immobiliser. However, they are recognized as an additional layer of security that can deter thieves.

Autowatch Ghost is unlike factory-fitted immobilisers because it can be used with a range of vehicles such as vans and motorhomes. It also works with electric vehicles as well as ride-on lawnmowers and motorhomes too. This means it is far more adaptable than other anti-theft devices and can be used in conjunction with vehicle trackers to provide the most complete security for your car package.

No Key Fobs or LED Indicators

As opposed to a lock for the wheel or other anti-theft devices that are physically installed, the ghost immobiliser is incorporated into the wiring of your vehicle, therefore it is not able to be removed or overridden. Furthermore, since it does not use LED indications or key-fobs it is far more difficult to locate and hack than a standard factory-installed immobiliser.

The device works by linking up to your vehicles CAN (Control Area Network) system and it will allow you to enter a unique PIN code push sequence that you select - which could be up to 20 digits long. This must be entered prior to when your Range Rover or Land Rover J will begin. This is similar to how you would enter the pin code to secure your bank card. It's also not affected by the process of cloning or ECU swapping, which would normally disable your factory immobiliser.

It is small and weatherproof, making it nearly impossible to be detected by a thief. It also communicates with CAN data bus, which means that it operates in a quiet manner, making it difficult to identify. This makes the device a perfect complement to your security systems and is particularly useful as it can be used with other Autowatch technologies like the Ghost Bluetooth tag, which allows you to start your vehicle without having to enter your PIN or the ghost app.

The ghost immobiliser has the advantage of not leaving visible marks on your vehicle. This could be a problem with other security products that are sold aftermarket. This is especially appealing to those who wish to keep their pride-and-joy as original as possible to sell.

Simple PIN Code Change Process

In contrast to key fobs, which utilize a code to unlock the ECU and start your vehicle, ghost immobilisers communicate with the car's ECU via its own CAN data network. This makes them unrecognisable by diagnostic tools, quiet and unhackable. They can be fitted to a variety of vehicles including trucks and motorhomes, as well as plant machinery.

Our Autowatch Ghost system was designed to offer complete protection against theft. It prevents your vehicle from starting without having either the unique PIN or the smartphone application with the ghost application installed on it. This is an extremely high-security level that can help protect your vehicle from hacking, key cloning and ECU swapping.

It's safe because it does not require any extra elements like key fobs or LED indicators. Instead, the device utilizes your buttons already on the steering wheel and door panels to generate an alterable sequence that has to be entered before the car will begin. It can take as long as 20 steps and is similar to the PIN number on a credit card.

As well as this the device is hidden and will not divulge the location of the device to burglars. It also does not use radio waves and works on the CAN network, which makes it completely invisible to thieves who use scanners with RF.

A lot of thieves attempt to remove the CAN chip from the ECU or even replace it to hide it, however, this method is only attainable by professionals who have access to the right equipment. This is the reason why the ghost immobiliser is so effective and can be used to safeguard your vehicle from many different kinds of vehicle thefts.

It can also be paired with an iPhone and you will require if you plan to start your car when it is parked at work or home. This allows you to enter and drive without having to enter a PIN code as the app will recognize your phone when it is within close proximity. This functionality is available for any model of Autowatch Ghost, and you can connect as many smartphones it as you like.

The Ghost Immobiliser uses the buttons on your car's original key fob to generate an unintentional disarm sequence (like a PIN code) that needs to be entered before the engine can begin. The driver is able to alter the sequence at any time. It can contain up to 20 different actions. This is a more secure method of security compared to using a key fob as nobody else will be able to drive your car. It also prevents thiefs from attempting to gain access to your key code or information that is transmitted to the vehicle's ECU from it.
