Get a Ghost Immobiliser Fitted to Protect Your Vehicle
The Autowatch Ghost is a next generation car immobiliser that protects your vehicle against key (and keyless) theft, cloning and relay hacking. It is a discrete device that is connected to the CAN data networks of the vehicle and operates quietly.
It operates by requiring an PIN code sequence consisting of buttons on the steering wheel or on the centre console to control it. It can also be activated for service mode - allowing the vehicle to begin for temporary use in the event of a need.
No Radio Signals
Installing a ghost immobiliser is an excellent way to safeguard your car from hacking or key cloning. The system is silent, hidden inside the vehicle, and does not use radio signals to communicate. This makes it very difficult to be detected by thieves using radar scanning devices, since they don't see or hear it.
The device also stops the cloning process of your car's key fob by blocking it from communicating with your car's on-board CAN data network. Criminal gangs of organized car thieves often use sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing technology to intercept and deactivate security systems in vehicles. Ghost immobilisers, however, are undetectable to such thieves since they do not emit any RF signals and are integrated into the vehicles CAN data network, which means there are no circuit cuts during installation and fitting, which makes them totally inaccessible.
The ghost immobiliser prevents your car from being moved and also stops it from beginning. This is ideal if you will park your vehicle in a public space such as supermarkets or garages, or in the event that a valet is parking it for you. This feature can be turned on by a simple app for iOS or Android phones.
Your vehicle can be tracked by using GPS trackers. This will assist with the recovery of your vehicle in the event of theft. In recent years, thieves have been able to bypass the security of vehicles through hacking the OBD port of the vehicle. This can be avoided by using a ghost immobiliser which communicates directly with the ECU of the car via the data loop of the CAN. This is invisible to high-tech diagnostic tools and completely quiet, which means that thieves are unable to insert an additional car key or replace the ECU to start the vehicle.
The device is removable and will not affect the warranty of your vehicle. If you're interested in a ghost immobiliser, be sure you choose a TASSA approved installer. This will ensure the installer has passed a string of checks including identification and CRB.
No Circuit Cuts
A ghost immobiliser will protect your car from contactless theft. This discreet device is installed in a secure location in your car, and works by preventing the engine from starting unless certain buttons within your vehicle are pressed in a specific sequence (similar to a PIN number on your smartphone).
As it doesn't use radio frequencies or key fobs to communicate, there are no indicators or sounds to give away its presence. It connects to your vehicle through the CAN data network and works in silence and protects your vehicle from thieves who don't want to be seen.
With car theft on the rise many drivers are searching for a way to prevent their vehicle from being stolen. The theft of vehicles that are in high demand is on the rise, and with the right equipment, thieves can strip down a vehicle within hours. It is therefore important to protect your car against this crime by installing a ghost immobiliser.
Autowatch's ghost immobiliser is an effective and unique solution to this issue. It uses the CAN data bus to connect with your vehicle and block the engine from starting until you enter a pre-set pin number that is unique to your. The code can be entered by using existing buttons on your steering wheel, centre console or door panels. It can also easily changed if necessary.
It is also incredibly hard to detect, as it does not have any LED indicators, a frequency, or other clues that can give thieves a clue as to its existence. Furthermore, it does not require any cutting of wires or any other devices from the aftermarket and can be deactivated remotely using the Autowatch app in the event that you're having your vehicle serviced or valeted.
In the end, a ghost immobiliser from Autowatch is the perfect solution for preventing contactless theft and also securing your vehicle. It's a TASSA-certified device, which means it is recognized by major businesses like insurance providers and police forces. We are approved installers at Car Specialist Customs and can help you secure your vehicle without having to cut wires or insert keys from the aftermarket.
No Key Fobs
A ghost immobiliser does not rely on the standard key fob for communication with the vehicle. Instead, it makes use of the buttons you have in your car, such as those on the steering wheel and door panels to create a unique pin code sequence that you have to enter in order to start your car. The system is invisible, since it doesn't emit radio signals and communicates directly with the ECU by using the CAN data circuit. Diagnostic tools or stolen keys are unable to detect it.
This means that even if thieves have your original key fob, they'll need the exact pin code sequence to start your car. The system also prevents key cloning and device-spoofing and signal jamming the methods used by thieves to unlock vehicles fitted with an immobiliser.
If you've spent an enormous amount of time and money personalising your vehicle, or have a unique or costly vehicle, a ghost immobiliser can aid in keeping it safe from theft. 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 is holding keys to your vehicle or where the car is parked.
The ghost immobiliser also protect your vehicle against relay-style frequency amplifying. This is a popular method for high-tech thieves who want to steal PKE equipped vehicles. They record the frequency of the keyfob and transmit it to a coconspirator, who then uses the remote starter to start your car. The system stops this by cutting off the battery of your key fob after a short period of time.
The Autowatch Ghost system comes with a host of other features to ensure your car is secure, including the ability to stop ECU swapping and key cloning. The CAN data network is able to communicate with the ECU which makes it impossible for thieves to swap the ECU or add new keys to bypass the system. The system will require you to enter an individual pin code in order to start your car. This can be accomplished using the phone app which makes it more difficult for thieves to break into your car.
Service Mode
If you're a seasoned car burglar or just beginning on the path to a criminal career the equipment you require to scan & clone vehicles is becoming more affordable and more accessible to purchase. You can also purchase a the entire cloning kit to your vehicle online, which makes it more important than ever that you protect your vehicle with an immobiliser.
The ghost immobiliser works in conjunction with your current key fob to prevent your vehicle from starting unless you enter a unique PIN code. This sequence is generated using buttons that are present in your vehicle, such as in the steering wheel door panels and central console. Only you know this pin code, and only you can turn on the engine. This pin code is the only way thieves can drive away your vehicle, even if you have given them your keys.
The ghost communicates with the ECU via the CAN network, meaning that it's a low-risk system without a risk of harm to the vehicle. It's also a more discrete option that doesn't rely on LED indicators or key fobs. It's virtually unnoticeable to anyone other than the owner of the vehicle, and is not affected by jamming devices such as circuit car ghost immobiliser cuts or technology that grabs codes. Furthermore, it's secured against keyless entry and devices that spoof your device.
In addition to making it harder for thieves to take your car, a ghost immobiliser can aid in reducing the cost of insurance. It's because there's no evidence of installation, and your insurance company will assume that you have an anti-theft system installed.
