Get a Ghost Immobiliser Fitted to Protect Your Vehicle
The Autowatch Ghost, a new generation car immobiliser that guards against key (and keys that do not have a key) thefts, clonings, and relay hacking. It is an unobtrusive device that is connected to the CAN data network of the vehicle and operates quietly.
It requires an PIN code made up of buttons located on the steering column or console. It can also be set in service mode, which allows the vehicle to start temporarily for use when needed.
No Radio Signals
If you want to protect your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and theft, installing a ghost immobiliser is a great method to do it. The system is concealed inside the vehicle, operates in a silent manner and does not utilize radio signals to communicate with the vehicle. This makes it difficult for thieves to spot using radar scanners as they cannot see or hear it.
The device also blocks the cloning process of your car's keyfob by preventing it from communicating with the car's on-board CAN data network. Organised car thief gangs will often employ sophisticated RF scanning and code grabbing technology to deactivate and intercept security systems in vehicles. Ghost immobilisers, however, are inaccessible to thieves as they don't emit any RF signals and are integrated into the vehicle's CAN data network, which means there are no circuit breaks during installation and fitting, making them completely unnoticeable.
The ghost immobiliser blocks your vehicle from being moved and also prevents it from beginning. This is a great option if are planning to park your vehicle in a public space such as supermarkets or garages or when a valet will be parking it for you. This feature can be activated by a simple app for an iOS or Android phone.
Your vehicle can be tracked through GPS trackers. This will assist with the recovery of your vehicle should it be stolen. In recent times thieves were capable of evading security systems via the OBD port. This can be avoided by using a ghost immobiliser that communicates directly with the ECU of the vehicle through the CAN data loop. This is invisible to high-tech diagnostic tools and completely silent, meaning that a thief can't add a new car key or replace the ECU to start the car.
The device is adjustable and won't affect the warranty of your vehicle. If you're interested in having a ghost immobiliser fitted, look for a TASSA (Tracker and Aftermarket Security Systems Association) approved installer. This will ensure the installer has passed a string of tests, including identity and CRB.
No Circuit Cuts
A ghost immobiliser can protect your car from contactless theft. It is concealed in your vehicle and stops the engine from starting until certain buttons are pressed in sequence (similarly to a PIN that you use on your smartphone).
It does not use radio frequency or key fobs to communicate therefore there is no lighting or noise to indicate its presence. It connects to your vehicle through the CAN data system and operates in complete silence to protect your vehicle from thieves who don't want to be noticed.
With car theft on the rise many drivers are searching for a way to protect their vehicle from being taken. The theft of vehicles that are in high demand is increasing, and with the right equipment, thieves can take down a vehicle within hours. This is why it's crucial to secure your vehicle from this type of crime with an immobiliser that is ghostly from Autowatch.
A ghost immobiliser from Autowatch is a unique and effective solution to this problem.

The code is entered using buttons on the steering wheel, centre console, or door panels. It can be changed at any time.
It's also extremely difficult to identify as it has no LED indicators, frequencies or any other clues that could give thieves a hint as to its presence.

No Key Fobs
A ghost immobiliser does not rely on the standard key fob to communication with the vehicle. It makes use of buttons on your car, for instance those on the steering wheel and door panels, to create an unique code sequence that you need to enter in order to start your vehicle. The system is completely invisible as it doesn't emit any radio signals and communicates with the ECU via the CAN data circuit, which means it cannot be detected by diagnostic tools or stolen keys.
This means that even if thieves have the original key fob, they will need to know the exact pin code sequence to successfully start your vehicle. The system also stops key cloning, signal jamming and device spoofing - all methods that are employed by thieves to unlock cars with factory-fitted immobiliser.
If you've put lots of time and money into the design of your car, or you have a unique or costly vehicle and a ghost immobiliser could help to keep it safe from thieves. The system can be remotely deactivated using a mobile app on iOS and Android, which is a great feature if you're not sure who has keys to your vehicle or where the car is parked.
Another benefit of the ghost immobiliser is that they can safeguard your vehicle from relay-style frequency amplification attacks. This is a very popular technique for high-tech thieves who want to steal PKE equipped vehicles. They record the frequency of the keyfob, and send it to a coconspirator who then uses the remote starter to start your vehicle. The system can stop ghost car immobiliser this from happening by removing the battery from the key fob after a few minutes of inactivity.
The Autowatch Ghost system also has numerous other features to make your car more secure, such as preventing ECU swapping and key cloning. The CAN data network communicates with the ECU which makes it impossible for thieves to swap the ECU or even add keys to bypass the system. The system requires an unique pin code to begin your car, which is entered via the phone app, making it difficult for thieves to hack into your car.
Service Mode

You can even buy a the entire cloning kit to your vehicle online, making it more essential than ever that you protect your vehicle by putting it in an immobiliser.
The ghost immobiliser functions in conjunction with your current key fob and prevents your vehicle from starting unless you enter a unique PIN. This sequence is created using buttons present on your vehicle, such as in the steering wheel, door panels and central console. Only you have this pin code & so only you can turn on the engine. This pin code is the only way that thieves can steal your car even if you've given them keys.
The ghost communicates with the ECU through the CAN network, meaning that it's a low-risk option without the risk of causing damage to the vehicle. It's also a discrete option, since it doesn't depend on key fobs or LED indicators. It is virtually undetectable to anyone who isn't the owner of the car and doesn't interfere with jamming devices, or circuit cuts. It's also completely secure against keyless entry and device spoofing technology.
A ghost immobiliser will not only make it harder for thieves to take your car but can also help reduce the cost of insurance. It's because there is no indication of installation, therefore your insurance company will assume that you have an anti-theft device installed.
