Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser
With ever increasing pride and joy being poured into our cars, it is only natural to secure them. The Autowatch Ghost system is a discrete immobiliser that is connected to the vehicle CAN data network. It operates via the ECU, your cars 'brain'.
Once it is installed the device will stop your car from moving unless a chosen pin code sequence (up to 20 presses) is entered, just like a PIN on your credit card.
No Key Fobs, LED Indications or LEDs to identify its location
The Ghost Immobiliser is virtually invisible to anyone who enters your vehicle since it doesn't use LED indicators or key fobs. The system uses existing buttons such as the centre console and door buttons as well as the steering wheel to generate an unique, programmable pin code sequence that has to be entered before your car will start. The system can be programmed to require up to 20 press of the buttons before the engine will start making it virtually impossible for thieves to duplicate your keys or hack into your vehicle.
Modern car thieves can employ professional diagnostic tools to identify which security systems are in vehicles, however the Ghost does not transmit any signals as conventional systems do. Using sophisticated RF scanning, code-grabbing technology, and relay attack methods criminals can determine the kind of security system is fitted to your vehicle. This will allow them to modify the immobiliser or alarm circuits to disable your system and escape with your vehicle.
The Ghost is unique from other immobilisers on the market as it is directly integrated into the CAN data network of your vehicle or van which makes it virtually impossible to bypass. The system is compatible with modern cars that don't have keyfob security. It will also work on electric vehicles in the majority of cases and will even stop the car from entering "service valet mode".
When installed by our fully qualified engineers, TASSA will verify the installation to ensure that it is secure and up to standard. TASSA is a non-profit organization that is responsible for maintaining and improving standards within the automotive security industry and ensures that all their certified installers have been through DBS checks and are fully trained, insured and certified to install the Ghost. You will also receive a Ghost emergency card, installation certificate and owner manuals. This will also make your car qualified for a substantial reduction in your insurance premiums. This is due to the fact that your car is less likely to be stolen and it will be much easier for your insurers to recover.
No Circuit Cuts
The Ghost is an immobiliser CAN bus that will protect your vehicle more than anything else. Unlike other aftermarket car security devices, this one isn't connected to key fobs or LEDs and works by communicating directly with the vehicles CAN system. This allows it to prevent the ECU from starting and stops the engine from running unless an individual PIN is first entered via the dash of the vehicle or via the steering wheel buttons (brand dependant). This means it is impossible for hackers to hack into the system using relay attacks or any other means and cannot be disabled with a few button presses like with older systems.
The system also comes with an Service and Valet mode which is activated when the vehicle is in garage to service or valet parking. The vehicle can be started for a short period while working, without the need to use the pin code or hand over the keys. ghost immobiliser price will then automatically shut down once you return the vehicle.
This makes the Ghost a much more secure option for classic, sports or prestige cars that require battery isolation when parked for long periods of time. It's also not detected by modern scanners for RF and code grabbing technology, making it extremely difficult for thieves to steal or hack.
If you are seeking a complete set of vehicle security that does not only safeguard against key cloning but also monitor your vehicle if it is stolen, we recommend one of our S7 tracking systems. They work seamlessly with Ghost to provide peace of assurance. All of our installations are completed by a fully trained, skilled and insured TASSA certified installer. You will receive a full demonstration of the product prior to handing it over with owner manuals, Installation certification, and an emergency card from Ghost.
If you're interested to have a Ghost fitted to your vehicle, please contact us to discuss pricing and to book. It is often a quicker option to book ahead instead of waiting until the last minute when we're extremely busy. We'll try to get you booked the earliest time possible.
No RF Scanning
Many thieves of cars use sophisticated equipment to copy keys and steal vehicles. These devices are readily accessible online and require no skill to operate. These cloning devices don't make use of RF scanning to identify the Ghost immobiliser.
Instead the system uses the buttons on your car to create an unique pin code push sequence. This is accomplished by using the buttons you have on your steering wheel and door panels as well as the center console. It is also reversible and does not have a PIN number like remote keys, which makes it extremely difficult to hack.
This makes the Autowatch Ghost very secure and extremely easy to use. It is not dependent on the smartphone and can be used with a small waterproof wireless tag, or the Apple or Android application (sold separately). You can switch to service mode with your mobile device and drive away. Then you return the car to valet-mode & disable your mobile. This is perfect for classic cars as well as prestige automobiles that are frequently brought to garages of dealers.
These CANBUS immobilisers can be linked to other security products such as alarms and trackers (Brand dependent). This allows the user to decide if they wish to put their alarm or tracker over the immobilisers on the CAN bus. This is particularly beneficial when you have a Thatcham-approved Tracker, since the tracker will be armed before Ghost is activated.
The CANBUS immobilisers use the cars CAN data bus to stop the codes that are expected to be transmitted to the ECU and BCM controllers by the remote keys that came with it, this prevents them from beginning the car or turning on the engine. These systems can also be used to provide an additional layer of security in cars with factory remote controls (Brand dependent) and provide additional protection for electric vehicles as well as cars with keyless entry.
If you're looking to add an upgrade in security for your BMW then the Autowatch Ghost is an ideal solution. It is virtually impossible to spot because it is concealed in the wiring. It doesn't depend on any indicators in the form of LEDs or key fobs which also helps to avoid the possibility of a criminal seeing its presence in your vehicle.
No Electronics Detected
As a renowned Thatcham Installer We install the innovative new product, the Ghost immobiliser made by Autowatch which prevents Keyless Entry theft and cloning which is increasing in modern vehicles. It is a covert device that does not rely on LED indicators or key fobs. It makes use of the factory buttons on your car to generate a pin code push sequence that is unique to you and is required before your vehicle can be started or moved. The car cannot move or start unless the sequence is properly entered. Numerous insurance companies now require this device to be installed as a standard and can result in a reduction in monthly cost.
It doesn't require the cutting of wires to be connected because it is connected to the CAN data bus and operates via the ECU (Engine Control Unit). The device isn't identified by sophisticated thieves using diagnostic tools, and they can't detect the sound of a traditional security device. The Ghost Immobiliser can also be programmed into an operating mode that allows your vehicle can be driven and started without the need for a PIN This is helpful when taking it to the garage or for valet parking services etc. The PIN code can be changed for additional security at anytime.
The Ghost II is TASSA approved which means it's only available from fully accredited installers. This offers a higher level of security. It also means that the Engineer who installs it is DBS checked, trained and insured.
Meta Trak VTS is a GPS tracker that can be hidden in your vehicle. This will give you the best level of security. This is particularly crucial if you leave your keys in the ignition when it's not being driven because there are a variety of ways to fool the driver into thinking that they are still in the vehicle and allow a theft to take place.
