Car Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser is a sophisticated system that stops your car from starting without a unique pin code sequence, entered through existing buttons (such as buttons on the dashboard or on the steering wheel). The device is invisible for thieves and operates quietly.
It could help deter hotwiring as well as newer methods like relay thefts. It may also reduce the cost of insurance.
No Radio Frequencies
Ghost immobilisers differ from a traditional one in that it doesn't transmit radio frequency, making it impossible for thieves to bypass the device by using a low-cost tool for cloning. This means that a ghost immobiliser can stop your car from being started even if a burglar has succeeded in cloning your key or stolen it.
Ghost immobilisers can also be used to stop relay attacks. The signal from your key fob is amplified to trick the system into allowing your car to start. The Ghost will recognize this and will not allow you to start the car until you enter the PIN code. love it is a great method to deter thieves who are tech-savvy who have simple-to-use and inexpensive tools to duplicate your vehicle.
The Ghost can be set up discreetly, without causing damage to your vehicle. It will only work after the correct pin sequence is entered. This is only known by the owner, so no one else is able to use your vehicle unless they have your pin code. Some systems allow owners to set up a service or valet mode so that they can temporarily let someone else drive the vehicle without revealing their pin code, guarding them against thieves who might steal.
In addition to being user-friendly and simple to disarm and disarm, the Ghost can be paired with a car tracker to make it possible to locate your vehicle. Some insurers offer discounts on car insurance for vehicles with Ghosts installed. This is great news as it increases the security of your vehicle.
Although the Ghost immobiliser is not Thatcham certified, it is an aftermarket item that has been tested by an independent party and proved to be effective. Ask the seller of a secondhand vehicle that has the Ghost installed to transfer it to your vehicle. This will make your new car more secure than it would be if the previous owner hadn't transferred it.
No Circuit Cuts
The absence of circuit breaks means that even in the event that your car is stolen, thieves won't be able to start it. The thieves will need to know the exact buttons to unlock the car, and they won't be able to do this without knowing the sequences. This will deter them further and make sure that they don't attempt to steal your car in the first place since they may not be able to escape with the vehicle.
If you have a GPS tracking device installed, the Ghost could function as an anti-theft device. It can send a signal that can trigger a siren alarm to notify the tracker about a theft attempt. This feature can be turned off at any time from your online dashboard.
When you connect your Ghost to the CAN data network it will identify the vehicle and its owner using the unique pin code programmed during installation. This allows the device to connect directly with the ECU of your vehicle and immobilise its engine. This means that the engine can only be turned on if it is authorised by the owner of the vehicle or a person with a valid PIN code.
Because the pin code is constructed from existing buttons that are easily accessible to the driver (such as cruise control and stereo mute) it is mathematically impossible to guess by any potential thieves. Your engineer will give you an Pin Code Override Card that is similar to scratch-off tickets from lottery. It only requires scratching to reveal the code.
In contrast to traditional immobilisers, which can often be detected by a thief using diagnostics to read the immobiliser relay, your Ghost is indiscernible by these methods as it doesn't utilize radio frequencies or circuit cuts. Therefore, it is unaffected by the modern techniques used by organised gangs who are experts in the use of RF scanning technology as well as code-grabbing. It's also a lifetime product that can easily be removed from your vehicle when you decide to sell it, which means that you won't lose any of the protection that you have put into.
No Key Fobs
In the UK Vehicle theft is on the rise. Proactive measures are needed to safeguard your precious vehicles from criminals who are opportunistic. The innovative Ghost Immobiliser from Autowatch offers a solid defense against key cloning, hacking, and signal relay attacks. It is a subtle and highly effective security system for cars that is simple to install in a vast variety of vehicles.
The Ghost immobiliser is not a typical system that relies on key fobs. It also doesn't use a signal relay. This means it is unaffected by signal interception and is unable to be activated using stolen or damaged remotes. It's also tamper-proof, and does not have any external wiring, making it hard to remove.
It protects your joy from key-long, hacking and key theft by preventing the engine from starting until you input a specific PIN code. This is done by using buttons already in the vehicle like those on the steering wheel as well as the door panels and the centre consoles to create a customized disarm sequence of up to 20 presses long (like entering a PIN on your smartphone).
This is the only way for you to start your engine and it only works if you have entered the correct pin code. This makes it very difficult for thieves to take your vehicle and is simple to use. Alternatively, if you're worried about not remembering the pin code, the installer will provide you with an emergency driver fob, which allows you to drive your car as normal.
The Ghost immobiliser is not detected by devices for diagnosis, such as RF scanners or other devices employed by thieves. This stealth installation enhances the security of the system and permits it to be placed in a location that is difficult for thieves.
Ghost immobilisers can be an affordable and efficient in preventing thefts and increase the value of your vehicle. They are also recognized by some insurance providers and can result in lower rates.
No Damage

This is especially important if you have invested an enormous amount of time and money in making your vehicle more unique or have an expensive or rare model. Ghost immobilisers work silently and require no additional components or installation.
The system lets you create a pin code that must be entered to allow the engine to begin. It uses buttons on your steering wheel or console, as well as on your doors. The sequence can be modified by you at any time, ensuring that even if someone has your pin number and is able to start your car. It is also simple to deactivate the device in the service valet mode, to allow your car to be driven away for servicing, cleaning or an MOT without being triggered.
The criminal won't be able to start your car when it's cloned and will thus be caught. The system will also alert you to any alteration to the wiring of your vehicle like signal interception or cutting. This information can be sent to your smartphone so that you're always aware of the security situation of your vehicle.
However, there could come a time that you need to remove or disable the Ghost Immobiliser for maintenance or for resale. In this scenario you'll need to follow a carefully-planned procedure to remove the device without damaging the wiring system of your vehicle. It is highly recommended to wear protective gloves during the procedure, and also use a flashlight to illuminate the dark areas of your vehicle in which the immobiliser is likely to be. It is also worth referring to any installation documents or user manuals that you may have to determine the exact location of the device.
Once the immobiliser is removed from the wiring system, it is possible to reconnect the battery in your car and check to ensure that it functions correctly and that all electrical components are working as intended. You will need to use electrical tape or soldering to shield any wires that have been cut. Check to see if any exposed wires are found, and that any dangling wires are secured by zip ties or other appropriate means. Finally, schedule a vehicle check-up with a professional to ensure that the removal process did not harm any other systems in your vehicle.
