Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser It only makes sense to ensure the safety of our vehicles as they are an expression of joy and pride. The Autowatch Ghost is a discrete vehicle immobiliser that connects to your vehicle's CAN data network. It works through the ECU (your car's brain). Once installed, the device will prevent your car from moving until an appropriate pin code sequence (up to 20 presses) is entered, just as a PIN on your credit card. No Key Fobs or LED Indicators to indicate its location The Ghost Immobiliser does not use key fobs or LED indicators, so it is virtually undetectable to anyone who enters your vehicle. The system utilizes buttons that are already in use, such as the centre console and door buttons as well as the steering wheel to generate a unique, changeable pin code sequence that must be entered before your car starts. The system can be programmed to require up to 20 press of the buttons before the engine can begin, making it virtually impossible for thieves to copy your key or hack your vehicle. Modern car thieves are able to employ professional diagnostic tools to detect what security systems are fitted to vehicles, however the Ghost does not transmit any signals as conventional security systems do. Using sophisticated RF scanning, code-grabbing technology and relay attack methods criminals can detect the type of security equipment is in your vehicle. They are able to disable your vehicle's security system by tampering with the alarm or immobiliser. The Ghost is unlike other immobilisers available on the market as it is integrated directly into the CAN data network of your van or car, making it nearly impossible to bypass. The system is also compatible with a number of newer car's which do not come with integrated key fob security. It will also work in most electric cars and can even stop the car from entering service valet mode. If the Ghost is installed by our fully trained engineers, TASSA will verify the installation to ensure that it is safe and up to standards.

No Circuit Cuts The Ghost is an immobiliser for the CAN bus that safeguards your car more than any other. Unlike other aftermarket car security devices, it's not connected to key fobs or LED indications and works by communicating directly with the vehicles CAN system. This enables it to block the ECU from starting and stop the engine from running unless a unique PIN is entered first via the dash of the vehicle or via the steering wheel buttons (brand dependent). This makes it difficult for thieves to alter the system using relay attacks or any other means. The system also has a Service and Valet mode that is activated when the vehicle is in the garage for servicing or valet parking. This allows the vehicle to be started while it is being repaired without the need to hand over keys or use the pin code, but then automatically disables again once the vehicle is back in your possession.

No RF Scanning Many car thieves use sophisticated equipment to clone keys and steal vehicles. These systems can be easily found on the internet, and require only a few basic skills to operate. These cloning devices do not use RF scanning to detect the Ghost immobiliser. The system instead uses buttons in your car to generate an individual pin code push. This is accomplished by using the buttons on your steering wheels or door panels, or the centre console. This is also changeable and is not a PIN number like the remote key fob, which makes it very difficult to hack. The Autowatch Ghost is extremely secure and simple to use. It does not require a smartphone, but can be used with a small waterproof tag or an Apple or Android App (sold separately). You can switch to service mode using your mobile device and then drive away. Then, you return the car to valet-mode & disable your mobile. This is a great option for classic cars and high-end automobiles that are typically maintained by dealer garages. These CANBUS immobilisers are able to be connected to other external security products like alarms and trackers (Brand dependant). This allows the user the option to decide if they wish to prioritize their alarm or tracker over the imobilisers CAN bus. This is particularly useful in the event you have a Thatcham approved Tracker, as the tracker can be activated before the Ghost is activated. The CANBUS immobiliser blocks codes that were sent by the original remote keys to the ECUs and BCM controllers. This prevents them from activating the engine or starting the car. These systems can also be used to add an additional layer of security to vehicles with remote controls from the factory (Brand dependant) and offer additional security for electric vehicles and keys-less entry vehicles. The Autowatch Ghost will provide you with an increased level of security on your BMW. It is completely hidden inside the wiring, making it virtually impossible to spot. It doesn't use LED indicators or keys-fobs, which helps to prevent the criminal from not noticing its presence. There are no electronic devices to be Detected As a top Thatcham Installer We install the groundbreaking new product called the Ghost immobiliser made by Autowatch that stops Keyless Entry theft and cloning which is on the rise in modern vehicles. It is a hidden system that doesn't use LED indicators or key fobs. It utilizes the buttons that are factory-installed in your car to generate a pin code push sequence that is unique to you and which is required before your vehicle can start or be moved. If this sequence isn't entered correctly the car will not begin or move at all. A lot of insurance companies require this device to be installed as a standard, and it can often result in a reduction in monthly premiums. It is not necessary to cut wires to install it, since it connects to the CAN bus and operates through the ECU. The unit isn't able to be identified by sophisticated thieves using diagnostic tools, and can't detect the click of a traditional security device. The Ghost Immobiliser can be set up in a service mode so that your vehicle can be driven and started without requiring the PIN code - this is useful when taking it to the garage, or for a valet parking service or for valet parking services. The PIN code can be changed to provide additional security at anytime. The Ghost II is TASSA approved which means it is only available from fully certified installers. This gives you a high degree of security and also ensures that the Engineer who installs it is thoroughly DBS verified, trained and insured. Although not a replacement for an alarm system we always recommend you to combine it with other physical barriers such as wheel clamps and crook locks, and if possible a hidden GPS tracker such as Meta Trak VTS to provide the highest degree of security. This is especially important if you leave your keys in the ignition even when it's not being driven, as there are many ways to trick the driver into believing that they are still in the vehicle, and allow theft to occur.
