Ghost Immobiliser Review
As car theft rises consumers are constantly searching for ways to prevent it. Ghost immobilisers are a revolutionary new device that does just that.
It's the only aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser on the market that is protected against key hacking or cloning and also stops thieves from taking your vehicle.
No Faraday Bags and Radio Signals
Contrary to other devices for physical protection against theft like wheel locks or steering wheel clamps, ghost immobilisers have been designed to be hidden and unnoticeable. They are integrated into vehicle buttons and provide protection against key copying. Ghost immobilisers will stop the engine from starting until you input a PIN code along with your key fob. This PIN code is up to 20 presses long, and can be altered by the driver via an app or buttons on the vehicle. If you forget your pin or a button breaks, or if you sell your car or sell it, you can use an emergency PIN code that's unique to each device to reset the system.
Additionally, ghost immobilisers are undetectable by diagnostic tools and don't emit any radio frequency signals so thieves aren't able to use sophisticated RF scanning technology to detect the presence of an immobiliser. They also utilize the CAN data network which requires no wire cutting upon installation and is quieter than other immobilisers.
Ghost immobilisers aren't Thatcham approved but they are TASSA-approved. Some insurers will offer lower insurance rates to vehicles that have an aftermarket immobiliser. However, they are regarded as an additional security layer that can deter thieves.
Autowatch Ghost is unlike factory-fitted immobilisers because it is compatible with a range of vehicles, including motorhomes and vans. It also works with electric cars or ride-on lawnmowers, as well as motorhomes. This means that it is much more versatile than other types of anti-theft technology and can be paired with vehicles trackers to give you the most comprehensive car security package.

The device connects to the CAN (Control Area Network) which allows you to choose a unique PIN push sequence - up to 20 digits in length - that is required to start your Range Rover or Land Rover J. This is similar to the way you enter a pin number on your bank card to protect it. It is not affected by cloning or ECU swapping, which can disable the factory immobiliser.

The tag allows you to start your car without having to enter your PIN number or the Ghost app.

Simple PIN Code Change Process
Ghost immobilisers are different from key fobs, which utilize a code to unlock the ECU of your car and start it by communicating with the ECU through the CAN data network. They are therefore undetectable by diagnostic tools, inaudible and unhackable. They can be fitted to many different vehicles including trucks and motorhomes, as well as plant machinery.
Our Autowatch Ghost system was developed to provide complete protection against theft. It blocks your vehicle from starting without either the unique PIN code or the smartphone app that has the Ghost app downloaded. This is a remarkably high level of security that will safeguard your vehicle against key copying. Hacking and ECU Swapping.
It is secure because it doesn't require any extra elements like key fobs or LED indicators. Instead, the device uses your existing buttons on your steering wheel and door panels to generate a changeable sequence that must be entered before the car will begin. This can be up to 20 times long and is similar to the PIN code on credit cards.
In addition, the device is completely hidden and will not reveal the location of the device to thief. It also doesn't use radio waves and operates on the CAN network, making it totally invisible to thieves who use scanners that scan RF.
Many car thieves try to remove the CAN chip from the ECU or even replace it to avoid detection, however this technique is only attainable by experts who have access to specialist equipment. Ghost immobilisers protect your car from various types of vehicle thefts.
In addition, it could be used in conjunction with an iPhone which you'll require if you are planning to start the engine of your vehicle when it is in a garage at work or at home. This lets you enter and drive without the need for PIN codes as the app will recognize your phone when it's within the vicinity of. This feature is available for any model of Autowatch Ghost, and you can pair as many smartphones with it as you like.
