Get a Ghost Immobiliser Fitted to Protect Your Vehicle
The Autowatch Ghost, a new generation car immobiliser, protects against key (and keys that do not have keys) thefts, clonings, and relay hacking. It is a subtle device that is connected to the vehicles data network CAN and operates silently.
It works by needing an PIN code sequence comprised of buttons on the steering wheel or console to operate it. It can also be activated for
Ghost Immobiliser service mode - allowing the vehicle to start for temporary use when needed.
No Radio Signals
If you're looking to secure your vehicle from hacking, key cloning and theft of keys, then installing a ghost immobiliser is a great method of doing it. The system is concealed inside the vehicle, it operates silently and does not use radio signals to communicate with the vehicle. This makes it difficult for thieves to identify using radar scanning devices as they can't hear or see it.
The device also stops cloning your vehicle's keyfob, by preventing communication between the vehicle's CAN data network and the keyfob. Car thief gangs that are organized often employ sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing technology to deactivate and intercept security systems in vehicles. Ghost immobilisers, however, are not detected by thieves, as they do not emit any radio frequency signal and are incorporated into the vehicle's CAN data network. This means that there are no circuit breaks during installation and fitment, making them completely undetectable.
The ghost immobiliser prevents your vehicle from being moved and also prevents it from beginning. This is ideal for those who will be parking your car in a public area, such as at a supermarket or garage or hire valet services to park your vehicle for you. This feature can be activated through a simple app on an iOS or Android phone.
Your vehicle can be found through GPS trackers. This can assist you in recovering your vehicle in the event that it is stolen. In recent times thieves have been able of overriding vehicle security systems by hacking the OBD port of the vehicle. However this is not possible by using a ghost immobiliser which communicates directly with the vehicle's ECU through the CAN data circuit. This is invisible to hi-tech diagnostics tools, and is totally silent so that a thief cannot add a new key or replace the ECU in order to start the vehicle.
The device can be reversibly changed, and it does not impact the warranty on your car. If you're considering a ghost immobiliser, make sure you find an TASSA approved installer. This will confirm that the installer has passed a series of checks, including identity and CRB.
