Ghost Immobiliser Review
As car theft increases and the number of car theft victims increases, people are always looking for ways to prevent it. The ghost immobiliser is an innovative device that does just that.
It's the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser in the world that is protected against key hacking or cloning and also stops thieves from taking your vehicle.
No Faraday Bags and Radio Signals
In contrast to other physical anti-theft devices like wheel locks or steering wheel clamps, ghost immobilisers have been designed to be covert and inaccessible. Integrated into the vehicle's buttons they offer protection against key hacking, cloning and ECU swapping and even key theft. A ghost immobiliser prevents the engine from running until you enter a pre-determined PIN code along with your key fob. This PIN code is up to 20 presses long and is modified by the driver through an app or buttons on the vehicle. If you forget your pin or the button is damaged, or if you sell your vehicle you can utilize an emergency PIN code that's unique to each device to reset the system.
Ghost immobilisers come with the benefit of being undetectable by diagnostic equipment and don't emit radio frequency signals. This means that thieves cannot use sophisticated scanning techniques to detect an immobiliser. They also utilize the CAN data network, which does not require wire cutting after installation and is quieter than other immobilisers.
Although ghost immobilisers aren't Thatcham approved however they are TASSA approved and some insurers offer lower rates on insurance for vehicles with an aftermarket immobiliser. However, they are regarded as an additional security layer that can deter thieves.
In contrast to factory-fitted immobilisers Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is designed to work with a range of vehicles including motorhomes, vans, electric cars and ride-on lawnmowers. This makes it more adaptable than other anti-theft technologies and it can be used in conjunction with vehicle trackers for the most effective car security system.

The device functions by connecting to your vehicle's CAN (Control Area Network) system and it will allow you to enter an individual PIN code push sequence that you select - which could be as long as 20 digits long - that must be entered prior to when your Range Rover or Land Rover J will start. It's similar to the way you enter a pin code on your bank card to protect it. It is not affected by cloning or ECU swapping, which can disable the factory immobiliser.
It is tiny and weatherproof, making it almost impossible to be detected by thieves.

Simple PIN Code Change Process
Ghost immobilisers unlike key fobs that utilize a code to unlock the ECU of your car and then start it by communicating with the ECU through the CAN data network. This makes them undetectable by diagnostic tools, quiet, and unhackable. Furthermore, the technology in these systems means that they are able to be fitted to a wide range of vehicles such as trucks, motorhomes and plant machinery.
Our Autowatch Ghost system has been created to offer complete security against theft.

This is an extremely high-security level that will help to protect your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and ECU swapping.
The reason why it is so secure is because there is no need to include extra components like key fobs or LED indicators, or a remote. The device uses the buttons on your door and steering wheel instead of creating the sequence that is changed before your car starts. It can take up to 20 times long and is similar to the PIN code on a credit card.
Additionally the device is hidden and will not divulge the location of the device to burglars. Furthermore, it doesn't utilize radio signals and works on the CAN data network making it unnoticeable to thieves using RF scanning devices.
Many car thieves try to remove the CAN chip from the ECU or even replace it to avoid detection. However this can only be carried out by experts who have access to the right equipment.
