Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser
It is only natural to protect our vehicles, because they are an object of pride and joy. The Autowatch Ghost system is a subtle immobiliser that is connected to the vehicle CAN data network and functions via the ECU the car's brain..
Once installed the device will stop your car from moving until the pin code sequence you choose (up to 20 presses) is entered, just like a PIN on your credit card.
No Key Fobs, LED Indications or LEDs to Give Away Its Location
The Ghost Immobiliser does not use key fobs or LED indicators so it is virtually undetectable to anyone who gets into your vehicle. The system utilizes existing buttons such as the centre console and door buttons as well as the steering wheel to generate an individual, custom-changeable pin code sequence that must be entered before the car starts. The system can be set to require up 20 presses before the engine will begin to turn on which makes it virtually impossible for thieves or cloners to gain access into your car.
Modern car thieves are able to utilize diagnostic tools that are professional to identify which security systems are in vehicles, however the Ghost does not transmit any signals like the conventional security systems do. Criminals can determine the type of security equipment installed in your car by using sophisticated RF scanning technology as well as code-grabbing and relay attack techniques. This will allow them to modify the alarm or immobiliser circuits to disable your system and get away with your vehicle.
Unlike other immobilisers on the market, the Ghost is incorporated in your vehicle's CAN data network, which means it is nearly impossible to bypass and hack. The system is compatible with the latest models that do not have keyfob security. It is also utilized in electric vehicles and it is able to stop the car from entering a "service valet" mode.

This makes it impossible for thieves to 'hack into the system using relay attacks or any other method and cannot be disabled with the buttons a few times like with older systems.
The system comes with a Service & Valet mode that is activated while the vehicle is in garage for servicing or valet parking. The vehicle can be started temporarily while working and without the need to use the pin code or hand over the keys. It will then disable itself once you have returned the vehicle.

This gives the user to decide if they wish to prioritize their alarm or tracker over the CAN bus imobilisers. This is particularly useful if you have a Thatcham-approved Tracker, since the tracker will be activated prior to the time Ghost is activated.
