Ghost Immobiliser Review
Consumers are always looking for ways to prevent car theft as it increases. Ghost immobilisers are a perfect solution for what it says on the tin.
It's the only aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser that is protected against key hacking or key cloning and stops thieves from taking your vehicle.
No Faraday Bags and Radio Signals
Ghost immobilisers, in contrast to other physical measures to prevent theft, such as steering wheel locks or wheel clamps are designed to be undetectable and covert. They are integrated into the buttons of the vehicle and protect against key cloning. Ghost immobilisers stop the engine from running until you enter a pre-determined PIN code along with your key fob. The PIN code can be up to 20 presses long and is changeable by the driver via an app or on the buttons of the vehicle. If you forget your pin or a button breaks or you sell your vehicle, you can use an emergency PIN code that's unique to each device to reset the system.
As an added bonus Ghost immobilisers aren't detected by diagnostic tools and don't emit any radio frequency signals, so thieves cannot utilize sophisticated RF scanning technology to detect the presence of an immobiliser. They also use CAN data network, which does not require wire cutting during installation and is quieter.
Ghost immobilisers aren't Thatcham certified, but they are TASSA-approved. Certain insurers offer lower rates on insurance for vehicles with an aftermarket immobiliser. However, they are recognized as an additional security measure that can deter thieves.
Contrary to immobilisers that are factory fitted, the Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is designed to work with a range of vehicles such as motorhomes, vans, electric cars and ride-on lawnmowers. This means that it is much more versatile than other types of anti-theft devices and can be paired with vehicle trackers to give you the most comprehensive car security package.

As opposed to a lock for the wheel or other physical anti-theft devices ghost immobiliser is incorporated into your vehicle's wiring which means it can't be removed or bypassed. Furthermore, since it does not utilize keys or LEDs, it is much more difficult to hack and locate than a standard factory-installed immobiliser.
The device is connected to your vehicle's CAN (Control Area Network) system and enabling an individual PIN code push sequence that you select - which could be as long as 20 digits long - that must be entered before your Range Rover or Land Rover J will start. This is similar to the method you enter a pin number on your bank card to protect it. It is not affected by the process of cloning or ECU swapping, which would normally disable your factory immobiliser.
It is tiny and weatherproof, making it nearly impossible to be detected by a thief. It is connected to the CAN bus, which means it is quiet and difficult to detect.

Simple PIN Code Change Process
Contrary to key fobs that require an unlock code to open the ECU and then start your car ghost immobilisers communicate with the vehicle's ECU through its own CAN data network. This makes them unrecognisable by diagnostic tools, silent and invulnerable to hack. These systems can be fitted to various vehicles including trucks and motorhomes and plant machinery.
Our Autowatch Ghost system has been designed to offer complete protection against theft. It works to prevent your vehicle being started without having either the unique PIN or
Ericka the smartphone application with the ghost app downloaded on it. This is an extremely high-security level that can safeguard your vehicle from hacking, key cloning and ECU swapping.
The reason it is safe is that there is no requirement to add extra components like key fobs, LED indicators or remotes. Instead, the device utilizes your existing buttons on your steering wheel and door panels to generate a changeable sequence that must be entered before your vehicle can begin. This could be up to 20 actions long, and functions similarly to a PIN code on your credit card.
Additionally, the device is completely hidden and will not reveal the location of the device to thieves. It also does not use radio waves and works on the CAN network, making it totally invisible to thieves who employ scanners with RF.
Many car thieves will try and remove the CAN chip from the ECU or even replace it to avoid detection, however, this method is only possible by professionals with access to specialist equipment. This is why the
ghost immobiliser is so efficient and can be used to safeguard your vehicle from a lot of different types of vehicle thefts.
It can also be connected to an iPhone or an iPhone, which you'll require if you plan to start your car when it is in a garage at home or at work. The app will detect the phone and allow you to drive with no needing a PIN code. This functionality is available for any version of Autowatch Ghost, and you can pair as many smartphones with it as you want.
