Ghost Immobiliser Review
Consumers are always seeking ways to stop car thefts as they increase. Ghost immobilisers do exactly what it says on the tin.
It's the world's first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser, which protects your vehicle from hacking, key cloning or keyless entry. It also keeps 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 are designed to be covert and inaccessible. They are integrated into buttons of the vehicle and protect against key cloning. A ghost immobiliser prevents the engine from starting unless you enter a pre-determined PIN code along with your key fob. The PIN code can be up to 20 presses long, and is alterable by the driver through an app or by the buttons on the vehicle. If you forget your pin or an item breaks or you sell your car, you can use an emergency PIN code that is unique to each device to reset the system.
Additionally Ghost immobilisers aren't detected by diagnostic tools and do not emit any radio frequency signals, which means that thieves aren't able to use sophisticated RF scanning technology to detect the presence of a security device. They also utilize the CAN data network, which requires no wire cutting upon installation and is more quiet than other immobilisers.
Although ghost immobilisers aren't Thatcham approved, they are TASSA approved and some insurance companies offer reduced insurance rates for vehicles that have an aftermarket immobiliser. They are nevertheless recognized as an extra layer of security and have the potential to deter thieves from targeting your vehicle of choice.
In contrast to factory-fitted immobilisers Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is designed to work with a variety of vehicles including motorhomes, electric cars, vans, and ride-on lawnmowers. This makes it more adaptable than other anti-theft devices and can be used in conjunction with vehicle trackers to give you the most complete car security package.

No Key Fobs or LED Indicators
Ghost immobilisers are integrated into the wiring of your vehicle, meaning they are not able to be removed or overridden. It is also more difficult to locate or hack because it doesn't have key fobs or LED indicators.
The device is connected to your vehicle's CAN (Control Area Network) and allows you to select a distinct PIN push sequence - up to 20 digits in length which is required to start your Range Rover or Land
Autowatch Rover J. This is similar to the way you enter the pin code to secure your bank card. It is not affected by cloning or ECU swapping that would normally disable the factory immobiliser.
Because it utilizes your vehicle's buttons, it is weatherproof and tiny which makes it nearly impossible for
autowatch thieves to spot. It also communicates with the CAN data bus, which means that it is completely silent, making it difficult to identify. This makes it an ideal addition to your security systems. It is especially useful because it can be used alongside other Autowatch technologies, such as the Ghost Bluetooth tag, which allows you to start your vehicle without having to enter your PIN or the ghost app.
The ghost immobiliser has the advantage of not leaving visible marks in your vehicle. This is an issue with other security devices that are aftermarket. This is particularly appealing for those who want to keep their pride-and-joy as original as possible for reselling.

Simple PIN Code Change Process
In contrast to key fobs, which require a code to unlock the ECU and then start your car ghost immobilisers communicate with the vehicle's ECU via its own CAN data network. They are therefore undetectable, quiet and unhackable by diagnostic tools. Furthermore, the technology in these systems ensures that they can be incorporated into a broad range of vehicles including trucks, motorhomes, and plant machinery.
Our Autowatch Ghost system was created to offer complete security against theft. It prevents your vehicle being started until you have either the unique PIN or the smartphone application with the ghost application installed on it. This is an extremely high-security level that can help protect your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and ECU swapping.
It is safe because it does not 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 create an alterable sequence that has to be entered before your vehicle can start. This can be as long as 20 steps and functions similarly to the PIN code of credit card.
In addition it is completely 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 completely undetectable to thieves using RF scanning devices.
Many car thieves will try and remove the CAN chip from the ECU or even replace it to hide it, however, this method is only attainable by professionals with access to the right equipment. Ghost immobilisers protect your vehicle from a variety of kinds of vehicle thefts.
Additionally, it can also be paired with an iPhone which you'll require if you are planning to start the engine of your vehicle when it is parked at home or work. The app will recognize the phone and allow you to drive without needing a PIN. This feature is available on any version of the
Autowatch Ghost and can be used with as many smartphones as you'd like.
