ghost immobiliser installers near me Immobiliser Review

As car theft rises consumers are constantly searching for a way to prevent it. The ghost immobiliser is an innovative device that does just that.

It's the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that is protected against key hacking or cloning and stops thieves from driving off with your vehicle.

No Faraday Bags or Radio Signals

Unlike other physical anti-theft devices like steering wheel locks and wheel clamps, ghost immobilisers are designed to be covert and inaccessible. They are integrated into buttons of the vehicle and protect against key copying. A ghost immobiliser prevents the engine from running until you enter a specific PIN code along with your key fob. This PIN code is up to 20 presses long, and can be modified by the driver through an app or buttons on the vehicle. If you forget your pin, a button breaks or you sell your vehicle, there's an emergency PIN code unique to every device that can be used to reset the system.

In addition, ghost immobilisers are undetectable by diagnostic tools and don't emit radio frequency signals so thieves can't utilize sophisticated RF scanning technology to detect the presence of an immobiliser. They also utilize the CAN data network that does not require cutting wires upon installation and is quieter than other immobilisers.

Although ghost immobilisers are not Thatcham approved but they are TASSA approved and some insurance companies offer lower rates on insurance for vehicles with an aftermarket immobiliser fitted. However, they are regarded as an additional security measure that can deter thieves.

Unlike factory-fitted immobilisers, the Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is designed to work with a range of vehicles including motorhomes, electric cars, vans, and ride-on lawnmowers. This means that it is more adaptable than other types of anti-theft technologies and can be combined with vehicles trackers to give you the most comprehensive car security package.

No Key Fobs or LED Indicators

Unlike a wheel lock or other physical anti-theft devices ghost immobilisers are integrated into the wiring of your vehicle, which means it can't be removed or removed or bypassed. It's also more difficult to locate or hack because it doesn't utilize key-fobs or LED indicators.

The device is connected to your vehicle's CAN (Control Area Network) system and creating the creation of a unique PIN code push sequence that you choose - which can be up to 20 digits long - that must be entered before your Range Rover or Land Rover J will start. This is like how you enter the pin code to secure your bank card. It is not affected by cloning or ECU swapping, which would normally disable your factory immobiliser.

As it uses your vehicles existing buttons it is weatherproof and tiny and compact, making it nearly impossible for thieves to detect. It also connects to the CAN data bus, which means that it operates in a quiet manner, making it difficult to identify. This makes it a perfect complement to your security systems and is especially useful because it can be used with other autowatch ghost immobiliser installation technologies like the Ghost Bluetooth tag, which allows you to start your car without the need to enter your PIN, or the ghost app.

Another benefit of the ghost immobiliser is that it does not leave any visible marks on the interior of your car which is an issue with some other aftermarket security products. This is particularly appealing for those who wish to keep their car as authentic as they can when it comes to reselling.

Simple PIN Code Change Process

Unlike key fobs which use a code to unlock the ECU and start your vehicle, ghost immobilisers communicate with the vehicle's ECU via its own CAN data network. They are therefore undetectable, silent and unhackable by diagnostic tools. These systems can be fitted to a variety of vehicles such as trucks and motorhomes and plant machinery.

Our Autowatch Ghost system has been designed to offer complete protection against theft. It prevents your vehicle from starting until you have either the unique PIN or smartphone application with the ghost app downloaded on it. This is a incredibly secure level of security that can safeguard your vehicle from hacking, key cloning and ECU swapping.

It is so secure as it does not require any extra components like key fobs or LED indicators. The device makes use of the buttons on your steering wheel and door panels instead to generate the sequence that is changed before your car starts. This can be up to 20 times long and works similarly to the PIN code of a credit card.

The device is also hidden, so that thieves are unable to locate it. It also does not use radio waves and is based on the CAN network, which makes it completely inaccessible to thieves using RF scanning devices.

A lot of thieves attempt to remove the CAN chip from the ECU or even replace it to avoid detection. However, this method is only attainable by professionals who have access to specialised equipment. This is the reason why the ghost immobiliser is effective and can be used to safeguard your vehicle from many different kinds of vehicle thefts.

In addition, it could be linked to an iPhone that you will need to have if you are planning to start the engine while your car is parked at home or work. The app will recognize the phone and permit you to drive without needing a PIN. This functionality is available on all models of the Autowatch Ghost and can be connected to as many smartphones as you want.

The Ghost Immobiliser uses the buttons on your car's original key fob to create an encrypted sequence to disarm (like a PIN code) that needs to be entered before the engine can start. The driver is able to alter the sequence at any time. It can contain up to 20 actions. This is a far more secure method of security than using the key fob alone because it ensures that nobody else is able to drive your vehicle. This prevents thieves from 'hacking the system in order to gain access the key code or other information sent to the ECU of the vehicle through it.
