Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser
With more and more pride and joy being poured into our cars, it is only natural to protect them. The Autowatch Ghost is a discrete vehicle immobiliser which connects to your vehicles CAN data network. It operates through the ECU (your cars brain).
The device is similar to a PIN number on a credit or debit card, will not permit your vehicle to move unless you enter a pin code sequence of up to 20 presses.
No Key Fobs or LED Indications to Give Away Its Location
The Ghost Immobiliser is virtually invisible to anyone who enters your vehicle since it does not use LED indicators or key fobs. The system utilizes buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console, or door to generate an unique pin code that needs to be entered to allow your vehicle to start. The system can be configured to take up to 20 presses of the buttons before the engine will begin, making it nearly impossible for thieves to clone your keys or hack into your vehicle.
Modern car thieves employ professional diagnostic tools to determine which security systems are installed on vehicles. The Ghost, however, does not send any signals. With the help of sophisticated RF scanning code grabbing technology and relay attack techniques, criminals can identify what kind of security equipment is fitted to your vehicle. This will permit them to alter the alarm or immobiliser circuits to disable your system and get away with your vehicle.
The Ghost is unlike other immobilisers on the market as it is integrated directly into the CAN data network of your vehicle or van, making it nearly impossible to bypass. The system is compatible with newer vehicles that don't have keyfob security. It can also be used on electric vehicles in the majority of cases and even prevent the vehicle from going into "service valet mode".
When installed by our fully trained engineers, TASSA will verify the installation to ensure that it is secure and up to standards. TASSA is a company that improves and maintains standards in the security industry for automobiles. They guarantee that all of their approved installers are DBS verified and fully trained certified, insured and insured for Ghost installation. They also provide you with the owner's manuals, Installation certification and an emergency card from Ghost. This will also make your car qualified for a substantial reduction in the cost of your insurance. This is because your car is less likely to be stolen, and it will be much simpler for your insurers to recuperate.
No Circuit Cuts
The Ghost is the original aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that protects your vehicle like no other available. It's not linked to LED indicators or key fobs however, it communicates directly with the vehicle's CAN system. It can then block the ECU and prevent the engine from starting until a specific PIN has been entered into the vehicle's dash or steering-wheel buttons (brand dependent). This makes it impossible for thieves to 'hack' into the system by using relay attacks or any other method and cannot be disabled by the buttons a few times as with some older systems.
The system also features a Service and Valet mode that is activated when the vehicle is in garage to service or valet parking. This allows the vehicle to be started temporarily whilst being worked on without the need to hand over the keys or the pin code, but then it automatically turns off once the vehicle is back in your possession.
The Ghost is a more secure choice for classic, sports or prestige vehicles that require to be isolated from the battery when parked for extended periods of time. It's also undetectable by the latest RF scanning technology and code grabbing, making it extremely difficult for thieves or hackers to evade.

No RF Scanning
Many thieves of cars use sophisticated equipment to clone keys and steal vehicles. These systems can be easily accessible on the internet and require only a few basic skills to operate. These cloning systems do not make use of RF scanning to identify the Ghost immobiliser.
The system instead uses buttons on your car to create an unique pin code push. This is accomplished by using the existing buttons on your steering wheel or door panels, or on your central console. It is also a reversible number, not a pin like a remote fob, which makes it extremely difficult to hack.
This makes the Autowatch Ghost very secure and extremely simple to use. It isn't dependent on smartphones and can be utilized with a small waterproof wireless tag or Apple or Android application (sold separately). You can go into service mode with your mobile device and then drive away. Then you return the car to valet mode and disable your mobile. This is ideal for classic cars as well as prestige vehicles that are frequently taken in for service at dealer garages.
These CANBUS immobilisers can be linked to other security devices such as alarms and trackers (Brand dependent). This allows the user to decide if they want their tracker or alarm to take priority over the CAN bus immobilisers. This is particularly helpful in the event you have a Thatcham approved Tracker, since the tracker can be armed before the Ghost is activated.
The CANBUS immobilisers make use of the car's CAN data bus to block the codes that would be sent to the ECU and BCM controllers using the original remote keys This stops them from beginning the car or turning on the engine. These systems can also be used to provide an additional layer of security for cars that have remote controls from the factory (Brand dependant) and provide additional security for electric vehicles and those with keyless entry.
If you're looking for a new level of security for your BMW then the Autowatch Ghost is an ideal solution. It is nearly impossible to detect since it is hidden in the wiring. It doesn't use LED indicators or keys-fobs, which can prevent a criminal from noticing its presence.
No Electronics Detected
As a leading Thatcham installer we install a brand new and innovative product manufactured by Autowatch called the Ghost Immobiliser. It effectively stops Keyless Entry theft or cloning that is on the rise in modern automobiles. It is a secret device that does not rely on LED indicators or key fobs. It utilizes the buttons in your car's factory to create a pin-code push sequence that is specific to you and is required before your vehicle can start or be moved. The car won't move or start unless this sequence is properly entered. A lot of insurance companies require this device to be installed as standard, and it can often result in a reduction of monthly costs.
It is not necessary to cut wires in order to install it, as it connects to the CAN bus and works through the ECU. The device is not able to be detected by diagnostic tools that hi-tech thieves use and there is no way to detect the telltale clicking of a conventional relay as on a more conventional security device. Ghost Immobilisers are able to be set to a service mode, which allows your vehicle to start without the PIN code. This is useful for transporting it to garages or a valet parking service. The PIN code can be changed to provide additional security at any time.
The Ghost II is TASSA approved which means that it is only available from fully certified installers. This provides a high level of security. It also means that the Engineer who installs it has been DBS verified and is also insured, trained and certified.
