5 Killer Quora Answers On Immobiliser Ghost

Ghost Immobiliser Tracker

The Autowatch Ghost is a subtle immobiliser that blocks you from getting your car started without entering an entry code. It shields your vehicle from cloning, relay theft and hacking.

It does this by preventing the engine from starting unless you enter a PIN code (up to 20 numbers) using your vehicles buttons.

Theft Prevention

A ghost immobiliser tracker will make it much more difficult for thieves to take your vehicle. The device is connected to the car's CAN data network and a personalised code is programmed into it. This code is only entered by you using the buttons on your dashboard and the steering wheel. If someone attempts to start your vehicle it will be blocked from doing so because only you have the PIN. The system is discrete and undetectable. It is able to operate in the background without interfering with your driving experience.

The device is also resistant to the most popular method of theft in the UK known as relay attacks. This involves thieves working in groups of two or more. One thief is likely to be in close proximity to your vehicle while another typically in a nearby house or parked along the roadside, will use an electronic device to read your key-fob signal and send it to their relay. The Ghost II immobiliser stops the thief starting your car by blocking the signal from the fob.

This stops thieves from putting in an additional ECU or key to bypass the system in order to start your car. This is because it works quietly and doesn't emit the distinct click that traditional immobiliser relays do. It also stops circuit cuts which are a common method used by professional thieves to alter your car and make it more difficult to steal.

If a burglar is able to successfully get into your vehicle, the GPS tracking will alert you to their location and send you an SMS message of their movement. This gives you to report them to the police, and possibly return your vehicle.
