It only makes sense to safeguard our vehicles as they are an object of pride and joy. The Autowatch Ghost is a discreet vehicle immobiliser which connects to your vehicles CAN data network. It works through the ECU (your cars brain).

No key fobs or LED indicators to give away its location.

The Ghost Immobiliser does not use key fobs or LED indicators which means it is almost undetectable to anyone who gets into your vehicle. The system makes use of buttons that are already in use, such as the centre console or the steering wheel to create an unique, programmable pin code sequence that has to be entered before the car will start. The system can be configured to require up to 20 press of the buttons before the engine will begin, making it virtually impossible for thieves to copy your keys or hack into your vehicle.

Modern car thieves use professional diagnostic tools to detect what security systems are fitted to vehicles, but the Ghost does not transmit signals like conventional security systems do. Criminals can determine the type of security equipment that is installed in your vehicle using sophisticated scanners for RF such as code grabbing, relay and attack methods. This will allow them to alter the alarm or immobiliser circuits to disable the system and get away with your vehicle.

In contrast to other immobilisers on market, the Ghost is integrated into your vehicle's CAN data network, so it is virtually impossible to hack and bypass. The system also works with many newer vehicles that don't have built-in key fob security. It is also utilized in electric vehicles, and it can even prevent the vehicle from going into an "service valet" mode.

The Ghost is an immobiliser CAN bus that safeguards your car more than anything else. It's not linked to LED indicators or key fobs, however, it communicates directly with the vehicle's CAN system. It will then block the ECU and stop the engine from starting until a specific PIN is entered on the dash or steering wheel buttons (brand dependent). This means it is impossible for hackers to hack' into the system by using relay attacks or any other method and cannot be disabled with a few button presses like with older systems.

The system is equipped with the Service and Valet mode that is activated when the vehicle is in a garage for servicing, or valet parking. The vehicle can be started for a short period while being worked on without having to enter the pin code or hand over the keys. It will then automatically shut down once you return the vehicle.

This makes the Ghost a much more secure solution for classic, sports or luxury vehicles that require battery isolation while parked for extended periods of time. It's also undetectable by the latest RF scanning technology and code grabbing, making it difficult for hackers or thieves to evade.

Instead, the system utilizes the buttons on your car to create a unique pin code push sequence. This is done using the buttons on your steering wheel or door panels, or the centre console. It is also a reversible number and not a PIN like a remote fob, which makes it extremely difficult to hack.

This makes the Autowatch Ghost very secure and incredibly hassle free to use. It doesn't require the use of a smartphone, but it can be used using a small waterproof tag or an Apple or Android App (sold separately). You can switch to service mode with your mobile device and drive away. Then you return the car to valet-mode & disable your mobile. This is ideal for classic cars and high-end automobiles that are typically serviced at dealer garages.

These CANBUS immobilisers can be connected to other external security products like alarms and trackers (Brand dependant). This gives the user to decide if they wish to put their tracker or alarm over the imobilisers CAN bus. This is particularly helpful in the event you have a Thatcham approved Tracker fitted since the tracker can be armed before the Ghost is activated.

The CANBUS immobilisers utilize the cars CAN data bus to stop the codes that are expected to be transmitted to the ECU and BCM controllers using the remote keys that came with it, this prevents them from starting the car or activating the engine.

There are a variety of ways to fool the driver into believe that the keys are still inside the car, and thereby allow theft to occur.
