20 Myths About Ghost Immobiliser Fitting: Dispelled

Get a Ghost Immobiliser Fitted to Protect Your Vehicle

The Autowatch Ghost 2 immobiliser (click) is a new generation car immobiliser that guards your vehicle against key (and keyless) theft, cloning, and hacking relays. It is a discrete device which is connected to the vehicles data network CAN and operates silently.

It requires a PIN code that is comprised of buttons on the steering column or centre console. It can be activated in service mode, letting the vehicle start temporarily when needed.

No Radio Signals

If you're looking to safeguard your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and key theft, then getting a ghost immobiliser fitted is a great way to do it. The system is silent and is hidden within the vehicle, and does not use radio signals to communicate. This makes it extremely difficult to detect by thieves using radar scanning devices, as they can't see it or hear it.

It also stops the cloning of your key fob by preventing the communication between the vehicle's CAN data network and the keyfob. Organised car ghost immobiliser thieves often employ sophisticated code-grabbing and radio frequency scanning technology to snoop and disable security systems in automobiles. Ghost immobilisers, however, are not visible to thieves because they do not emit any RF signals and are integrated into the vehicle's CAN data network, which means that there are no circuit cuts during installation and fitting, which makes them totally inaccessible.

The ghost immobiliser prevents your vehicle from moving and also prevents it from starting. This is perfect if you will park your vehicle in a public area such as a garage or supermarket or if a valet will be parking it for you. This feature can be activated through a simple app on an iOS or Android phone.

With the aid of a GPS tracker, your vehicle can also be tracked. This can assist you in recovering your vehicle if it's stolen. In recent times, thieves have been able to bypass the security of vehicles through hacking the OBD port of the vehicle. However, this can be avoided by using a ghost immobiliser which communicates directly with the vehicle's ECU via the CAN data circuit. This is not visible to high-tech diagnostics tools and completely silent so that a thief is unable to insert a key or replace the ECU in order to start the vehicle.

The device is fully reversible, and it will not affect the warranty of your vehicle. If you are interested in a ghost immobiliser, be sure you find an TASSA approved installer. This will ensure the installer has passed a string of checks including identity and CRB.

No Circuit Cuts

When it comes to protecting your vehicle from theft via contactless, a ghost immobiliser is the perfect solution. It is concealed in your vehicle and stops the engine from being started until certain buttons are pressed in sequence (similarly to the PIN number on your smartphone).

It doesn't use radio frequency or key fobs for communication therefore there is no noise or LED to indicate its presence. It connects to your vehicle through the CAN data system and operates in complete silence to protect your vehicle from thieves who do not want to be seen.

Many drivers are looking for ways to protect their vehicles from theft, as car theft is on the rise. Unfortunately, theft of high-value vehicles is more common than ever before, and with the right equipment, thieves can strip of a vehicle in just a few hours. It is therefore important to protect your car against this type of crime by installing a ghost immobiliser.

Autowatch's ghost immobiliser is a reliable and unique solution to this problem. It uses the CAN data bus to communicate to your vehicle and prevent the engine from beginning until you enter a pre-set pin number that is unique to you. The code can be entered by using existing buttons on your steering wheel center console or door panels. It can also easily changed if necessary.

It is also extremely difficult to detect, as it does not have any LED indicators, a frequency or other clues that can provide thieves with an indication as to its existence. Furthermore, it does not require cutting wires or any other devices from the aftermarket or devices. It can also be deactivated remotely with the Autowatch app in the event that you're having your vehicle repaired or valeted.

A ghost immobiliser from Autowatch is therefore the best solution to prevent contactless thefts and secure your vehicle. It is an TASSA verified device, meaning that it's recognised by large authorities like police forces and insurance companies. At Car Specialist Customs, we are certified installers of this unique system and can help you secure your vehicle without the need to purchase additional keys or wires.

No Key Fobs

A ghost immobiliser doesn't depend on the key fob to connect with the vehicle. It makes use of buttons in your car, like the ones on the steering wheels and door panels, to generate a unique code sequence you have to enter to start your car. The system is completely undetectable because it doesn't emit radio signals and communicates with the ECU via the data circuit of CAN, which means it can't be identified by diagnostic tools or keys stolen.

This means that even if thieves have the original key fob they will need to know the exact pin code sequence to successfully start your vehicle. The system also blocks key cloning and signal jamming and device-spoofing the methods employed by thieves to open vehicles with an immobiliser.

Ghost immobilisers are an excellent method of protecting your vehicle from thieves, especially if you've spent lots of money and time customising it or have an expensive, rare or expensive car. The system can be remotely deactivated using a mobile app on iOS and Android and is an excellent feature for those who are not sure who holds keys to your vehicle or where the car is parked.

Another useful feature of the ghost immobiliser is that it can protect your vehicle from attacks of frequency amplification based on relays. This is a very popular technique for high-tech thieves who want to steal PKE equipped vehicles. They record the frequency of the key fob and send it to a coconspirator who then uses the remote starter to start the car. The system will stop this from happening by disconnecting the battery from the key fob after just a few minutes of inactivity.

The Autowatch Ghost system also has many other features that help to ensure your car is secure, including the ability to stop ECU swapping and key copying. By connecting to the ECU through the CAN data network it is not possible for thieves add new keys or swap out your ECU to bypass the system. The system requires you to enter an individual pin code to allow you to start your car. This can be done using the phone app which makes it difficult for thieves to hack your vehicle.

Service Mode

Whether you're an experienced car thief or just starting out on the criminal career path, the equipment you need to scan and clone your vehicle is becoming increasingly cheaper & easier to get hold of. You can even purchase the entire cloning kit to your vehicle online, which makes it more important than ever that you protect your vehicle by putting it in an immobiliser.

A ghost immobiliser is an invisible device that works with your current key fob to prevent your vehicle from starting unless an individual PIN code sequence is entered. This sequence is created by pressing buttons on your vehicle, like those located in the steering wheel or on the door panels. Only you have this pin code, and only you are able to start the engine. Without this, thieves won't be allowed to drive your vehicle away, even if they have your keys.

The ghost communicates directly with the ECU via the CAN network. This means that there's no risk of causing damage to the vehicle. It's also a more discreet alternative that doesn't rely on LED indicators or key fobs. It is virtually undetectable to anyone other than the owner of the car and doesn't affect jamming devices or circuit cuts. It's also safe against keyless entry and device spoofing technology.

In addition to making it harder for thieves to steal your vehicle, a ghost immobiliser can aid in reducing your insurance premiums. It's because there's no sign of installation, and the insurance company will assume that you have a standard anti-theft system in place.
