How To Save Money On Ghost Immobiliser Fitter

What is a Ghost Immobiliser and Tracker?

An immobiliser is a security feature that prevents your car from starting without the correct key or fob. It can also help reduce the cost of car insurance.

The ghost system generates an individual pin code by using the buttons on your vehicle's steering, centre console, or door panels. You can alter it. Think of it like an PIN for a credit card however, it is much more secure (up to 20 button press). It is undetectable and operates completely silently on the CAN data network.

Easy to install

Ghost immobilisers are device that is fitted to the engine of your car to prevent it from getting started without the correct PIN. It's not just easy to install but also tamper-proof and therefore a good choice for car owners in Bolton Rochdale.

The Ghost is a CAN bus immobiliser that safeguards your vehicle better than any other available. It guards your vehicle against key-cloning and hacking (relay attacks) as well as theft of your keys from home. By blocking the engine it protects your vehicle from being targeted by hackers.

As it sits on the CAN data network of your vehicle there is no wiring that needs to be added which means that it cannot be detected by sophisticated scanners, or even disarmed by simple wire cutting. It's also undetectable by the professional thieves who employ these methods since it doesn't transmit signals that can be picked up by diagnostic tools and doesn't emit a tell-tale chirp when activated like many other systems on the market.

The device utilizes the buttons that are on your car (steering wheels, door panels or centre consoles) to generate a unique and customizable PIN sequence that only you know. This is entered using your smartphone or an unidentified button on the Ghost device, and it is impossible for anyone else to use this sequence to start your vehicle unless they are you. This is the reason it is a great way to stop criminals from escaping, since they are unable to escape without notifying them of their presence.

If you decide to change your vehicle during the course of ownership, you are able to move the Ghost from one vehicle to another as provided that it is connected to an CAN bus that is compatible. It's a simple process that doesn't void your warranty because it uses the CAN data network. It's not necessary to change your steering wheel or status indicators. The best thing about the Ghost is that it's so much less expensive and simpler to install than a wheel lock, a tracking system or a tracker.

No key-fobs or LED indications to give away its location

We all consider our vehicle to be a pride and joy in our lives, with this in mind, it is natural that some are willing to spend a lot of money on keeping their vehicle clean. It is important to ensure that our cars are safe.

Criminals are becoming more ruthless and can hack into keyless entry systems to steal your car even while the keys are in the ignition. They can even do this inside your home. The criminals then employ a relay device to duplicate your car's unique signal and start it up without you knowing. These vehicles are typically equipped with trackers, but they can be disabled by using simple tricks.

Autowatch has developed an innovative solution to stop this, dubbed Ghost. It is the first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser on the market that safeguards your vehicle like no other. It is TASSA (Tracker and Aftermarket Security Systems Association), verified and insurance-approved, which means you can save money on your car insurance.

This innovative device was designed to be inaccessible by thieves. It uses the buttons on your dashboard and steering to generate a unique 20-digit PIN code that needs to be entered to start the vehicle. It is a system which is not able to be detected by the use of RF scanning or code grabbing technology. It can only be removed by a smartphone application downloaded by your key fob, or the presence of two smartphones together.

It is also silent, so that a burglar would not know that it is inside your vehicle. Furthermore since it is connected to the CAN data network, there are no wires to cut or removed, which means it can't be disconnected from the ECU to bypass the system.

Other features include a valet function that lets you start your car temporarily for cleaning or maintenance, a change of PIN function in case you forget your PIN, and the maintenance and service mode to ensure you can continue driving when you need to. The device can be installed at various locations within your car. Our certified Ghost installers will install it to ensure that there are no permanent marks on the interior of your car.

No RFID scanning or code-grabbing technology

The Ghost Immobiliser doesn't use RF scanning technology or code-grabbing, which is the method by which thieves target cars to steal key fobs and gain access to the computer in your car to generate blank keys for your vehicle. Instead, it utilizes the buttons already found in your steering wheel and dashboard to connect with your car. It is therefore very discreet and unnoticeable, as it is not visible. This also means that no extra wiring is needed, as the Ghost will function with your vehicle's CAN data networks which means that there aren't any circuit breaks when it is installed or operating and is quiet.

It stops anyone from starting your car without a unique pin or smartphone authorisation, so you will never have an empty vehicle. This means that even if your car is stolen through key cloning, relay theft or ECU swapping thieves won't be capable of starting your car, making them more likely to abandon it to avoid being found.

The buttons on the dash and steering wheel are used to create a secret password. The code is only available to you (like PINs on a credit card). The system will begin the engine in the service valet mode if you press. This mode requires a new PIN, or you can unlock it by using the Autowatch App on your smartphone. The app can also be used to lock and unlock your vehicle, allowing you to leave it for valeting or to drive away without having to worry about it being stolen or getting keys that are not correct.

The Ghost is a low-cost and discreet way to safeguard your vehicle from contactless theft. It is TASSA approved and could lower your insurance costs, so you can drive with confidence knowing that your car's pride and joy is secure. The Ghost is suitable for a variety of different types of vehicles, including motorhomes and vans and will ensure you are safe wherever you are.

No extra wiring

The ghost immobiliser is installed directly inside the vehicle and is connected to CAN data network. This is the reason it's so efficient. It doesn't require any keys from the market, but instead uses the buttons of your dashboard and steering wheel to generate an individual PIN sequence that must be entered before the motor is able to begin. This sequence can be as long or as short as you'd like and could even contain numbers or letters which makes it as secure as a credit card. You can alter it at any time.

It is important to note that unlike wheel locks or other after - market tracker devices, ghost isn't an approved product by Thatcham. However, due to how the device operates, it's TASSA recognized and approved by a variety of insurance companies as a safety measure that can lower your insurance premiums.

It's a great choice for those looking to ensure their vehicles are safe and secure while travelling abroad or for valet parking and service companies. The device can be set to Valet mode, which allows the driver to start the car and drive with parameters such as a 30mph speed limit without having to enter the pin code. The device can be turned off and then fully activated when returning to the car.

This feature is particularly useful for those who regularly use their vehicles, like taxi drivers or valet services. It can also be used to help family, friends, or colleagues at work, allowing them to temporarily start your car whilst it's in the garage for maintenance or washing. When you return to possession the Ghost can be reactivated using the PIN code.

Contrary to many other after - market security products unlike other security products that are sold aftermarket, the Ghost is fully sealed and extremely small, which means it can be hidden in your vehicle. Its small size also means there is no trace of the device and it will not harm your vehicle in any way.
