Ghost Immobiliser Cars

A ghost immobiliser car is an advanced security device that protects your vehicle from hacking and key cloning. It is undetectable, and it leaves no trace after installation. This makes it a preferred choice for owners of expensive cars or rare cars.

The buttons on your steering wheel or console as well as the door panels are used to generate an individual pin-code sequence (up to twenty characters) that is required to start the engine.

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

A ghost immobiliser is an innovative piece of technology that guards your vehicle from key cloning, hacking, and theft. It's a hidden electronic device that is connected to your vehicle's data network and detects signals from the engine control unit (ECU). The system stops the engine from starting until you enter a specific PIN code. It makes sure that thieves don't get away with your joy and pride.

The device is linked into your vehicle's CAN bus and is able to intercept data that is exchanged between the ECU and other components connected to the car. Installation is a highly-specialized procedure that requires a certified installer. Once installed, it'll be hidden within your vehicle and therefore unrecognisable to thieves. It can detect vibrations, as well as the movement of car components and parts.

If a criminal attempts to disable the device in this way, it can cause the vehicle's engine management lights to flash quickly and the horn will honk. This will warn the driver that something is wrong with the engine, causing them to panic and leave the vehicle. This is a fantastic alternative to a standard immobiliser in that the owner of the vehicle will be able to call the authorities right away when the vehicle is in danger.

The device can be disarmed by an app that can be accessed both by the owner as well as the installer (even though most people will not forget their PIN). Certain systems come with a service/valet feature that will temporarily disable the immobiliser which allows a trusted driver to drive the vehicle without having to enter an authorization code. The system will reactivate after the vehicle has reached 31 mph and was driven for a specific period of time.

No Bluetooth or wireless connectivities

This means it cannot be identified by modern thieves who use diagnostics to identify the circuit's cut or hidden immobiliser. It's inaccessible because it does not utilize radio signals. This makes it a powerful protection against vehicle theft. The GHOST also has options for specific vehicle features such as gearbox lock (to stop the engine from starting when in a gear) and anti-hijack which we can set up for you upon installation.

The GHOST is installed by our certified installers to a wide range of vehicles and is compatible with every Mercedes vehicle. In contrast to other products on the market, the GHOST works with your vehicle's existing interfaces, such as buttons on your steering wheel or driver's side door card or centre console. This makes it an advanced stealth immobiliser that works independently of your factory-installed security alarm or tracker, and does not show any evidence of its existence once fitted into your vehicle, hence its name.

The ghost immobiliser problems can be disarmed by entering a secret sequence of buttons from the driver's smartphone application. It is easy to perform and can be done anywhere in the world. You can change the sequence as many times as you wish and it's only visible to the app's creator.

It is also possible to disable the GHOST on the satnav in your vehicle by entering in a different sequence, making it more secure as a deterrent against thieves. In fact, this method is so effective that it was used to deter thieves. A Bentley Bentayga worth PS200k was recently stolen at an intersection of lights as it sat stationary and the driver entered their PIN number to disable the device.

No annual subscriptions

Ghost is a more sophisticated immobiliser that combats the various techniques used by thieves to steal vehicles. It is able to detect signal jamming such as device spoofing, signal jamming, and other techniques to make it harder to steal your vehicle. The device requires an individual pin code or code sequence in order to start the vehicle. This deters thieves and encourages thieves to leave your car completely.

This makes it an ideal tool for cars with high-end features that are at greater risk of being stolen. In the end, you can enjoy improved security and increase the value of your vehicle to be resold. In addition the Ghost Immobiliser could reduce your car insurance premiums. While the device is pricier than conventional immobilisers but the security it provides is worth the cost.

Unlike other devices, auto ghost immobiliser doesn't require an annual subscription. Instead, it works by connecting to your mobile via low-energy bluetooth. This creates an encrypted connection between your phone and the immobiliser, which makes it virtually impossible for criminals to penetrate. There are no indicators in LEDs to indicate the whereabouts of the device.

The Autowatch Ghost is a reliable car immobiliser that's simple to install and remove from your vehicle. Its "service valet mode" allows you to disable the immobiliser when taking your car for service or MOTed. Enter the PIN code once you return to your vehicle.

The Autowatch Ghost can also be used with newer vehicles that do not have an immobiliser fitted at the factory. It can be used to transfer between cars when you sell your old one, as long as the new car is compatible.

There is no need to remember a PIN code

A ghost immobiliser car is an additional layer of security that prevents tech-savvy thieves from starting your vehicle even when they've copied your key fob or stolen it. It connects to your car's control area network (CAN) system and shuts off the engine if you push the start button without entering a PIN sequence first. There's no new keypad installed but instead, it makes use of buttons on your vehicle, for example the steering wheel, door panels, or centre console. This means it's not just inaccessible to thieves, but also keeps the appearance of your vehicle's interior.

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser 2 2 immobiliser is a discrete electronic device that works with your car immobiliser ghost's ECU to create an impossible security barrier that thieves cannot break through. It's completely inaccessible to thieves using traditional RF scanning technologies to capture and copy the signal from your keyfob. It's a TASSA verified product, which means that it's been independently tested to the highest standards and is acknowledged by some insurance companies as a beneficial feature to protect your vehicle's security.

You can change the ghost CAN immobiliser into "Service/Valet Mode" if you need to give your vehicle away for valet parking, service or have a driver for you. This mode can be switched by a pin number that only you know.

It's a quick and simple process that you can do with the help of the manual that comes with your ghost autowatch immobiliser. It will show you how to enter the code and how to reset it if you forget.

Easy to reset

Since its debut the ghost immobiliser vehicle has proven to be a major factor in the security of vehicles. Utilizing undetectable position and communication using CANBus to ECU tech and unique pin code entry, it's been able to remain one step ahead of the most ruthless thieves. In contrast to other immobiliser systems, it doesn't need an ignition key or other wireless connectivities to function and can be removed from your vehicle if you decide to sell it.

As with any security measure or password it's inevitable that you may forget the PIN code of your ghost immobiliser. If this does occur it's not necessary to worry about it because it's simple to reset. You can get an emergency code by contacting the installer who installed your system. The code is typically concealed under the scratch-off portion of the card you received at the time of installation. It's essential to store this safely.

The Emergency Code will allow you to regain access to your vehicle so that it can drive it as normal and is a great option for situations when you need to surrender your vehicle for service or valet parking for instance. You can also use it to make sure that your vehicle is secured while you are away, to ensure that no one else can start the motor.
