Ghost Immobiliser Cars

ghost immobiliser review immobilisers are an advanced security device that protects your vehicle from hacking and key cloning. It is unnoticeable and leaves no marks behind after installation, making it a popular choice for owners of rare or expensive vehicles.

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

There aren't any keyfobs or LEDs or other indicators that can help you find it.

Ghost immobilisers are a new technology that protects your car from key cloning, hacking and theft. It is a discreet electronic device that connects to your vehicle's data network and intercepts signals from the engine control unit (ECU). The system stops the car's engine from starting until a specific PIN code is entered, making sure that thieves are unable to escape with your pride and joy.

The device is connected to the CAN bus of your vehicle which allows it to read data from the ECU and other components connected to the vehicle. Installation is a complex process and requires a certified installer. After installation the device will be hidden inside your vehicle which makes it unnoticeable to thieves. It is able to detect vibrations, as well as the movement of components and vehicle components.

If a criminal attempts to disable the device in this way, it can cause the lights for the engine management to flash quickly and the horn will honk. This will warn the driver that something is not right with the engine, causing the driver to panic and abandon the vehicle. This gives you an advantage over an ordinary immobiliser since the owner will be aware that the vehicle is in trouble and will contact the authorities immediately.

The device can be deactivated via an app, which is accessible to the owner and installer (even even though it's unlikely anyone will forget their PIN number!). Some models have a service/valet setting which temporarily disables the immobiliser which allows an authorized driver to drive the vehicle without having to enter a PIN. The system will activate once the vehicle has exceeded 31 mph and driven for a specified period of time.

There is no Bluetooth or wireless connectivities

It is therefore undetectable by modern thieves who use diagnostics to identify the hidden immobiliser or circuit cut. This makes it an effective security measure against theft of vehicles. The GHOST also comes with options for specific vehicle features like gearbox locks (to prevent the engine from starting while in the gearbox) and anti-hijack, which we can set up after installation.

Our approved installers can fit the GHOST to a wide variety of vehicles. It is fully compatible with all Mercedes vehicles. GHOST is distinct from other products available on market due to its compatibility with the existing interfaces of your vehicle, like buttons on the steering wheel, the door card on the driver's side or the central console. It is a stealth immobiliser for the 21st century that works independently of your alarm system installed by the factory or tracker.

The Ghost can be disarmed by entering a secret set of buttons that can be accessed through the driver's smartphone application. It's simple to accomplish and can be done from any place in the world. You can alter it as many times as desired but only the app's owner will be able to see the modifications.

It is also possible to disable the GHOST from the satnav in your vehicle by entering in an alternative sequence, making it even more secure as a way to deter against thieves. In fact this method is so effective that the Bentley Bentayga worth PS200k was recently stolen from the lights in a parking lot while it sat stationary and the driver inserted their PIN number to disable the device.

No annual fees

Although traditional immobilisers block vehicles from starting if they don't have the right key fob, Ghost goes a step further and fights a variety of methods used by thieves to steal vehicles. It can detect signal jamming as well as device spoofing and other methods to make it more difficult to steal your vehicle. The device requires a unique pin code or code sequence to start the vehicle. This deters thieves and encourages them to leave your vehicle alone.

This makes the device a valuable asset for high-end vehicles that are at greater chance of being stolen. You can therefore enjoy increased security and protect the value for resale of your vehicle. In addition installing the Ghost Immobiliser can even reduce your car insurance premiums. The Ghost Immobiliser is more expensive than traditional immobilisers, but the peace mind that it provides makes it worth it.

Ghost is not a requirement for an annual subscription. It connects to your phone via low-energy bluetooth. This creates a secure connection between your phone and the immobiliser, making it nearly impossible for criminals to penetrate. There are also no LED indicators to show the whereabouts of the device.

The Autowatch Ghost car immobiliser is easy to install and remove. Its'service valet mode' allows you to turn off the immobiliser when you take your car to be serviced or MOTed. When you return, simply enter the PIN code in order to allow your vehicle to start up again.

The Autowatch Ghost is also compatible with vehicles of the latest generation that don't have a factory-fitted immobiliser. It can be used to transfer between cars when you sell your previous vehicle, as long as the new vehicle is compatible.

There is no need to remember a PIN code

Ghost immobiliser cars are an additional layer of security that prevents tech-savvy thieves from starting your car even in the event that they've copied your key fob or stolen it. It connects to your car's control area network (CAN) system and shuts down the engine when you press the start button without entering a PIN code sequence first. It doesn't require a new keypad, but instead uses buttons on your vehicle such as the steering wheel and door panels as well as the central console. This means it's not only undetectable to thieves, but keeps the appearance of your car's interior.

The Autowatch Ghost 2 immobiliser is an electronic device that works with your car's ECU to create an impossible security barrier that thieves cannot penetrate. It is completely silent and doesn't emit radio signals, so it's completely invisible to traditional RF scanning technology used by thieves to capture the signal from your key fob, and then copy it. It's a TASSA certified product, which means it has been tested independently to the highest standards. Certain insurance companies recognize this as an important feature to protect your vehicle's security.

If you have to surrender your vehicle for service, valet parking or a friend can drive it for you, then the ghost CAN immobiliser could be turned on to 'Service/Valet mode'. You can change this mode using the unique pin code that is only known to you. This can be changed at anytime.

The manual that came with your ghost immobiliser tracker will guide you through this quick and simple process. It will explain how to enter the code and how to reset it in case you forget.

Simple to reset

Since its introduction, ghost immobiliser vehicles have been the top choice in vehicle security. By utilising undetectable positioning, communication with CANBus to ECU technology and a unique pin code entry, it's been able to keep one step ahead of most determined thieves. Unlike other immobiliser systems it doesn't need an ignition key or other wireless connectivity to function and can be removed from your vehicle if you decide to sell it.

As with any other security measure or password it's inevitable that you'll forget the PIN code for your ghost immobiliser. If this happens, don't worry as it is easy to reset. You can obtain an emergency code by contacting the installer who installed your system. It's usually hidden beneath a scratch-off section on a card that was provided at the time of installation, and it's essential to keep it in a safe place.

The Emergency Code will allow you to regain access to your vehicle so that you can drive it as usual and is a great option in situations where you need to surrender your vehicle to valet parking or service for example. You can also use it to make sure that your car is safe when you are away to ensure that no one else is able to start the motor.
