As car theft rises consumers are constantly searching for a way to prevent it. The ghost immobiliser does exactly what it says on the tin.
It’s the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser on the market that protects against key cloning or hacking and stops thieves from taking your vehicle.
No Faraday Bags and Radio Signals
Ghost immobilisers, unlike other physical security measures such as wheel locks or steering wheel clamps, are designed to be invisible and hidden. They are integrated into the buttons of the vehicle and protect against key cloning. Ghost immobilisers stop the engine from running until you enter a pre-determined PIN code sequence alongside your key fob. The PIN code can be up to 20 presses long and can be changed by the driver using an app or by the buttons on the vehicle. If you lose your pin, a button breaks or you sell your car There’s an emergency PIN code that is unique to every device that can be used to reset the system.
In addition, ghost immobilisers are undetectable by diagnostic tools and do not emit radio frequency signals, which means that thieves aren’t able to employ sophisticated RF scanning technologies to detect the presence of an immobiliser. They also make use of CAN data network, which doesn’t require cutting wires for installation and is more quiet.
Although ghost immobilisers may not be Thatcham approved however they are TASSA approved and some insurance companies offer reduced rates for insurance on vehicles with an aftermarket immobiliser. However, they are recognized as an additional layer of security that could deter thieves.

The device is connected to the CAN (Control Area Network) which allows you to select a unique PIN push sequence – up to 20 digits in length – that is required to start your Range Rover or Land Rover J. This is similar to the way you enter the pin code to secure your bank card. It’s also not affected by the process of cloning or ECU swapping which can disable the factory immobiliser.
It is small and weatherproof, making it almost impossible to spot by thieves. It also communicates with the CAN data bus and so it operates in a quiet manner, making it difficult to spot. This makes it a great addition to your security system and is particularly useful since it can be used in conjunction with other Autowatch technologies, such as the Ghost Bluetooth tag. The tag lets you start your vehicle without entering your PIN number or the Ghost app.

Simple PIN Code Change Process
Ghost immobilisers, unlike key fobs that use a code in order to unlock the ECU of your car and then start it, communicate with the ECU via the CAN data network. They are therefore undetectable by diagnostic tools, silent and invulnerable to hack. Furthermore, the technology in these systems means that they are able to be fitted to a wide range of vehicles such as motorhomes, trucks and plant machinery.
Our Autowatch Ghost system has been designed to offer complete protection against theft. It stops your vehicle from being started without the PIN code or the smartphone app with the Ghost app installed. This is an incredibly high level security that will protect your vehicle against key cloning. Hacking and ECU Swapping.
The reason why it is safe is that there is no need to include additional components such as key fobs, LED indicators or a remote. Instead, it uses your existing buttons on your steering wheel and door panels to create a changeable sequence that must be entered prior to the time your vehicle can start. It can be as long as 20 actions long and is similar in function to a PIN code on your credit card.
The device is also completely hidden, so that thieves can’t locate it. It also doesn’t use radio waves and is based on the CAN network, making it totally invisible to thieves who use scanners that scan RF.
Many car thieves try to remove the CAN chip from the ECU or even replace it to avoid detection. However this technique is only possible by experts who have access to specialised equipment. The ghost immobiliser can protect your car from various types of vehicle thefts.
Additionally, it can also be paired with an iPhone which you’ll require if want to start the engine of your vehicle when it is in a garage at work or at home. This allows you to enter and drive without the need for a PIN code as the app will recognize your phone when it’s within the vicinity of. This functionality is available on all models of the Autowatch Ghost and can be paired with any smartphone you’d like.

The Ghost Immobiliser uses the buttons on the original key fob to create a secret disarm sequence (like a PIN code) that must be entered before the engine can start. The driver can change the sequence at anytime. It can include up to 20 different actions. This is a much more secure method of security than using the key fob on its own because it ensures that nobody else will be able to operate your vehicle. This prevents thieves from hacking the system to gain access to the key code or other information transmitted to the ECU of the vehicle from it.
