Car Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser is a sophisticated system that blocks your car from starting without an exclusive pin code sequence, inputted via buttons already in use (such as those on the dashboard or on the steering wheel). The device is inaccessible to thieves and is quiet to operate.
It also helps in preventing newer methods, such as hotwiring and relay thefts. It could also result in an improvement in your insurance cost.
No Radio Frequencies
Ghost immobilisers differ from a standard one in that it doesn't transmit radio frequency, making it impossible for thieves to evade the device by using a low-cost tool for cloning. Ghost immobilisers stop your car from starting if the thief has cloned or stolen your key.
A ghost immobiliser could also be used to stop relay attacks. The signal from your keyfob is amplified to trick the system to allow your car to begin. The Ghost will be able to detect this and refuse to start your vehicle, requiring you to input the PIN code. This is an excellent way to stop thieves with access to low-cost and easy-to-use equipment to clone or take your vehicle.
The Ghost can be set up discreetly and will not cause damage to your car. It will only function once the correct pin sequence has been entered. This is only known by the owner, and no one else can use your vehicle unless they have your pin code. Some systems allow owners to set up valet or service mode to temporarily allow another person to drive the vehicle without having to disclose their pin code, protecting them from opportunistic thieves.
In addition to being user-friendly and easy to disarm, the Ghost can be linked up with an auto tracker to make it possible to track your car. Some insurance companies will give you a discount on your car insurance if you have a Ghost installed which is a great benefit for the safety of your vehicle and its contents.
Although the Ghost immobiliser isn't Thatcham approved but it is an aftermarket product that has been tested by an independent party and proved to be effective. Ask the seller of a secondhand vehicle that has the Ghost installed to transfer it to your vehicle. This will ensure that your new car is more secure than if the previous owner had not transferred it.
No Circuit Cuts
Even if your car is stolen, thieves will not be able to unlock it. They'll need to know the sequence of buttons utilized to unlock your vehicle and will be unable to do so without being in possession of this knowledge. This will deter them further and ensure that they do not attempt the theft in the first place since they may not be able to leave with the car.
If you have a GPS tracker on your Ghost could also serve as an anti-theft gadget since it can send an alert to the tracker, which will sound a siren to warn the tracker of an attempts to steal. This feature can be turned on at any time via your online dashboard.
When you connect your Ghost to the CAN data network it will identify your vehicle and the owner using the unique pin code you programmed during installation. This allows the device to communicate directly with the ECU of your vehicle and immobilise its engine. This means that only the car's owner or a person with the PIN code, is able to start the engine.
Since the pin code is made from buttons that are within easy reach of the driver (such as cruise control and stereo mute) it is mathematically inaccessible to be deciphered by potential thieves. Your technician will also provide you with an emergency Pin Code override card which is similar to a scratch-off lottery ticket and only requires scratching off to reveal the code and the directions.
Your Ghost isn't detected by these methods, as it doesn't use circuit breakers or radio frequencies. This makes it unaffected by modern techniques employed by organised groups of thieves that specialize in RF scanning and code-grabbing technology. It is a product that lasts for a lifetime that is easily removed from your vehicle once you sell it. This means that you will not lose any security that you have invested in.
No Key Fobs
With rising vehicle theft in the UK, proactive measures are needed to safeguard cherished vehicles from thieves who are opportunistic. The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is a groundbreaking device that offers an extremely robust defense against key hacking, cloning, and attacks on signals relay. It is a discrete and highly effective security system for cars that is easy to install in a vast range of vehicles.
The Ghost immobiliser is not an ordinary system that relies on key fobs. It also doesn't make use of a signal relay. It is not affected by signal interception, and it cannot be activated with stolen or damaged remotes. It is also tamper-proof and has no external wiring, which makes it difficult to remove or disable.
It shields you from key-long hacking as well as key theft by preventing your engine from starting until a specific PIN is entered. This is accomplished by using buttons that are already on the vehicle, for example those on the steering wheel and door panels.
It will only work only if you enter the correct pin code. This makes it difficult for thieves to take your vehicle, and is simple to use. If you're worried about forgetting your pin code and want to know the pin code, request the installer to provide you with a driver's fob that lets you drive the car like you normally.
The absence of key fobs or LED indicators also means that the Ghost immobiliser cannot be detected by diagnostic equipment or RF scanners used by thieves to determine the presence of the system. This method of installation is more stealthy, which increases the effectiveness of the system and allows the system to be fitted in a place where it would be difficult for thieves to access.
Ghost immobilisers can be an inexpensive, yet highly effective in deterring thefts and increase the value of your vehicle. Some insurance providers will also recognise them and offer reduced rates.
No Damage
You can rest assured that your vehicle will be protected from cloning and hacking as well as key fob theft, as well as other common theft methods, if it is equipped with an immobiliser. This is especially important if you've put in a lot of money and time customising your car or own an expensive or rare model. Ghost immobilisers operate silently, leaving no evidence of instillation, and requiring no new parts to be put in.
The system lets you create a pin code that must be entered in order for the engine to begin. It works by using buttons on your steering wheel or console, as well as on your door panels. You can change the sequence at any time. This means that even if a person has your pin number, they are not able to start your car. The device can also be disabled in the service valet mode, so that you can take your car away for servicing or cleaning without activating it.
The burglar won't be in a position to start your vehicle when it's cloned, so they will be caught. The system can also notify you of any tampering of the wiring in your vehicle like signal interception or cutting. This information can be transmitted to your smartphone to ensure that you are aware of the security status of your vehicle.
You might decide to turn off or remove the Ghost Immobiliser for reasons, like for maintenance or resale. In this situation you must be extra careful not to harm the wiring of your vehicle. Wearing safety gloves and a flashlight is recommended during this process. It is also worth referring to any installation instructions or user manuals you might have to determine the specific location of the device.
Once the immobiliser is removed from the wiring system, it is possible to reconnect the battery to your car and then test to ensure that it works as intended and that all electrical components are working according to their intended purpose. You'll need soldering or electrical tape to insulate any wires that have been cut. Check to see if any exposed wires are in place and that any hanging wires are secured by zip ties or other suitable means. Finally, schedule a vehicle check-up with a professional to make sure that the removal process did not harm any other systems in your vehicle.
