How To Get Better Results From Your Ghost 2 Immobiliser Fitting Near Me
Ghost Immobiliser Review
As the number of car thefts increases, consumers are constantly looking for a way to prevent it. Ghost immobilisers are a perfect solution for what it says on the tin.
It's the first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser in the world that protects against key hacking or cloning and prevents thieves from taking your vehicle.
No Faraday Bags and Radio Signals
Unlike other physical anti-theft devices like wheel locks or steering wheel clamps, ghost immobilisers have been designed to be hidden and inaccessible. They are integrated into car buttons and offer protection against key cloning. A ghost immobiliser prevents the engine from starting until you enter a chosen PIN code sequence alongside your key fob. This PIN code can be as long as 20 presses long, and is changeable by the driver via an app or on the buttons of the vehicle. If you forget your pin an item breaks or you sell your vehicle or sell it, you can use an emergency PIN that is unique to each device to reset the system.
Ghost immobilisers have the added benefit of being unnoticeable by diagnostic equipment and don't emit radio frequency signals. This means that thieves are unable to use sophisticated scanning technology to identify an immobiliser. They also make use of the CAN data network that does not require cutting wires upon installation and is quieter than other immobilisers.
Although ghost immobilisers may not be Thatcham approved but they are TASSA approved and some insurance companies offer reduced insurance rates for vehicles with an aftermarket immobiliser fitted. However, they are accepted as an additional layer of security that can deter thieves.
Contrary to immobilisers that are factory fitted, the Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is designed to work with a variety of vehicles including motorhomes, electric cars, vans and ride-on lawnmowers. This makes it more flexible than other anti-theft systems and it can be used in conjunction with vehicle trackers to create the best car security package.

This is similar to the way you enter the pin code to protect your bank card. It is not affected by cloning, or ECU swapping that would normally disable the factory immobiliser.

Simple PIN Code Change Process
In contrast to key fobs, which utilize an unlock code to open the ECU and then start your car, ghost immobilisers communicate with the vehicle's ECU via its own CAN data network. They are therefore undetectable, silent and inaccessible to diagnostic tools. Furthermore, the technology in these systems means that they can be installed to a diverse range of vehicles including trucks, motorhomes and plant machinery.
Our Autowatch Ghost system was created to offer complete security against theft. It blocks your vehicle from being started without either the unique PIN code or smartphone app with the Ghost app installed. This is a incredibly high level of security that can help secure your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and ECU swapping.
The reason it's safe is that there is no requirement to add extra components like key fobs, LED indicators or a remote. The device makes use of the buttons on your steering wheel and door panels instead of creating a sequence that can be modified prior to your car's start. It can be as long as 20 actions long, and is similar to a PIN number on your credit card.
As well as this, the device is completely concealed and won't give away the location of the device to burglars. Additionally, it does not use radio signals and operates on the CAN data network, which makes it completely undetectable to thieves using RF scanners.
A lot of car thieves try to remove the CAN chip from the ECU or even replace it to avoid detection, however this technique is only attainable by professionals with access to specialised equipment. This is the reason why the ghost immobiliser is effective and can be utilized to protect your car from various kinds of vehicle thefts.
Additionally, it can also be paired with an iPhone which you'll require if want to start the engine while your car is parked at home or work. This lets you enter and drive without needing a PIN code as the app can detect your phone when it's within close proximity. This functionality is available for any model of Autowatch Ghost, and you can connect as many smartphones it as you like.

The Autowatch Ghost can be fitted to a variety of vehicles. It can be fitted to motorhomes as well as caravans, as well as motorcycles and ride-on lawn mowers. Immobilisers can be installed on any vehicle as long as it has an electrical source.
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 begin. The driver is able to modify the sequence at any time. It can be comprised of up to 20 different actions. This is a much safer method of security than using a key fob by itself, as it means nobody else will be able to drive your vehicle. This prevents thieves from 'hacking the system in order to gain access the key code or information transmitted to the ECU of the vehicle from it.
