Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser
It is only logical to protect our vehicles, since they are an expression of pride and happiness. The Autowatch Ghost system is a discrete immobiliser that connects to your vehicle CAN data network. It operates via the ECU which is your car's 'brain'.
Once it is installed the device will stop your car from moving until the pin code sequence you choose (up to 20 presses) is entered, much like a PIN on your credit card.
No Key Fobs, LED Indications or LEDs to indicate its location
The Ghost Immobiliser does not use key fobs or LED indicators so it is virtually undetectable to anyone who gets into your vehicle. The system makes use of buttons that are already in use, such as the centre console and door buttons as well as the steering wheel to generate an unique, programmable pin code sequence that needs to be entered before your vehicle starts. The system can be programmed to require up to 20 presses of the buttons before the engine can begin, making it virtually impossible for thieves to clone your keys or hack into your vehicle.
Modern car thieves use professional diagnostic tools to determine which security systems are in place on vehicles. The Ghost however, doesn't send any signals. Using sophisticated RF scanning, code-grabbing technology, and relay attack methods criminals can detect the type of security equipment is in your vehicle. This will allow them to modify the immobiliser or alarm circuits to disable your system and steal your vehicle.
In contrast to other immobilisers on market The Ghost is incorporated into your vehicle's CAN data network, which means it is nearly impossible to hack and bypass. The system is compatible with modern vehicles that don't have keyfob security. It is also used in electric cars and can stop the car from going into a "service valet" mode.

No Circuit Cuts
The Ghost is the first aftermarket immobiliser for the CAN bus that protects your vehicle like no other available. It's not linked to LED indicators or key fobs but instead communicates directly with your vehicle's CAN system. This enables it to block the ECU from starting and prevents the engine running unless an individual PIN is first entered via the dash of the vehicle or via the steering wheel buttons (brand dependant). This makes it impossible for hackers to hack' into the system by using relay attacks or any other method and cannot be disabled by pressing several buttons as with some older systems.
The system also has an Service and Valet mode that is activated when the vehicle is in garage for servicing or valet parking. The vehicle can be started temporarily while it is being repaired, without the need to enter the pin code or hand over keys. It will then automatically disable itself once you have returned the vehicle.
The Ghost is a more secure alternative for classic, sports and prestige automobiles that must be isolated from the battery when they are parked for long periods. It's also not detected by modern RF scanning and code grabbing technology, making it difficult for thieves to bypass or hack.

Instead the system uses the buttons on your car to create a unique pin code push sequence. This is accomplished by using the buttons you have on your steering wheel, door panels or center console. This is also changeable and is not a PIN number like remote keys, which makes it very difficult to hack.
