As car theft increases, consumers are constantly looking for ways to stop it. The ghost immobiliser does exactly what it says on the tin.
It’s the world’s first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that shields your vehicle from hacking, key cloning or keyless entry. It also prevents thieves from stealing your vehicle.
No Faraday Bags and Radio Signals
Unlike other physical anti-theft devices like wheel locks or steering wheel clamps, ghost immobilisers are 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 running until you enter a specific PIN code in conjunction with your key fob. The PIN code can be up to 20 presses long and is altered by the driver via an app or buttons on the vehicle. If you lose your pin, a button fails or you sell your car there’s an emergency pin code specific to every device that can be used to reset the system.
Ghost immobilisers have the added benefit of not being detected by devices for diagnostics and do not emit radio frequency signals. This means that thieves cannot utilize sophisticated scanning technology to identify a security device. They also utilize the CAN data network which does not require wire cutting after installation and is more quiet than other immobilisers.
Although ghost immobilisers are not Thatcham approved but they are TASSA approved and some insurers offer reduced insurance rates for vehicles that have an aftermarket immobiliser fitted. They are however recognised as an additional layer of security and could be a way to deter thieves from attacking your vehicle of choice.
Autowatch Ghost is unlike factory-fitted immobilisers as it can be used with a range of vehicles that include vans and motorhomes. It also works with electric vehicles, ride-on lawnmowers, and even motorhomes. This makes it more adaptable than other anti-theft devices and it can be used in conjunction with vehicle trackers to provide the most effective car security system.
