Indisputable Proof You Need Bmw Ghost Immobiliser

Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser

It is only logical to protect our vehicles, because they are an object of joy and pride. The Autowatch Ghost system is a subtle immobiliser that connects to the vehicle CAN data network and functions via the ECU the car's brain..

The device is akin to a PIN code on a credit card, will not permit your vehicle to move unless you enter a pin code sequence of up 20 presses.

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 almost undetectable to anyone who gets into your vehicle. The system utilizes buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console or door to generate a unique pin code that has to be entered in order for your car to begin. The system can be set to require up to 20 press of the buttons before the engine will start making it virtually impossible for thieves to copy your keys or hack into your vehicle.

Modern car thieves use professional diagnostic tools to determine what security systems are in place on vehicles. The ghost immobiliser installer however, does not transmit any signals. Using sophisticated RF scanning, code-grabbing technology and relay attack techniques, criminals can determine the kind of security equipment is fitted to your vehicle. This will permit them to modify the alarm or immobiliser circuits to disable the system and steal your vehicle.

Contrary to other immobilisers available on the market, the Ghost is integrated into your car or van's CAN data network, which means it is near impossible to hack and bypass. The system also works with a variety of newer vehicles that don't have built in keyfob security. It can also be utilized in electric vehicles and it is able to prevent the car from going into the "service valet" mode.

If it is installed by one of our fully certified engineers, we provide a TASSA confirmed guarantee to give you the peace of mind the installation is secure and of the highest standard.

No Circuit Cuts

The Ghost is the first aftermarket immobiliser for the CAN bus that protects your vehicle like nothing else available. Unlike other aftermarket car security devices it isn't linked to key fobs or LED indications and works by communicating directly with the vehicles CAN system. This enables it to block the ECU from starting and prevents the engine from running unless an individual PIN is entered through the dash of the vehicle or via the steering wheel buttons (brand dependant). This means that it is impossible for thieves to 'hack' into the system by using relay attacks or other methods and can't simply be disabled with a few button presses like with older systems.

The system also comes with the Service and Valet mode which is activated when the vehicle is in the garage for servicing or valet parking. The vehicle can be started for a short period while it is being repaired without having to enter the pin code or hand over keys. The system will automatically stop itself when you have returned the vehicle.

Instead, the system uses the buttons in your car to create a unique pin code push sequence. This is done using the buttons on your steering wheel or door panels, or the centre console. It can also be changed and is not a PIN number like a remote key fob which makes it very difficult to hack.

This is ideal for classic cars and prestige vehicles that are frequently taken to garages owned by dealers.

Brand-dependent, these CANBUS immobilisers work with other external security devices such as alarms or trackers. This allows the user to decide whether they want to put their alarm or tracker over the CAN bus imobilisers. This is particularly helpful when you have a Thatcham approved Tracker installed as the tracker can be activated prior to the Ghost is activated.

The CANBUS immobilisers use the cars CAN data bus to block the codes that could be transmitted to the ECU and BCM controllers via the remote keys that came with it, this prevents them from beginning the car or turning on the engine.

No Electronics Detected

As a top Thatcham Installer, we install the revolutionary new product called the Ghost immobiliser from Autowatch which prevents Keyless Entry theft and cloning which is increasing in modern automobiles. It is a hidden system that doesn't use LED indicators or key fobs. It utilizes the factory buttons in your car to generate an individual pin code sequence that you can push. This is required to start or move the car. The car won't move or begin to start until the sequence is properly entered. Many insurance companies are now insisting that this device be fitted as standard and can lead to a reduction in monthly costs.

It doesn't require the cutting of any wires to be connected since it connects to the CAN data bus and operates via the ECU (Engine Control Unit). The device isn't identified by sophisticated thieves using diagnostic tools, and are unable to detect the click of a traditional security device. The Ghost Immobiliser can also be configured into an operating mode that allows your vehicle can be driven and started without requiring the PIN code This is helpful when taking it to the garage, or for a valet parking service etc. The PIN code may be changed at any time to provide additional security.

The Ghost II is TASSA approved which means it is only available from fully certified installers. This gives you the highest level of security and the Engineer who installs it is DBS certified and insured. They are also trained and certified.

While it is not a replacement for an alarm system, we always recommend that you combine it with other physical barriers like wheel clamps and crook locks and, if you can, a hidden GPS tracker such as Meta Trak VTS to provide the highest level of security available. This is important, especially in the event that you've left your keys in the ignition while the vehicle isn't being driven. There are many ways to fool the driver into believe that keys are inside the car, and thereby allow theft to take place.
