Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is the next generation in car security. It is inaccessible to thieves and impossible to start without a pin code or app authorisation.

What is a Ghost immobiliser and Tracker immobiliser?

A Ghost Immobiliser is a device that helps to protect your car against theft, by stopping the engine from running until you enter a specific pin code. It is a device that can be used on a wide range of vehicles, and unlike traditional immobilisers, it does not require a key or fob to operate. It is also very difficult to bypass or hack and operates silently, meaning thieves need to be quick to get away without being caught.

It guards against key blocking, signal jamming and spoofing, all of which are methods that thieves have used to unlock vehicles using standard immobiliser systems. It also stops thieves from stealing your keys by digging through your letterbox or breaking into your home to take the remote control. The device can stop thieves from taking your pride and joy even if they do manage to obtain the key. It will stop them from starting it until they enter the code.

In contrast to passive immobilisers which require a fob or key to be press, a ghost-immobiliser is designed to be sealed within the engine and connects directly to the vehicle's CAN data circuit. The system generates a pin code when you press buttons on the steering wheel, console or door panels of your vehicle. You must enter this code before the engine is able to start. The system can be put into a service mode, which allows your car to start and drive for short periods of time without needing an PIN code. However the service mode will be shut down according to speed and time.

It is impossible to hack or bypass the system, even with the most advanced equipment, such as RF scanners or code grabbing devices. It is also impossible to disable using a regular vehicle immobiliser because it doesn't send a signal as a standard immobiliser does and only connects directly to the data circuit of the CAN.
