Ghost Immobiliser Review
As car theft increases consumers are constantly searching for ways to prevent it. Ghost immobiliser is a revolutionary new device that can do just that.
It’s the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser on the market that is protected against key cloning or hacking and stops thieves from taking your vehicle.
No Faraday Bags or Radio Signals
Unlike other physical anti-theft devices like wheel locks for steering wheels and wheel clamps, ghost immobilisers have been designed to be covert and undetectable. They are integrated into the buttons of your vehicle they protect against key cloning, car immobiliser ghost hacking, ECU swapping and even key theft. Ghost immobilisers prevent the engine from starting unless you enter a specific PIN code along with your key fob. This PIN code is up to 20 presses long, and can be altered by the driver via an app or buttons on the vehicle. If you forget your pin an item breaks, or if you sell your vehicle, you can use an emergency PIN code that is unique to each device to reset the system.
Additionally Ghost immobilisers are not detected by diagnostic tools and don’t emit radio frequency signals, which means that thieves aren’t able to use sophisticated RF scanning technology to detect the presence of security devices. They also utilize the CAN data network, which does not require cutting wires upon installation and is quieter than other immobilisers.
Ghost immobilisers might not be Thatcham certified, but they are TASSA-approved. Some insurers will offer lower rates on insurance for vehicles with an aftermarket immobiliser. They are however recognised as an extra layer of security and have the potential to deter thieves from targeting your pride and joy.
Autowatch Ghost is unlike factory-fitted immobilisers because it can be used with a wide range rover evoque ghost installer of vehicles that include vans and motorhomes. It also works with electric vehicles, ride-on lawnmowers, and even motorhomes. This makes it more versatile than other anti-theft systems and can be paired up with vehicle trackers for the most comprehensive car security solution.

No Key Fobs or LED Indications
Unlike a wheel lock or other anti-theft devices that are physically installed, the ghost immobiliser is integrated into the wiring of your vehicle so it cannot be removed or overridden. Moreover, because it does not use LED indications or key-fobs it is much more difficult to locate and hack than a standard factory-installed immobiliser.
The device functions by connecting up to your vehicles CAN (Control Area Network) system and creating the creation of a unique PIN code push sequence that you choose – which can be up to 20 digits in length – that must be entered prior to when your Range Rover or Land Rover J will start. It’s similar to the method in which you would enter a pin number on your bank card to secure it. It is not affected by the process of cloning, or ECU swapping that would normally disable the factory immobiliser.
As it uses your vehicles buttons, it is weatherproof and incredibly small and compact, making it almost impossible for a thief to recognize. It also communicates with the CAN data bus, and as such it operates in a quiet manner, making it difficult to spot. This makes it a great addition to your security system and is particularly useful since it can be used in conjunction with other Autowatch technologies, for instance the Ghost Bluetooth tag. The tag allows you to start your vehicle without entering your PIN or the Ghost app.
Another benefit of the ghost immobiliser is that it will not leave visible marks on the interior of your vehicle which is an issue with some other aftermarket security products. This is especially attractive to those who want to keep their pride and joy as authentic as they can when it comes to reselling.
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser, a approved product by TASSA, could lower your insurance costs since it reduces your chances of your car being robbed. It is available for purchase from MotorGuard, the Midlands most trusted vehicle security specialist and installer. Our trained installers are ready to install this discrete and reliable security system for your vehicle’s pride and joy.

Simple PIN Code Change Process
Ghost immobilisers, unlike key fobs that require a code to unlock the ECU of your vehicle and start it to communicate with the ECU via the CAN data network. This makes them undetectable by diagnostic tools, inaudible and invulnerable to hack. They can be fitted to various vehicles, including motorhomes and trucks, as well as plant machinery.
Our Autowatch Ghost system was designed to protect you completely from theft. It stops your vehicle from being started without either the unique PIN code or the smartphone app that has the Ghost app installed. This is a remarkably high level security that will safeguard your vehicle against key cloning. Hacking and ECU Swapping.
The reason it is so secure is because there is no need to include extra components like key fobs LED indicators, key fobs, or a remote. The device uses the buttons on your door panels and steering wheel instead of creating an sequence that can be changed before your car starts. This could be up to 20 actions long and functions similarly to a PIN code on your credit card.
As well as this it is completely concealed and won’t divulge the location of the device to thief. It also doesn’t make use of radio waves and is based on the CAN network, making it completely invisible to thieves who use scanners with RF.
A lot of car thieves try to remove the CAN chip from the ECU or even replace it to avoid detection. However this technique can only be carried out by professionals who have access to the right equipment. The ghost immobiliser can protect your pride against many different kinds of vehicle thefts.
It can also be paired with an iPhone and you will need if you wish to start your car when it is located at home or at work. The app will recognize the phone and allow you to drive without needing a PIN code. This functionality is available for any version of Autowatch Ghost, and you can connect as many smartphones to it as you want.

The Ghost is a unit that is hidden in the wiring harness that is behind your dashboard. It connects to the data network in the CAN of your vehicle and communicates with the engine control units which makes it impossible to start your car without the correct sequence. The device is tiny and weatherproof, making it invisible to thieves. It can be hidden within the dash, beneath the steering wheel, or anywhere else on the vehicle.
Installation is quick and easy and most installations take only two hours. We explain how the Ghost performs in detail and provide the owner manuals and Installation certification. We also provide the emergency card.

The Autowatch Ghost can be fitted to a variety of vehicles. It can be added to motorbikes, motorhomes and caravans & ride on lawn mowers. As long as there is an electrical source, it is possible to be fitted with an immobiliser.
The Ghost Immobiliser uses the buttons on your vehicle’s original key fob to create an encrypted sequence to disarm (like a PIN code) that needs to be entered before the engine can be started. The driver is able to modify the sequence at anytime. It can contain up to 20 different actions. This is a safer method of security than using the key fob alone since it guarantees that nobody else will be able to drive your vehicle. It also stops thieves from ‘hacking’ the system to gain access to your key code, or the information sent to the vehicle’s ECU from it.
