Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Review

Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is the next generation in vehicle security. It is inaccessible to thieves, and it is impossible for them to open the car without a unique pin code.

What is a ghost immobiliser?

A Ghost Immobiliser helps protect your vehicle from theft by preventing it from starting until a unique pin code is entered. It is a solution for various vehicles. And, unlike the standard vehicle immobiliser it doesn't require a fob or key to operate. It is also difficult to hack or bypass and works in silence. This means that a thief will need to be quick to get away without being detected.

It guards against signal jamming, spoofing, and key cloning - all methods that thieves have used to unlock vehicles equipped with standard immobilisers. It also stops thieves from stealing keys by fishing through your letterbox or getting inside your home to take the remote control. It could even stop them from stealing your pride and joy if they have managed to steal the key, as it prevents them from starting the vehicle without entering a code first.

In contrast to passive immobilisers which require the fob or key to be pressed, a ghost immobiliser is designed to be completely enclosed within the engine and connects directly to the vehicle's CAN data circuit.

The system can be switched into the service mode, which allows your car to drive and start for short periods of time without needing an PIN code. However, the service mode will be terminated depending on speed and time.

As a result of the technology used, it is unable to be hacked or bypassed, even when using high-tech equipment such as RF scanning or code grabbing devices. It is also impossible to disable with an ordinary vehicle immobiliser since it doesn't transmit an RF signal like a standard immobiliser and only connects directly to the data circuit in CAN.
