Ghost Immobiliser Cars
Ghost immobiliser cars are an advanced security device that protects your vehicle from hacking and key cloning. It is unnoticeable and leaves no marks after installation, which makes it a popular choice for owners of rare or expensive cars.
The buttons on your steering wheel, console and door panels are used to create an individual pin-code sequence (up to twenty characters) that is required to begin the engine.

Ghost immobilisers protect your vehicle from key cloning and hacking. It's a discrete electronic device that connects to your vehicle's data network and intercepts signals from the engine control unit (ECU). The system stops the engine from starting until you enter a specific PIN code. It ensures that thieves don't get away with your joy and pride.
The device is linked into the CAN bus of your vehicle, allowing it to intercept data that is exchanged between the ECU and other connected components in the vehicle. Its installation is a highly specialised process that requires expert installation and should be carried out by a certified installer. Once it is installed the device will be hidden inside your vehicle, making it undetectable to thieves. In addition to preventing engine start, it will detect vibrations as well as the movement of the components within the vehicle.
If a burglar attempts to disable the device the engine management lights will blink rapidly, and the horn will sound. This will alert the driver that there is a problem with the engine. They may panic and abandon their vehicle. This is a fantastic alternative to an immobiliser that is standard in that the owner of the vehicle can call authorities immediately when the vehicle is in danger.
The device can be disarmed via an application that can be accessed both by the owner and installer (even though most people will not forget their PIN). Some systems include a service/valet option which temporarily disables the immobiliser, allowing the driver who is trusted to drive the vehicle without the need for an authorization code. The system will be activated once the vehicle has exceeded 31 mph, and was driven for a specific period of time.
No Bluetooth or wireless connectivity
This means that it is not detected by the modern thieves using diagnostics to locate a circuit cut or hidden immobiliser and is unnoticeable because it doesn't use any radio signals. This makes it an effective deterrent to vehicle theft. The GHOST also has options for specific vehicle features such as gearbox lock (to prevent the engine from starting when it is in the gearbox) & anti-hijack that we can activate after installation.
The GHOST is installed by our certified installers to a variety of vehicles and is compatible with every Mercedes vehicle. Contrary to other products on market it is the only one that works. GHOST works with your vehicle's existing interfaces, such as buttons on your steering wheel and driver's side door cards or the centre console. This makes it a 21st century stealth immobiliser that operates independently of your factory-installed alarm or tracker. It does not display any sign of its existence when fitted into your vehicle and hence the name.
Contrary to some immobilisers which only have a pin code to disable the device and the Ghost can be disabled by entering in a secret sequence of key presses from the driver's mobile app. It is easy to perform and can be done anywhere in the world. You can alter the sequence as often as you wish but it's only visible to the app's creator.
You can also disable the GHOST in your satnav by entering in a different sequence. This makes it more secure and less attractive to thieves. In fact, this method is so effective that it was used to deter thieves. A Bentley Bentayga worth PS200k was recently stolen at the lights in a parking lot while it was stationary and the driver entered in their PIN to disable the device.
No annual fees
Although traditional immobilisers block vehicles from starting without the proper key fob, Ghost goes a step further and combats a range of methods used by thieves to steal vehicles. For instance, it can detect signals jamming, device spoofing and other techniques that make it more difficult to steal your car. The device requires a unique pin code or code sequence to start the vehicle. This discourages thieves and allows your vehicle to be left alone.
This makes it an ideal tool for cars with high-end features that are more at risk of theft. This means you can enjoy greater security and preserve the value for resale of your vehicle. Installing the Ghost Immobiliser may even reduce your insurance rates. The Ghost Immobiliser is more expensive than standard immobilisers, but the peace of assurance it offers is well worth the expense.
Ghost does not require an annual subscription. Instead, it works by connecting to your mobile phone using low-energy bluetooth. This creates a secure connection between your phone and the immobiliser, which makes it virtually impossible for thieves to intercept. Furthermore, there are no LEDs that can reveal the location of the device.
The Autowatch Ghost car immobiliser is simple to install and remove. Its "service valet" mode lets you to disable the immobiliser while taking your vehicle for service or checked. When you return, just enter the PIN code to enable your vehicle to start up again.
The Autowatch Ghost is also compatible with modern vehicles that don't have a factory-fitted immobiliser. It can be used to transfer between cars when you sell your old one in the event that the new car is compatible.
No need to memorise the PIN code
A ghost immobiliser is an extra layer that prevents thieves from starting your car even if they've copied or taken your key fob. It connects to your vehicle's control area network (CAN) system and shuts off the engine if you press the start button without entering a PIN sequence first. There's no brand new keypad to be fitted but instead, it makes use of buttons that are in your vehicle, such as the steering wheel, door panels, or the center console. It's not just untraceable to thieves, but it also protects your car's interior.
The Autowatch Ghost 2 is a discrete, electronic device that integrates into your car's ECU. This creates a barrier almost impossible for thieves to get through.
