Description

The Ghost Immobiliser, known as the original aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser, offers a unique form of vehicle protection that combats threats like key cloning, hacking, and even key theft. A few of its notable features include:

TASSA Verification: The Ghost Immobiliser is verified by TASSA (a third party consisting of industry experts from police and security testing backgrounds) [1].

Disarm Sequence: The Ghost doesn’t rely on traditional fobs or indications. Instead, it uses buttons in the vehicle, such as those on the steering wheel or door panels. A unique disarm sequence, which can be up to 20 presses long, must be entered before driving the car. It’s akin to a PIN code used for credit cards [1].

Smartphone App: A dedicated smartphone application connects to the Ghost-II and allows the user to get into the car and drive without entering the disarm sequence. This app can connect to two phones, and if the paired phone is in the range with Bluetooth enabled and the app running, the Ghost-II is disarmed automatically [1].

Additional Features:

Immobilisation by communicating with the ECU.
No transmitted radio frequency signals.
Uses the vehicle’s onboard CAN data network.
Service mode to ensure the disarm sequence remains secure.
Mobile application for quick disarm.
Protection against Key Cloning and Key Theft [1].

Installation & Cost: The Ghost can be installed in vehicles, starting at an RRP of £499, inclusive of VAT and installation. However, prices might vary based on location, vehicle type, and special offers [1]. Another source states the cost as £499 incVAT, which includes the Autowatch Ghost 2 unit and mobile installation [3].

Rise in Car Thefts: Due to global factors like the shortage of semiconductor computer chips and events like the Russia-Ukraine war and the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a notable increase in car thefts. The shortages have caused disruption in the car industry, leading to decreased production and longer waiting times for new vehicles. As a result, second-hand vehicles have become targets, with a reported increase in theft rates [1].

Ghost Installations: This UK-based company is a leading approved installer of the Ghost II Immobiliser. They offer a free nationwide installation service and provide the Ghost Immobiliser II by Autowatch, which is presented as a revolutionary immobilisation tool. They emphasize that the only way someone could potentially take a vehicle with this system installed is by towing it away
