Ghost 2 Immobiliser Reviews
The Ghost immobiliser is the latest in security for vehicles from Autowatch. It protects you from key cloning hacking as well as theft.
It uses buttons in your vehicle, such as the steering wheel and door panels to create a unique 20-digit PIN that must be entered prior to when the car can start. It's TASSA insurance approved meaning it will also lower the cost of insurance in many instances.
Discreet & Undetectable
The beauty of the ghost 2 immobiliser is that it's virtually unnoticeable. This device connects to the CAN data network and operates through your ECU (Engine Control Unit) therefore it can be put in a secure location, works silently and does not emit radio signals. The device is also extremely low-maintenance, which makes it simple to use without causing damage to your vehicle.
With an immobiliser CAN bus it is possible to create an individual pin code sequence that is up to 20 characters long. It can be entered using existing electronic buttons on your car, such as those on the steering wheel, app door panel or central console. It's very similar to the way you enter a pin code on your mobile phone. This will allow you to start and move your car, but a would-be criminal cannot take your vehicle without having the correct PIN code or having your smartphone in your possession.
Furthermore, the system is totally foolproof and in a position to be detected by tools that high-tech thieves often use. Unlike other immobilisers, which are typically activated by an immobiliser relay, the Autowatch Ghost communicates with your vehicle's ECU via its own CAN data circuit to prevent the engine from running. It's a simple way to protect your car particularly if it's modified or is costly or rare.
The immobiliser is not only effective in deterring thieves but it also prevents them creating a cloned ECU, or key, which are the most common methods of stealing vehicles today. It also comes with the option of a Service/Valet mode, which lets you disable the system during your MOT, or if you have your vehicle professionally cleaned. This means that no one will be able to drive away with your vehicle in the garage.
The Autowatch Ghost is a smart investment for your car, particularly if it's a valuable or rare model.
