GPS trackers have been around for some time now, and are used by many vehicle owners to keep their vehicles safe and secure. However, the Ghost Immobiliser boasts a host of new features designed to stop car thieves in their tracks.
Of course, when it comes to making a decision on which GPS Tracker is best for your car, you should consider getting help from a leading company in the supply of vehicle tracking systems. That way, you will know you’re getting the very latest up to date information on new vehicle security technology.
What you can be assured of is that the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser takes vehicle security to the next level due to its advanced technology and effectiveness in preventing theft and here’s why.
Foolproof Immobilisation Technology
Unlike traditional car alarms or steering wheel locks, which can be fairly easily bypassed by skilled thieves, a Ghost Immobiliser uses sophisticated immobilisation technology that makes it impossible for an unauthorised individual to start the engine. It typically integrates with the vehicle’s existing systems such as the ECU and requires a unique personalised pin code or sequence. The driver must put this in via dashboard buttons before the engine can be started. The ability to customise your pin code to your personal preference enhances the security of your car by making it difficult for thieves to guess or replicate the code.
If you forget your unique pin code your installer will have provided you with an Emergency Pin Code Override, meaning re-setting your pin is as simple as scratching off a card and following the instructions.
Stealthy Operation
The world’s first aftermarket CAN Bus immobiliser – now copied widely but less effective in some cases – the Ghost Immobiliser provides undetectable protection against theft. The small size of the Ghost Immobiliser means it can be discreetly placed anywhere and communicates directly with the car’s ECU to immobilise the vehicle. This means a thief cannot hear the usual clicking of a traditional immobiliser and so cannot bypass it in the usual way.
In addition, although a thief can use Radio Frequency Scanners to detect traditional immobiliser signals or circuit cuts, the Ghost Immobiliser does not transmit any detectable radio signals. This is what makes the Ghost invisible and undetectable.
No Key Fob Required
Unlike with traditional car alarms or immobilisers, which rely on key fobs or remotes, a Ghost Immobiliser does not require any additional hardware to be carried. This eliminates the risk of a key or fob being lost or stolen which can compromise the security of the vehicle. However, if you prefer to use a fob rather than a pin code you can choose to upgrade to the override driver fob instead. When you get into your car, the Ghost Immobiliser automatically recognises the driver fob and allows you to start the car.
Also, whereas a thief will normally try to use key cloning technology – a very common practice where the thief will use a scanner to detect and clone a signal from your car’s key fob or remote even while it’s in your home – this will not work as they are not able to clone your key or hack into the ECU because the Ghost Immobiliser emits no signal. In any case it would be impossible for the thief to start your car because your unique pin code must first be input to enable the engine to start.
Overall, a Ghost Immobiliser provides strong protection against theft through advanced technology, stealthy operation and features designed to thwart common bypass methods. The Ghost really is a step beyond traditional GPS trackers.
