Modern day thieves can take vehicles in less than a minute. They make use of the OBD port of the vehicle to hack into the ECU and then duplicate the key and all with a laptop hidden in the vehicle.

The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser can prevent this by sending pin codes to the buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels & central console). It is completely unnoticeable to anyone inside your vehicle.

No key fobs or LED indicators to reveal its location

If you're looking for a solution to stop keyless entry theft or key cloning then look no further than the ghost immobiliser.
