Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
The well-known Ghost Immobiliser provides your vehicle with the most advanced security against key cloning hacking, theft and hacking. This TASSA verified system remains undetectable to thieves and stops them from starting your vehicle.
This silent device uses buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console, and the door panels of your vehicle. This allows you to create an individual PIN code of that can be up to 20 characters that must be entered before the car can start.
Easy to install
With car theft on the rise and cloning tools readily available, it is more important than ever to secure your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser provides a discreet, effective and aftermarket solution to guard against key-cloning and vehicle theft. The device is almost undetectable to thieves and works through existing buttons in the steering wheel and door panels as well as the centre console. This allows customers to make an exclusive disarm sequence that is similar to credit card numbers that must be entered before the vehicle can start or be driven away. This makes it nearly impossible to identify and is not affected by blocking devices or spoofing devices, like other systems.
The installation of the Ghost unit is a highly skilled procedure and must only be done by an approved installer. The unit is firmly integrated into your vehicle's CAN bus network and is able to communicate directly with the ECU. The Ghost can be installed without altering the factory settings. It is impossible for a thief to evade the system with signal boosters.
Once the Ghost is fitted the new and improved disarm sequence is required to be inputted in order to activate your vehicle. This can be accomplished by pressing the service button in your vehicle 5 times within 2 seconds whilst ensuring that it isn't held for a prolonged period of time. The system will flash twice to indicate that Transport Mode has been activated. This feature is perfect for classic, sports and prestige vehicles that need to have their security system temporarily disabled while transporting or servicing.
When Transport Mode is activated your immobiliser will become disabled and you are unable to restart it by entering the PIN code. This feature is perfect for those who would like to store their vehicles during the winter months to protect theft or to avoid having to pay higher insurance rates.
No LED indicators or key-fobs to give away its location
The Ghost immobiliser is a discrete device that protects your pride and joy from thieves who steal cars by using buttons on your steering wheel or dashboard to enter an unobtrusive pin code prior to the start of the engine. It can be connected to a phone application to arm/disarm remotely. It blocks signal relays, ECU swapping, and key cloning. It's simple to install and can be integrated into a variety of vehicles. It is also very stealthy and can be concealed in hard-to-reach places like behind the dashboard, or inside the steering-wheel trim.
It's a great option for high-performance vehicles because it will disable the ignition of the vehicle when an incorrect pin code is entered, which will stop thieves from taking away your joy and pride. The device will notify a smartphone if the car is left unattended when in public. This will give you peace of mind when you're away from your vehicle.
Unlike other immobilisers, the Ghost doesn't require any extra fobs or LED indications and can be concealed easily in a difficult-to-find location within your vehicle. ghost immobiliser tracker works by directly communicating with the vehicle's CAN data network, making it highly resistant to detection. It also doesn't emit any radio signals, so it's not detected by RF scanners, or signal jammers.
It is designed to be tamper-proof and weatherproof. It also has the ability to be able to withstand extreme temperatures. It's also impossible to tamper with by cutting wires or removing the unit. It is also undetectable by organized gangs of thieves who utilize diagnostics-reading devices to detect security systems. It is not affected by diagnostic equipment that examines the CAN data for the presence or absence of security systems.
No circuit cuts
The ghost device does not have any LED indicators or key fobs to identify its whereabouts. It is hidden under the steering wheel or dashboard of your car and uses buttons to generate an unique PIN sequence that needs to be entered to start the engine. The criminal cannot leave the vehicle even if they have your keys since they do not know the correct code. The device doesn't transmit radio signals, meaning that organized gangs of thieves using diagnostics devices will not be able to detect the device.
This advanced immobiliser is also TASSA approved and could help lower your insurance costs, particularly for vehicles that have been customised by their owners. It also helps prevent key theft and ECU switching, which means that the only possible way for a burglar to take your joy and joy is to pull it.
Because the system does not use the key fobs that are supplied by the factory or the dashboard buttons, it is a completely silent device and communicates with your ECU through the CAN data circuit, which operates completely silently and does not display any indication that it's fitted. This means that a thief would not be able to add new key fobs or swap out the ECU to get your car to start, which negates any other theft methods used in recent years such as key cloning, RFID scanning and code grabbing.
If you have forgotten your PIN code, our engineers have provided a reset emergency for the device that allows you to enter "service mode". This allows a technician or dealer to temporarily start and drive your vehicle and perform MOTs, maintenance work, or valet parking. After the technician has completed their work or you have collected your vehicle, simply enter the PIN code and the device will exit service mode depending on the speed and time.
No radio signals
Contrary to many other car security systems, the Ghost immobiliser does not rely on an alarm system or key fobs to block vehicles from getting started. It communicates instead with the vehicle's ECU, the CAN data circuit, and other circuits to block the engine from starting. This makes it a discrete solution that is not affected by key cloning or radio frequency scanning techniques employed by thieves to circumvent other security devices. It can be paired with tracking devices to improve the safety of your vehicle. You will also be alerted when there is a chance to alter or steal.
The Autowatch Ghost, a TASSA certified device, is affixed to insurance, and offers the best security against key hacking and copying. It uses a mobile application to control the device and is secured to ensure security. It also has a safe emergency PIN override. It is an effective, discreet and cost-effective way to shield your car from theft.
Ghost isn't without issues. Many users have difficulty entering the correct sequence of disarming. The device requires input through buttons already present on your vehicle, like buttons on the steering column or centre console. It isn't easy for drivers to remember, or they might be wrong the first time around. It is recommended to read the manual that comes with the device to understand this, and to practice the process of disarming prior to driving the vehicle.
A third issue is that certain vehicles have issues with the CAN data connections, which can affect Ghost's performance. This could be due to malfunctioning sensors or an damaged OBD port. It is recommended to have the system tested again before using it in the event of any issues with the CAN connection.
It is easy to change the PIN code
The Ghost is an excellent product that has become a huge hit on the market. However the process of changing the pin code can be a bit confusing. The device is programmed by the installer once it's fitted however there are occasions when people need to change this setting for different reasons such as they'd prefer to use a different button to deactivate the device or they don't want their installer to know, or they just simply don't like their current pin number. The good news is that the switching to a different pin number is very simple. Follow these simple steps to find out how.
Please note: You will need to switch on the ignition of your vehicle but do not turn on the engine! This process will take only just a few minutes. The vehicle will then resume normal operation.
