Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser is a renowned product that protects your vehicle against key-cloning hacking and theft. This TASSA verified system remains undetectable to thieves and stops them from starting your car.
This silent device makes use of buttons that are located on the steering wheel, center console, and on the door panels of your vehicle to allow you to create a unique PIN code up to 20 characters long that you must enter before the car can start.
Easy to install
With car crime increasing and cloning tools readily available, it is more essential than ever to protect your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser provides a discrete, effective and aftermarket solution to protect against key cloning and vehicle theft. The device is almost undetectable to thieves and operates via buttons on the steering wheel or door panels, as well as the central console. This lets customers create a unique disarming sequence similar to credit cards that need to be entered before a vehicle can be started or driven away. This makes it nearly impossible to detect and is not affected by blocking devices or spoofing devices like other systems.
The installation of the Ghost unit is a highly-specialized procedure that must only be done by an approved installer. The unit is carefully incorporated into the CAN bus network of your vehicle, ensuring that it communicates directly with the ECU. This allows the Ghost to be installed without changing the factory settings and guarantees that it can't be hacked by a criminal using signal boosters or other techniques.
After the Ghost has been installed, you will need to enter a new and improved disarming sequence to activate your vehicle. Press the service button five times in a matter of 2 seconds, but ensure that you don't hold it for too long. The system will flash twice to show that Transport Mode is active. This feature is ideal for classic, sports or prestige vehicles that require their security system to be temporarily disabled while transport or servicing.
Once Transport Mode has been activated, the immobiliser is turned off and cannot be activated by entering your PIN again. This feature is ideal for those who want to store their cars during the winter months to protect theft or to avoid paying higher insurance premiums.
There are no keyfobs, LEDs, or other indicators to help you locate it.
The Ghost immobiliser shields your vehicle from theft by pressing buttons on the dashboard or steering wheel. You can enter a pin code without being noticed prior to starting the engine. It prevents attacks using signal relays, ECU swapping and key cloning. It also connects to a smartphone application to arm or disarm remotely. It's simple to install and can be fitted to a variety of vehicles. It is also very stealthy and can be hidden in difficult-to-access places, such as behind the dashboard, or inside the trim on the steering wheel.
It's a great choice for high-performance vehicles because it will disable the ignition of the vehicle when the wrong pin code is entered, which will stop thieves from stealing your pride and joy. The device can also send an alert to your phone if you've left the car unattended in public, providing you with peace of mind when you're away from your car.
The Ghost is unique to other immobilisers because it doesn't require additional fobs or LED indicators. It can also be easily hidden in a hard-to-find area of your vehicle. It works by directly communicating with the vehicle's CAN data network, which makes it extremely resistant to detection. It doesn't emit radio signals, so it's not detected by RF scanners, or signal jammers.
It is designed to be tamper-proof and weatherproof. It can also withstand extreme temperatures. Ghost 2 immobiliser 's also impossible to tamper with by cutting wires or dismantling the device. It's also inaccessible to organized gangs of thieves that use diagnostics reading equipment to detect security systems. It is not affected by professional diagnostic equipment that analyzes CAN data for the presence or absence of a security system.
No circuit cuts
With no LED indications or key fobs that can reveal its location the ghost device is hidden in your car, beneath the dashboard or on the steering wheel and makes use of buttons in your car to create an individual PIN code that has to be entered before the engine can be started. This means that even if a thief does have your keys they are unable to drive the vehicle away as they would not be aware of the correct PIN sequence. The device also does not transmit radio signals, meaning that organized gangs of thieves using diagnostics devices will be unable to recognize the device.
This innovative immobiliser is TASSA approved and could help lower your insurance premiums, especially for vehicles that have been customised by their owners. It also stops key cloning theft and ECU swapping, which means that the only way the thieves can take your joy and pride is to remove it.
The system is completely silent since it doesn't use factory keys or dashboard buttons. It communicates with the ECU using the CAN data circuit which is completely silent and does not give any indication that it was installed. It means that a criminal would not be able to install new key fobs or replace the ECU to get your car to start. This eliminates any other theft methods used in recent years such as key cloning, RF scanning, and code theft.
If you have forgotten your PIN code, our engineers have provided you with an emergency reset device that allows you to enter "service mode". This allows the dealer or technician to temporarily start and drive your car so that they can carry out maintenance work, MOTs, or valet parking without entering the PIN code a second time. When the technician is finished their job or you've taken possession of your vehicle, just enter the PIN code and the device will go out of service mode dependent on speed and duration.
No radio signals
The Ghost immobiliser, in contrast to other car security systems is not dependent on alarm systems or key fobs to block vehicles from getting started. It instead communicates with the vehicle's ECU, the CAN data circuit, and other circuits to block the engine starting. It's a quiet solution, which is not affected by key-cloning techniques or RF scanning that thieves use to avoid security devices. It can be used in conjunction with tracking devices to improve the security of your vehicle. You will also be alerted when attempts are made to alter or steal.
The Autowatch Ghost, a TASSA certified device, is affixed to insurance and offers superior security against key hacking and the cloning. It makes use of a mobile application to control the device. It is encrypted to protect. It also has a safe emergency PIN override. It is a discreet efficient and cost-effective way to protect your vehicle from theft.
Ghost isn't without its problems. Users often have trouble entering the correct sequence of disarming. The device requires input through buttons already present on your vehicle, like those found on the steering column or console. It can be difficult for users to remember or get wrong especially when the device is being first used. It is best to read the manual included with the device, and practice the disarming process prior to driving.
Another issue is that certain vehicles have issues with the CAN data connections, which can affect Ghost's capabilities. This can be caused by faulty sensors, or a damaged OBD connector. It is recommended to test the system again before using it in the event that the CAN connector is faulty.
Easy to change PIN code
The Ghost is a great product that has enjoyed a great reception on the market. However, the process of changing the pin code can be confusing. The device is pre-programmed via the installer when it's installed however there are occasions when people prefer to change their pin code for different reasons such as: they would prefer an alternative button to disable the device, they don't want their installer to know or they just simply don't like their current pin code. The good news is that the switching to a different pin number is extremely simple. Follow these simple steps to learn how.
Please note: You will need to switch on the ignition of your vehicle but do not start the engine! The process takes only about a minute to complete. The vehicle will then resume normal operation.
