Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser

The well-known Ghost Immobiliser provides your vehicle with a high level of protection against key cloning hacking, theft and hacking. This TASSA verified system remains undetectable to thieves and blocks them from starting your car.

This silent device uses buttons on your car’s steering wheel, doors and the centre console to permit you to set a unique PIN code that you can change up to 20 characters that must be entered first before the car can start.

Easy to install

It is more essential than ever that you protect your vehicle. With car thefts on the rise and cloning devices readily available, it is essential to take precautions. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser provides a discrete, effective and aftermarket solution to protect against key cloning and car theft. The device is virtually undetectable to thieves and works through buttons that are already present in the steering wheel or door panels, as well as the central console. This allows customers to create a unique disarming sequence similar to the credit card which must be entered before the vehicle is able to be started or driven away. This makes the system virtually impossible to spot and is unaffected by spoofing or jamming devices as used with other systems on the market.

what is a ghost immobiliser of the Ghost unit is a highly-specialized procedure and should only be completed by an authorized installer. The unit is carefully 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, and it is impossible for a thief to bypass the system using signal boosters.

After the Ghost has been installed, you will need to input a new and improved disarming sequence in order to start your vehicle. This can be done by pressing the service button on your vehicle five times within 2 seconds, while ensuring that it’s not held for a prolonged period of time. The system will flash twice to indicate that Transport Mode is active. This feature is perfect for classic, sports and prestige vehicles that require their security system to be temporarily disabled while transportation or during servicing.

Once Transport Mode is activated your immobiliser will become disabled and you are unable to activate it again by entering the PIN code. This feature is ideal for those who wish to store their vehicle during winter, preventing it from being stolen by thieves, or having to pay monthly insurance premium increases.

There are no key-fobs, LEDs or other indicators to reveal its location

The Ghost immobiliser guards your vehicle from theft by using buttons on the dashboard or on the steering wheel. You can enter a pin code without being noticed before you start the engine. It protects against attacks on signal relays, ECU swapping and key cloning. It can also be linked to a phone application to arm or disarm remotely. It is easy to install and can be put in a wide range of vehicles. It’s also very discreet and can be hidden in places that are difficult to reach, such as behind the dashboard, or inside the trim on the steering wheel.

This is a great option for high-performance vehicles because it can shut off your vehicle’s ignition if the wrong pin code has been entered. This stops thieves from stealing your joy and pride. The device can notify a smartphone if the car is left unattended in public. This provides peace of mind when you are away from your car.

The Ghost is unlike other immobilisers because it doesn’t require additional fobs or LED indicators. It is also able to be concealed in a difficult-to-reach area of your vehicle. It communicates directly with the vehicle’s CAN data network, making it highly resistant to detection. It does not emit radio signals, so it is inaccessible to RF scanners or signal jammers.

It’s designed to be tamper-proof and weatherproof, and is able to stand up to extreme temperatures. It is also unaffected by tampering with by cutting the wires or dismantling the device. It’s also unnoticeable by organized gangs of thieves that use diagnostics reading devices to detect security systems. It’s also not affected by professional auto diagnostics equipment which checks the CAN data system for the presence of security devices.

No circuit cuts

The ghost device doesn’t include any LED indicators or key fobs that would identify its location. It is hidden beneath the steering wheel, dashboard or dashboard of your car and makes use of buttons to create a unique PIN sequence that must be entered to turn on the engine. The thief cannot drive away the vehicle even when they have keys to your car because they do not know the correct code. The device does not transmit radio signals, and therefore organised gangs of thieves using tools for reading diagnostics will be unable detect it.

This cutting edge immobiliser is also TASSA approved and could help lower the cost of insurance, particularly for modified vehicles that have been customized by their owners. It also prevents key cloning theft as well as ECU swapping. This means that the only way for a criminal can steal your pride and joy is to remove it.

As the system does not make use of the factory key fobs or the dashboard buttons, it is an entirely silent device that communicates with your ECU through the CAN data circuit which operates in complete silence and gives no indication that it is fitted. It means that a criminal will not be able to add new key fobs or swap out the ECU to cause your vehicle to start and therefore negates any other methods of theft employed in recent years such as key cloning, scans using radio frequency, and code grabbing.

If you have forgotten your PIN code, our engineers have provided an emergency reset device that lets you enter “service mode”. This will allow the dealer or technician to temporarily start and drive your vehicle so that they can carry out maintenance work, MOTs, or valet parking without needing to enter the PIN code again. When the technician is finished their work or you have removed your vehicle, simply enter the PIN code and the device will go out of service mode dependent on speed and duration.

No radio signals

The Ghost immobiliser, unlike other car security systems is not dependent on alarm systems or key fobs to stop vehicles from starting. It instead communicates with the vehicle’s ECU, the CAN data circuit, and other circuits to prevent the engine starting. It’s a discrete solution that isn’t affected by key-cloning techniques or radio frequency scanning that thieves use to bypass security devices. It can be used in conjunction with tracking devices to improve the security of your vehicle. You will also receive alerts if there is any attempt to alter or steal.

The Autowatch Ghost, a TASSA certified device, is affixed to insurance and provides superior protection against key hacking and copying. It makes use of a mobile application to control the device and is secured to ensure security. It also comes with a secure emergency PIN code override. It is a discreet efficient and cost-effective way to protect your vehicle from theft.

However, the Ghost is not without its difficulties. Users frequently have difficulty completing the correct sequence to disarm. This is due to the fact that the device requires input through buttons already located in your vehicle, for example those on the steering wheel or centre console. It isn’t easy for drivers to remember, or they might make a mistake the first time around. It is recommended to study the manual included with the device to learn this, and to practice the disarming procedure prior to driving the vehicle.

A third issue is that some vehicles have issues with CAN data connections, which can affect Ghost’s performance. This could be caused by malfunctioning sensors or an damaged OBD port. It is best to test the system again before using it in case the CAN connection is faulty.

Easy to change PIN code

The ghost is an excellent device and has taken the market by storm however the process of changing the pin code can be a little confusing. The device is preprogrammed by the installer at the moment of installation, but customers might want to alter it due to a variety of reasons. For example they may want an alternative button that disables the device or not want their installer to be aware. They may also not like the pin code they currently have. The good news is the switch to a new pin number is incredibly easy. Follow these simple steps to learn how.

Please note that you will have to turn off the ignition but do not start your vehicle! This process takes only several minutes. The vehicle will then return to normal operation.
