Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
The well-known Ghost Immobiliser provides your vehicle with advanced protection against key-cloning, hacking and theft. This TASSA confirmed system is undetectable to thieves and stops them from starting your vehicle.
This device is silent and uses buttons that are located on the steering wheel, center console, and on the door panels of your vehicle. This allows you to create an individual PIN code of that can be up to 20 characters that needs to be entered prior to the car starts.
Easy to install
With car theft on the rise and cloning equipment readily available it is more crucial than ever to secure your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser provides a secure, efficient and affordable solution for protecting against key-cloning and car theft. The device is completely inaccessible to thieves, and operates through buttons on the steering wheel or the door panels. This allows customers to create a unique disarm sequence similar to a credit card which must be completed before the vehicle can begin or leave. This makes it nearly impossible to identify, and is not affected by jamming devices or spoofing devices as with other systems.
Installation of the Ghost unit requires a highly skilled installer. The unit is carefully integrated into your vehicle's CAN bus network, ensuring it communicates directly to the ECU. ghost ii immobiliser can be installed without affecting factory settings, and it is virtually impossible for thieves to evade the system by using signal boosters.
After the Ghost is fitted with a new and improved sequence to disarm is required to be inputted in order to turn on your car. Press the service button five times in a matter of 2 seconds, but make sure you don't press it for too long. The system will flash twice to indicate that Transport Mode has been activated. This feature is ideal for classic, sports or prestige vehicles that need to have their security system temporarily disabled while transporting or servicing.
Once Transport Mode is activated, the immobiliser is turned off and cannot be reactivated by entering your PIN again. This feature is ideal for those who want to store their vehicle during the winter months, thus preventing it from being stolen by thieves or having to deal with monthly insurance premium increases.
There aren't any keyfobs, LEDs or other indicators to assist you in finding it.
The Ghost immobiliser guards your vehicle from thieves by using buttons located on the dashboard or on the steering wheel. You can enter a pin code without being noticed before you start the engine. It can be linked with a phone application to arm/disarm remotely. It also prevents signal relay, ECU swapping, and key copying. It's simple to install, and is able to be fitted in a wide range of vehicles. It's also extremely discreet and can be hidden in difficult-to-access places, such as behind the dashboard, or inside the trim of the steering wheel.
It's an excellent option for high-performance cars 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 areas, giving you peace of brain when you're away from your vehicle.
The Ghost is unique to other immobilisers as it doesn't require any additional fobs or LED indicators. It can also be hidden in an area that is difficult to reach your vehicle. It works by directly communicating with the vehicle's CAN data network, making it highly resistant to detection. It doesn't emit radio signals so it is undetectable by signal jammers or RF scanners.
It's made to be tamperproof and weatherproof, and can withstand extreme temperatures. It is also difficult to be tampered with by cutting the wires, or by removing it. It is also undetectable by organized gangs of thieves who utilize diagnostics-reading equipment to detect security systems. It is not affected by diagnostic equipment that analyzes the CAN data for the presence or absence of security systems.
No circuit cuts
Without LEDs or key fobs to give away its location, the device is hidden within your car, under the steering wheel or dashboard and makes use of buttons in your car to generate a unique PIN code sequence which must be entered before the engine can begin. This means that even if the thief does have your keys they can't drive the car away since they do not be able to identify the correct PIN sequence. The device doesn't transmit radio signals, therefore organized gangs of thieves who use diagnostics reading tools will be not able to detect it.
This innovative immobiliser is also TASSA approved and can help reduce your insurance premiums, especially for modified vehicles that have been modified by their owners. It also prevents key theft and ECU switching, meaning that the only possible method for a criminal to steal your pride and joy is to pull it.
Since the system doesn't make use of the factory key fobs or dashboard buttons it is a completely silent device and communicates with your ECU via the CAN data circuit that operates completely silently and gives no indication that it's fitted. This means that thieves can't replace the ECU or install new key fobs in order to get your car to start.
If you have forgotten your PIN code our engineers have provided you with a reset emergency for the device that lets you enter "service mode". This will allow an expert or dealer to temporarily start and drive your vehicle which allows them to carry out maintenance work, MOTs 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 dependent on speed and duration.
No radio signals
The Ghost immobiliser, in contrast to other security systems for cars does not rely on alarm systems or keyfobs to prevent vehicles from getting started. Instead it communicates with vehicle's ECU and CAN data circuits to prevent the engine from starting. This makes it a discreet solution that isn't affected by key cloning or RF scanning techniques employed by thieves to circumvent other security devices. It can also be used with tracking systems to enhance the overall safety of your vehicle. It can also be alerted to any attempts at tampering or theft.
The Autowatch Ghost, a TASSA certified device, is insurance approved and provides superior security against key hacking and the cloning. It is controlled through a mobile app and is encrypted to protect. It also has a safe emergency PIN override. It's a discrete efficient and cost-effective way to safeguard your vehicle from theft.
However, the Ghost has its share of issues. One of the most frequent issues is that users struggle to find the correct disarm sequence. The device requires input via buttons already in your vehicle such as buttons on the steering column or centre console. This isn't easy for drivers to remember, or they could get it wrong the first time around. It is advisable to read the instruction manual that comes with the device to understand this and practice the disarming process before driving the vehicle.
Another issue is that certain vehicles have issues with the CAN data connection, which could affect the functioning of the Ghost. This can be caused either due to malfunctioning sensors or an abrasive OBD connector. It is recommended to have the system tested before attempting to use it in the event of any issues with the CAN connection.
Easy to change PIN code
The ghost is a great device and has taken the market by storm however the pin code changing process is a bit hazy. The device is pre-programmed by the installer once it's fitted however, there are times when customers may want to change this for different reasons such as: they would prefer to use a different button to deactivate the device and they don't want the installer to know, or they don't want to use their current pin code. The good news is the change over to a new pin number is very simple. Follow the simple instructions below to learn how.
Please note: You must turn on the vehicles ignition but DO NOT start the engine! The process takes only about a minute to be completed. The vehicle will then resume normal operation.
