Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
The well-known Ghost Immobiliser provides your vehicle with advanced protection against key-cloning, hacking and theft. This TASSA certified system is inaccessible to thieves and stops them from starting your car.
This silent device uses buttons on your vehicle's steering wheel, centre console and door panels to permit you to create a unique, PIN code that you can change up to 20 characters which must be entered before the car is able to start.
Easy to install
It is more essential than ever that you protect your vehicle. With car crime increasing and cloning devices readily available, it is essential to protect your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a secure and discreet aftermarket solution that protects against key-cloning and vehicle theft. The device is completely inaccessible to thieves and operates through buttons on the steering wheel or the door panels. This enables customers to create a unique disarming sequence like a credit card that must be entered before a car is able to be started or driven away. This makes the system virtually impossible to spot and is not affected by jamming or spoofing devices that are used in other systems on the market.
Installation of the Ghost unit requires a highly-skilled installer. The unit is carefully integrated into your vehicle's CAN bus network, ensuring that it communicates directly with the ECU. This allows the Ghost to be installed without having to alter factory settings and ensures that it cannot be bypassed by a thief using signal boosters or other methods.
After the Ghost is installed the new and improved disarm sequence is required to be inputted in order to start your vehicle. This can be accomplished by pressing the service button in your vehicle five times within 2 seconds, while ensuring that it is not being pressed for an extended period of time. The system will then flash twice to indicate that Transport Mode has been activated. This feature is ideal for classic, sports and luxury vehicles that require their security system to be temporarily disabled while transport or servicing.
Once sources tell me is activated, your immobiliser will be disabled and you cannot restart it by entering the PIN code. This feature is ideal for those who would like to store their vehicles during the winter months to protect theft, or to avoid having to pay higher insurance costs.
No LED indicators or key-fobs to reveal its location
The Ghost immobiliser is a discreet device that protects your car from car thieves by using buttons on your dashboard or steering wheel to enter an unobtrusive pin code prior the start of the engine. It protects against signal relay attacks, ECU swapping and key cloning. It can also be linked to a smartphone app to arm/disarm remotely. It is easy to install, and can be put in a variety of vehicles. It is also very stealthy and can be concealed in difficult-to-access places, such as behind the dashboard or within the trim of the steering wheel.
This is a fantastic option for vehicles with high performance since it will disable your vehicle's ignition if wrong pin code has been entered. This will stop thieves from driving away with your joy and pride. The device will notify a smartphone if the car is left unattended in public. This gives you peace of mind when you're away from your car.
Like other immobilisers Ghost does not require additional fobs or LEDs and can be concealed easily in an unaccessible area in your vehicle. It is highly resistant to detection because it communicates directly with the CAN data network of your vehicle. It doesn't 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's also not possible to interfere with by cutting wires or removing the unit. It's also inaccessible to organised gangs of thieves who utilize diagnostics-reading devices to detect security systems. It's also not affected by auto diagnostics equipment that is professional that checks the CAN data system for the presence of an alarm device.
No circuit cuts
Without any LED indicators or key fobs to reveal its location, the ghost device is hidden in your car, beneath the steering wheel or dashboard and uses buttons in your car to generate an unique PIN code sequence which must be entered before the engine can begin. The criminal cannot leave the vehicle even when they have your keys because they do not know the correct code. The device does not transmit radio signals, therefore organised gangs of thieves using tools for reading diagnostics will be unable detect it.
This advanced 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. This means that the only way the thieves can take your joy and pride is to tow it away.
The system is completely silent since it doesn't use factory keys or dashboard buttons. It communicates with the ECU by using the CAN data circuit, which is completely silent and does not provide any indication that it's been installed. This means that a burglar cannot replace the ECU or install new key fobs to get your car running.
If you've forgotten your PIN code our engineers have provided a reset emergency for the device that lets you enter "service mode". This allows the technician or dealer to temporarily start and drive your car enabling them to carry out maintenance work, MOTs, or valet parking without entering the PIN code a second time. After the technician has completed their work or you have collected your vehicle, simply enter the PIN code and the device will go out of service mode depending on the speed and time.
No radio signals
The Ghost immobiliser, unlike many other car security systems does not rely on an alarm system or keyfobs to prevent vehicles from beginning. Instead it communicates with the vehicle's ECU and the CAN data circuit to stop the engine from starting. This makes it a discreet solution that is not affected by key cloning techniques or RF scanning techniques used by thieves to bypass other security devices. It can be combined with tracking devices to increase the security of your vehicle. You will also be alerted if there is a chance to alter or steal.
The Autowatch Ghost is a TASSA-certified device that is approved by insurance and provides superior security against key hacking, copying, and even theft. It is controlled through an app for mobile devices and is secured for security. It also has a secure emergency PIN code override. It's a reliable cost-effective, discrete and discreet method to shield your car from theft.
However, the Ghost is not without issues. A common issue is that users have difficulty to find the correct disarm sequence. This is due to the fact that the device requires input from buttons already located in your vehicle, like those on the steering wheel or center console. It can be difficult for users to remember or make a mistake especially when the device is being first used. It is recommended to study the manual that comes with the device to understand this, and to practice the disarming process before driving the vehicle.
Another issue is that certain vehicles have issues with the CAN data connection, which can impact the functioning of the Ghost. This could be caused by faulty sensors or a damaged OBD port. It is recommended to test the system again before using it, in the event that the CAN connection is faulty.
Change PIN code easily
The Ghost is a fantastic device and has taken the market by storm but the process of changing the pin code is a bit hazy. The device is programmed by the installer when it's installed but sometimes customers might want to change this for different reasons such as: they would 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 the pin number they have currently. It's easy to change your pin number. Follow the steps below to learn how.
Be aware that you will have to turn off the ignition but do not start your car! The process only takes just a few seconds to complete. The vehicle will then resume normal operation.
