Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
The renowned Ghost Immobiliser provides your vehicle with advanced protection against key-cloning hacking, theft and hacking. This TASSA-certified system is unnoticeable by thieves and stops your vehicle from being started.
This silent device uses buttons that are located on the steering wheel, the centre console, and on the door panels of your vehicle. This allows you to create a unique PIN code that can be up to 20 characters that must be entered before the car starts.
Easy to install
It is more important than ever to secure your vehicle. With car crime on the rise, and cloning devices easily available, it's vital to protect your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser provides a discrete, effective and aftermarket solution to guard against key-cloning and vehicle theft. The device is virtually undetectable to thieves and operates through buttons on the steering wheel and door panels as well as the centre console. This lets customers create a unique disarming sequence similar to a credit card that must be entered before the vehicle is able to be started or driven away. This makes it nearly impossible to identify, and is not affected by jamming devices or spoofing devices, like other systems.
Installation of the Ghost unit requires a highly-skilled installer. The unit is carefully integrated into the CAN bus network of your vehicle, 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 criminal using signal boosters or other techniques.
After the Ghost is installed, you will need to use a different and more efficient disarming sequence to activate your vehicle. Press the service button five times in 2 seconds, but be sure you don't hold it down 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 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 restart it by entering the PIN code. This feature is great for those who would like to store their vehicle over the winter months, and avoid being stolen by thieves, or having to deal with monthly increases in insurance premiums.
There are no keyfobs, LEDs or other indicators that can help you locate it.
The Ghost immobiliser protects your car from thieves using buttons located on the dashboard or on the steering wheel. You can enter a pin number without being noticed before you start the engine. It can be connected to an application on your phone to arm or disarm remotely. It prevents signal relay, ECU swapping, and key copying. It's easy to install and can be integrated into a wide range of vehicles. It's also incredibly stealthy, and can be hidden in a hard-to-reach place like behind the dashboard or in the trim of the steering wheel.
It's a great choice for high-performance cars because it can disable the ignition of the vehicle when the wrong pin code is entered, preventing thieves from taking away your pride and joy. The device can notify smartphones if the vehicle is left unattended when in public. Ghost 2 immobiliser gives you peace of mind when you're away from your vehicle.
The Ghost is different from 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 communicates directly with the vehicle's CAN data network, making it extremely resistant to detection. It does not emit radio signals, so it is inaccessible to RF scanners or signal jammers.
It's made to be tamperproof and weatherproof, and is able to stand up to extreme temperatures. It is also unaffected by tampering with by cutting wires or dismantling the device. Moreover, it doesn't require any cuts in the circuit to function, and is therefore inaccessible to organised thief gangs that use diagnostics devices to detect fitted security systems. It's also not affected by professional auto diagnostics equipment that checks the CAN data system for the presence of security devices.
No circuit cuts
The ghost device does not have any indicators with LEDs or key fobs that would identify its location. It is hidden beneath the steering wheel, dashboard or dashboard of your car and uses buttons to create a unique PIN sequence that must be entered to start the engine. The thief cannot drive away the vehicle even if they have your keys since they don't know the correct code. The device doesn't transmit radio signals, so organised gangs of thieves using diagnostics reading tools will be in a position to not be able to recognize it.
This innovative immobiliser, which is also TASSA-approved can assist you in reducing the cost of insurance. This is particularly applicable to modified vehicles that owners have customised. It also prevents key theft and ECU switching, meaning that the only method for a criminal to take your joy and happiness is to take it away. it away.
As the system does not utilize the factory key fobs or dashboard buttons, it is an entirely silent device, it communicates with your ECU through the CAN data circuit, which operates in complete silence and gives no indication that it is fitted. This means a thief cannot swap out the ECU or even add new key fobs in order to get your car to start.
Should you ever forget your PIN code our engineers will have provided you with an emergency reset for the device, which permits you to 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 entering the PIN code again. When the technician is done or you have retrieved the vehicle, enter the PIN code to exit the service mode.
No radio signals
Contrary to many other car security systems the Ghost immobiliser does not use an alarm system or key fobs to stop vehicles from starting. It instead communicates with the vehicle's ECU, the CAN data circuit as well as other circuits to prevent the engine starting. This makes it a discrete solution that isn't affected by key cloning or RF scanning techniques employed by thieves to circumvent other security devices. It can be combined with tracking devices to increase the security of your vehicle. You will also receive alerts if there is a chance to steal or alter the security of your vehicle.
The Autowatch Ghost is a TASSA-certified device that is insurance-approved and offers superior security against key hacking, cloning, and even stealing. It uses a mobile application to control the device. It is encrypted to ensure security. It comes with a secure emergency PIN override. It's a reliable cost-effective, discrete and discreet method to shield your car from theft.
However the Ghost is not without issues. Users frequently have difficulty completing the correct disarming sequence. The device requires input via buttons already in your vehicle, like buttons on the steering column or centre console. This could be difficult for people to remember, or they might be wrong the first time around. It is recommended to read the instruction manual that comes with the device and then practice the disarming procedure prior to driving.
Another issue is that certain vehicles have issues with the CAN data connection, which can affect the performance of the Ghost. This can be caused by defective sensors or a damaged OBD port. It is best to test the system again prior to using it in the event of any issues with the connection to CAN.
It is easy to change the PIN code
The Ghost is a fantastic device that has taken the market by storm, however the process of changing the pin code is a bit hazy. The device is pre-programmed via the installer once it's fitted but sometimes customers might want to change this for different reasons such as: they would prefer a different button to disarm the device and they don't want the installer to know or they simply don't like 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 find out how.
Note: You will need to turn on the vehicles ignition but do not start the engine! This process only takes a few moments. The vehicle will then return to normal operation.
