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 vehicle.
This silent device makes use of buttons located on the steering wheel, centre console, and door panels of your vehicle. This allows you to create an individual PIN code of up to 20 characters long that needs to be entered prior to the car will start.
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 discrete, effective and aftermarket solution to guard against key-cloning and car theft. The device is virtually undetectable by thieves and operates through buttons that are already present in the steering wheel and door panels as well as the centre console. ghost autowatch immobiliser allows customers to make an exclusive disarm sequence that is similar to that of a credit card which must be completed before the vehicle can begin or be driven away. This makes the system virtually impossible to spot and is unaffected by jamming or spoofing devices as used with other systems on the market.
The installation of the Ghost unit is a highly specialised procedure and must only be done by an authorized installer. The unit is carefully integrated into the CAN bus network of your vehicle, ensuring that it communicates directly with the ECU. The Ghost can be installed without altering the factory settings, and it is virtually impossible for thieves to evade the system with signal boosters.
After the Ghost has been installed it is necessary to input a new and improved disarming sequence to start your vehicle. This can be accomplished by pressing the service button on your vehicle 5 times within 2 seconds whilst ensuring that it is not being held for a prolonged period of time. The system will flash twice to show that Transport Mode is active. This feature is ideal for classic, sports & luxury vehicles that have to have their security system temporarily disabled during transportation or servicing.
After Transport Mode is activated the immobiliser will be removed and you will not be able to activate it again by entering the PIN code. This feature is perfect for those who would like to store their car during the winter months, thus preventing it from being stolen by thieves or being liable for monthly insurance premiums that increase.
There are no keyfobs or LEDs or other indicators that can assist you in finding it.
The Ghost immobiliser is a discreet device that protects your pride and joy from thieves who steal cars by using buttons on your steering wheel or dashboard to enter an unobtrusive pin code prior to the start of the engine. It can be linked with an application on your phone to arm or disarm remotely. It blocks signal relays, ECU swapping, and key copying. It is easy to install, and can be installed in a wide variety of vehicles. It's also extremely discreet and can be concealed in places that are difficult to reach, such as behind the dashboard, or in the steering-wheel trim.
It's a great choice for high-performance cars since it can shut off the ignition system of your vehicle if an incorrect pin code is entered, preventing thieves from driving off with your joy and pride. The device will notify smartphones if the vehicle is left unattended when in public. This provides peace of mind when you're away from your car.
The Ghost is unlike other immobilisers because it doesn't require any additional fobs or LED indicators. It can also be hidden in a hard-to-find area of your vehicle. It works by communicating directly with the vehicle's CAN data network, making it extremely resistant to detection. It also doesn't emit radio signals, so it's unnoticeable by RF scanners or signal jammers.
It's made to be tamperproof and weatherproof, and can endure extreme temperatures. It's also impossible to be tampered with by cutting the wires, or by removing it. It's also unnoticeable by organized gangs of thieves who employ diagnostics reading devices to detect security systems. It is not affected by professional diagnostic equipment that checks the CAN data for the presence or absence of a security system.
No circuit cuts
Without any LED indicators or key fobs to give away 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 make a unique PIN code sequence that must 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 because they wouldn't know the correct PIN code sequence. The device cannot transmit radio signals, so organised gangs of thieves using diagnostics reading tools are in a position to not be able to recognize it.
This cutting-edge immobiliser, which is also TASSA-approved, can help you reduce your insurance costs. This is especially relevant to vehicles that owners have customised. It also wards off key cloning theft and ECU swapping, which means that the only way the thieves can take your pride and joy is to remove it.
The system is completely silent as it doesn't use buttons on the dashboard or factory keys. It communicates with the ECU via the CAN data circuit which is completely silent and does not give any indication that it was installed. This means that thieves cannot swap out the ECU or even add new key fobs to allow your car running.
If you forget your PIN code our engineers will have provided you with an emergency reset option for the device, which 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 needing to enter the PIN code again. When the technician is done or you have retrieved the vehicle and returned it to the dealer, enter the PIN to exit the service mode.
No radio signals
The Ghost immobiliser, unlike other security systems for cars is not dependent on an alarm system or key fobs to block vehicles from getting started. Instead it communicates with vehicle's ECU and CAN data circuit to prevent the engine from starting. This makes it a quiet solution that isn't affected by key cloning or radio frequency scanning techniques employed by thieves to circumvent other security devices. It can also be integrated with tracking systems to improve the security of your vehicle. It can also be alerted to any attempts at theft or tampering.
The Autowatch Ghost, a TASSA certified device, is insurance approved and provides superior security against key hacking and cloning. It is controlled via an app on mobile devices and is secured with encryption to protect. It also comes with an emergency PIN code bypass. It is an effective cost-effective, private and discreet way to protect your car from theft.
However, the Ghost is not without issues. One common issue is that people struggle to get into the right disarm sequence. This is due to the fact that the device requires input from buttons already in your vehicle, such as those on the steering wheel or on the centre console. Users might find this difficult to remember or even miss particularly when the device is being used for the first time. It is recommended to read the manual included with the device in order to comprehend this, and to practice the disarming procedure prior to driving the vehicle.
Another issue is that certain vehicles have issues with the CAN data connection, which can affect the performance of the Ghost. This could be caused by faulty sensors or a damaged OBD port. It is recommended to test the system again prior to using it to determine if there are any issues with the connection to CAN.
Change your PIN code quickly
The Ghost is a fantastic device that has taken the market by storm but the process of changing pin codes is a bit hazy. The device is programmed by the installer at the time of installation, but customers may want to change it for various reasons. For example, they might prefer a different button that disarms the device, or they don't want their installer to be aware. They may also dislike the pin code they have. The good news is the switching to a different pin number is extremely simple. Follow the easy steps below to find out how.
Please note that you will need to turn off the ignition but DO NOT start your vehicle! The process takes only about a minute to complete. The vehicle will then resume normal operation.
