Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
The renowned Ghost Immobiliser provides your vehicle with the most advanced security against key cloning hacking, theft and hacking. This TASSA confirmed system is undetectable to thieves and blocks them from starting your car.
This silent device uses buttons on the steering wheel, center console, and the door panels of your vehicle to allow you to create a unique PIN code that can be up to 20 characters that you must enter before the car can start.
Easy to install
It is more essential than ever that you protect your vehicle. With car crimes increasing and cloning tools readily available, it is essential to protect your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser provides a discreet, effective and aftermarket solution to guard against key-cloning and vehicle theft. The device is completely inaccessible to thieves, and functions through buttons on the steering wheel or the door panels. ghost immobiliser lets customers create a unique sequence of disarming similar to credit cards that need to be entered before a car can be started or driven away. This makes it virtually impossible to detect, and is not affected by blocking devices or spoofing devices as with other systems.
The installation of the Ghost unit is a highly specialised process and should only be completed by an authorized installer. The unit is carefully integrated into your vehicle's CAN bus network, ensuring it communicates directly to the ECU. This allows the Ghost to be installed without changing the factory settings and guarantees that it is not hacked by a thief using signal boosters or other techniques.
After the Ghost has been installed after installation, you must use a different and more efficient disarming sequence in order to activate your vehicle. This can be accomplished by pressing the service button in your vehicle 5 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 & high-end vehicles that require to have their security system temporarily disabled during transportation or servicing.
After Transport Mode has been activated, the immobiliser will be disabled and cannot be activated by entering your PIN again. This feature is great for those who wish to store their vehicle over the winter months, and avoid being stolen by thieves or being liable for monthly insurance premiums that increase.
There aren't any keyfobs, LEDs or other indicators to help you find it.
The Ghost immobiliser guards your vehicle from theft by using buttons located on the dashboard or steering wheel. You can enter a pin number without being noticed prior to starting the engine. It can be linked to an app on your phone to arm and disarm remotely. It also prevents signal relay, ECU swapping, and key cloning. It's simple to install and can be integrated into a wide range of vehicles. It is also very stealthy and can be hidden in difficult-to-access places, such as behind the dashboard, or in the steering-wheel trim.
This is a fantastic option for vehicles that are high-performance because it can shut off your vehicle's ignition if wrong pin code has been entered. This stops thieves from stealing your pride and joy. The device can also send an alert to your phone in the event that you've left your car without a key in public areas, giving you peace of brain while you're away from your car.
The Ghost is different from other immobilisers in that it doesn't require any additional fobs or LED indicators. It can also be easily hidden in a difficult-to-reach area of your vehicle. It works by directly communicating with the vehicle's CAN data network, which makes it extremely resistant to detection. It also doesn't emit radio signals, making it not detected by RF scanners, or signal jammers.
ghost immobiliser is designed to be tamper-proof and weatherproof. It can also be able to withstand extreme temperatures. It's also impossible to alter by cutting wires or removing it. It's also unnoticeable by organized gangs of thieves that use diagnostics reading equipment to detect security systems. It is not affected by diagnostic equipment that checks the CAN data to determine whether there is or absence of a security system.
No circuit cuts
The device is not have any indicators with LEDs or key fobs to indicate its location. It is hidden under the steering wheel, dashboard or dashboard of your car and uses buttons to create a unique PIN sequence that needs to be entered to start the engine. The criminal cannot leave the vehicle even when they have your keys because they do not know the correct code. The device cannot transmit radio signals, so organised gangs of thieves using tools for reading diagnostics will be in a position to not be able to recognize it.
This innovative immobiliser is TASSA approved and can reduce the cost of insurance, particularly for modified vehicles that have been customized by their owners. It also prevents key theft and ECU switching, which means that the only method for a criminal to take your pride and happiness is to tow it away.
Since the system doesn't make use of the factory key fobs or dashboard buttons, it is a completely silent device, it communicates with your ECU via the CAN data circuit, which is completely silent and doesn't even indicate that it is fitted. It means that a criminal could not install new key fobs or even replace the ECU to get your car to start and therefore negates any other theft methods used in recent years like key cloning, scans using radio frequency, and code theft.
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 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 once more. Once the technician has finished their work or you have taken possession of your vehicle, just enter the PIN code and the device will go out of service mode based on speed and time.
No radio signals
The Ghost immobiliser, unlike other car security systems, does not rely on alarm systems or key fobs to block vehicles from beginning. Instead, it communicates with the vehicle's ECU and CAN data circuits to prevent the engine from starting. It's a quiet solution that isn't affected by key-cloning techniques or RF scanning used by thieves to get around security devices. It can also be integrated with tracking systems to enhance the overall safety of your vehicle. It can also alert you to any attempted tampering or theft.
The Autowatch Ghost, a TASSA certified device, is affixed to insurance, and offers an excellent level of security against key hacking and cloning. It makes use of a mobile application to control the device. It is encrypted to ensure security. It also comes with an emergency PIN code override. It's a quiet efficient and cost-effective way to safeguard your vehicle from theft.
However the Ghost has its share of issues. A common issue is that users struggle to get into the right disarm sequence. The device requires input from buttons already in your vehicle, like the ones on the steering column or centre console. Some people may find it difficult to remember or even miss, especially when the device is being first used. It is best to read the instruction manual that comes with the device, and practice the disarming procedure prior to driving.
Another issue is that some vehicles are experiencing issues with the CAN data connection, which can affect the performance of the Ghost. This could be caused by defective sensors or a damaged OBD port. It is best to test the system again before using it, in case the CAN connection is faulty.
Change your PIN code quickly
The ghost is a great device and has taken the market by storm but the pin code changing process can be a little confusing. The device is pre-programmed by the installer when it's fitted but sometimes customers might need to change this setting for a variety of reasons like: they would prefer a different button to disarm the device and they don't want the installer to know or they just simply don't like the pin number they have currently. The good news is that the switching to a different pin number is very simple. Follow the simple steps below to learn how.
Please note: You will need to turn on the ignition in your vehicle but do not start the engine! This process takes only just a few minutes. The vehicle will then return to normal operation.
