Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser is a renowned product that protects your vehicle against key-cloning hacking and theft. This TASSA verified system remains undetectable to thieves and stops them from starting your car.
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 that can be up to 20 characters that you must enter before the car can start.
Easy to install
With car crime on the rise and cloning equipment readily available it is more important than ever to protect your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a discrete and efficient aftermarket solution to guard against key-cloning and vehicle theft. The unit is virtually invisible to thieves, and functions via buttons on the steering wheel or door panels. This allows users to create a unique disarm sequence like credit cards, which have to be entered before the vehicle can start or be driven away. This makes the system nearly impossible to detect and is not affected by spoofing or jamming devices like those used by other systems available.
Installation of the Ghost unit requires a highly skilled installer. The unit is carefully incorporated into the vehicle's CAN bus network and ensures that it is directly connected to the ECU. The Ghost can be installed without altering factory settings, and it is not possible for thieves to evade the system with signal boosters.
After the Ghost has been installed it is necessary to enter a new and improved disarming sequence in order to activate your vehicle. Press the service button 5 times in two seconds, but make sure that you don't hold it for too long. The system will flash twice to show that Transport Mode is active. This feature is ideal for classic, sports and prestige vehicles that require their security systems to be temporarily disabled while transport or servicing.
After Transport Mode has been activated, the immobiliser is disabled and cannot be activated by entering your PIN again. This feature is ideal for those who want to store their cars during the winter to prevent theft or to avoid paying higher insurance costs.
No key-fobs or LED indications to indicate its location
The Ghost immobiliser protects your car from theft by pressing buttons on the dashboard or on the steering wheel. You can enter a pin code without being noticed before you start the engine. It protects against signal relay attacks, ECU swapping and key cloning. It also connects to a phone app to arm/disarm remotely. It is easy to install, and can be put in a wide variety of vehicles. It's also extremely stealthy and can be concealed in a hard-to-reach place like behind the dashboard or within the trim of the steering wheel.
It's an excellent option for cars with high performance since it can shut off the ignition system of your vehicle if an incorrect pin code is entered, which will stop thieves from driving off with your joy and pride. The device can notify an iPhone if the vehicle is left unattended in public. This will give you peace of mind when you're away from your car.
Like other immobilisers Ghost does not require any additional fobs or LEDs and can be concealed easily in a difficult-to-find area within your vehicle. It is extremely indestructible to detection as it directly communicates with the CAN data network of your vehicle. It doesn't emit radio signals, which makes it not detected by RF scanners, or signal jammers.
It's made to be tamperproof and weatherproof, which means it can endure extreme temperatures. It's also not possible to interfere with by cutting wires or removing the unit. It's also unnoticeable by organised gangs of thieves who employ diagnostics reading devices to detect security systems. It is not affected by diagnostic equipment that examines 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 steering wheel or dashboard and utilizes buttons inside your car to create an unique PIN code sequence which must be entered before the engine can be started. This means that even if the thief does have your keys they cannot drive the vehicle away since they do not know the correct PIN code sequence. The device cannot transmit radio signals, and therefore organised gangs of thieves using diagnostics reading tools are unable detect it.
This innovative immobiliser, which is also TASSA-approved, can aid in reducing your insurance rates. This is particularly applicable to modified vehicles that their owners have customised. It also prevents key cloning theft, as well as ECU swapping, which means that the only way a criminal can steal your joy and pride is to take it away.
The system is completely quiet as it doesn't use buttons that are found on the dashboard or in the 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 a burglar will not be able to install new key fobs or swap out the ECU in order to cause your vehicle to start, which negates any other methods of theft that have been used in recent years, such as key cloning RFID scanning, and code grabbing.
If you ever forget your PIN code, our engineers provide you with an emergency reset for the device that allows you to enter'service mode'. This will allow the dealer or technician to temporarily start and drive your car which allows them to complete maintenance work, MOTs, or valet parking without entering the PIN code once more. Once ghost immobiliser and tracker has finished their work or you have taken possession of your vehicle, just enter the PIN code and the device will be out of service mode depending on the 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. It instead communicates with the vehicle's ECU, CAN data circuit and other circuits to stop the engine from starting. This makes it a quiet solution that isn't affected by key cloning techniques or RF scanning techniques employed by thieves to bypass other security devices. It can be paired with tracking devices to increase the security of your vehicle. You will also be alerted if there is any attempt to tamper or steal.
The Autowatch Ghost is a TASSA-certified device that is approved by insurance and offers superior protection against key hacking, the cloning process, and even theft. It utilizes a mobile app to control the device. It is secured to ensure security. It also has a safe emergency PIN override. It's a reliable, discreet and cost-effective way to safeguard your vehicle from theft.
However the Ghost is not without difficulties. Many users have difficulty entering the correct sequence of disarming. The device requires input via buttons already in your vehicle, such as those found on the steering column or console. This could be difficult for people to remember, or they may get it wrong the first time around. It is recommended to read the instruction manual that comes with the device and practice the disarming process prior to driving.
A second issue is that certain vehicles have issues with the CAN data connections, which could affect Ghost's capabilities. This could be due to defective sensors or a damaged OBD port. It is best to test the system again before using it in the event of any issues with the CAN connection.
