Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
The well-known Ghost Immobiliser provides your vehicle with the most advanced security against key cloning as well as theft, hacking and hacking. This TASSA-certified system is not detected by thieves and stops your vehicle from starting.
This device is silent and uses buttons that are located on the steering wheel, the centre console, and door panels of your vehicle. It 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
It is more important than ever to secure your vehicle. With car thefts on the rise and cloning devices readily available, it's essential to protect your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a discreet and effective aftermarket solution to protect against key-cloning and car theft. The unit is virtually undetectable by thieves and operates via buttons on the steering wheel, door panels or centre console. This allows customers to make an individual disarm sequence like credit cards, which have to be entered before the vehicle is able to start or be driven away. This makes it almost impossible to identify, and is not affected by blocking devices or spoofing devices as with other systems.
The installation of the Ghost unit is a highly-specialized procedure and must only be done by an approved installer. The unit is carefully integrated into the vehicle's network of CAN buses which ensures it can communicate directly to the ECU. The Ghost can be installed without altering the factory settings. It is not possible for thieves to bypass the system using signal boosters.
When the Ghost is fitted the new and improved sequence to disarm is required to be inputted in order to turn on your car. Press the service button 5 times in two seconds, but ensure you don't hold it down for too long. The system will blink twice to signal that Transport Mode has been activated. This feature is perfect for classic, sports and high-end vehicles that require to have their security system temporarily disabled during transportation or maintenance.
Once Transport Mode has been activated the immobiliser will be disabled and cannot be activated by entering your PIN code again. This feature is perfect for those who want to store their cars during the winter to prevent them from being stolen or to avoid paying higher insurance premiums.
There are no key-fobs, LEDs or other indicators to give away its location
The Ghost immobiliser is a subtle device that protects your joy and pride from thieves who steal cars by utilizing buttons on your steering wheel or dashboard to input an unobtrusive pin code prior to starting the engine. It protects against attacks on signal relays, ECU swapping and key cloning and can be linked to a smartphone application to arm or disarm remotely. It's simple to install and can be integrated into a variety of vehicles. It's also extremely discreet and can be concealed in a difficult-to-find location, such as behind the dashboard or inside the trim of the steering wheel.
This is a great option for high-performance vehicles because it can shut off your vehicle's ignition if the incorrect pin code is entered. This prevents thieves from stealing your pride and joy. The device will even send an alert to your phone if you've left the car unattended in public areas, providing you with peace of mind when you're away from your vehicle.
In contrast to other immobilisers, the Ghost doesn't require any extra fobs or LEDs and can be concealed easily in a difficult-to-find location within your vehicle. It communicates directly with the vehicle's CAN data network, making it highly resistant to detection. It also doesn't emit any radio signals, making it not detected by RF scanners, or signal jammers.
It's designed to be tamper proof and weatherproof, which means it can endure extreme temperatures. It's also not possible to interfere with by cutting wires or dismantling the device. It is also undetectable by organized gangs of thieves who use diagnostics reading devices to detect security systems. It's also not affected by professional auto diagnostics equipment that examines the CAN data system for the presence of a security device.
No circuit cuts
Without LEDs or key fobs that can reveal its location the ghost device is hidden within your car, beneath the dashboard or on the steering wheel and utilizes buttons inside your car to generate an individual PIN code sequence which must be entered before the engine can start. This means that even if a person who stole your keys does have them, they are unable to drive the vehicle away since they do not be able to identify the correct PIN sequence. The device does not transmit radio signals, meaning that organized criminal gangs that use diagnostics reading devices won't be able to recognize the device.
This innovative immobiliser is also TASSA approved and could help lower your insurance costs, particularly for vehicles that have been customized by their owners. It also prevents key theft and ECU switching, meaning that the only possible way for a burglar to take your joy and happiness is to take it away. it.
The system is completely silent since it does not utilize the buttons that are found on the dashboard or in the factory keys. 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 add new key fobs to allow your car running.
If you forget your PIN code, our engineers have provided you with an emergency reset for the device, which allows you to enter 'service mode'. This allows dealers or technicians to temporarily start and drive your vehicle and perform MOTs, maintenance work, or valet parking. Once the technician has finished their task or you have removed your vehicle, simply 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, in contrast to other security systems for cars is not dependent on an alarm system or key fobs to block vehicles from starting. It instead communicates with the vehicle's ECU, CAN data circuit and other circuits to prevent the engine from starting. This makes it a quiet solution that isn't affected by key cloning or RF scanning techniques employed by thieves to circumvent other security devices. It can also be paired with tracking systems to improve 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 the best security against key hacking and the cloning. It is controlled by an app on mobile devices and is secured with encryption to protect. It also has a secure emergency PIN code override. It's a safe, discreet and cost-effective way to shield your car from theft.
However, the Ghost has its share of problems. Users frequently have difficulty completing the correct disarming sequence. The device requires input from buttons already in your vehicle, like those found on the steering column or on the centre console. Some people may find it difficult to remember or get wrong, especially when the device is being used for the first time. 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 have issues with the CAN data connection, which could affect the performance of the Ghost. This can be caused either by faulty sensors, or damaged OBD connector. ghost immobiliser is recommended to test the system again before using it in case there are any issues with the connection to CAN.
Change PIN code easily
The ghost is an excellent device that has taken the market by storm however the pin code changing process can be a bit confusing. The device is pre-programmed via the installer once it's fitted but sometimes customers might need to change this setting due to a variety of reasons, such as they'd like an alternative button to disable the device or they don't want their installer to know, or they don't want to use the pin number they have currently. It's easy to change your pin number. Follow the easy steps below to learn how.
Please note that you will need to turn the ignition on but do not start your car! It will take only a few seconds to complete. The vehicle will then return to normal operation.
