If you have the Ghost 2 immobiliser immobiliser fitted by a reputable fitter such as Car Theft Solutions it can stop thieves from getting away with your vehicle within minutes.

1. No stop/start

The Autowatch Ghost CAN Immobiliser was created and developed to be one of the most efficient security systems available. The system works by using the buttons on the steering wheel, centre console and pedals to input an encrypted pin code within the vehicle's system. This will shut down the engine. This will stop thieves from taking your vehicle, even if he's got the fob or keys.

The Ghost is also equipped with high-security measures to prevent the device from being targeted by thieves or being bypassed. This includes CAN bus blocking and cutting through the immobiliser. Combining an insurance-approved marking system with an immobiliser cut for your car can virtually eliminate the chance of your vehicle being stolen.

This system works with the factory-installed immobiliser of your vehicle, to add a secondary layer of security. It stops the criminal, even if he has your remote or key, from opening your vehicle. This helps to protect your resale value and keeps you and your family safe.

If your Ghost has stopped functioning, it could be an a sign of other issues that aren't related to Ghost. To test this, enter valet or service mode on your Ghost. This will disconnect your Ghost from the vehicle, and you should be able to start your vehicle. If you're not able to accomplish so, there could be a problem in your Ghost installation.

You should not attempt to eliminate a ghost by yourself unless you're an expert. You are dealing with a sensitive and complex system that regulates your engine. This could cause damage if not handled correctly and is very dangerous. We recommend that you contact the installer for assistance.

2. No ignition

Modern vehicles are equipped with immobilisers to stop your vehicle from beginning if the ignition key doesn't match the one that is programmed into it. This is accomplished by sending a transponder number from the key to the immobiliser which then compares it with the codes stored in it. If the codes match, the engine will start. However, a variety of factors can cause this system to fail, including a missing or stolen key and a damaged or non-coded transponder, as well as electrical issues like a broken immobiliser antenna wiring, which usually encircles the ignition cylinder. Multiple keys can also cause confusion with the codes, like the spare key or a car with two transponders on the same key.

When the immobiliser does not perform as it should, it could be impossible to start your vehicle. This can give thieves the impression that the system is faulty and they are able to steal with the joy and pride of the owner. This makes it a worthwhile investment for any car owner particularly those who own prestige vehicles that are difficult to sell after they have been stolen or damaged.

The ghost immobiliser is a subtle device that can be hidden virtually anywhere in your car which makes it unnoticeable to car thieves.

It works without LED indicators and is silent and therefore thieves will not even notice it's there.
