Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Installation

Ghost immobilisers are a recent advancement in vehicle security. They are revolutionary because they protect your vehicle from key cloning and hacking.

The system has a unique disarm sequence, requiring the correct PIN code to start your vehicle. This is done via the buttons on your dashboard or steering wheel.

TASSA Approved

The new TASSA-verified Ghost-II CAN from Autowatch is an innovative device designed to combat the latest automobile crime trends like key cloning, hacking, and other forms of theft. This smart system connects directly to the CAN network of your vehicle, and prevents it from being started or driven without the proper code. The system is completely undetectable and doesn't use radio frequencies or a key fob, instead it allows you to create an individual PIN sequence using the buttons on your vehicle, like the ones on the dashboard or steering wheel and can be changed at anytime. The PIN can be as long as up to 20 times long for maximum security. A secure emergency code is also available.

The system communicates with the vehicle's CAN data network to determine when the PIN is entered. This then sends a message to the vehicle which disables the ignition, engine and shuts off vital components like the starter motor and fuel pump. The system features a "valet mode' that lets you deactivate it, preventing valets and staff from driving your car without the correct key.

Unlike conventional immobiliser relays, that can be deactivated using readily available diagnostic tools for professionals, the Ghost device uses the onboard data network to communicate with the ECU and is not able to be tampered with. It's a sealed unit, so it is not possible to monitor the circuits, making it nearly impossible for thieves to hear the tell-tale clicking sound that traditional immobiliser relays emit.

This technology isn't susceptible to jamming tools used by high-tech thieves and is not detected by any other diagnostic tools because it relies on CAN data networks. This means it's an ideal anti-theft tool for any modern car.

We will run through the entire demonstration with you and give you the owner's manual, emergency card and two Autowatch window stickers, and an installation certification.

Insurance Approved

The Ghost is an aftermarket security gadget that shields your vehicle from the kinds of thieves who would be interested in stealing your car. It prevents your engine from starting until a specific sequence of buttons are pressed. This sequence is only known by you, therefore if your car is stolen thieves, they will not be able to start it and are likely to leave the vehicle in peace to avoid being caught. Ghosts can be found in a silent mode that disables the vehicle when it is not being used. It can be turned off by pressing the button.

The system is TASSA (Tracker and Aftermarket security systems association) insurance-approved, which means it will be recognised by some insurance companies as an additional security measure on your vehicle. It can be utilized alongside other Thatcham-approved security measures, like trackers to help protect your vehicle from being stolen. This will give you extra security.

In addition it also communicates with your vehicles ECU via the CAN data circuit which makes it inaccessible to diagnostics tools and completely silent. This means that thieves cannot simply add a new key or swap the ECU to get around the Ghost. The system will only allow your vehicle to start when the correct pin code is entered. This unique PIN code is only known by you and can be changed at any time.

The Ghost is a discreet immobiliser that can be added to the majority of vehicles without the need for wiring or installing aftermarket key fobs. It is directly connected to the vehicle's CAN data network and a PIN code is programmed by pressing the buttons on the dashboard and the steering wheel. This code will stop the vehicle from being started until the correct sequence has been selected first. If the code is guessed there are secure emergency codes that can be reset with your mobile phone. In addition, there is an easy-to-use app available for iOS & Android that eliminates the requirement to enter your pin every occasion, providing even more hassle free security.

The shrewd

In contrast to a GPS tracker which only assists with finding your vehicle after it's been taken away, an immobiliser system stops the vehicle from being stolen in the first place. It does this by preventing the engine from starting unless it is able to receive the correct code through the key fob or a smartphone app downloaded to it. This is the best method to stop wheel jacking as well as other types of theft as the criminal has no choice but to leave the car unattended or risk being caught.

The ghost immobiliser, which is a tiny weatherproof device, fits in the wiring harness of your vehicle. It has a connection to the CAN data network and is hidden away so thieves can't detect it or disable it by simple wire cutting. The system also has an option for service mode that can be activated so that your garage can work on your vehicle, without needing to know the passcode in order for it to start.

Once the device is installed in your vehicle, it can be disarmed and then armed with an app on your smartphone. You can change the PIN number whenever you want to ensure that you're the only person who has access to your car. This is helpful when you are planning to sell your vehicle in the near future in order to increase the cost of reselling.

Another benefit of the Ghost immobiliser is that it's subtle and won't leave any marks on the internal body of your car, making it an ideal accessory to any vehicle. It's easy to fit and operates quietly, and will not disrupt any other systems in your vehicle.

An immobiliser that is discreet will improve the appearance and feel of your car. This can be especially appealing for those who regularly use their cars to transport valuable items, because it can help stop potential thieves from pursuing them. The ghost immobiliser works together with other anti-theft technologies such as trackers to provide unrivalled security for your vehicle.

Low Maintenance

Ghost immobilisers function by connecting directly to the CAN data network. They are almost undetectable, as they don't utilize LED indicators or other key fobs. It doesn't emit radio signals, and it's also silent so thieves can't detect it. It can be hidden in a variety of places (even beneath the floor mats) and is a great choice for those who want to protect their car without sacrificing style.

This device prevents you from starting your car until you have a unique password. This is accomplished by the combination of buttons on your dashboard and the steering wheel in a certain sequence. This will prevent hackers from cloning or hacking into your system, and prevent them from starting your vehicle.

Thieves could also try to increase your signal to gain access to your vehicle, but the Ghost will be able to detect this and will prevent your car from starting until you enter the correct disarming sequence. The Ghost is distinct from other security systems that can be activated using the incorrect code. It will keep preventing your vehicle from starting until you enter the correct passcode.

The Ghost will remain in service mode until you put it back into 'service' which is activated by pressing the same combination of buttons as you did to arm it (this can happen when you visit your dealer to perform maintenance or warranty work). This is a precaution to ensure that it is not taken away by anyone who is not authorized and it is then rearmed and brought back to service mode if needed.

If you decide to change vehicles in your ownership it is possible to transfer the Ghost to the new vehicle if the new vehicle is compatible. The most recent version of Ghost also comes with QR finger print stickers that are connected to the International Security Register, meaning that if your ghost immobiliser install is taken for parts, it can be traced back to you and your vehicle. This could stop thieves from stealing vehicles fitted with Ghost because they know that the vehicle is protected and they could risk being arrested and caught.
