Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

ghost immobiliser fitting Immobiliser will protect your prized item from theft. This system is discreet & does not require any additional key fobs in order to operate.

The device utilizes buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels, door panels and centre console) to generate a unique pin sequence that can be altered up to 20 times. This then authorizes the start-up of your vehicle.

Simple PIN code Change Process

With the increasing rate of vehicle theft, a lot of owners are looking to improve their security. There are a myriad of aftermarket security devices available, from tracking systems to immobilisers and alarms. However, not all of them are equally effective in protecting your car. A tracking system can assist you in locating your vehicle in the event of it being stolen however, it won't prevent the crime. An immobiliser, on contrary does exactly what it says on the label: it shuts off the engine of your vehicle to prevent it from being started. The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most sophisticated options available, making it almost impossible for thieves to steal your vehicle.

The ghost device makes use of the buttons on your car to create an unique sequence that needs to be entered in order for the engine to begin. This can be accomplished using the indicator stalk, window or heater buttons. There is also a mobile application that can be used as an emergency PIN override, allowing the driver to operate their vehicle without the button sequence. This is a great option for those who want to offer your car to valet parking or for maintenance. The immobiliser remains in operation.

The Ghost is an innovative and unique device that operates with your vehicle's buttons rather than as a standalone device. This means that it is not just a highly effective protection against theft of your vehicle, but it can also be transferred to any future vehicles you own, making it more investment-wise than traditional steering wheel locks.

Weatherproof small device

The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is a sophisticated security system that safeguards your pride & joy from key hacking and cloning. It also blocks ECU swapping. It is a tiny, weatherproof device that communicates with the ECU of your vehicle directly over the CAN bus, causing it to shut down the motor. It can be plugged into the vehicle without any wiring, and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It is also resistant to jamming devices, which is the most common method used by thieves to get around the immobilisers in place.

The benefit of CAN data over traditional systems is that they work silently. It isn't detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technologies and is also undetectable by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost doesn't emit LED indications and uses the buttons inside your vehicle such as steering wheel or centre console panels to create a unique, programmable disarm sequence. You can even create a sequence that is up to 20 presses long for added security. The iPhone app only allows one connection, using an individual pairing code for the Ghost. All communication between the two devices is secured.

The Ghost stops car thieves from adding an ignition key that is not in use or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser. The engine will only run only if a valid PIN has been entered. It is also possible to put it into valet/service mode for a temporary operation (with set parameters such as 30mph speed limit) to allow you to give your car to a valet service to be serviced without needing to enter a pin code.

Every vehicle is tested

The Autowatch Ghost is a world-first aftermarket immobiliser CANbus. It can be connected to the vehicle's wiring and also to the engine control unit (ECU). The device is able to intercept signals and prevent your car from operating normally until you enter a specific code. The system can be turned on and off using your own smartphone app without the need for additional wires.

Standard factory immobilisers on vehicles work by having an electronic transponder in the key that transmits an electronic signal to the ECU. The car will begin to start if the correct code is sent. If, however, the transponder of a different vehicle is used instead, the immobiliser doesn't recognize it. This allows the vehicle be started and stolen. A South African company that is at the forefront of safety systems technology created the Ghost immobiliser. It protects you from hacking or key cloning and even key theft. The only way that a burglar could take your vehicle is physically towing it away and even then, they would not be capable of driving it.

Ghost makes use of buttons in your vehicle, including the indicator stalk, steering wheel, as well as the door panels, to create unique PIN codes that must be entered in order to use your car. This is done without the need for additional hardware, such as keys-fobs, and can be up to 20 presses long. It is also unrecognizable by devices for diagnosis and transmits radio frequency signals, which means thieves cannot make use of sophisticated RF scanners or code-grabbing technologies to identify that the system has been set up.

Ghost is harder to remove than car alarms that require disarming by pressing several buttons. This makes it an excellent alternative to an GPS tracking device which can be used to track your vehicle after it's been stolen.

Emergency PIN code override

You don't have to go far on social media to see stories or even videos of vehicles that have been taken by car thieves employing the latest technology tools available to them. This includes key-cloning devices and hacking devices that allow you to start your car without the original keys.

Our Ghost immobiliser combats this and gives you an additional layer of protection to stop your vehicle from being stolen in the event of being targeted by thieves. It works by creating a unique pin code push sequence from the buttons you have on the steering wheel, door panel and the center console. The unique pin code is entered in conjunction with your original key fob to prevent the engine from getting started. The unique override pin is found on a black plastic card which you will receive following your installation. It is simple to remember since there aren't any LED indicators.

The device is hidden within the vehicle's wiring and doesn't emit radio signals. Therefore, it cannot be detected using diagnostic software that can tell what type of security systems you have installed. This makes it a great alternative to a tracker.

Contrary to other security systems which rely on a relay in the engine bay, these CANBUS immobilisers communicate via CAN databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the vehicle. This enables them to shut down the vehicle completely by sending the use of a digital block of commands that is sent to both the ECU and the engine.

They can also be linked to a separate alarm immobiliser or tracker. This should be decided prior to the installation. They are also compatible with service/valet modes and is a great alternative to a tracker device when you take your car into the dealer to address an electrical problem.

Service/Valet mode

In recent times there has been a increase in vehicles stolen without the owner's keys. It's easier than ever to steal your pride and joy due to the availability of key cloning tools & door lock picks. We have developed the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It prevents your car from being driven, even if your keys have been copied.

It connects directly to your vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN data circuit. It is completely silent since it doesn't use radio frequencies or key fobs. It can't be detected by diagnostics or any other hacking device. It also protects against adding a new key or replacing the ECU to bypass the system as only the correct PIN code will allow the engine to start.

The device is hidden in your car ghost immobiliser and can be reached via the buttons on your steering wheel, centre console, and door panels. A unique and reversible PIN code sequence up to 20 digits has to be entered before you are able to start your vehicle.

This is the very first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser that was designed. It will prevent your vehicle from being driven or even started in the event that you do not enter a PIN code first. If the device is armed and you try to drive away, it will display a warning on your dash, which will flash regularly for around 300m, if you enter your PIN code at this point it will disable the anti-hijack system and your vehicle will continue to operate as normal. If you don't enter your PIN code at this point, the indicator will continue to flash and will require a new PIN code every attempt to start your vehicle.
