Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

Protect your pride & joy from theft by using the Ghost Immobiliser. This system is discrete and does not require any additional key fobs to operate.

The device makes use of the buttons in your vehicle (steering wheel doors, door panels and centre console) to create a unique changeable pin code sequence up to 20 presses long. This will then authorize the start-up of your vehicle.

Simple PIN code Change Process

Many owners are upgrading their security due to the rise in vehicle theft. There are many different types of security gadgets that are sold aftermarket including tracking systems, alarms and immobilisers. However they do not all are equally effective in protecting your car. A tracking system may help you locate your vehicle if it's stolen, but it will not prevent the crime. An immobiliser, on the other hand, does exactly what it says on the label: it shuts off the engine of your car so that it cannot be started. The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced options available, making it virtually impossible for thieves to steal your vehicle.

The ghost device utilizes the buttons on your car to generate a unique sequence which must be entered in order for the engine to start. This can be done via the indicator stalk, window or heater buttons. In addition, there is also an app for mobile devices that can act as an emergency PIN code bypass and allow the driver to operate the car without using the button sequence. This is a great solution if you want to give your car to valet parking or for servicing. The immobiliser will stay active.

The Ghost is an unique and innovative device that works by using your vehicle's buttons rather than as a separate unit. It is not only an effective deterrent for vehicle theft and vandalism, but it can be used to secure any future vehicles you own. This makes it a much better investment than a traditional wheel lock.

Small, weatherproof device

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is a high-tech security system that protects your vehicle from key cloning, hacking & ECU swapping. It is a small weatherproof device that connects with the ECU of your vehicle directly over the CAN bus to disable the motor. It can be installed in the vehicle without additional wiring and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It is also indestructible to jamming devices, which is a common technique used by car thieves to circumvent existing immobilisers.

The benefit of CAN data over conventional systems is that they operate silently. It can't be detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology and is also undetectable by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost doesn't use LED indicators, but instead uses buttons in your vehicle, such as the steering wheel, centre console, or doors, to create unique sequences for disarming. You can create a sequence that is as long as 20 presses for added security. The iPhone app is limited to one connection, with a unique pairing code for the ghost immobiliser cost. All communication between the two devices is secured.

The Ghost also stops thieves from stealing a new key or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser to start the engine. The engine will only start when a valid PIN code has been entered. It is also possible to put it in valet/service mode to allow for temporary operation (with set parameters such as 30mph speed limit) so that you can give your car to a valet service for servicing without the need to enter a pin code.

Every vehicle is tested

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket immobiliser for CAN bus that connects to the wiring of your vehicle and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device intercepts signals to stop your car from operating normally until you enter a customized code. The system can be turned on and off through your smartphone's application without the need for wires.

Standard factory immobilisers for vehicles work by having a transponder inside the key, which sends an electronic signal to the ECU. The car will begin to start if the correct code is transmitted. However, if a transponder from a different vehicle is used instead, the immobiliser doesn't recognize it. This allows the vehicle be stolen and then started. The Ghost immobiliser was developed by an South African company at the forefront of vehicle security systems technology. It shields you from hacking or key cloning and even key theft. The only way that a burglar could take your car is physically towing it away and even then they wouldn't be able to drive it.

Ghost makes use of buttons on your vehicle, such as the indicator stalk, steering wheel, and the door panels, to create a unique PIN code which must be entered in order to use your vehicle. It does this without extra hardware, such as a keyfob. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also inaccessible to diagnostics equipment and doesn't transmit radio frequency signals so thieves cannot use sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing technology to detect that security systems have been installed.

Contrary to physical anti-theft devices such as wheel locks or clamps, Ghost is hidden within the vehicle, so it cannot be taken away or disabled by thieves and is also harder to remove from a car alarm which requires disarming via the use of a button sequence. This makes it an excellent addition to an GPS tracking device, which can be used to locate your vehicle after it's been stolen.

Override of emergency PIN code

You do not have to go far on social media sites to find stories or even videos of vehicles that have been stolen by car thieves employing the latest technology tools available to them. This includes key-cloning devices and hacking tools that allow them to start the car without your original keys.

The Ghost immobiliser helps combat this issue and offers an additional layer of security to stop your vehicle from being stolen in the event of being targeted by thieves. It creates an individual pin code sequence that is triggered by your existing buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, and centre console. This unique PIN is entered along with your original key fob in order to prevent the engine from starting. The unique override pin can be found on a black card that you receive following the installation. It is easy to remember since there aren't any LED indicators.

The device is hidden within the vehicle's wires and doesn't emit any radio signals, therefore it can't be identified by modern thieves using diagnostic software that can identify the security system you have installed. This makes it a great alternative to a tracking device.

Unlike 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 with a digital block of commands that is sent to both the ECU and the engine.

These systems can also be linked to an analog alarm immobiliser or tracker. This should be specified prior to the installation. They are also fully service/valet mode compatible and a good alternative to a tracker you have your car checked for repair at the dealer.

Service/Valet Mode

In recent times, there has been an increase in vehicles being stolen without the owners keys. With easy access to key cloning equipment and door lock pick sets it is now easier than ever for thieves to take your prized possessions. We've developed the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It blocks your vehicle from being driven even if you keys have been copied.

It directly communicates with your vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN data circuit. It's completely silent since it doesn't utilize radio frequencies or a key fob. This means that it can't be detected by diagnostics or other vehicle hacking devices. It also prevents you from introducing the new ECU or key to circumvent the system, since only the PIN code allows the engine to start.

The device is hidden inside your vehicle and is reached via the buttons on your steering wheel, center console, and door panels. Before you can start your vehicle, you must enter a unique and changeable PIN number that is up to 20 digits.

This is the first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser for the market that has been developed. It can prevent your vehicle from being started or driven in the event that you do not enter a PIN code before entering. If you're driving away with the device in motion it will display an indicator on your dashboard and flash continuously for around 300m. Entering your PIN code will disable the anti-hijack. Your car will continue to function as normal. If you don't enter your PIN in this moment, the indicator will continue to flash and require a new PIN code every time you try to start your car.
