The autowatch ghost immobiliser Ghost CAN immobiliser has been designed and developed to be one of the most effective security systems on the market. The system works by using buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console and pedals to enter the pin code into the vehicle's system. This will disable the engine. This prevents the thief from stealing your car, even when they have keys or fob.

The Ghost is also protected by high-security measures to protect the device from being targeted by thieves or being bypassed. This includes CAN-BUS blocking as well as a physical immobiliser cut. Combining an insurance-approved marking system with cutting a car immobiliser will virtually eliminate the risk of your vehicle being stolen.

You should never attempt to remove a ghost yourself unless you are an expert. You are dealing with a sensitive and complex system that controls your engine. This could cause damage if not handled correctly and is very dangerous. We recommend you call the installer for assistance.

2. No ignition

Modern vehicles are equipped with immobilisers to prevent your vehicle from beginning if the ignition key doesn't match the one programmed into it. This works by sending a transponder number from the key to the immobiliser which then compares it with the ones stored inside it. If the codes are the same, the engine will start. However, a variety of factors can cause this system to fail, such as a lost or stolen key and a damaged or non-coded transponder, and electrical problems such as broken immobiliser antenna wiring, which usually encircles the ignition cylinder. It's also possible that codes are being confused by multiple keys, like having a spare key, or a car with two transponders on the same key.

When the immobiliser does not function properly, it could be impossible to start your car. This gives 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 good investment for any car owner and especially for those who own a luxury vehicle which can be hard to sell after they have been damaged or stolen.
