Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

Guard your precious possessions against theft with the ghost immobiliser fitting Immobiliser. This system is discrete and does not require additional key fobs to operate.

The device uses buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels, door panels and centre console) to generate a unique pin code sequence that can be modified up to 20 times. This will then authorize the startup of your vehicle.

Simple change of PIN code

Many owners are upgrading their security because of the rising number of vehicle thefts. There are many kinds of security products that are available for sale, from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. However, not all of them are equally effective in protecting your car. While a tracking system can assist you in locating your vehicle in the event of theft, it will not prevent the crime from occurring in the first place. Immobilisers, on the contrary, do exactly what they say on the label - they shut off your car's engine so that it isn't able to be started. The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced options on the market, making it nearly impossible for thieves to steal your vehicle.

The ghost device uses 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 done via the indicator stalk windows or heater buttons. In addition, there is also an app for mobile devices that can act as an emergency PIN code override and allows the driver to operate the car without having to use the button sequence. This is especially useful when you need to surrender your car for valet parking or maintenance because the immobiliser will remain activated, but not disabled.

The Ghost is an unique and innovative device that works by using your vehicle's buttons rather than as a separate unit. This means that it's not just a powerful protection against theft of your vehicle, but it can also be transferred to any future vehicles you have, making it more investment-wise than a traditional steering wheel lock.

Small, weatherproof device

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is a sophisticated security device that protects your vehicle from key cloning, hacking & ECU swapping. It's a small, weatherproof device that communicates with the ECU of your vehicle directly over the CAN bus to stop 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 against jamming devices, which are a common technique used by thieves to circumvent immobilisers.

The advantage of CAN data over conventional systems is that they work silently. It isn't detected by sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing technology as well as recognized by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost doesn't produce LED indications and uses the buttons inside your vehicle, such as the steering wheel or centre console panels to create a unique, changeable disarm sequence. You can create a sequence that is up to 20 presses long to provide additional security. The iPhone app allows only one connection, using a unique pairing code for the Ghost. All communication between the two devices is protected.

The Ghost prevents car thieves adding a new ignition key or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser. It will only allow the engine to start only if the correct pin code is entered. It is able to be operated temporarily in Valet/Service mode (with the appropriate parameters, like a 30mph speed limit) and, therefore, you can offer your vehicle to valet or service without needing to enter the code.

Each vehicle is tested

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that connects to your vehicle's existing wiring and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device is able to intercept signals and prevent your car from starting 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.

The standard factory immobilisers work by using a transponder, which is embedded in the key. This sends a message to the ECU. The car will start if the correct code is transmitted. If, however, the transponder from a different vehicle is used instead, the immobiliser will not recognize it. This allows the vehicle to be started and stolen. The Ghost immobiliser has been developed by a South African company at the top of security systems for vehicles technology. It shields your pride and joy from hacking, key cloning and even key theft. The only way thieves could steal your vehicle is physically towing it away and even then they would not be able to drive it.

Ghost uses buttons on your vehicle, like the indicator stalk, the steering wheel, as well as the door panels, to create an individual PIN code that needs to be entered in order to use your car. This is done without additional hardware, like key fobs. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also unrecognizable to diagnostic equipment and does not transmit radio frequency signals so thieves cannot utilize sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology to detect that a security system has been installed.

Ghost is more difficult to get rid of than car alarms that require disarming by pressing a series of buttons. This makes it a great complement to a GPS tracker which helps locate your car after it has been taken.

Override of emergency PIN code

You don't have to look very far on social media to find stories or videos about cars that were stolen using the latest technology tools. This includes key-cloning devices and hacking devices that allow the vehicle to start without your original key fobs.

Our porsche 911 ghost installer immobiliser (beebe-isaksen.blogbright.net post to a company blog) combats this and provides you with an additional layer of security to stop your vehicle from being stolen when it is targeted by thieves. It creates an individual pin code by pressing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel, and centre console. The unique pin code is entered along with your original key fob to stop the engine from getting started. The unique PIN for override is on the black card you will receive following installation. It's easy to remember as there are no LED indications.

The device is hidden within the wiring of your vehicle and doesn't emit radio signals. Therefore, it cannot be detected by diagnostic software that can determine the security system you have installed. This makes it an excellent alternative to the tracker.

Contrary to most security systems that use an engine relay bay, these CANBUS Immobilisers connect with the vehicle's ECU and BCM via CAN data bus (brand dependant). This allows them to disable the vehicle completely by sending a digital block to the ECU and engine.

It is also possible to connect a separate analog immobiliser, alarm or tracker with these systems, but this has to be specified prior to installing the device. They are also fully service/valet mode compatible and a great alternative to a tracker having your car in for an electrical fault at the dealer.

Service/Valet Mode

In recent years, there has seen an increase in the number of cars 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 steal your prized possessions. To stop this, we have launched the Autowatch Ghost immobiliser that prevents your vehicle from being driven despite the fact that your keys were cloned or your vehicle has been hijacked.

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

The device is hidden within your car using existing buttons on the steering wheel, centre console & door panels. Before you can begin your vehicle, you must enter a unique, changeable PIN code up to 20 numbers.

This is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser to be designed to stop your car from being moved away or even started if a PIN code isn't entered before. 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 deactivate the anti-hijack. Your vehicle will continue to operate just as normal. If you do not enter your PIN at this time, the indicator will continue to flash and will require a new PIN every time you try to start your vehicle.
