Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

Guard your precious possessions from theft by using the Ghost Immobiliser. It's discreet and does not require additional key fobs.

The device uses buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels doors, door panels, and the centre console) to create a unique pin code sequence that can be altered up to 20 times. This will then allow the start-up of your vehicle.

Simple PIN code change process

With the increasing rate of vehicle theft, many owners are looking to upgrade their security. There are a myriad of security products that are available including tracking systems, immobilisers and alarms. However there are a few that are equally efficient in protecting your vehicle. A tracking device can help you locate your vehicle if it's stolen however, it won't prevent the crime. Immobilisers, on the contrary perform exactly as they say on the tin - they shut down the motor of your car so that it isn't able to be started. The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced options available, making it virtually impossible for thieves to steal your car.

Utilizing the buttons already in your car, the ghost car immobiliser device creates an unique sequence that must be entered before the car's engine will start. This can be done by using the window, heater or indicator stalk buttons. There is also a mobile application that can be used as an emergency PIN override, which allows the driver to operate their car without the need to use the button sequence. This option is particularly useful when you need to give your car away for valet parking or servicing since the immobiliser will remain activated and not disabled.

The Ghost Installations reviews is an unique and innovative device that works by using the buttons of your vehicle instead of as a separate unit. It's not just an effective deterrent for vehicle theft however, it can also be used on any future vehicles you own. This makes it a much better investment than a traditional wheel lock.

Small device that is weatherproof

The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is a sophisticated security system that protects your vehicle from key cloning and hacking. It also prevents ECU swapping. It is a weatherproof tiny device that connects directly to your vehicle's ECU via the CAN data bus to shut down the engine. It can be fitted into the vehicle without additional wiring, and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It also is resistant to jamming devices that are the most common method used by thieves to bypass existing immobilisers.

The advantage of using CAN data is that it operates in a silent manner in comparison to conventional systems. It cannot be detected using sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing techniques as well as detected by traditional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost does not use LED indicators but instead utilizes buttons in your vehicle, such as the steering wheel, centre console, or door panels, to create a an unique sequence of disarming. You can even make this sequence up to 20 presses long for added security. The iPhone app is limited to one connection, and comes with a unique pairing code for the Ghost. All communication between the two devices is protected.

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 if a valid PIN code is entered. It can also be put into Valet/Service mode for temporary operation (with set parameters such as 30mph speed limit) to allow you to give your car to a valet service or to be serviced without needing to enter a PIN.

Tested for each vehicle

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket immobiliser for CAN bus that is able to be connected to the wiring of your vehicle and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device detects signals to stop your car from operating normally until you enter a specific code. The system can be activated or deactivated by using your smartphone's app without the need for additional wires.

The standard factory immobilisers function by using a transponder, which is built into the key. This transmits a signal to the ECU. If the correct code is transmitted the car will begin however if the transponder is swapped with one from a different vehicle, the immobiliser won't recognize it. This allows the vehicle be stolen and started. The Ghost immobiliser was created by a South African company at the top of security systems for vehicles technology. It protects your pride and joy from hacking, key cloning and even key theft. Only by physically towing your car away from thieves could they take it away, and they would still not be able drive it.

Ghost utilizes the buttons of your vehicle, including the indicator stalk along with the steering wheel, indicator stalk and door panels to generate a unique, changeable PIN code sequence that must be entered before you can drive. This is done without the need for additional hardware like key fobs and can be as long as 20 presses long. It is also unrecognizable by diagnostic equipment and does transmit radio frequency signals, so thieves are not able to use sophisticated RF scanners or code-grabbing technologies to detect that the system has been set up.

Ghost is more difficult to remove than car alarms that require disarming with a series of buttons. This makes it an excellent supplement to a GPS tracker that can assist in locating your car after it has been stolen.

Emergency PIN code override

You do not have to go far on social media to find stories or even videos of vehicles that have been stolen by car thieves using the most advanced technology tools available to them. Key-cloning devices, for instance, and hacking tools that allow thieves to start the vehicle without your original keys.

Our Ghost immobiliser is designed to combat this and provide you with an additional layer of security to protect your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It generates a unique pin code by pushing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel, and centre console. This unique PIN is entered along with your original key fob to prevent the engine from getting started. The unique override pin is found on a black card which you will receive following the installation. It is easy to remember because there are no LED indicators.

The device is hidden within the vehicle's wiring and doesn't emit any radio signals, which means it can't be recognized by thieves using diagnostic software that can detect the type of security system you have installed. This makes it a great alternative to a tracking device.

Unlike most other security systems that have a relay inside the engine bay these CANBUS Immobilisers communicate with the vehicle's ECU and BCM via CAN data bus (brand dependant). This enables them to shut down the vehicle completely with an electronic block of commands for both the ECU and the engine.

It is also possible to connect a separate analog immobiliser, alarm, or tracker to these systems, however this must be specified prior to installing the device. They are also fully service/valet mode-compatible and are a great alternative to a tracker if you are you have your car checked for repair at the dealer.

Service/Valet mode

In recent years there has been a rise in the number of vehicles being stolen with the owners' keys. It is more easy than ever to steal your pride & joy due to the availability of key cloning devices and door lock picks. We have created the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It blocks your car from being driven, even if your keys have been copied.

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

The device is hidden inside your car using existing buttons on the steering wheel, centre console and door panels. Before you can begin your car, you must enter a unique, changeable PIN code that can be as long as 20 numbers.

This is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser to be designed to stop your car from being started or driven away without a PIN code being entered prior to. If you are driving away with the device armed the indicator will flash on your dashboard that will flash continuously for about 300m. Entering your PIN code will disable the anti-hijack. Your car will continue to run as normal. If you don't enter your PIN code at this time the indication will continue to flash and will require a new PIN code for every attempt to start your car.
