Simple PIN code Change Process

With the increasing rate of vehicle thefts, many owners are looking to improve their security. There are many types of aftermarket security devices available from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. However they do not all are equally effective in protecting your car. While a tracking system may assist in finding your vehicle in the case of theft, it does not prevent the crime from occurring in the first instance.

The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced options on the market, making it nearly impossible for thieves to steal your vehicle.

Utilizing the buttons already in your car, the ghost device creates an unique sequence that must be entered before the car's engine will start. This can be accomplished using the indicator stalk, window or heater buttons. In addition option, there is an app on mobile that acts as an emergency PIN code bypass and allow the driver to operate the car without having to use the button sequence. This is especially useful if you need to hand your car over for valet parking or servicing because the immobiliser is activated, but not disabled.

The ghost immobiliser car is an innovative and unique device that works by using the buttons of your vehicle instead of as a standalone unit. This means it's not just a highly effective protection against theft of your vehicle, but it can also be transferred to any future vehicles you may have, making it more valuable than a traditional steering wheel lock.

Weatherproof tiny device

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is an advanced security device that protects your pride and joy against key cloning, hacking and ECU swapping. It's a weatherproof, tiny device that connects directly to your vehicle's ECU over the CAN data bus to disable the engine. It can be plugged into the vehicle without the need for additional wiring and has been thoroughly tested to make sure it works with all vehicles. It is also immune to jamming devices which are a typical technique used by thieves to bypass immobilisers.

The advantage of using CAN data is that it runs silently compared to traditional systems. It is not able to be detected by sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing technology, nor can it be detected by traditional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost does not use LED indicators, but instead uses buttons in your vehicle, like the steering wheel, centre console or doors, to create unique sequences for disarming. This sequence can be extended by up to 20 presses for extra security. The iPhone app allows only one, authenticated connection using the pairing code unique to the Ghost Immobiliser Problems and the communication between the two is secured.

The ghost immobiliser birmingham stops car thieves from adding an ignition key replacement or replacing the ECU in order to bypass the immobiliser. It will only allow the engine to run if the correct PIN code is entered. It can also be put into valet/service mode for a temporary operation (with defined parameters like a 30mph speed limit) to allow you to transfer your vehicle to a valet service or for maintenance without having to enter a PIN code.

Tested for each vehicle

The Autowatch Ghost is the world's first aftermarket immobiliser on the CAN bus that is able to be connected to your vehicle's existing wiring and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device detects signals to stop your car from starting up normally until you enter a custom code. The system can be turned off or on via your smartphone's app, without the need for extra wires.

The standard factory immobilisers work with 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 cannot recognize it. This enables the vehicle to be started and stolen. A South African company that is at the forefront of vehicle safety systems technology developed the Ghost immobiliser. It safeguards your vehicle from hacking, key cloning and even key theft. The only way that a burglar could steal your car is physically towing it away and even then, they would not be capable of driving it.

Ghost makes use of the buttons on your vehicle, including the indicator stalk as well as the steering wheel and door panels to create an individual, changeable PIN code sequence that needs to be entered before you can use your car. It does this without additional hardware, like keys fobs. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also undetectable by diagnostic equipment and does transmit radio frequency signals, so thieves cannot make use of sophisticated RF scanners or code-grabbing techniques to determine if an installation has been made.

Contrary to physical anti-theft devices such as clamps or wheel locks, Ghost is concealed within the vehicle, so it cannot be taken away or disabled by thieves. It's even more difficult to get rid of from a car alarm which requires disarming with an action sequence. This makes it a fantastic alternative to a GPS tracking device that can be used to track your vehicle after it's been taken.

Emergency PIN code override

You do not have to look far on social media for stories or videos of cars that were stolen using the most advanced technology tools. This includes key-cloning devices as well as hacking tools that allow thieves to start the vehicle without your original keys.

The Ghost immobiliser has been designed to combat this and provide you with an extra layer of security in order to protect your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It works by creating a unique pin code push sequence using the buttons you have on the steering wheel, door panel and the centre console. This unique PIN is entered in conjunction with your original key fob in order to prevent the engine from starting. The unique override pin is on the black card you will receive after installation. It's easy to remember since there aren't any LEDs.

The device is hidden in the vehicle's wires, and does not emit radio signals, therefore it isn't able to be identified by modern criminals with diagnostic software that can recognise what is ghost immobiliser type of security system you have installed. This makes it a fantastic alternative to the tracking device.

Unlike other security systems, which rely on a relay in the engine bays, these immobilisers CANBUS communicate through CAN databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the vehicle. This allows them to disable the vehicle completely by sending the use of a digital block of commands that is sent to both the ECU and the engine.

It is also possible to connect an analog immobiliser, alarm or tracker to these systems, however this must be specified before installing the device. They are also compatible with service/valet modes and a great alternative to a tracking device when you take your car into the dealer to address an electrical issue.
