1. No Stop/Start

The Autowatch Ghost CAN Immobiliser was designed and developed to be one of the most effective security systems available. It operates by using buttons on the center console as well as the steering wheel and pedals to enter a pin code into the vehicle's security system. This will then disable the engine. This prevents the thief from stealing your car, even having fob or keys.

The Ghost also comes with high-security features to ensure that the device is not stolen or hacked by thieves. This includes CAN BUS blocking and an immobiliser that is cut. When combined with an insurance-approved marking system, the odds of your vehicle being stolen are nearly nonexistent.

This system also works in conjunction with your vehicle's factory fitted immobiliser to add an additional layer of security preventing the thief from starting your car, even when they have your key or fob. This helps to protect your resale value as well as keeping you and your family secure.

If your Ghost has stopped functioning, it could be a sign of other issues which are not Ghost related. Try entering valet or service modes on your Ghost to test this. This will disconnect your Ghost from the car and you should be able to begin the car. If you are not able to do this, it could be a problem with your Ghost installation or it might be a problem that causes this.

It is not recommended to try to eliminate ghosts yourself unless you have the knowledge. You are dealing with a delicate and intricate system that controls your engine. It's risky and could cause serious damage if handled it incorrectly. Therefore, it is advised to contact your installer for assistance.

2. No ignition

Modern cars use immobilisers that stop your car from beginning if the ignition key doesn't match the one that is programmed into it. This works by transmitting a transponder code from the key to the immobiliser which then compares it to the ones stored inside it. If the codes match the engine will begin. The system could fail due to many reasons, including a stolen or lost key or a damaged transponder, one that is not coded, or electrical issues, such as a broken immobiliser antenna wire, which surrounds the ignition cylinder. It's also possible that the codes are confused by multiple keys, such as having a spare key or a car with two transponders within the same key.

If the immobiliser doesn't work correctly, it may be impossible to start your vehicle. This creates the impression that the system is inoperable and they may steal the vehicle with the pride and joy of the owner. This is why it's an important investment for anyone who owns a car particularly those with high-end vehicles that can be difficult to sell after being stolen or damaged.
