Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Installation

Ghost immobilisers represent the latest in vehicle security. They are groundbreaking in the way they protect your vehicle from key-cloning, hacking & even wheel jacking.

The system has an exclusive disarm sequence requiring the correct PIN code to begin your vehicle. This is done by pressing the buttons on your steering wheel or dashboard.

TASSA Approved

The brand new TASSA verified Ghost-II CAN immobiliser from Autowatch is a revolutionary device that was designed to fight recent criminality trends, such as key cloning and hacking. This innovative system connects directly to your vehicle's CAN data network, stopping your vehicle from being driven or started without the correct code. The system is completely undetectable and doesn't utilize radio frequencies or a key fob, instead it lets you create an individual PIN sequence using existing buttons in your vehicle such as the ones on the dashboard or steering wheel and can be changed at anytime. The PIN can be up to 20 presses long to ensure maximum security. A secure emergency code is also provided.

The system communicates with the vehicle's CAN data network in order to identify when the PIN has been entered. The system then sends a message to the vehicle, which disables the ignition, engine and shuts off vital components like the starter motor as well as the fuel pump. The system also provides valet mode, which allows you to disable the system and prevent your car from being driven by valets or service centre personnel who do not have the correct key.

The Ghost device is distinct from traditional immobilisers that can be disarmed using professional diagnostic tools. It uses the onboard network to communicate with ECUs, and it cannot be altered. It's a sealed unit so it is inaccessible to monitor the circuits, making it virtually impossible for thieves to detect the distinctive clicking noise that traditional immobiliser relays emit.

This technology is not susceptible to jamming devices used by high-tech thieves, and because it operates on the CAN data network, it's not detectable by other diagnostic tools. This makes it the perfect anti-theft option for any modern vehicle.

Insurance Approved

The Ghost is an aftermarket security device that safeguards your vehicle from the kinds of thieves that are looking to steal your car. It prevents your engine from starting until a specific sequence of buttons are pressed. The only person who can know this sequence is you.

This unique PIN is only available to you and can be changed at any time.

The installing ghost immobiliser is a very subtle immobiliser that is fitted to almost all vehicles without wiring or adding after market key fobs. It is linked directly to the vehicles CAN data network and the personal PIN code of your preference is programmed into it by using the buttons on the steering wheel and dashboard. This code prevents the vehicle from starting unless the correct sequence has been chosen first. If the code is misinterpreted there are emergency codes that can be reset using your mobile phone. There is an application that works on iOS and Android to reduce the requirement to enter pins every time, providing more security.

Distinction

An immobiliser system, unlike a GPS tracker that only helps you locate your vehicle after it's taken away, can stop the vehicle from ever being stolen in the first in the first place. This is done by preventing the engine from starting until it is able to receive the correct code via the key fob or a smartphone app that is downloaded to it. This is a great method to avoid wheel-jacking as well as other forms of theft because the person who is stealing is forced to leave the vehicle alone or risk being caught.

The ghost immobiliser is a weatherproof, tiny device that is tucked away inside the wiring harness of your vehicle. It is concealed and connects to the CAN data network. This means that thieves cannot detect it or disarm it by cutting wires. The system is equipped with a service-mode that can be activated to allow your garage to work on your car without having to know the passcode.

Once you've got the device installed in your vehicle, you'll be able to arm and disarm it using your smartphone via its dedicated app. You can change the PIN code at any time you wish to ensure that you're the only person who has access to your car. This is helpful if you plan to sell your vehicle in the future as it can increase its price of resales.

The Ghost immobiliser also has a great feature: it is discreet and won't leave any marks on the inside body of your vehicle which makes it an ideal addition to any car. It's simple to install, operates quietly and won't interfere with other systems in your vehicle.

This is especially attractive for those who frequently utilize their vehicles to transport valuable goods, as it will help to keep thieves from targeting them. A ghost immobiliser will be used in conjunction with other anti-theft device, such as a tracker to provide unrivalled protection for your vehicle.

Low Maintenance

Ghost immobilisers work by connecting directly to the CAN data network. They are almost unnoticeable, since they do not utilize LED indicators or other key fobs.

This device blocks you from starting your car unless you have a unique password. This is accomplished by pressing a series of buttons located on your dashboard and steering wheels in a particular sequence. This will stop thieves from cloning or hacking into your system and stop them from starting the vehicle.

The Ghost will detect this attempt to increase your signal and stop your vehicle from starting until the proper disarming code is entered. In contrast to other security systems which can be activated through entering the wrong code, the Ghost will not allow your vehicle from starting until you put the correct passcode.

The Ghost will remain in service mode until you turn it back into "service" which is activated by pressing the same button combination as you did to arm it, (this is possible when you go to your dealer to perform maintenance or warranty work). This is a precaution to ensure that it is not taken away by anyone who is not authorized and is rearmed and returned to service mode if needed.

It is also possible to transfer your Ghost to a new vehicle if you move throughout the time of ownership, provided that the new vehicle is compatible. The most recent version of Ghost also comes with QR finger print stickers that connect to the International Security Register, meaning that should your Ghost is ever stolen for parts it can be traced back to you and your vehicle. This will stop thieves from stealing cars fitted with Ghost as they will be aware that the vehicle is protected and they would be risking being caught and convicted.
