Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

Ghost Immobiliser will safeguard your prized item from theft. This system is discrete and doesn't require additional key fobs.

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

Simple PIN code Change Process

With the rising rate of vehicle theft, many owners are looking to improve their security. There are a myriad of aftermarket security devices available from tracking systems to immobilisers and alarms. However they do not all are equally effective in protecting your car. A tracking device can aid in finding your vehicle in the event of it being stolen however it cannot prevent the crime. Immobilisers, in contrast, do exactly what they say on the tin - they shut down the motor of your car to prevent it from being started. The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced options available on the market, making it nearly impossible for thieves to take your vehicle.

The ghost device uses the buttons on your car to create a unique sequence that must be entered in order for the engine to start. This can be done using the window, heater or indicator stalk buttons. In addition it is possible to use a mobile app which can act as an emergency PIN code override, allowing the driver to operate the car without having to use the button sequence. This is a great option for those who want to offer your car to valet parking or maintenance. The immobiliser remains in operation.

The ghost 2 immobiliser cost is a truly unique and innovative device that works in conjunction with the buttons of your car rather than being a standalone unit. It is not only an effective deterrent for vehicle theft, but it can be used to secure any future vehicles you may own. This makes it a more cost-effective option than a traditional wheel lock.

Weatherproof tiny device

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is a sophisticated security system that protects your pride and joy against key cloning, hacking & ECU swapping. It's a weatherproof and small device that connects directly to your vehicle's ECU via the CAN data bus to disable the engine. It can be placed in the vehicle without the need for additional wiring, and has been thoroughly tested to make sure it is compatible with all vehicles. It also is resistant to jamming devices, which are a common technique that car thieves use 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 techniques as well as identified by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost immobiliser fitting doesn't use LED indicators, but instead uses buttons on your vehicle, such as the steering wheel, centre console, or door panels, to create an unique sequence of disarming. You can even create a sequence that is as long as 20 presses to provide additional security. The iPhone app only allows one connection, using a unique pairing code for the Ghost. All communication between the two devices is encrypted.

The Ghost also stops car thieves from using the key to a new car or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser to start the engine. It will only allow the engine to start only if the correct pin code is entered. It can also be put into valet/service mode for a temporary operation (with set parameters such as 30mph speed limit) to allow you to hand your car over to a valet service or to be serviced without needing to enter a pin code.

Tested for each vehicle

The Autowatch Ghost is the world's first aftermarket immobiliser on the CAN bus that can be connected to your vehicle's existing wiring and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device intercepts electronic signals to block your car's system from performing its normal initialization process until you enter an individual passcode. The system can be activated or deactivated by using your smartphone's app without the need for wires.

The factory-installed immobilisers function by using a transponder, which is embedded in the key. This transmits a signal to the ECU. If the correct code is sent the car will begin however, if the transponder is replaced with one from a different vehicle, the immobiliser cannot recognize it. This enables the vehicle to be stolen and started. A South African company that is at the forefront of vehicle safety systems technology developed the Ghost immobiliser. It protects you from hacking or key cloning and even key theft. Only by physically towing your car away can thieves get it, and they would still not be able to drive the vehicle.

Ghost uses the buttons in your vehicle, including the indicator stalk, steering wheel and door panels to create an individual, changeable PIN code sequence that must be entered prior to you are able to use your car. This is done without any extra hardware, such as a keyfob. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also inaccessible to diagnostic equipment and doesn't transmit radio frequency signals, so thieves are unable to use sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing technology to discover that security systems have been installed.

In contrast to the physical devices that prevent theft, such as clamps or wheel locks Ghost is concealed within the vehicle so it can't be removed or disabled by thieves. It is even more difficult to get rid of than a car alarm that requires disarming via an action sequence. This makes it a great complement to a GPS tracking device, which can be used to track your vehicle after it's stolen.

Emergency PIN code override

You don't have to look far on social media to find stories or videos about cars that have been stolen using the latest technology tools. Key-cloning devices, for instance, and hacking tools that allow thieves to start the vehicle without your original keys.

The Ghost immobiliser was designed to combat this, and give you an extra layer of security to keep your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It generates a unique pin code by pressing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel and on the centre console. This unique PIN is entered alongside your original key fob in order to prevent the engine from beginning. The unique override pin can be located on a black card which you will receive following the installation. It is easy to remember since there are no LED indicators.

The device is hidden within the wiring of the vehicle and doesn't emit radio signals. This means it can't be detected by diagnostic software which can identify the type of security system you have installed. This makes it an excellent alternative to a tracker.

Unlike most other security systems, which have a relay in the engine bay these CANBUS Immobilisers communicate with the car's ECU and BCM via the CAN data bus (brand dependent). This allows them to block a vehicle completely, by sending a digital block to the ECU and engine.

It is also possible to connect an analog immobiliser, alarm, or tracker to these systems but this must be specified before installing the device. They are also service/valet mode compatible and a great alternative to a tracker if you are you are taking your car in for repairs to an electrical issue at the dealership.

Service/Valet mode

In recent years, there has been a rise in the number of vehicles being stolen from owners without keys. It's more easy than ever to take your joy and pride with the availability of key cloning devices and door lock picks. We have developed the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It prevents your car from being driven, even if your keys have been cloned.

It connects directly to your cars ECU (Engine Control Unit) through the CAN data circuit. It's completely silent as it doesn't utilize radio frequencies or key fobs. It can't be 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 in your car and is accessed by existing buttons on your steering wheel, centre console and door panels. Before you can begin your car, you need to enter a unique, changeable PIN code up to 20 digits.

This is the first aftermarket immobiliser for CAN bus to be created that will stop your car from being started or driven away without a PIN code being entered before. If you're driving away with the device in motion, an indicator will appear on your dashboard and flash continuously for around 300m. Entering your PIN code will turn off the anti-hijack. Your car will continue to function normally. If you don't enter your PIN code at this time the indication will keep flashing & will require another PIN code for every attempt to start your car.
