Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

Ghost Immobiliser will safeguard your prized item from theft. It's discreet and does not require any additional key fobs to operate.

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

Simple PIN Code Change Process

Many owners are upgrading their security because of the rising number of vehicle thefts. There are a myriad of aftermarket security devices available from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. However, not all of them are equally effective at protecting your vehicle. A tracking device can assist you in locating your vehicle in the event of it being stolen, but it will not prevent the crime. An immobiliser, on contrary is exactly what says on the label: it shuts off the engine of your car to prevent it from being started. The Autowatch ghost immobiliser birmingham is one of the most advanced options available, making it almost impossible for thieves steal your car.

The ghost device utilizes the buttons on your car to create an unique sequence that needs to be entered in order for the engine to start. This can be done by using the window, heater or indicator stalk buttons. In addition to this it is possible to use an app on mobile that acts as an emergency PIN code override and allows the driver to operate the car without the button sequence. This is an excellent option for those who want to offer your car to valet parking or servicing. The immobiliser remains active.

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

Weatherproof small device

The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is a high-tech security system that protects your pride & joy from key hacking and cloning. It also prevents ECU swapping. It is a small weatherproof device that connects with the ECU of your vehicle directly via the CAN bus to stop the motor. It can be plugged into the vehicle without wiring and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It is also immune to jamming devices which are a typical method used by car thieves to circumvent immobilisers.

The advantage of using CAN data is that it operates in a silent manner compared to traditional systems. It's not detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technologies and is also undetectable by traditional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost doesn't use LED indicators but instead utilizes buttons in your vehicle, like the steering wheel, the centre console, or door panels, to create a a unique disarming sequence. This sequence can be extended by 20 presses for additional security. The iPhone app allows only one connection, using the Ghost's unique pairing code. the Ghost. All communication between the two devices is protected.

The Ghost stops car thieves from adding a new ignition key or replacing the ECU in order to bypass the immobiliser. The engine will only run only if a valid PIN is entered. It is also possible to put it into valet/service mode for a temporary operation (with defined parameters like a 30mph speed limit) to allow you to hand your car over to a valet service for servicing without the need to enter a pin code.

Tested for each vehicle

The Autowatch Ghost is a first-of-its-kind aftermarket immobiliser for CANbus. It can be connected to the vehicle's wiring and also to the engine control unit (ECU). The device intercepts signals to prevent your car from starting up normally until you enter a custom code. The system can be activated or deactivated via your smartphone's app, without the need for additional wires.

The standard factory immobilisers function by using a transponder that is embedded in the key. It transmits a message to the ECU. The car will begin to start if the correct code is sent. If, however, the transponder from another vehicle is used instead, the immobiliser won't recognise it. This makes it possible for the vehicle to be stolen and then started. The Ghost immobiliser was developed by an South African company at the top of security systems for vehicles technology. It protects you from key cloning or hacking, and even key theft. The only way that a burglar could take your car is physically towing it away and even then, they wouldn't be allowed to drive it.

Ghost makes use of buttons on your vehicle, such as the indicator stalk, the steering wheel, as well as the door panels, to create unique PIN codes which must be entered in order to use your vehicle. It does this without additional hardware, like key fobs. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also unrecognizable by devices for diagnosis and transmits radio frequency signals, which means thieves cannot make use of sophisticated RF scanners or code-grabbing techniques to determine if a system has been installed.

Ghost is more difficult to get rid of than car alarms that require disarming by pressing a series of buttons. This makes it an excellent alternative to a GPS tracker which helps locate your vehicle after it has been taken.

Emergency PIN code override

You don't have to look very far on social media to find stories or videos of cars that have been stolen using the most advanced technology tools. This includes key-cloning and hacking devices that allow the vehicle to start without the original key fobs.

The Ghost immobiliser has been specifically designed to prevent this and offer an additional layer of security in order to prevent your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It creates a unique pin code by pressing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel and the centre console. The unique pin code is entered in conjunction with your original key fob in order to prevent the engine from getting started. The unique override PIN can be found on the black card that you will receive following installation and is easy to remember because there aren't any LEDs.

The device is hidden in the vehicle's wires and does not emit radio signals, therefore it cannot be detected by modern thieves using diagnostic software that can recognise what type of security system you have installed. This makes it an excellent alternative to the tracker.

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

It is also possible to connect a separate analog immobiliser, alarm, or tracker to these systems, but this has to be specified before installing the device. They are also service/valet mode-compatible and a great alternative to a tracker when having your car in for repairs to an electrical issue at the dealer.

Service/Valet mode

In recent years, there has been a increase in vehicles being stolen with no owner's keys. It is easier than ever to take your joy and pride due to the availability of key cloning tools and door lock picks. To combat this we are now offering the Autowatch Ghost immobiliser that prevents your car from being driven despite the fact that your keys have been copied or your vehicle has been hijacked.

It directly communicates with your cars ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN data circuit. It is completely silent, since it doesn't use radio frequencies or key fobs. It cannot be detected using diagnostics or any other hacking device. It also shields against the possibility of 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 inside your car by using buttons on the steering wheel, centre console & door panels. A unique and reversible PIN code sequence of up to 20 digits has to be entered before you can start your vehicle.

This is the first aftermarket immobiliser for CAN bus to be created that will stop your car from being started or driven away in the event that a PIN code hasn't been entered before. If the device is activated and you attempt to drive away, it will display an indication on your dash which will flash continuously for about 300m, if you enter your PIN code at this point, it will deactivate the anti-hijack system and your vehicle will continue to operate in the normal way. If you do not enter your PIN in this moment, the indicator will continue to flash and will require a new PIN code every time you attempt to start your vehicle.
