Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Installation

Ghost immobilisers are a recent technology in vehicle security. They are revolutionary in how they safeguard your vehicle from hacking, key-cloning and even wheel jacking.

TASSA Approved

The new TASSA-verified Ghost-II CAN from Autowatch is an innovative device that was designed to fight the most recent car crime trends, including key cloning, hacking and other forms of theft. The smart system is connected directly to the onboard CAN network of your vehicle, and prevents it from being started or driven without the right code. The system is completely undetectable and does not utilize radio frequencies or an electronic key fob, rather it allows you to create a unique PIN sequence through existing buttons in your vehicle such as those on the dashboard or steering wheel and can be changed at anytime. You can make the PIN up to 20 times long to ensure maximum security and an emergency code that is secure included too.

The system communicates with the vehicle's CAN data network to determine when a specific PIN has been entered, this then sends a signal back to the vehicle, which disables engine and ignition and shuts down crucial components like the starter motor and fuel pump. The system also offers the option of a "valet mode" allowing you to deactivate the system and prevent your car from being driven by valets or service center personnel without the correct keys.

The Ghost device is distinct from traditional immobilisers that can be disabled using professional diagnostic tools. It utilizes the onboard network to communicate with ECUs and cannot be altered. It's a sealed unit so it is inaccessible to listen into the circuits, making it near impossible for thieves to hear the tell-tale clicking noise that traditional immobiliser relays make.

This technology is not vulnerable to jamming tools used by high-tech thieves and is not detected by any other diagnostic tools because it uses the CAN data networks. This means it's an ideal anti-theft solution for any modern automobile.
