Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

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

The device utilizes buttons on your vehicle (steering wheel doors, door panels and centre console) to create a unique, changeable pin code sequence up to 20 presses. This will then allow your vehicle to begin.

Simple PIN Code Change Process

With the growing rate of vehicle thefts, many owners are looking to improve their security. There are many types of security products that are available, from tracking systems to immobilisers and alarms. However, not all of them are equally effective in protecting your car. A tracking system can assist you in locating your car if it is stolen however it cannot stop the crime. Immobilisers, however are exactly what they state on the label - they disable your car's motor so that it can't be started. The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced options available on the market, making it almost impossible for thieves to take your vehicle.

The ghost device uses the buttons on your car to generate an unique sequence that needs to be entered to allow the engine to start. This can be done using the heater, window or indicator stalk buttons. There is also a mobile app that can be used as an emergency PIN override, allowing the driver to operate their car without the need to use the button sequence. This option is particularly useful when you need to hand your car over to a valet service or parking, as the immobiliser is activated, but not disabled.

The Ghost is a very unique and ingenious device that is used in conjunction with the buttons of your car instead of being a separate device. This means that it's not just a powerful protection against theft of your vehicle, but can also be transferred onto any other vehicles you may own, making it more valuable than traditional steering wheel locks.

Small, weatherproof device

The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is a sophisticated security device that shields your car from key cloning and hacking. It also blocks ECU swapping. It is a weatherproof tiny device that communicates directly with your vehicle's ECU via the CAN data bus, which disables the engine. It can be plugged into the vehicle without wiring and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It also is resistant to jamming devices that are an approach used frequently by thieves to get around the immobilisers in place.

The benefit of CAN data over traditional systems is that they operate in a silent manner. It can't be detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technologies and is also undetectable by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost doesn't use LED indicators but instead utilizes buttons in your vehicle, like the steering wheel, centre console or doors, to create a unique disarming sequence. This sequence can be extended by 20 presses for extra security. The iPhone app allows only one connection, Fit and comes with a unique pairing code for the Ghost. All communication between the two devices is protected.

The Ghost also prevents car thieves from using the key to a new car or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser and begin the engine. The engine can only be started when a valid PIN code has been entered. It is able to be operated temporarily in the Valet/Service mode (with the appropriate parameters, like a 30mph speed limit) and, therefore, you can offer your vehicle to a valet or service without having to enter the code.

Each vehicle is tested

The Autowatch Ghost is the world's first aftermarket immobiliser for CAN bus that is able to be connected to the wiring of your vehicle and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device detects electronic signals to disable the system of your vehicle from running its normal start-up routine until you input an individual passcode. The system can be turned on or off through your smartphone's app without the need for extra wires.

The standard factory immobilisers work with a transponder which is integrated into the key. This transmits a signal to the ECU. If the correct code is transmitted the car will begin however, if the transponder is swapped with one from a different vehicle, the immobiliser will not recognise it. This allows the vehicle be stolen and then started. A South African company that is at the forefront of safety systems technology developed the ghost immobiliser cost immobiliser. It shields your car from key cloning, hacking and even key theft. Only by physically towing your vehicle away could a thief steal it, and they would still not be able to drive it.

Ghost uses buttons on your vehicle, such as the indicator stalk, steering wheel, as well as the door panels, to create unique PIN codes that must be entered in order to use your vehicle. This is done without any additional hardware, like key fobs. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also unrecognizable to diagnostics equipment and doesn't transmit radio frequency signals, which means thieves are not able to use sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology to determine if security systems have been installed.

In contrast to the physical devices that prevent theft, such as wheel locks or clamps, Ghost is hidden within the vehicle to ensure that it can't be removed or disabled by thieves. It is even more difficult to get rid of than a car alarm, which requires disarming with an action sequence. This makes it a perfect alternative to a GPS tracker which helps locate your car after it has been stolen.

Override of emergency PIN code

You do not have to look far on social media sites to find stories or even videos of vehicles that were stolen by car thieves employing the most advanced technology tools available to them. Key-cloning devices, for instance, and hacking tools that allow them to start the vehicle with your original keys.

Our Ghost immobiliser fights this and provides you with an additional layer of security to prevent your vehicle from being taken if it is targeted by thieves. It is created by creating a unique pin code push sequence from the buttons you have on the steering wheel, door panel and the centre console. The unique pin code is entered along with the original key fob to prevent the engine from starting. The unique override PIN can be found on the black card that you will receive after installation. It is simple to remember since there are no LED indicators.

The device is hidden in the vehicle's wiring and doesn't emit any radio signals, therefore it isn't able to be detected by modern criminals using diagnostic software that can detect the type of security system you have installed. This makes it a great alternative to an alarm.

Unlike other security systems, which rely on a relay in the engine bays, CANBUS immobilisers communicate via CAN databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the car. This allows them to block a vehicle completely by sending an electronic block to the ECU and engine.

These systems can also be connected to a separate alarm, immobiliser or tracker. This should be specified prior to the installation. They also work with service/valet modes and is a great alternative to a tracker device when you bring your vehicle to the dealer for repairs to an electrical issue.

Service/Valet Mode

In recent times there has been a increase in the number of vehicles stolen without the owner's keys. It is easier than ever before to take your joy and pride with the availability of key cloning devices and door lock picks. We've developed the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It blocks your car from being driven, even if you keys have been copied.

It communicates directly to your car's ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN data circuit. It's completely quiet since it doesn't use radio frequencies or key fobs. It isn't detected by diagnostics or any other hacking device. It also prevents you from introducing the new ECU or key to bypass the system since only the PIN code allows the engine to start.

The device is hidden within your car and can be accessible via buttons on your steering wheel, center console and door panels. Before you can start your vehicle, you must enter a unique, changeable PIN number that is up to 20 digits.

This is the first aftermarket immobiliser CAN bus that has been developed that can prevent your car from being driven away or started without a PIN code being entered first. If the device is armed and you attempt to drive away, it will display a warning on your dash, which will flash continuously for about 300m. If you enter your PIN code at this point it will disarm the anti-hijack system and your vehicle will continue to operate in the normal way. If you don't 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 car.
