Simple PIN code Change Process

With the rising rate of vehicle theft, a lot of owners are seeking to improve their security. There are many types of aftermarket security devices available, from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. Not all of them are equally effective at protecting your car. A tracking system may assist you in locating your vehicle if it's stolen however, it won't stop the crime.

The Ghost is a unique and innovative device that works in conjunction with buttons of your car rather than being a standalone unit. It is not only an effective deterrent to vehicle theft however, it can be used on future vehicles you own. This makes it a far better investment than a conventional wheel lock.

Weatherproof, tiny device

The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is an advanced security system that protects your car from key cloning and hacking. It also stops ECU swapping. It is a small weatherproof device that communicates with the ECU of your vehicle directly over the CAN bus to stop the motor. It can be placed in the vehicle without the need for additional wiring, and has been thoroughly tested to ensure it works 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 advantage of using CAN data is that it operates in a silent manner in comparison to conventional systems. It isn't detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology and is also unrecognizable by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost does not employ LED indicators but instead utilizes buttons in your vehicle, such as the steering wheel, the centre console, or door panels, to create an unique sequence of disarming. This sequence can be extended 20 or more presses to provide additional security. The iPhone app allows one, authorized connection using a pairing code that is unique to the Ghost and the communication between the two is encrypted.

The Ghost also stops thieves from stealing the key to a new car or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser and start the engine. The engine will only run only if a valid PIN is entered. It can also be put in valet/service mode to allow for temporary operation (with set parameters such as 30mph speed limit) to allow you to give your car to a valet service or for servicing without the need to enter a PIN.

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 stop your car from starting up normally until you enter a custom code. The system can be turned on or off via your smartphone's app, without the need for additional wires.

Standard factory immobilisers on vehicles work by having a transponder inside the key, which sends an indication to the ECU. If the correct code is sent the car will begin however, if the transponder is swapped with one from a different vehicle, the immobiliser cannot recognize it. This enables the vehicle to be started and stolen. A South African company that is at the forefront of safety systems technology has developed the ghost car immobiliser immobiliser. It safeguards your vehicle from hacking, key cloning and even key theft. The only way a thief could take your car is physically towing it away, and even then they wouldn't be allowed to drive it.

Ghost utilizes the buttons of your car, such as the indicator stalk, steering wheel and door panels to create an individual PIN code that is changeable that needs to be entered before you can use your car. It does this without extra hardware, such as keys fobs. It can take up to 20 presses. It is also unrecognizable by equipment for diagnostics and does transmit radio frequency signals, which means thieves are not able to use sophisticated RF scanners or code grabbing technologies to detect that a system has been installed.

Contrary to physical anti-theft devices such as clamps or wheel locks, Ghost is concealed within the vehicle so it can't be removed or disabled by thieves and is even more difficult to get rid of than a car alarm that requires disarming using the use of a button sequence. This makes it an excellent complement to an GPS tracking device that can be used to locate your vehicle after it's stolen.

Override of emergency PIN code

The unique override pin is found on a black plastic card which you will receive following the installation. It is simple to remember since there aren't any LED indicators.

The device is hidden inside the vehicle's wires, and does not emit radio signals, which means it isn't able to be identified by modern criminals with diagnostic software that can recognise what type of security system you have installed. This makes it an excellent alternative to the tracker.

Contrary to other security systems which use a relay in engine bays, immobilisers using CAN communicate via databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the car. This allows them to disable the vehicle completely by sending an electronic block of commands that is sent to both the ECU and the engine.

It is also possible to connect an analog immobiliser, alarm, or tracker to these systems, but this has to be stated prior to the installation of the device. They are also service/valet-mode compatible and a good alternative to a tracker if you are you have your car checked for an electrical fault at the dealer.
