Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

Ghost Immobiliser will safeguard your prized item from theft. It is discreet and does not require additional key fobs.

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

Simple change of PIN code

With the rising rate of vehicle theft, a lot of owners are seeking to improve their security. There are a variety of security gadgets that are sold aftermarket including tracking systems, alarms and immobilisers. They're not all equally effective at protecting your car. A tracking system may assist you in locating your vehicle if it's stolen, but it will not stop the crime. Immobilisers, on the contrary, do exactly what they state on the tin: they shut off your car's engine so that it can't be started. The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced options on the market, making it almost impossible for thieves to steal your car.

The ghost device utilizes the buttons on your car to create an unique sequence that needs to be entered to allow the engine to start. This can be accomplished by using the heater, window or indicator stalk buttons. There is also a mobile app that can be used as an emergency PIN override, which allows the driver to operate their car without the button sequence. This feature is particularly beneficial if you have to surrender your car for valet parking or maintenance, as the immobiliser will still be activated and not disabled.

The Ghost is an innovative and unique device that operates with the buttons on your vehicle rather than as a standalone unit. It's not just an effective deterrent to vehicle theft, but it can be used to secure any future vehicles you own. This makes it a much better investment than a conventional wheel lock.

Weatherproof tiny device

The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is a sophisticated security system that protects your vehicle from key cloning and hacking. It also blocks ECU swapping. It is a tiny weatherproof device that communicates with the ECU of your vehicle directly via the CAN bus to stop the motor. It can be plugged into the vehicle without the need for extra wiring and has been extensively tested to ensure that it is compatible with all vehicles. It is also immune to jamming devices which are a typical method used by car thieves to circumvent immobilisers.

The benefit of using CAN data is that it operates silently when compared to conventional systems. It's not detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology and is also unrecognizable by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost does not produce LED indications and uses the buttons in your vehicle such as steering wheel, centre console or door panels to create a unique, programmable disarm sequence. The sequence can be extended up to 20 presses for additional security. The iPhone app is limited to one connection, using a unique pairing code for the Ghost. All communication between the two devices is protected.

The Ghost will stop car thieves from putting in an ignition key that is not in use or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser. It will only allow the engine to start if the correct PIN code is entered. It can also be put into valet/service mode for a temporary operation (with defined parameters like a 30mph speed limit) to allow you to transfer your vehicle to a valet service or for maintenance without having to enter a PIN code.

Tested for each vehicle

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

Standard factory immobilisers for automobiles function through an electronic transponder in the key that transmits a signal to the ECU. The car will start when the correct code is sent. If, however, the transponder from a different vehicle is used instead, the immobiliser won't recognise it. This allows the vehicle start and be stolen. The Ghost immobiliser was created by an South African company at the top of the line in vehicle security technology. It protects you from hacking or key cloning and even key theft. Only by physically towing your vehicle away can thieves steal it and not be able to drive the vehicle.

Ghost uses buttons on your vehicle, like the indicator stalk, steering wheel, and the doors, to generate an individual PIN code that must be entered to use your car. This is done without any extra hardware, such as key fobs. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also undetectable by equipment for diagnostics and does transmit radio frequency signals, which means thieves are not able to use sophisticated RF scanners or code grabbing techniques to determine if the system has been set up.

ghost immobiliser 2 is more difficult to get rid of than car alarms, which require disarming using a series of buttons. This makes it an excellent supplement to a GPS tracker that can assist in locating your vehicle after it has been taken.

Override of emergency PIN code

You do not have to look far on social media for stories or videos about cars that were stolen using the most advanced technology tools. This includes key-cloning devices and hacking tools that allow them to start the car without your original keys.

Our Ghost immobiliser fights this issue and offers an additional layer of security to prevent your vehicle from being taken in the event of being targeted by thieves. It is created by creating an individual pin code push sequence using your existing buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, and centre console. This unique PIN must be entered together with your original key fob in order to prevent the vehicle from starting. The unique override PIN is on the black card you will receive following your installation and is easy to remember as there are no LED indications.

The device is hidden in the wiring of the vehicle and does not emit radio signals. Therefore, it cannot be detected by diagnostic software which can identify the type of security system you have installed. This makes it a fantastic alternative to an alarm.

In contrast to other security systems which use a relay in engine bays, these immobilisers using CAN communicate via databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the car. This allows them to disable the vehicle completely through the use of a digital block of commands to both the ECU and the engine.

It is also possible to connect a separate analog immobiliser, alarm, or tracker with these systems, however this must be specified before installing the device. They also work with valet and service modes, and are an excellent alternative to a tracker device when you take your car to the dealer to address an electrical problem.

Service/Valet mode

In recent years there has been an increase in vehicles being stolen from owners without keys. With easy access to key cloning tools and door lock pick sets, it is now much easier for thieves to take your pride and joy. To stop this, we now offer the Autowatch Ghost immobiliser that prevents your car from being driven despite the fact that your keys have been cloned or your vehicle has been stolen.

It connects directly to your cars ECU (Engine Control Unit) through the CAN data circuit. It's completely silent since it doesn't use radio frequencies or key fobs. This means it cannot be detected by diagnostics or other vehicle hacking devices. It also stops the user from using the new ECU or key to bypass the system, because only the PIN number allows the engine to be started.

The device is hidden within your vehicle and is accessed by existing buttons on your steering wheel, the centre console and door panels. Before you can start your car, you need to enter a unique and changeable PIN number that is up to 20 digits.

This is the first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser that was designed. It will stop your vehicle from being driven or started if you don't enter a PIN code first. If the device is in armed and you attempt to drive away, it will display an indicator on your dash which will flash continuously for about 300m. If you type in your PIN code during this time, it will disable the anti-hijack system and your vehicle will continue to drive in the normal way. If you do not enter your PIN at this time the indicator will continue to flash and require a new PIN each time you attempt to start your vehicle.
