Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

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

The device makes use of the buttons in your vehicle (steering wheel, door panels & centre console) to create a unique, changeable pin code sequence that can be up to 20 presses long. This will then allow the vehicle to start.

Simple process to change the PIN code

With the rising rate of vehicle thefts, many owners are looking to upgrade their security. There are a variety of aftermarket security devices that range from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. Not all of them are equally effective in protecting your car. While a tracking device can assist you in locating your car in the case of theft, it does not stop the crime from occurring in the first in the first place. Immobilisers, however perform exactly as they say on the label - they shut down the motor of your car so that it isn't able to be started. The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced options available, making it virtually impossible for thieves to steal your vehicle.

Using the existing buttons in your car The ghost device generates an exclusive sequence that has to be entered before the engine can start. This can be done by using the heater, window or indicator stalk buttons. There is also a mobile application that can be used as an emergency PIN override, which allows the driver to operate their vehicle without having to use the button sequence. This is a great option for those who want to offer your car to valet parking or maintenance. The immobiliser will stay in operation.

The Ghost is a truly unique and innovative device that is used in conjunction with the buttons of your car rather than as a separate unit. It's not just an effective deterrent for vehicle theft, but it can be used to secure any future vehicles you may own. This makes it a much more cost-effective option than a traditional wheel lock.

Small device that is weatherproof

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is a sophisticated security system that guards your car from key cloning, hacking & ECU swapping. It's a weatherproof and small device that connects directly to your vehicle's ECU via the CAN data bus to disable the engine. It can be installed in the vehicle without the need for additional wiring and has been extensively tested to make sure it is compatible with all vehicles. It is also immune to jamming devices, which are a common technique used by thieves to bypass immobilisers.

The advantage of CAN data over traditional systems is that they operate in a silent manner. It's not detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology and is also unrecognizable by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost doesn't produce LED indications and uses the buttons on your vehicle such as steering wheel or centre console panels to create a unique, customizable disarm sequence. You can create a sequence that is up to 20 presses long to increase security. The iPhone app is limited to one connection, using an individual pairing code for the Ghost. All communication between the two devices 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 start when a valid PIN code is entered. It is able to be operated temporarily in Valet/Service mode (with parameters set such as 30mph speed limit) and, therefore, you can hand your car to valet or service without needing to enter a code.

Tested for each vehicle

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CANbus immobiliser. It can be connected to the vehicle's wiring and to the engine control unit (ECU). The device detects signals to stop your car from starting normally until you enter a custom code. The system can be turned on and off through your smartphone's application without the need for wires.

Standard factory immobilisers in vehicles work by having an electronic transponder in the key that sends an indication to the ECU. The car will begin to start if the correct code is transmitted. If, however, the transponder from a different vehicle is used instead, the immobiliser doesn't recognize it. This enables the vehicle to start and be stolen. A South African company that is at the forefront of car security systems technology created the Ghost immobiliser. It protects your car from key cloning, hacking and even key theft. Only by physically towing your car away could a thief steal it and not be able to drive the vehicle.

ghost immobiliser for sale makes use of buttons on your vehicle, such as the indicator stalk, the steering wheel, and the doors, to generate a unique PIN code that needs to be entered in order to use your car. This is performed without the need for additional hardware, such as a key-fob and can be as long as 20 presses long. It is also inaccessible to devices for diagnosis and transmits radio frequency signals, so thieves cannot make use of sophisticated RF scanners or code-grabbing techniques to determine if the system has been set up.

Unlike physical anti-theft devices like clamps or wheel locks, Ghost is concealed within the vehicle, so it cannot be taken away or disabled by thieves and is more difficult to remove than a car alarm that requires disarming with the use of a button sequence. This makes it a great complement to a GPS tracker that can assist in locating your vehicle after it has been stolen.

Emergency PIN code override

You do not have to look far on social media for stories or videos of vehicles that have been stolen with the most advanced technology tools. This includes key-cloning devices and hacking devices that allow you to start your car without the original key fobs.

Our Ghost immobiliser is specifically designed to prevent this and provide you with an extra layer of security in order to prevent your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It generates an individual pin code by pushing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel, and on the centre console. This unique PIN is entered along with your original key fob to stop the engine from getting started. The unique override pin can be found on a black card that you will receive after your installation. It is simple to remember because there are no LED indicators.

The device is hidden in the vehicle's wires and doesn't emit any radio signals, so it cannot be identified by modern criminals using diagnostic software that is able to recognise what type of security system you have installed. This makes it a great alternative to the tracking device.

In contrast to other security systems which use a relay in engine bay, these immobilisers CANBUS communicate through CAN databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the vehicle. This enables them to shut down the vehicle completely by sending the use of a digital block of commands for both the ECU and the engine.

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

Service/Valet Mode

In recent years, there has been a increase in vehicles being stolen with no owner's keys. With easy access to key cloning tools and door lock pick sets, it is now easier than ever for thieves to steal your prized possessions. We have developed the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It prevents your car from being driven, even if your keys have been cloned.

It communicates directly to your vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) through the CAN data circuit. It's completely silent because it does not utilize radio frequencies or key fobs. It can't be detected by diagnostics or any other hacking device. It also prevents the addition of the key to a new one or replacing the ECU to bypass the system, since only the correct PIN code will allow the engine to start.

The device is hidden in your vehicle and is reached via the buttons on your steering wheel, the centre console and door panels. Before you can begin your car, you need to enter a unique and reversible PIN code that can be as long as 20 digits.

This is the first aftermarket immobiliser for CAN bus to be developed that can prevent your car being started or driven away without a PIN code being entered prior to. If you are driving away with the device in motion the indicator will flash on your dashboard that will flash continuously for around 300m. Entering your PIN code will turn off the anti-hijack. Your vehicle will continue to operate as normal. If you don't enter your PIN code at this point, the warning will continue to flash and require a new PIN code every attempt to start your vehicle.
