Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

Ghost Immobiliser will safeguard your valuable possession from theft. It is discreet and doesn't require additional key fobs.

The device utilizes 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 allows your vehicle to start.

Simple change of PIN code

Many homeowners are upgrading their security because of the rising number of vehicle thefts. There are a variety of security products that are available for sale, from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. However, not all of them are equally effective in protecting your vehicle. A tracking device can help you locate your vehicle if it's stolen however it cannot stop the crime. Immobilisers, on the other hand, does exactly what it says on the tin: it disables your car's engine so that it is unable to be started. The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced options available on the market, making it almost impossible for thieves to steal your vehicle.

Using the existing buttons in your car, the ghost device creates a unique sequence which must be entered prior to the engine will start. This can be done via the indicator stalk or window buttons. There is also a mobile application that can be used as an emergency PIN override, which allows the driver to operate their car without having to use the button sequence. This feature is particularly useful when you need to surrender your car to a valet service or parking because the immobiliser will still be active and not deactivated.

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

Weatherproof, tiny device

The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is a high-tech 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 over the CAN bus, causing it to shut down the motor. It can be plugged into 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 a common technique used 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'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 indicators and instead uses the buttons in your vehicle, such as the steering wheel, centre console or door panels to create a unique, programmable disarm sequence. The sequence can be extended to up to 20 presses for additional security. The iPhone app lets you make one, authorized connection with a pairing code that is unique to the Ghost and the communication between the two is encrypted.

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

Each vehicle is tested

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

Standard factory immobilisers on vehicles function by using an electronic transponder in the key that transmits an electronic signal to the ECU. If the correct code is sent the car will start however if the transponder is replaced by one from another vehicle the immobiliser will not recognise it. This makes it possible for the vehicle to start and be stolen. The ghost ii immobiliser (Ani114.com) immobiliser was developed by a South African company at the top of the line in vehicle security technology. It protects your vehicle from hacking, key cloning and even key theft. Only by physically towing your car away could a thief steal it, and they would still not be able to drive the vehicle.

Ghost makes use of buttons on your vehicle, such as the indicator stalk, steering wheel, and the door panels, to generate unique PIN codes that must be entered in order to use your car. It does this without extra hardware, such as key fobs. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also undetectable by devices for diagnosis and transmits radio frequency signals, meaning thieves cannot use sophisticated RF scanners or code-grabbing techniques to determine if the system has been set up.

Ghost is more difficult to get rid of than car alarms, which require disarming by pressing several buttons. This makes it a perfect complement to a GPS tracker, which can help locate your car after it has been taken.

Emergency PIN code override

You do not have to go far on social media to find stories or even videos cost of ghost immobiliser vehicles that were stolen by car thieves employing the most advanced technology tools available to them. This includes key-cloning devices as well as hacking tools that allow thieves to start the car without your original keys.

The Ghost immobiliser helps combat this and provides you with an additional layer of security to stop your vehicle from being taken if it is targeted by thieves. It creates an individual pin code sequence that is triggered by the buttons you have on the steering wheel, door panel and the centre console. The unique pin code is entered along with your original key fob in order to prevent the engine from beginning. The unique PIN for override can be found on the black card you will receive following your installation. It's easy to remember because there are no LED indications.

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

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

These systems can also be linked to a separate analogue alarm immobiliser, tracker or alarm. This must be specified prior to the installation. They are also compatible with service/valet modes and a great alternative to a tracking device if you bring your vehicle to the dealer for an electrical problem.

Service/Valet mode

In recent times, there has seen an increase in the number of cars being stolen with the owners' keys. It's now more easy than ever to steal your pride and joy due to the availability of key cloning tools and door lock picks. To combat this we have launched the Autowatch Ghost immobiliser that prevents your car from being driven even if your keys have been cloned or your vehicle was stolen.

It communicates directly to your cars ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN data circuit. It is completely silent as it does not use radio frequencies or key fobs. This means it cannot be detected by diagnostics or other car hacking devices. It also protects the user from using the new ECU or key to bypass the system, as only the PIN code allows the engine to be started.

The device is hidden within your vehicle and is accessible via buttons on your steering wheel, the centre console and door panels. A unique and reversible PIN code sequence of up to 20 digits has to be entered before you are able to start your vehicle.

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