1. No stop/start

The Autowatch Ghost CAN Immobiliser was designed and developed as one of the most efficient security systems available. It works by using buttons from the center console as well as the steering wheel and pedals to input a pin code into the vehicle's system, which will then disable the engine. This will prevent the thief taking your vehicle, even if he's got the fob or keys.

The Ghost is also equipped with high-security measures to guard against the device from being stolen by thieves or hacked. This includes CAN-BUS blocking as well as an immobiliser cut. Combining an insurance-approved marking system cutting a car immobiliser will almost eliminate the possibility of your vehicle being stolen.

If your ghost has stopped functioning, it could be a sign of other issues that are not Ghost related. To test this, enter valet or service mode on your ghost immobiliser for sale. This will disconnect your Ghost from the vehicle and you will be in a position to start your vehicle. If you are not able to do this there may be a problem with your Ghost installation or it might be a problem that causes this.

It is not recommended to try to eliminate ghosts yourself unless you have the necessary knowledge. This is because you are working with a complicated and delicate system that directly controls your engine. This can cause damage if handled incorrectly and is extremely risky. We recommend you call the installer for assistance.

2. No ignition

Immobilisers are utilized in modern cars to stop the vehicle from starting if your key does not match the one programmed within. The immobiliser examines the transponder codes stored within the immobiliser against those that are sent by the key. If the codes are in agreement, the engine is able to start. This system can fail for various reasons, including a stolen or missing key, a damaged transponder or one that isn't coded, or electrical problems like a damaged immobiliser antenna wire, which is a part of the ignition cylinder. It is also possible that the codes are confused by multiple keys, like having a spare key, or the car has two transponders within the same key.
