They are integrated into vehicle buttons and provide protection against key cloning. A ghost immobiliser prevents the engine from starting until you enter a pre-determined PIN code in conjunction with your key fob. The PIN code can be up to 20 presses long and is changeable by the driver via an app or by the buttons on the vehicle. If you forget your pin, or an item breaks or you sell your vehicle, you can use an emergency PIN code that is unique to each device to reset the system.

Ghost immobilisers also have the benefit of being unnoticeable by devices for diagnostics and do not emit radio frequency signals.

Simple PIN Code Change Process

Ghost immobilisers, unlike key fobs that utilize a code to unlock the ECU of your vehicle and start it by communicating with the ECU via the CAN data network. They are therefore undetectable by diagnostic tools, quiet and invulnerable to hack. These systems can be attached to many different vehicles, including motorhomes and trucks, as well as plant machinery.

Our Autowatch Ghost system was created to offer complete security against theft. It stops your vehicle from starting without either the unique PIN code or smartphone app that has the Ghost app downloaded. This is a incredibly high level of security that can protect your vehicle from hacking, key cloning and ECU swapping.

The reason it's so secure is that there is no requirement to add additional components such as key fobs or LED indicators, or a remote. The device uses the buttons on your steering wheel and door panels instead to generate a sequence that can be altered prior to the start of your car. This can be up to 20 actions long and is similar in function to a PIN code on your credit card.

The device is also completely concealed, so that thieves are unable to locate it. Additionally, it does not utilize radio signals and works on the CAN data network, making it totally undetectable to thieves using RF scanners.

Many thieves attempt to remove the chip from the CAN or replace it inside the ECU to be able to avoid detection. But, this method is only possible for professionals with the appropriate tools. This is the reason why the ghost immobiliser is so effective and can be utilized to protect your car from various kinds of vehicle thefts.

It can also be paired to an iPhone, which you will require if you want to start your car once it is located at home or at work. The app will detect the phone and allow you to drive with no needing a PIN code. This feature is available on all models of the Autowatch Ghost and can be connected to as many smartphones as you'd like.
