Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

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

The device utilizes buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels, door panels and centre console) to generate a unique pin sequence that can be altered up to 20 times. This will allow your vehicle to start.

Simple PIN code Change Process

Many homeowners are upgrading their security due to the increase in vehicle theft. There are many types of security products that are available, from tracking systems to immobilisers and alarms. Not all of them are equally effective at protecting your vehicle. While a tracking system can help you find your car in the event of theft, it does not stop the crime from happening in the first in the first place. Immobilisers, on the other hand is exactly what says on the tin: it disables your car's engine to prevent it from being started. The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced options on the market, making it almost impossible for thieves to take your car.

The ghost device utilizes the buttons on your car to generate an unique sequence that needs to be entered to allow the engine to begin. This can be done via the indicator stalk or window buttons. In addition to this it is possible to use an app for mobile devices that can function as an emergency PIN code override, allowing the driver to operate the car without having to use the button sequence. This feature is particularly useful when you need to give your car away for valet parking or maintenance since the immobiliser will remain activated, but not disabled.

The auto ghost Immobiliser is an unique and innovative device that operates with the buttons on your vehicle rather than as a standalone device. This means that it's not just a powerful protection against theft of your vehicle, but it can also be transferred to any future vehicles you may own, making it much more valuable than traditional steering wheel locks.

Small, weatherproof device

The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is a high-tech security system that protects your pride & joy from key hacking and cloning. It also stops ECU swapping. It's a small weatherproof device that communicates with the ECU of your vehicle directly over the CAN bus to disable the motor. It can be plugged into the vehicle without additional wiring, and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It also is resistant to jamming devices that are a popular method used by car thieves to bypass immobilisers.

The advantage of using CAN data is that it runs silently in comparison to conventional systems. It is not able to be detected by sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing techniques and cannot be detected by traditional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost doesn't 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. This sequence can be extended to 20 presses for extra security. The iPhone app lets you make one, authorized connection using a pairing code that is unique to the Ghost and the communication between the two is encrypted.

The ghost 2 immobiliser fitting near me will stop car thieves from putting in a new ignition key or replacing the ECU in order to bypass the immobiliser. It will only allow the engine to run when the correct PIN code is entered. It is also possible to put it into valet/service mode for a temporary operation (with set parameters such as 30mph speed limit) so that you can transfer your vehicle to a valet service to be serviced without needing to enter a PIN code.

Each vehicle is tested

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that connects to the existing wiring in your vehicle and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device intercepts signals to prevent your car from starting normally until you enter a custom code. The system can be turned on and off using your own smartphone app without the need for wires.

The standard factory immobilisers function by using a transponder that is integrated into the key. This transmits a signal to the ECU. If the correct code is sent the car will begin however, if the transponder is replaced by one from a different vehicle, the immobiliser cannot recognize it. This makes it possible for the vehicle to be stolen and started. The Ghost immobiliser was developed by a South African company at the forefront of vehicle security systems technology. It shields your pride and joy from key cloning, hacking and even key theft. Only by physically towing your car away could a thief take it away, and they would still not be able to drive the vehicle.

Ghost uses buttons on your vehicle, including the indicator stalk, steering wheel, as well as the door panels, to generate an individual PIN code which must be entered in order to use your car. This is done without additional hardware, like keys fobs. It can take up to 20 presses. It is also undetectable to diagnostic equipment and does not transmit radio frequency signals so thieves cannot use sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology to discover that the security system has been installed.

Ghost is harder to remove than car alarms, which require disarming using several buttons. This makes it an excellent alternative to an GPS tracking device, which can be used to locate your vehicle after it's been stolen.

Emergency PIN code override

You don't have to look too far on social media to see stories or even videos of vehicles that were stolen by car thieves employing the latest technology tools available to them. This includes key-cloning and hacking tools that allow the vehicle to start without the original key fobs.

The Ghost immobiliser has been specifically designed to prevent this and offer an additional layer of security in order to protect your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It creates a unique pin code when pushing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel, and the centre console. The unique pin code must be entered along with your original key fob to prevent the vehicle from beginning. The unique override pin is 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 within the vehicle's wiring and does not emit radio signals. This means it can't be detected using diagnostic software that can determine what type of security systems you have installed. This makes it a fantastic alternative to the tracker.

Contrary to other security systems which rely on a relay in the engine bay, these immobilisers CANBUS communicate through CAN databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the car. This allows them to shut down a vehicle completely, by sending an electronic block to the ECU and engine.

It is also possible to connect an analog immobiliser, alarm, or tracker with these systems, however this must be stated prior to the installation of the device. They are also compatible with service/valet modes and an excellent alternative to a tracker device when you take your car into the dealer to address an electrical problem.

Service/Valet mode

In recent times there has been a increase in the number of vehicles stolen without the owner's keys. It's now easier than ever before to steal your pride and joy thanks to the availability of key cloning tools & door lock picks. We have developed the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It prevents your car from being driven, even if you keys have been copied.

It communicates directly with your car's ECU (Engine Control Unit) through the data loop of CAN. It's completely quiet since it doesn't use radio frequency or key fobs. This means that it can't be detected by diagnostics or other car hacking devices. It also prevents you from adding a new ECU or key to circumvent the system, because only the PIN number allows the engine to start.

The device is hidden within your car by using buttons on the steering wheel, centre console & door panels. Before you can start your vehicle, you must enter a unique and reversible PIN number that is up to 20 numbers.

This is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that has been created. It can prevent your vehicle from being driven or started when you don't enter a PIN number first. If you are driving away with the device armed, an indicator will appear on your dashboard and flash continuously for approximately 300m. Entering your PIN code will turn off the anti-hijack. Your car will continue to run normally. If you don't enter your PIN at this time, the indicator will continue to flash and require a new PIN every time you attempt to start your car.
