Protect Your Pride And Joy With The ghost immobiliser fitting Immobiliser

Protect your pride & joy against theft with the Ghost Immobiliser. It is discreet and doesn't require additional key fobs.

The device uses existing buttons on your vehicle (steering wheel doors, door panels, and the centre console) to create a unique, changeable pin code sequence that can be up to 20 presses. This will allow your vehicle to begin.

Simple process to change the PIN code

With the rising rate of vehicle thefts, many owners are looking to improve their security. There are many kinds of security products that are available for sale including tracking systems, alarms and immobilisers. They're not all equally effective at protecting your vehicle. A tracking device can help you locate your vehicle if it's stolen however, it won't stop the crime. Immobilisers, however perform exactly as they state on the tin: they disable your car's motor so that it isn't able to be started. The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most sophisticated options available, making it almost impossible for thieves to steal your vehicle.

By using the buttons that are already present in your car, the ghost device creates an exclusive sequence that has to be entered prior to the engine starts. This can be accomplished using the indicator stalk, window or heater buttons. Additionally, there is also a mobile app which acts as an emergency PIN code override and allows the driver to operate the car without using the button sequence. This is especially beneficial if you have to hand your car over for valet parking or servicing, as the immobiliser is active and not deactivated.

The Ghost is an unique and innovative device that works with your vehicle's buttons rather than as a standalone unit. It is not only an effective deterrent to theft of your vehicle and vandalism, but it can be used to secure any future vehicles you own. This makes it a far better investment than a traditional wheel lock.

Weatherproof small device

The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is a high-tech security device that shields your vehicle from key hacking and cloning. It also stops ECU swapping. It's a weatherproof and small device that communicates directly with your vehicle's ECU over the CAN data bus, which disables the engine. It can be plugged into the vehicle without the need for additional wiring and has been thoroughly tested to ensure that it works with all vehicles. It also is resistant to jamming devices which are a typical method used by car thieves to bypass immobilisers.

The advantage of using CAN data is that it runs silently when compared to conventional systems. It can't be detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology and is likewise unreadable by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost doesn't emit LED indicators and instead uses the buttons inside your vehicle, such as the steering wheel, centre console or door panels to create a unique, changeable disarm sequence. This sequence can be extended 20 or more presses for extra security. The iPhone app allows only one connection, with a unique pairing code for the Ghost. All communication between the two devices is protected.

The Ghost stops car thieves from adding an ignition key replacement or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser. The engine will only run only if a valid PIN has been entered. It can also be put into valet/service mode for a temporary operation (with set parameters such as 30mph speed limit) to allow you to transfer your vehicle to a valet service or to be serviced without needing to enter a PIN code.

Tested for each vehicle

The Autowatch Ghost is a first-of-its-kind aftermarket immobiliser for CANbus. It can be connected to the vehicle's wiring and also to the engine control unit (ECU). The device detects electronic signals that block your car's system from performing its normal initialization process until you enter the passcode you have created. The system can be turned off or on through your smartphone's app, without the need for extra wires.

The standard factory immobilisers function by using a transponder that is built into the key. This transmits a signal to the ECU. If the correct code is transmitted the car will begin, but if a transponder is replaced by one from another vehicle the immobiliser cannot recognize it. This makes it possible for the vehicle to be stolen and then started. A South African company that is at the forefront of car security systems technology has developed the Ghost immobiliser. It safeguards 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 it.

Ghost uses buttons on your vehicle, like the indicator stalk, the steering wheel, and doors, to generate a unique PIN code which must be entered in order to use your car. This is done without any extra hardware, such as a keyfob. It can take up to 20 presses. It is also inaccessible to diagnostics equipment and does not transmit radio frequency signals so thieves are unable to make use of sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology to discover that the security system has been installed.

Unlike physical anti-theft devices like clamps or wheel locks, Ghost is covertly integrated into the vehicle, so it cannot be taken away or disabled by thieves. It is more difficult to remove than a car alarm that requires disarming with the use of a button sequence. This makes it an excellent complement to a GPS tracker, which can help locate your car after it has been taken.

Override of emergency PIN code

You don't need to look too far on social media to find stories or even videos of vehicles that have been taken by thieves using the latest technology tools available to them. This includes key-cloning and hacking devices that allow the vehicle to start without the original key fobs.

The Ghost immobiliser was designed to combat this, and give you an additional layer of security in order to keep your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It generates a unique pin code by pressing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel and the centre console. This unique PIN is entered in conjunction with the original key fob to prevent the engine from starting. The unique override pin is located on a black card which you will receive following your installation. It is simple to remember since there are no LED indicators.

The device is hidden inside the vehicle's wires, and doesn't emit any radio signals, therefore it can't be recognized by criminals using diagnostic software that is able to recognise what type of security system you have installed. This makes it a great alternative to an alarm.

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

It is also possible to connect an analogue immobiliser, alarm or tracker to these systems but this must be specified prior to installing the device. They are also compatible with service/valet modes and a great alternative to a tracking device if you take your car into the dealer to address an electrical issue.

Service/Valet mode

In recent times, there has been a rise in the number of vehicles being stolen with the owners' keys. It is easier than ever before to steal your pride & joy with the availability of key cloning tools & door lock picks. We have developed the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It blocks your vehicle from being driven even if your keys have been copied.

It directly communicates with your car's ECU (Engine Control Unit) through the data loop called CAN. It's completely silent as it doesn't use radio frequencies or key fobs. It cannot be detected using diagnostics or any other hacking device. It also protects the user from using the new ECU or key to bypass the system, since only the PIN code allows the engine to start.

The device is hidden in your car and can be accessible via buttons on your steering wheel, centre console, and door panels. Before you can start your vehicle, you must enter a unique, changeable PIN code up to 20 digits.

This is the very first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser for the market that was created. It will stop your vehicle from being driven or even started when you don't enter a PIN number first. If the device is armed and you attempt to drive away, it will display a warning on your dash that will flash regularly for around 300m. If you type in your PIN code during this time, it will disable the anti-hijack device and your car will continue to operate in the normal way. If you do not enter your PIN at this time the indication will keep flashing & will require a new PIN code for every attempt to start your vehicle.
