Simple change of PIN code

Many owners are upgrading their security because of the increase in vehicle theft. There are many types of aftermarket security devices available, from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. However they do not all are equally effective in protecting your car. A tracking system may help you locate your vehicle if it's stolen however it cannot prevent the crime.

In addition to this option, there is an app for mobile devices that acts as an emergency PIN code override and allows the driver to operate the car without having to use the button sequence. This feature is particularly beneficial if you have to give your car away to a valet service or parking, as the immobiliser will remain active and not deactivated.

The Ghost is an unique and innovative device that works by using the buttons of your vehicle instead of as a separate unit.

This makes it a far more cost-effective option than a traditional wheel lock.

Small, weatherproof device

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is a sophisticated security system that protects your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and ECU swapping. It's a weatherproof, tiny device that connects directly to your vehicle's ECU over the CAN data bus, which disables the engine. It can be plugged into the vehicle without wiring, and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It is also indestructible to jamming devices that are an approach used frequently by car thieves to circumvent existing immobilisers.

The advantage of CAN data over traditional systems is that they operate silently. It isn't detected by sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing technologies as well as identified by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost does not use LED indicators and instead uses buttons in your vehicle, such as the steering wheel, the centre console, or door panels, to create a an unique sequence of disarming. The sequence can be extended to 20 presses for additional security. The iPhone app lets you make a single, authorised connection with a pairing code that is unique to the Ghost and communication between the two is encrypted.

The ghost immobiliser for sale also prevents car thieves from adding a new key or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser and start the engine. The engine can only be started only if a valid PIN is entered. It is possible to operate temporarily in valet or service mode (with parameters set, such as 30mph speed limit), so you can hand your car to an attendant or valet without having to enter an entry code.

Every vehicle is tested

The Autowatch Ghost is the first 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 to block the system of your vehicle from going through 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.

Standard factory immobilisers on vehicles function by using a transponder inside the key, which sends a signal to the ECU. The car will start if the correct code is transmitted. However, if a transponder of a different vehicle is used instead, the immobiliser doesn't recognise it. This allows the vehicle to be stolen and then started. A South African company that is at the forefront of safety systems technology created the Ghost immobiliser. It protects you from key cloning or hacking, and even key theft. Only by physically towing your car away from thieves could they take it away and not be able to drive it.

Ghost makes use of the buttons on your vehicle, including the indicator stalk as well as the steering wheel and door panels to generate an unique PIN sequence that can be changed that must be entered prior to you can use your car. This is done without additional hardware, like keys fobs. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also inaccessible to diagnostic equipment and does transmit radio frequency signals, which means thieves cannot use sophisticated RF scanners or code grabbing technologies to identify that the system has been set up.

Ghost is more difficult to get rid of than car alarms, which require disarming by pressing a series of buttons. This makes it an excellent complement to a GPS tracker which helps locate your car after it has been stolen.

Emergency PIN code override

You don't have to look far on social media to find stories or videos of vehicles that were stolen using the most advanced technology tools. Key-cloning devices, for instance, and hacking tools that allow thieves to start the vehicle with your original keys.

The Ghost immobiliser was designed to stop this and provide you with an extra layer of security to protect your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It generates a unique pin code when pressing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel, and the centre console. The unique pin code must be entered together with your original key fob in order to prevent the vehicle from beginning. The unique PIN for override is on the black card that you will receive following your installation. It's easy to remember because there aren't any LEDs.

The device is hidden within the vehicle's wires, and doesn't emit any radio signals, so it cannot be recognized by thieves using diagnostic software that can recognise what type of security system you have installed. This makes it an excellent alternative to an electronic device for tracking.

Unlike other security systems, which rely on a relay in the engine bays, 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 an electronic block to the ECU and engine.

It is also possible to connect an analogue immobiliser, alarm or tracker with these systems, however this must be specified before installing the device. They are also fully service/valet mode compatible and a great alternative to a tracker you are taking your car in for repair at the dealers.
