Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

Secure your prized possessions against theft by using the Ghost Immobiliser. This system is discrete and doesn't require additional key fobs to operate.

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

Simple PIN code change process

Many owners are upgrading their security due to the rising number of vehicle thefts. There are many kinds of security products that are available for sale, installed from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. However there are a few that are equally effective in protecting your car. While a tracking system may help you find your car in the case of theft, it can not stop the crime from occurring in the first in the first place. Immobilisers, on the contrary, do exactly what they claim on the label - they disable your car's motor so that it can't be started. The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced options available on the market, making it nearly impossible for thieves to steal your vehicle.

The ghost device utilizes the buttons on your car to generate an unique sequence that needs to be entered to allow the engine to start. This can be accomplished by using the window, heater or indicator stalk buttons. In addition it is possible to use an app on mobile that can function as an emergency PIN code bypass and allow the driver to operate the car without the button sequence. This option is particularly useful when you need to surrender your car for valet parking or maintenance, as the immobiliser is activated, but not disabled.

The Ghost is an unique and innovative device that works with the buttons on your vehicle rather than as a standalone unit. This means that it is not just a highly effective security measure against theft from your vehicle but it can also be transferred onto any other vehicles you may own, making it more valuable than the traditional lock on your steering wheel.

Weatherproof, tiny device

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is a high-tech security device that protects your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and ECU swapping. It is a small, weatherproof device that communicates with the ECU of your vehicle directly through the CAN bus to disable the motor. It can be placed in the vehicle without the need for extra wiring and has been extensively tested to ensure that it works with all vehicles. It is also resistant against jamming devices that are a popular technique that car thieves use to get around immobilisers.

The benefit of using CAN data is that it runs silently compared to traditional systems. It's not detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technologies and installed is also unrecognizable by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost doesn't use LED indicators and instead uses buttons in your vehicle, like the steering wheel, centre console or door panels, to create a unique disarming sequence. You can even make this sequence up to 20 presses long to provide additional security. The iPhone app allows one, authorized connection using a pairing code that is unique to the Ghost and communication between the two is secured.

The Ghost also prevents thieves from stealing a new key or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser and begin the engine. It will only allow the engine to start if the correct PIN code is entered. It can be temporarily operated in Valet/Service mode (with parameters set such as a 30mph speed limit), so you can hand your car to a valet or service without needing to enter the code.

Each vehicle is tested

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser price is the world's first aftermarket immobiliser for CAN bus that can be connected to the existing wiring in your vehicle and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device is able to intercept signals and stop your car from starting normally until you enter a customized code. The system can be turned on and off through your smartphone's app without the need for additional wires.

Standard factory immobilisers on vehicles function by using an electronic transponder in the key that sends an indication to the ECU. If the correct code is transmitted the car will begin, but if a transponder is replaced with one from a different vehicle, the immobiliser cannot recognize it. This makes it possible for the vehicle to start and be stolen. A South African company that is at the forefront of safety systems technology created the Ghost immobiliser. It guards you against key cloning or 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 makes use of buttons on your vehicle, such as the indicator stalk, steering wheel, and the door panels, to create unique PIN codes which must be entered in order to use your vehicle. This is performed without the need for extra hardware such as keys-fobs, and can be as long as 20 presses long. It is also undetectable to diagnostic equipment and does not transmit radio frequency signals so thieves cannot make use of sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing technology to detect that security systems have been installed.

Ghost is harder to remove than car alarms that 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's been taken.

Emergency PIN code override

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

The Ghost immobiliser was designed to combat this, and give you an extra layer of security in order to prevent your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It is created by creating an individual pin code push sequence from your buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, and the center console. This unique PIN is entered alongside your original key fob in order to prevent the engine from getting started. The unique override pin is found on a black card that you will receive after your installation. It is easy to remember since there are no LED indicators.

The device is hidden in the wiring of the vehicle and does not emit radio signals. Therefore, it cannot be detected using diagnostic software that can determine the type of security system you have installed. This makes it a great alternative to an electronic device for tracking.

In contrast to other security systems that have a relay in the engine bay, CANBUS Immobilisers communicate with the vehicle's ECU and BCM via the CAN data bus (brand dependant). This allows them to shut down a vehicle completely, by sending a digital block to the ECU and engine.

It is also possible to connect an analog immobiliser, alarm, or tracker to these systems, but this has to be stated prior to the installation of the device. They are also fully service/valet mode-compatible and a good alternative to a tracker when having your car in for an electrical fault at the dealers.

Service/Valet mode

In recent years, there has been a rise in the number of vehicles being stolen without the owners keys. With the ease of access to key cloning equipment and door lock pick sets, it is now easier than ever for thieves to take your pride and joy. To prevent this from happening, we now offer the Autowatch Ghost immobiliser that prevents your car from being driven despite the fact that your keys were cloned or your car has been stolen.

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

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

This is the very first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that is being designed. It will stop your vehicle from being started or driven in the event that you do not enter a PIN code before entering. If the device is in armed and you attempt to drive off it will display an indication on your dash that will flash on a regular basis for approximately 300m. If you type in your PIN code during this time, it will deactivate the anti-hijack device and your car will continue to operate as normal. If you do not enter your PIN at this time the indication will continue to flash and require a new PIN code for every attempt to start your car.
