Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Installation

Ghost immobilisers are among the most advanced features in vehicle security. They are a breakthrough in the way they protect your car from key-cloning, hacking & even wheel jacking.

The system requires the correct PIN code to start your vehicle. This is done via the buttons of your dashboard or steering wheel.

TASSA Approved

The new TASSA verified Ghost-II CAN immobiliser from Autowatch is a groundbreaking device created to combat recent car crime trends, including key cloning and hacking. This smart system connects directly to the onboard CAN network of your vehicle, preventing it from being started or wwwwa.l.r.u.scv.kd driven if you don't have the correct code. The system is completely undetectable and does not use radio frequencies or an electronic key fob, rather it allows you to create a unique PIN sequence through existing buttons in your vehicle, like the ones on your steering wheel or dashboard and can be changed at any time. The PIN can be up to 20 presses long for maximum security. A secure emergency code is also available.

The system communicates with the vehicle's CAN data network to detect when the PIN has been entered. The system then sends a message to the vehicle which disables the ignition and engine, and shuts down crucial components such as the starter motor 211.45.131.204 and the fuel pump. The system features a "valet mode' which allows you to disable it to prevent valets or staff from driving your car without the right key.

In contrast to traditional immobiliser relays which can be disarmed with readily available professional diagnostic tools, the Ghost device relies on the onboard data network to communicate with the ECU and cannot be altered with. It's a sealed unit, so it is inaccessible to access the circuits, which makes it virtually impossible for thieves to hear the tell-tale clicking sound that traditional immobiliser relays emit.

This technology is not vulnerable to jamming devices used by high-tech thieves. Furthermore, since it operates on the CAN data network, it's not detectable by other diagnostic tools. This makes it an ideal anti-theft solution to fit any modern vehicle.

We'll visit your office or home to complete the installation after you've scheduled it. We'll run through a full demonstration with you. We'll will then provide you with an owner's manual as well as an emergency card and two autowatch ghost immobiliser installation window stickers and an installation certificate.

Insurance Approved

The Ghost is a security device installed aftermarket that protects against the kinds of thieves interested in stealing vehicles. It prevents your engine from starting unless a certain sequence of buttons are pressed. The sequence is only understood by you, and in the event that your vehicle is stolen thieves, they won't be capable of starting it and will likely leave the vehicle in peace to avoid being caught.

The system will only allow your vehicle to start if the correct pin code is entered. The pin code you enter is only available to you & can be changed at any time.

The Ghost is an immobiliser that is able to be added to any vehicle without the requirement for additional key fobs or wiring. It is directly linked to the vehicle's CAN data network, and a PIN code is programmed using the buttons on the dashboard and the steering wheel. This code will stop the vehicle from being started until the correct sequence has been selected first. If the code is misinterpreted it is possible to use secure emergency codes that can be reset using your mobile phone. There is an app that can be used on iOS and Android to eliminate the need to enter pins each time, giving greater security.

Discreet

Contrary to a GPS tracker that only aids in locating your car after it's taken away, an immobiliser system prevents the vehicle from being taken in the first place. This is achieved by preventing the engine from starting until the correct code is received via the key fob, or an app downloaded onto the smartphone. This is the best method to prevent wheel jacking and other thefts since the thief has no choice but to leave your car alone or risk getting arrested.

The ghost immobiliser, a tiny weatherproof device, fits in the wiring harness of your vehicle. It has a connection to the CAN data network, and is hidden so thieves can't detect it or disable it with simple wire cutting. The system also comes with an option for service mode that can be turned on to allow your garage to work on your vehicle without having to know the passcode for it to begin.

After you've had the device attached to your vehicle it will be able to arm and disarm it using your smartphone using its dedicated application.
