Ghost Immobiliser will protect your prized possession from theft. It's discreet and does not require any additional key fobs.

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

Simple PIN Code Change Process

Many homeowners are upgrading their security because of the rise in vehicle theft. There are many kinds of security gadgets that are sold aftermarket that range from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. However there are a few that are equally effective in protecting your car. A tracking system may assist you in locating your vehicle if it's stolen however it cannot prevent the crime. Immobilisers, on the contrary are exactly what they state on the tin - they shut off your car's engine so that it can't be started. The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced options on the market, making it nearly impossible for thieves to take your car.

Utilizing the buttons already in your car The ghost device is able to create an exclusive sequence that has to be entered prior to the engine can start. This can be accomplished by using the window, heater or indicator stalk buttons. There is also a mobile application that can be used as an emergency PIN override, allowing the driver to operate their car without the need to use the button sequence. This option is particularly useful when you need to hand your car over for valet parking or maintenance because the immobiliser will remain activated and not disabled.

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

Small, weatherproof device

The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is a sophisticated security device that shields your car from key cloning and hacking. It also blocks ECU swapping. It is a small, weatherproof device that communicates with the ECU of your vehicle directly over the CAN bus to stop the motor. It can be installed in the vehicle without the need for additional wiring and has been thoroughly tested to ensure it works with all vehicles. It is also resistant to jamming devices that are a common technique used by thieves to bypass existing immobilisers.

The advantage of CAN data over traditional systems is that they operate silently. It can't be detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology and is likewise unreadable by traditional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost does not employ LED indicators but instead utilizes buttons in your vehicle, such as the steering wheel, centre console or doors, to create unique sequences for disarming. The sequence can be extended by 20 or more presses for extra 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 also stops car thieves from adding the key to a new car or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser and start the engine. The engine can only be started if a valid PIN code has been entered. It is able to be operated temporarily in Valet/Service mode (with parameters set such as 30mph speed limit), so you can offer your vehicle to an attendant or valet without entering a code.

Each vehicle is tested

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket immobiliser for CAN bus that connects to your vehicle's existing wiring and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device detects electronic signals to disable your car's system from going through its normal startup routine until you input an individual passcode. The system can be turned on and off using your own smartphone application without the need for additional wires.

Standard factory immobilisers in vehicles work by having a transponder built into the key that sends an indication to the ECU. If the correct code is sent the car will begin however if the transponder is swapped with one from a different vehicle, the immobiliser won't recognize it. This allows the vehicle to be stolen and started. The Ghost immobiliser was developed by a South African company at the top of the line in vehicle security technology. It shields your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and even key theft. The only way that a burglar could steal your vehicle is physically towing it away and even then they wouldn't be able to drive it.

Ghost makes use of the buttons on your car, such as the indicator stalk along with the steering wheel, indicator stalk and door panels to generate an unique, changeable PIN code sequence that must be entered before you can drive. This is done without extra hardware, such as key fobs. It can take up to 20 presses. It is also inaccessible to equipment for diagnostics and does transmit radio frequency signals, so thieves cannot make use of sophisticated RF scanners or code grabbing techniques to determine if a system has been installed.

ghost immobiliser fitting is harder to remove than car alarms, which require disarming using several buttons. This makes it a great supplement to a GPS tracker that can assist in locating your car after it's been stolen.

Emergency PIN code override

You don't have to look far on social media to find stories or videos about cars that have been stolen with the latest technology tools. This includes key-cloning devices and hacking devices that allow them to start your vehicle without the original key fobs.

The Ghost immobiliser was designed to stop this and provide you with an additional layer of security to prevent your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It works by creating an unique pin code push sequence from your buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, and the centre console. This unique PIN has to be entered along with your original key fob to prevent the vehicle from starting. The unique override PIN is on the black card that you will receive following your installation. It's easy to remember because there are no LED indications.

The device is hidden in the wiring of the vehicle and does not emit radio signals. Therefore, it cannot be detected by diagnostic software which can identify what type of security systems you have installed. This makes it an excellent alternative to a tracker.

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 the vehicle completely by sending an electronic block to the ECU and engine.

They can also be linked to an analog alarm immobiliser or tracker. This should be decided prior to installation. They are also service/valet mode compatible and a great alternative to a tracker you are taking your car in for repair at the dealership.

Service/Valet Mode

In recent years there has been an increase in vehicles being stolen with the owners' keys. It's easier than ever before to steal your pride & joy thanks to the availability of key cloning devices and door lock picks. To stop this, we are now offering the Autowatch Ghost immobiliser that prevents your vehicle from being driven even if your keys were cloned or your vehicle has been stolen.

It connects directly to your car's ECU (Engine Control Unit), via the data loop of CAN. It's completely quiet since it doesn't use radio frequencies or keys fobs. This means it isn't detected by diagnostics or other vehicle hacking devices. It also prevents you from introducing the new ECU or key to circumvent the system, because only the PIN number allows the engine to be started.

The device is hidden within your car by using buttons on the steering wheel, centre console and door panels. Before you can begin your car, you must enter a unique and reversible PIN code that can be as long as 20 numbers.

This is the first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser for the market that was created. It will stop your vehicle from being driven or started when you don't enter a PIN code first. If the device is armed and you attempt to drive off it will display an indication on your dash, which will flash continuously for about 300m. If you type in your PIN code during this time, fitting it will disarm the anti-hijack system and your vehicle will continue to drive as normal. If you don't enter your PIN code at this point, the warning will keep flashing & will require another PIN code for every attempt to start your vehicle.
