Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

Ghost Immobiliser will protect your prized property from theft. It is discreet and does not require any additional key fobs.

The device uses existing buttons in your vehicle (steering wheel doors, door panels, and the centre console) to create a unique pin code sequence up to 20 presses long. This allows your vehicle to start.

Simple PIN code Change Process

Many owners are upgrading their security because of the increase in vehicle theft. There are a variety of security gadgets that are sold aftermarket that range from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. They're not all equally effective in protecting your car. While a tracking device can assist in finding your car in the event of theft, it can not stop the crime from happening in the first instance. Immobilisers, in contrast are exactly what they say on the tin - they disable your car's motor so that it isn't able to be started. The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced options on the market, making it almost impossible for thieves to take your vehicle.

The Ghost 2 immobiliser device makes use of the buttons on your car to generate a unique sequence which must be entered to allow the engine to begin. This can be done by using the heater, window or indicator stalk buttons. In addition option, there is a mobile app which acts as an emergency PIN code bypass and allow the driver to operate the car without the button sequence. This is especially useful if you need to surrender your car for valet parking or maintenance because the immobiliser is activated, but not disabled.

The Ghost is an innovative and unique device that works with your vehicle's buttons rather than as a standalone unit. It is not only an effective deterrent for vehicle theft, but it can also be used on any 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 an advanced security system that protects your car from key cloning, hacking & ECU swapping. It's a weatherproof, tiny device that communicates directly with your vehicle's ECU over the CAN data bus, which disables the engine. It can be placed in the vehicle without the need for extra wiring, and has been thoroughly tested to ensure that it works with all vehicles. It also is resistant to jamming devices that are a popular method used by car thieves to circumvent immobilisers.

The benefit of using CAN data is that it runs silently when compared to conventional systems. It isn't detected by sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing technologies and cannot be recognized by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost does not produce LED indicators and instead uses the buttons on your vehicle such as steering wheel or centre console panels to create a unique, programmable disarm sequence. This sequence can be extended by 20 or more presses to provide additional security. The iPhone app allows one, authorized connection, ghost immobiliser Problems with the pairing code unique to the Ghost and the communication between the two is secured.

The Ghost prevents car thieves adding an ignition key replacement or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser. It will only allow the engine to run if the correct PIN code is entered. It can be temporarily operated in Valet/Service mode (with the appropriate parameters, like 30mph speed limit) which means you can give your car to valet or service without having to enter the code.

Each vehicle is tested

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket immobiliser CANbus. It can be connected to the wiring of your vehicle and also to the engine control unit (ECU). The device snoops on electronic signals to disable 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 on or off by using your smartphone app, without the need for additional wires.

Standard factory immobilisers for vehicles function by using a transponder built into the key that transmits an indication to the ECU. If the correct code is sent the car will begin however if the transponder is replaced with one from another vehicle the immobiliser won't recognize it. This makes it possible for the vehicle to be started and stolen. A South African company that is at the forefront of car security systems technology created the Ghost immobiliser. It safeguards your vehicle from hacking, key cloning and even key theft. The only way a thief could take your car is by physically towing it away, and even then they wouldn't be able to drive it.

ghost car immobiliser utilizes the buttons of your car, such as the indicator stalk along with the steering wheel, indicator stalk and door panels to create an individual PIN code that is changeable that must be entered before you can drive. It does this without extra hardware, such as a keyfob. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also unrecognizable to diagnostic equipment and doesn't transmit radio frequency signals, which means thieves are unable to use sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology to discover that security systems have been installed.

In contrast to the physical devices that prevent theft, such as clamps or wheel locks, Ghost is concealed within the vehicle, so it cannot be disabled or removed by thieves. It is even more difficult to get rid of than a car alarm, which requires disarming via the use of a button sequence. This makes it a great addition to an GPS tracking device which can be used to locate your vehicle after it's been stolen.

Emergency PIN code override

You don't need to look too far on social media 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 devices as well as hacking tools that allow them to start the vehicle with the original keys.

Our Ghost immobiliser fights this and provides you with an additional layer of protection to stop your vehicle from being stolen if it is targeted by thieves. It creates a unique pin code by pressing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel and on 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 override pin can be found on a black plastic card that you will receive after your installation. It is easy 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 cannot be detected by modern criminals using diagnostic software that can identify the security system you have installed. This makes it an excellent alternative to a tracking device.

In contrast to other security systems which rely on a relay in the engine bay, these CANBUS immobilisers communicate via CAN databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the car. This allows them to disable the vehicle completely by sending a digital block to the ECU and engine.

It is also possible to connect an analogue immobiliser, alarm or tracker to these systems, but this has to be specified before installing the device. They also work with service/valet modes and is a great alternative to a tracking device when you bring your vehicle to the dealer to address an electrical issue.

Service/Valet mode

In recent years there has been a rise in the number of vehicles being stolen from owners without keys.

It directly communicates with your vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN data circuit. It's completely quiet since it doesn't use radio frequency or a key fob. It isn't detected by diagnostics or any other hacking device. It also prevents you from adding the new ECU or key to bypass the system as only the PIN code allows the engine to be started.

The device is hidden within your vehicle and is accessed by existing buttons on your steering wheel, center console and door panels. Before you can begin your car, you must enter a unique and changeable PIN number that is up to 20 numbers.

This is the first aftermarket immobiliser CAN bus that has been developed that can prevent your car being moved away or even started if a PIN code isn't entered before. If you are driving away with the device arming the indicator will flash on your dashboard that will flash continuously for about 300m. Entering your PIN code will turn off the anti-hijack. Your car will continue to function just as normal. If you do not enter your PIN at this point, the warning will keep flashing & will require a new PIN code every attempt to start your car.
