Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
The renowned Ghost Immobiliser provides your vehicle with a high level of protection against key cloning as well as theft, hacking and hacking. This TASSA-certified system is unnoticeable by thieves and stops your vehicle from starting.
This device is silent and uses buttons on your car's steering wheel as well as the door panels and the centre console to allow you to create a unique, changeable PIN code sequence up to 20 characters. The code must be entered first before the car can start.
Easy to install
With car theft increasing and cloning tools readily available, it is more essential than ever to safeguard your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a secure and discreet aftermarket solution to protect against key-cloning and car theft. The unit is virtually undetectable to thieves and operates via buttons that are already present in the steering wheel or door panels, as well as the central console. This allows customers to make a unique disarm sequence similar to that of credit card numbers that must be entered before the vehicle can start or leave. This makes it nearly impossible to spot and is not affected by jamming devices or spoofing devices as with other systems.
The installation of the Ghost unit is a highly-specialized process and should only be carried out by an authorized installer. The unit is carefully integrated into the vehicle's CAN bus system, ensuring it communicates directly to the ECU. This allows the Ghost to be installed without having to alter the factory settings and guarantees that it cannot be bypassed by a burglar using signal boosters or other methods.
After the Ghost has been installed it is necessary to enter a new and improved disarming sequence in order to start your vehicle. Press the service button 5 times in two seconds, but be sure you don't hold it down for too long. The system will flash twice to show that Transport Mode is active. This feature is perfect for classic, sports & prestige vehicles that need to have their security system temporarily disabled while transporting or servicing.
After Transport Mode is activated, the immobiliser will be disabled and cannot be reactivated by entering your PIN again. This feature is perfect for those who want to store their cars during the winter months to protect theft, or to avoid having to pay higher insurance rates.
There are no keyfobs or LEDs or other indicators that can help you locate it.
The Ghost immobiliser shields your vehicle from theft by using buttons located on the dashboard or steering wheel. You can enter a pin code without being noticed prior to starting the engine. It wards off signal relay attacks, ECU swapping and key cloning. It also connects to a phone application that allows remote arming and disarming. It's simple to install and can be incorporated to a variety of vehicles. It's also extremely stealthy, and can be hidden in a hard-to reach location such as behind the dashboard or within the trim of the steering wheel.
This is a great choice for vehicles with high performance since it will disable your vehicle's ignition if incorrect pin code is entered. This stops thieves from stealing your pride and joy. The device will notify a smartphone if the car is left unattended while in public. This will give you peace of mind when you are away from your car.
In contrast to other immobilisers, the Ghost does not require additional fobs or LEDs and can be concealed easily in a hard-to-reach place inside your vehicle. It works by directly communicating with the vehicle's CAN data network, which makes it highly resistant to detection. It does not emit radio signals, so it is not detected by RF scanners or signal jammers.
It is designed to be tamper-proof and weatherproof. It also has the ability to stand up to extreme temperatures. It's also impossible to tamper with by cutting the wires or dismantling the device. Furthermore, it doesn't require any circuit cutting to function, which means it's inaccessible to organized gangs of thieves that utilize diagnostics devices to detect the security systems fitted to. It's also not affected by professional auto diagnostics equipment that checks the CAN data system for the presence of security devices.
No circuit cuts
The ghost device doesn't include any LED indicators or key fobs that would identify its place of operation. It is hidden under the steering wheel, dashboard or dashboard of your vehicle and uses buttons to generate an unique PIN sequence that has to be entered in order to start the engine. This means that even if a person who stole your keys does have them, they cannot drive the vehicle away as they would not be aware of the correct PIN sequence. The device doesn't transmit radio signals, and therefore organized gangs of thieves using diagnostics reading tools will be in a position to not be able to recognize it.
This innovative immobiliser, which is also TASSA-approved, will aid in reducing your insurance costs. This is especially relevant to vehicles that owners have customised. It also prevents key cloning theft as well as ECU swapping meaning that the only way the thieves can take your joy and pride is to remove it.
The system is completely silent as it does not use the buttons that are found on the dashboard or in the factory keys. It communicates with the ECU using the CAN data circuit, which is completely silent and does not give any indication that it was installed. This means that a burglar cannot replace the ECU or add new key fobs in order to get your car started.
If you have forgotten your PIN code, our engineers have provided you with a reset emergency for the device that lets you enter "service mode". This allows the technician or dealer to temporarily start and drive your vehicle enabling them to carry out maintenance work, MOTs or valet parking without entering the PIN code again. Once the technician has finished their work or you have removed your vehicle, simply enter the PIN code and the device will exit service mode based on speed and time.
No radio signals
Unlike many other car security systems the Ghost immobiliser does not use an alarm system or key fobs to stop vehicles from getting started. Instead, it communicates with the vehicle's ECU and CAN data circuit to prevent the engine from starting. It is a discreet solution that isn't affected by key-cloning methods or RF scanning used by thieves to bypass security devices. It can also be used with tracking systems to enhance the security of your vehicle. It will also alert you to any attempted theft or tampering.
