ghost immobilisers provides your vehicle with a high level of protection against key cloning, hacking and theft. This TASSA-certified system is not detected by thieves and blocks your vehicle from starting.
This device is silent and uses buttons located on the steering wheel, centre console, and door panels of your vehicle. It allows you to create an individual PIN code of up to 20 characters that must be entered before the car will start.
Easy to install
It is more crucial than ever to secure your vehicle. With car thefts increasing and cloning devices easily available, it's vital to do so. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser provides a discreet, effective and aftermarket solution to guard against key-cloning and vehicle theft. It is almost undetectable to thieves and works through existing buttons in the steering wheel or door panels, as well as the central console. This enables customers to create a unique disarming sequence similar to the credit card which must be entered before the vehicle is able to be started or driven away. This makes the system almost impossible to identify and is unaffected by spoofing or jamming devices that are used in other systems on the market.
Installation of the Ghost unit requires a highly skilled installer. The unit is carefully incorporated into the CAN bus system of your vehicle which ensures that it is communicating directly with the ECU. This allows the Ghost to be installed without changing the factory settings, and also ensures that it can't be hacked by a criminal using signal boosters or other techniques.
After the Ghost is fitted the new and improved disarm sequence must be entered to start your car. Press the service button 5 times in a matter of 2 seconds, but ensure 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 and prestige vehicles that require their security system to be temporarily disabled while service or transport.
Once the Transport Mode is activated your immobiliser will become disabled and you are unable to activate it again by entering the PIN code. This feature is perfect for those who would like to store their vehicle over the winter months, thus preventing it from being stolen by thieves or having to pay monthly insurance premium increases.
There aren't any keyfobs, LEDs, or other indicators to assist you in finding it.
The Ghost immobiliser is a discreet device that protects your joy and pride from thieves who steal cars by using buttons on the dashboard or steering wheel to input an unobtrusive pin code prior the start of the engine. It protects against attacks using signal relays, ECU swapping and key cloning. It also connects to a phone app to arm/disarm remotely. It is easy to install and can be installed in a wide range of vehicles. It's also extremely discreet and can be concealed in places that are difficult to reach, such as behind the dashboard or within the trim on the steering wheel.
It's a great option for cars with high performance because it will disable the ignition of the vehicle when the wrong pin code is entered, thus preventing thieves from driving off with your joy and pride. The device will even send an alert to your smartphone if you've left the car without a key in public areas, providing you with peace of mind when you're away from your car.
In contrast to other immobilisers, the Ghost does not require additional fobs or LEDs, and can be hidden easily in a difficult-to-find area within your vehicle. It is highly resistant to detection because it directly communicates with the CAN data network in your vehicle. It does not emit radio signals, so it is undetectable by RF scanners or signal jammers.
ghost immobilisers 's designed to be tamper proof and weatherproof, and is able to endure extreme temperatures. It's also impossible to tamper with by cutting the wires or dismantling the unit. It is also undetectable by organised gangs of thieves who utilize diagnostics-reading equipment to detect security systems. It's also not affected by professional auto diagnostics equipment that checks the CAN data system for the presence of an alarm device.
No circuit cuts
Without any LED indicators or key fobs to give away its location, the ghost device is hidden within your car, under the steering wheel or dashboard and utilizes buttons inside your car to create an unique PIN code sequence which must be entered before the engine can begin. The criminal cannot leave the vehicle even when they have keys to your car because they don't know the correct code. The device does not transmit radio signals, meaning that organized criminal gangs that use diagnostics reading devices won't be able to detect the device.
This advanced immobiliser, that is also TASSA-approved, will assist you in reducing the cost of insurance. This is particularly applicable to modified vehicles whose owners have customised. It also prevents key theft and ECU switching, meaning that the only way for a thief to steal your pride and happiness is to tow it away.
Since the system doesn't make use of the factory key fobs or dashboard buttons, it is a completely silent device that communicates with your ECU through the CAN data circuit which operates in complete silence and gives no indication that it's fitted. This means that a burglar will not be able to add new key fobs or even replace the ECU in order to cause your vehicle to start, which negates any other theft methods used in recent years such as key cloning, scans using radio frequency and code taking.
If you forget your PIN code our engineers will have provided you with an emergency reset option for the device, which allows you to enter'service mode'. This allows an expert or dealer to temporarily drive and start your vehicle which allows them to carry out MOTs, maintenance work, or valet parking. When the technician is finished their job or you've removed your vehicle, simply enter the PIN code and the device will be out of service mode dependent on speed and duration.
No radio signals
The Ghost immobiliser, in contrast to other car security systems, does not rely on an alarm system or key fobs to block vehicles from beginning. Instead, it communicates with the vehicle's ECU and the CAN data circuit to stop the engine from starting. This makes it a discrete solution that is not affected by key cloning or radio frequency scanning techniques used by thieves to bypass other security devices. It can also be integrated with tracking systems to increase the security of your vehicle. It can also alert you to any attempted theft or tampering.
The Autowatch Ghost is a TASSA-certified device that is approved by insurance and offers superior protection against key hacking cloning, and even stealing. It makes use of a mobile application to control the device. It is secured to ensure security. It also has a safe emergency PIN override. It's a quiet efficient and cost-effective way to protect your vehicle from theft.
Ghost is not without problems. Many users have difficulty entering the correct disarming sequence. This is due to the fact that the device requires input via buttons already located in your vehicle, like those on the steering wheel or center console. This isn't easy for drivers to remember, or they could make a mistake the first time around. It is recommended to read the manual included with the device to learn this, and to practice the process of disarming prior to driving the vehicle.
Another problem is that certain cars have issues with CAN data connections, which could affect Ghost's functionality. This can be caused due to malfunctioning sensors or damaged OBD connector. It is best to check the system before using it in the event that the CAN connection is faulty.
It is simple to change the PIN code
The Ghost is a fantastic product that has enjoyed a great reception on the market. However the process of changing the pin code can be a bit confusing. The device is pre-programmed via the installer when it's fitted however there are occasions when people want to change this for different reasons such as: they would prefer to use a different button to deactivate the device or they don't want their installer to know or they just simply don't like their current pin number. It's easy to change your pin number. Follow these easy steps to learn how.
Be aware that you will need to turn off the ignition but DO NOT start your car! This process only takes a few moments. The vehicle will then return to normal operation.
