Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
The well-known Ghost Immobiliser 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 prevents your vehicle from starting.
This device is silent and uses buttons on the steering wheel, center console, and door panels of your vehicle. This allows you to create an individual PIN code of up to 20 characters long that you must enter before the car will start.
Easy to install
It is more crucial than ever to protect your vehicle. With car crime increasing and cloning tools readily available, it's essential to do so. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a discreet and effective aftermarket solution to guard against key-cloning and vehicle theft. The unit is virtually invisible to thieves, and functions by pressing buttons on the steering wheel or the door panels. immobiliser ghost allows customers to create an exclusive disarm sequence that is similar to credit card numbers that must be entered before the vehicle is able to start or leave. This makes the system nearly impossible to detect and is not affected by spoofing or jamming devices as used with other systems on the market.
The installation of the Ghost unit is a highly-specialized process and should only be completed by an approved installer. The unit is firmly integrated into your vehicle's CAN bus network which ensures that it is communicating directly with the ECU. The Ghost can be installed without affecting factory settings, and it is virtually impossible for thieves to bypass the system using signal boosters.
Once the Ghost is fitted with a new and improved disarm sequence is required to be inputted in order to turn on your vehicle. This can be accomplished by pressing the service button on your vehicle 5 times within 2 seconds, while ensuring that it is not being repeatedly pressed for a long period of time. The system will then blink twice to signal that Transport Mode has been activated. This feature is ideal for classic, sports and prestige vehicles that require their security systems to be temporarily disabled during transportation or during servicing.
After Transport Mode is activated, the immobiliser is disabled and cannot be activated by entering your PIN again. This feature is perfect for those who would like to store their vehicle over the winter months, and avoid being taken by thieves or having to pay monthly insurance premiums that increase.
There are no keyfobs, LEDs or other indicators that can help you locate it.
The Ghost immobiliser is a discrete device that guards your joy and pride from thieves who steal cars by utilizing buttons on your steering wheel or dashboard to enter an unobtrusive pin code prior the start of the engine. It can be linked to an app on your phone to arm and disarm remotely. It blocks signal relays, ECU swapping, and key copying. It's simple to install and is able to be fitted in a variety of vehicles. It's also extremely discreet and can be hidden in difficult-to-access places, such as behind the dashboard or within the trim on the steering wheel.
This is a great choice for high-performance vehicles because it can disable your vehicle's ignition in the event that the wrong pin code has been entered. This stops thieves from stealing your pride and happiness. The device can send an alert to a smartphone if the car is left unattended in public. This will give you peace of mind while away from your vehicle.
In contrast to other immobilisers, the Ghost does not require any additional fobs or LED indications and can be concealed easily in a hard-to-reach area inside your vehicle. It works by directly communicating with the vehicle's CAN data network, which makes it highly resistant to detection. It also doesn't emit radio signals, so it's unnoticeable by RF scanners or signal jammers.
It's made to be tamperproof and weatherproof, and can withstand extreme temperatures. It's also impossible to be tampered with by cutting the wires, or dismantling it. Additionally, it doesn't need any circuit cutting to function, so it's undetectable to organized gangs of thiefs who use diagnostics reading devices to detect fitted security systems. It's not affected by diagnostic equipment that examines CAN data for the presence or absence of a security system.
No circuit cuts
Without any LED indicators or key fobs to reveal its location the ghost device is hidden inside your car, beneath the steering wheel or dashboard and uses buttons in your car to generate an unique PIN code sequence that must be entered before the engine can begin. This means that even if the thief does have your keys they can't drive the car away since they do not know the correct PIN code sequence. The device doesn't transmit radio signals, meaning that organized criminal gangs that use diagnostics reading devices won't be able to recognize the device.
This advanced immobiliser is also TASSA approved and can reduce the cost of insurance, particularly for modified vehicles that have been customized by their owners. It also helps prevent key theft and ECU switching, which means that the only method for a criminal to take your pride and joy is to pull it.
The system is completely quiet as it doesn't use buttons that are found on the dashboard or in the factory keys. It communicates with the ECU via the CAN data circuit which is completely silent and does not provide any indication that it's been installed. This means that a thief could not make new key fobs or swap out the ECU to get your car to start. This eliminates any other methods of theft that have been used in recent years, like key cloning, scans using radio frequency, and code taking.
Should you ever forget your PIN code, our engineers 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 maintenance work, MOTs 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 based on speed and time.
No radio signals
The Ghost immobiliser, unlike many other car security systems is not dependent on alarm systems or key fobs to block vehicles from getting started. Instead it communicates with vehicle's ECU and the CAN data circuit to stop the engine from starting. It is a discreet solution, which is not affected by key-cloning techniques or RF scanning that thieves use to get around security devices. It can be combined with tracking devices to increase the security of your vehicle. You will also receive alerts if there is a chance to tamper or steal.
The Autowatch Ghost, a TASSA certified device, is an insurance-approved and provides the best protection against key hacking and cloning. It is controlled through a mobile app and is encrypted to ensure security. It also has a safe emergency PIN override. It's a safe, discreet and cost-effective way to shield your car from theft.
However, the Ghost is not without problems. One of the most frequent issues is that users have difficulty to find the correct disarm sequence. This is due to the fact that the device requires input through buttons already located in your vehicle, like those on the steering wheel or on the centre console. Some people may find it difficult to remember or even miss, especially when the device is being used for the first time. It is recommended to read the manual included with the device and practice the disarming procedure before driving.
Another issue is that some vehicles are experiencing issues with the CAN data connection, which could affect the functionality of the Ghost. This can be caused by defective sensors, or a damaged OBD connector. It is recommended to have the system tested again before using it in the event of any issues with the CAN connection.
Change your PIN code quickly
The ghost is an excellent device that has taken the market by storm but the process of changing pin codes can be a little confusing. The device is pre-programmed by the installer when it's installed but sometimes customers might want to change this for different reasons such as they'd like a different button to disarm the device or they don't want their installer to know or they simply don't like the pin number they have currently. The good news is the switching to a different pin number is extremely simple. Follow the simple instructions below to learn how.
Please note that you will have to turn the ignition on but do not start your car! The process only takes about a minute to be completed. The vehicle will then resume normal operation.
