Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser is a renowned product that safeguards your vehicle against key-cloning hacking and theft. This TASSA confirmed system is undetectable to thieves and prevents the thieves from starting your vehicle.
This silent device uses buttons on your car's steering wheel as well as the door panels and the centre console to let you create a unique and PIN sequence that can be changed up to 20 characters. The code must be entered first before the car is able to start.
Easy to install
It is more important than ever to secure your vehicle. With car crime increasing and cloning tools readily available, it is essential to protect your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a discrete and efficient aftermarket solution to protect against key-cloning and car theft. The device is completely inaccessible to thieves, and functions by pressing buttons on the steering wheel or door panels. This allows customers to create a unique sequence of disarming similar to a credit card that must be entered before the vehicle can be started or driven away. This makes it almost impossible to spot and is not affected by jamming devices or spoofing devices, like other systems.
The installation of the Ghost unit is a highly skilled procedure and should only be carried out by an approved installer. The unit is carefully integrated into your vehicle's network of CAN buses which ensures it can communicate directly to the ECU. This allows the Ghost to be installed without having to alter factory settings and ensures that it can't be hacked by a burglar using signal boosters or other techniques.
After the Ghost is installed, a new and improved disarm sequence must be inputted to start your car. Press the service button 5 times in 2 seconds, but make sure you don't press it for too long. The system will flash twice to show that Transport Mode is active. This feature is ideal for classic, sports and luxury vehicles that require their security system to be temporarily disabled while transportation or during servicing.
Once Transport Mode is activated, the immobiliser is turned off and is not reactivated by entering your PIN code again. This feature is great for those who want to store their vehicles during the winter months to keep theft, or to avoid having to pay higher insurance premiums.
There aren't any keyfobs, LEDs or other indicators to help you find it.
The Ghost immobiliser guards your vehicle from thieves by using buttons located on the dashboard or steering wheel. You can enter a pin code without being noticed before you start the engine. It prevents attacks on signal relays, ECU swapping and key cloning and can be linked to a mobile application to arm or disarm remotely. It's easy to install and can be put in a wide range of vehicles. It's also extremely discreet and can be hidden in difficult-to-access places, such as behind the dashboard, or in the trim of the steering wheel.
This is a great option for high-performance vehicles because it can disable your vehicle's ignition in the event that the incorrect pin code is entered. This stops thieves from stealing your pride and joy. The device will even send an alert to your phone in the event that you've left your car unattended in public, providing you with peace of mind when you're away from your car.
Unlike other immobilisers, the Ghost doesn't require any extra fobs or LED indications, and can be hidden easily in a hard-to-reach place inside your vehicle. immobiliser ghost is extremely resistant to detection since it is directly connected to the CAN data network in your vehicle. It also doesn't emit radio signals, making it unnoticeable by RF scanners or signal jammers.
It's made to be tamperproof and weatherproof, and can stand up to extreme temperatures. It's also not possible to interfere with by cutting wires or dismantling the device. It's also inaccessible to organised gangs of thieves who use diagnostics reading equipment to detect security systems. It is not affected by diagnostic equipment that checks the CAN data for the presence or absence of security systems.
No circuit cuts
The ghost device does not have any LED indicators or key fobs to indicate its location. It is hidden beneath the steering wheel or dashboard of your car and uses buttons to generate an unique PIN sequence that has to be entered to start the engine. The thief cannot drive away the vehicle even having your keys because they do not know the correct code. The device also doesn't transmit radio signals, meaning that organized criminal gangs that use diagnostics reading devices won't be able to recognize the device.
This innovative immobiliser, which is also TASSA-approved, can assist you in reducing your insurance costs. This is especially relevant to vehicles that owners have customised. It also wards off key cloning theft, as well as ECU swapping meaning that the only way a criminal can steal your joy and pride is to tow it away.
The system is completely silent since it does not use the factory keys or dashboard buttons. It communicates with the ECU using the CAN data circuit, which is completely silent and does not provide any indication that it has been installed. This means a thief cannot swap out the ECU or even add new key fobs to allow your car started.
If you ever forget your PIN code, our engineers have provided you with an emergency reset for the device which allows you to enter'service mode'. This will allow the dealer or technician to temporarily start and drive your car which allows them to complete maintenance work, MOTs or valet parking without needing to enter the PIN code once more. After immobiliser ghost has done or you have retrieved the vehicle then enter the PIN code to exit the service mode.
No radio signals
In contrast to other security systems the Ghost immobiliser doesn't use an alarm system or key fobs to prevent vehicles from beginning. It communicates instead with the vehicle's ECU, CAN data circuit and other circuits to block the engine from starting. This makes it a quiet solution that is not affected by key cloning techniques or RF scanning techniques employed by thieves to bypass other security devices. It can be paired with tracking devices to improve the safety of your vehicle. You will also be alerted if there is any attempt to tamper or steal.
The Autowatch Ghost is a TASSA-certified device that is insurance approved and provides superior protection against key hacking copying, and even theft. It is controlled through a mobile app and is encrypted for security. It also has a safe emergency PIN override. It's a discrete effective and economical method to protect your vehicle from theft.
Ghost isn't without issues. One common issue is that users struggle to get into the right disarm sequence. This is because the device requires input via buttons already in your vehicle, like those on the steering wheel or centre console. This can be difficult for users to remember, or they may get it wrong the first time. It is recommended to read the manual included with the device and practice the disarming process prior to driving.
Another issue is that some vehicles have problems with the CAN data connection, which can impact the functionality of the Ghost. This can be caused by defective sensors or a damaged OBD port. It is best to test the system again before you use it in the event that the CAN connection is faulty.
Change PIN code easily
The ghost is a great device and has taken the market by storm, however the process of changing pin codes is a bit hazy. The device is pre-programmed via the installer when it's fitted however there are occasions when people need to change this setting for a variety of reasons like they'd like a different button to disarm the device and they don't want the installer to know, or they don't want to use their current pin number. It's easy to change your pin number. Follow the easy steps below to learn how.
Please note: You must switch on the ignition of your vehicle but do not start the engine! The process only takes just a few seconds to be completed. The vehicle will then resume normal operation.
