Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
The renowned Ghost Immobiliser provides your vehicle with the most advanced security against key cloning hacking, theft and hacking. This TASSA-certified system is unnoticeable by thieves and stops your vehicle from being started.
This silent device uses buttons on your car's steering wheel, door panels and the centre console to let you create a unique, PIN sequence that can be changed up to 20 characters that must be entered first before the car is able to start.
Easy to install
With car theft increasing and cloning equipment readily available it is more essential than ever to safeguard your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser provides a discrete, effective and aftermarket solution to guard against key-cloning and car theft. The device is almost indestructible to thieves, and functions via 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 a car can be driven or started away. This makes the system virtually impossible to identify and is unaffected by jamming or spoofing devices like those used by other systems available.
Installation of the Ghost unit requires a highly skilled installer. The unit is carefully integrated into the CAN bus network of your vehicle, ensuring that it communicates directly with the ECU. This allows the Ghost to be installed without having to alter the factory settings, and also ensures that it is not hacked by a burglar using signal boosters or other techniques.
Once the Ghost is fitted with a new and improved sequence to disarm must be entered to start your vehicle. This can be done by pressing the service button in your vehicle 5 times in 2 seconds, while ensuring that it is not being pressed for an extended period of time. 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 systems to be temporarily disabled during transportation or during servicing.
After Transport Mode is activated your immobiliser will become disabled and you cannot reactivate it by entering the PIN code. This feature is great for those who wish to store their vehicle during the winter months, thus preventing it from being taken by thieves or having to deal with monthly increases in insurance premiums.
No LED indicators or key-fobs to indicate its location
The Ghost immobiliser shields your vehicle from theft by pressing buttons on the dashboard or on the steering wheel. You can enter a pin number without being noticed before starting the engine. It can be linked with an application on your phone to arm or disarm remotely. It also prevents signal relay, ECU swapping, and key copying. this guy to install and can be fitted to a variety of vehicles. It is also very stealthy and can be hidden in places that are difficult to reach, such as behind the dashboard, or in the trim on the steering wheel.
This is a great option for vehicles with high performance because it can shut off your vehicle's ignition if wrong pin code has been entered. This prevents thieves from driving away with your pride and joy. The device will even send an alert to your phone when you've left the vehicle unattended in public areas, providing you with peace of mind while you're away from your car.
The Ghost is unlike other immobilisers because it doesn't require additional fobs or LED indicators. It is also able to be concealed in an area that is difficult to reach your vehicle. It works by directly communicating with the vehicle's CAN data network, which makes it extremely resistant to detection. It doesn't emit radio signals, so it's undetectable by RF scanners or signal jammers.
It's made to be tamperproof and weatherproof, and is able to endure extreme temperatures. It's also impossible to be tampered with by cutting the wires or removing it. Furthermore, it doesn't require any cuts in the circuit to function, and is therefore inaccessible to organized gangs of thieves that utilize diagnostics reading devices to identify the security systems fitted to. It is not affected by diagnostic equipment that examines the CAN data to determine whether there is or absence of security systems.
No circuit cuts
The device is not have any LED indicators or key fobs that would indicate its whereabouts. It is hidden beneath the steering wheel, dashboard or dashboard of your car and makes use of buttons to create an unique PIN sequence that must be entered to turn on the engine. This means that even if the person who stole your keys does have them, they are unable to drive the vehicle away because they wouldn't be aware of the correct PIN sequence. The device cannot transmit radio signals, and therefore organised gangs of thieves using diagnostics reading tools will be in a position to not be able to recognize it.
This advanced immobiliser is TASSA approved and could help lower the cost of insurance, particularly for modified vehicles that have been customised by their owners. It also helps prevent key theft and ECU switching, meaning that the only possible way for a thief to take your pride and happiness is to tow it away.
Since the system doesn't utilize the key fobs that are supplied by the factory or the dashboard buttons, it is completely silent and communicates with your ECU via the CAN data circuit, which operates completely silently and does not display any indication that it's fitted. This means that thieves cannot replace the ECU or install new key fobs to allow your car started.
If you have forgotten your PIN code, our engineers have provided an emergency reset device that allows you to enter "service mode". This allows the dealer or technician to temporarily start and drive your car so that they can carry out maintenance work, MOTs or valet parking without having to enter the PIN code again. After the technician has done or you have retrieved the vehicle and returned it to the dealer, enter the PIN to exit service mode.
No radio signals
In contrast to other security systems the Ghost immobiliser doesn't use an alarm system or key fobs to block vehicles from starting. Instead it communicates with the vehicle's ECU and CAN data circuit to prevent the engine from starting. This makes it a quiet solution that isn't affected by key cloning or RF scanning techniques used by thieves to bypass other security devices. It can also be paired with tracking systems to increase the security of your vehicle. It will also alert you to any attempted theft or tampering.
The Autowatch Ghost, a TASSA certified device, is affixed to insurance, and offers the best protection against key hacking and cloning.

Another issue is that certain vehicles are experiencing issues with the CAN data connection, which can impact the functionality of the Ghost. This can be caused by malfunctioning sensors or an damaged OBD port. It is recommended to test the system before attempting to use it in the event of any issues with the CAN connection.
Change the PIN code with ease
The Ghost is a fantastic device that has taken the market by storm however the pin code changing process can be a bit confusing. The device is programmed by the installer when it's installed however, there are times when customers may prefer to change their pin code due to a variety of reasons, such as they'd like an alternative button to disable the device and they don't want the installer to know, or they just simply don't like their current pin number. The good news is that the switch to a new pin number is very simple. Follow these easy steps to find out how.
