Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser is a renowned product that safeguards your vehicle from key-cloning hacking and theft. This TASSA-verified system is undetectable by thieves and stops your vehicle from being started.
This silent device makes use of buttons located on the steering wheel, centre console, and on the door panels of your vehicle. It allows you to create an individual PIN code of up to 20 characters long that must be entered before the car will 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 provides a discrete, effective and aftermarket solution to guard against key-cloning and vehicle theft. It is virtually undetectable by thieves and operates through buttons on the steering wheel or door panels, as well as the central console. This allows customers to make a unique disarm sequence similar to credit card numbers that must be completed before the vehicle can start or be driven away. This makes it nearly impossible to identify, and is not affected by blocking devices or spoofing devices, like other systems.
The installation of the Ghost unit is a highly skilled process and should only be completed by an authorized installer. The unit is carefully integrated into the CAN bus system of your vehicle and is able to communicate 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 criminal using signal boosters or other techniques.
After the Ghost is installed after installation, you must enter a new and improved disarming sequence in order to activate your vehicle. Press the service button 5 times in 2 seconds, but make sure that you don't hold it for too long. The system will flash twice to indicate that Transport Mode is active. This feature is ideal for classic, sports & high-end vehicles that require to have their security system temporarily disabled during transport or maintenance.
After Transport Mode is activated the immobiliser will be removed and you will not be able to activate it again by entering the PIN code. This feature is perfect for those who want to store their cars during the winter to prevent theft, or to avoid paying higher insurance rates.
There aren't any keyfobs, LEDs or other indicators to assist you in finding it.
The Ghost immobiliser shields your vehicle from thieves by using buttons located on the dashboard or steering wheel. You can enter a pin number without being noticed before starting the engine. It protects against signal relay attacks, ECU swapping and key cloning and can be linked to a phone application to arm or disarm remotely. It's simple to install and can be integrated into a variety 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 vehicles with high performance because it can disable your vehicle's ignition if incorrect pin code is entered. This prevents thieves from driving away with your pride and joy. The device will notify smartphones if the vehicle is left unattended when in public. This will give you peace of mind while away from your car.
The Ghost is unique to other immobilisers in that it doesn't require additional fobs or LED indicators. It can also be easily hidden in a hard-to-find area of your vehicle. It is extremely resistant to detection because it is directly connected to the CAN data network in your vehicle. It doesn't emit radio signals, making it undetectable by RF scanners or signal jammers.
It's designed to be tamper proof and weatherproof, and is able to stand up to extreme temperatures. It's also not possible to interfere with by cutting wires or dismantling the device. Moreover, it doesn't require any circuit cutting to function, and is therefore inaccessible to organised thief gangs that use diagnostics reading devices to detect the security systems fitted to. It's also not affected by the professional auto diagnostics equipment which checks the CAN data system for the presence of security devices.
No circuit cuts
Without LEDs or key fobs to give away its location, the ghost device is hidden in your car, beneath the dashboard or on the steering wheel and makes use of buttons in your car to generate an unique PIN code sequence which must be entered before the engine can begin. The thief cannot drive away the vehicle even if they have your keys since they don't know the correct code. The device does not transmit any radio signals, which means that organised criminal gangs that use diagnostics reading devices will not be able to detect the device.
This advanced immobiliser is TASSA approved and could help lower your insurance premiums, especially for modified vehicles that have been customised by their owners. It also prevents key cloning theft as well as ECU swapping, which means that the only way for a thief can steal 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 via the CAN data circuit which is completely silent and doesn't give any indication that it's been installed. This means that a thief could not install new key fobs or swap out the ECU in order to cause your vehicle to start and therefore negates any other theft methods employed in recent years such as key cloning RF scanning, and code grabbing.
If you have forgotten your PIN code our engineers have provided you with an emergency reset device that lets you enter "service mode". This allows the technician or dealer to temporarily start and drive your vehicle which allows them to complete maintenance work, MOTs or valet parking without having to enter the PIN code once more. When the technician is finished or you have collected the vehicle and returned it to the dealer, enter the PIN to exit the service mode.
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. It communicates with the vehicle's ECU, the CAN data circuit, and other circuits to block the engine from starting. It's a quiet solution, which is not affected by key-cloning techniques or radio frequency scanning techniques used by thieves to bypass security devices. It can also be paired with tracking systems to increase the security of your vehicle. It will also warn you of any attempted tampering or theft.
The Autowatch Ghost is a TASSA-certified device that is insurance-approved and provides superior protection against key hacking the cloning process, and even theft. It is controlled via a mobile app and is encrypted to ensure security. It also has a secure emergency PIN code override. It's a quiet efficient and cost-effective way to protect your vehicle from theft.
Ghost is not without problems. One common issue is that people struggle to get into the right disarm sequence. This is due to the fact that the device requires input via buttons that are already present in your vehicle, for example those on the steering wheel or centre console. Users might find this difficult to remember or make a mistake especially when the device is being first used. It is recommended to read the instruction manual that comes 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 either due to malfunctioning sensors or an abrasive OBD connector. It is best to check the system before using it in the event that the CAN connection is faulty.
Easy to change PIN code
The Ghost is an excellent product that has been a hit on the market. However changing the pin code can be confusing. cost of ghost immobiliser is preprogrammed by the installer at the time of installation, but users may wish to alter it for various reasons. For instance, they might prefer an alternative button that deactivates the device or not want their installer to know. It is also possible that they not like the pin code they currently have. It's easy to change your pin number. Follow the easy steps below to learn how.
Note: You will need to turn on the ignition in your vehicle but do not turn on the engine! This process only takes several minutes. The vehicle will then return to normal operation.
