Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

Ghost Immobiliser can safeguard your prized item from theft. This system is discrete and does not require any additional key fobs.

The device uses buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels, door panels and centre console) to generate a unique pin code sequence that can be altered up to 20 times. This will then allow the vehicle to start.

Simple PIN code Change Process

Many owners are upgrading their security due to the increase in vehicle theft. There are a myriad of security products that are available from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. They're not all equally effective in protecting your vehicle. While a tracking system may assist you in locating your car in the case of theft, it can not prevent the crime from happening in the first place. An immobiliser, on other hand does exactly what it says on the label: it shuts off the engine of your car to prevent it from being started. The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced options on the market, making it nearly impossible for thieves to steal your vehicle.

By using the buttons that are already present in your car The ghost device generates an unique sequence that must be entered prior to the engine can start. This can be done using the indicator stalk windows or heater buttons. There is also a mobile app that can be used as an emergency PIN override, allowing the driver to operate their vehicle without having to use the button sequence. This is especially beneficial if you have to surrender your car for valet parking or servicing, as the immobiliser will remain activated, but not disabled.

The Ghost is an unique and innovative device that operates with the buttons on your vehicle rather than as a separate unit. This means that it is not only a highly effective protection against theft of your vehicle, but it can also be transferred onto any other vehicles you may own, making it much more of an investment than traditional steering wheel locks.

Small, weatherproof device

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is an advanced security system that protects your car from key cloning, hacking & ECU swapping. It's a weatherproof, tiny device that connects directly to your vehicle's ECU over the CAN data bus to disable the engine. It can be installed in the vehicle without wiring, and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It is also resistant against jamming devices that are a popular technique used by thieves to bypass immobilisers.

The benefit of CAN data over conventional systems is that they operate in a silent manner. It's not detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technologies and is likewise unreadable by traditional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost immobiliser for sale does not use LED indicators, but instead uses buttons in your vehicle, like the steering wheel, centre console, or door panels, to create a a unique disarming sequence. You can even create a sequence that is as long as 20 presses to increase security. The iPhone app only allows one connection, and comes with a unique pairing code for the ghost immobiliser cost. All communication between the two devices is protected.

The Ghost also prevents thieves from stealing an additional key or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser to start the engine. The engine will only run when a valid PIN code is entered. It is also possible to put it in valet/service mode to allow for temporary operation (with set parameters such as 30mph speed limit) so that you can hand your car over to a valet service to be serviced without needing to enter a pin code.

Each vehicle is tested

The Autowatch Ghost is the world's first aftermarket immobiliser for CAN bus that is able to be connected to your vehicle's existing wiring and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device intercepts electronic signals to disable your car's system from going through its normal initialization process until you enter a custom passcode. The system can be turned on and off using your own smartphone application without the need for wires.

The standard factory immobilisers work by using a transponder, which is built into the key. It transmits a message to the ECU. If the correct code is sent the car will begin however if the transponder is replaced with one from a different vehicle, the immobiliser cannot recognize it. This enables the vehicle to be started and stolen. The Ghost immobiliser has been developed by a South African company at the forefront of vehicle security systems technology. It shields your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and even key theft. The only way thieves could steal your car is by physically towing it away and even then they would not be capable of driving it.

Ghost makes use of buttons in your vehicle, including the indicator stalk, the steering wheel, and doors, to generate an individual PIN code which must be entered in order to use your vehicle. This is performed without the need for additional hardware, such as a key-fob and can last up to 20 presses long. It is also unrecognizable to diagnostics equipment and doesn't transmit radio frequency signals so thieves cannot use sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing technology to detect that a security system has been installed.

Ghost is more difficult to remove than car alarms that require disarming with a series of buttons. This makes it a perfect alternative to a GPS tracker which helps locate your car after it has been taken.

Override of emergency PIN code

You do not have to look far on social media to find stories or videos of vehicles that have been stolen using the latest technology tools. This includes key-cloning devices and hacking tools that allow them to start the car without your original keys.

The Ghost immobiliser has been designed to combat this and offer an extra layer of security in order to protect your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It generates a unique pin code by pushing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel and the centre console. The unique pin code must be entered along with your original key fob to prevent the vehicle from beginning. The unique override pin is on the black card you will receive following installation and is easy to remember since there aren't any LEDs.

The device is hidden within the wiring of the vehicle and does not emit radio signals. Therefore, it cannot be detected using diagnostic software which can identify the security system you have installed. This makes it an excellent alternative to a tracking device.

Contrary to most security systems that have a relay in the engine bay, CANBUS Immobilisers communicate with the vehicle's ECU and BCM via CAN data bus (brand dependant). This enables them to shut down the vehicle completely by sending an electronic block of commands to both the ECU and the engine.

It is also possible to connect an analogue immobiliser, alarm or tracker with these systems, but this has to be stated prior to the installation of the device. They are also fully service/valet mode-compatible and a great alternative to a tracker you have your car checked for an electrical fault at the dealership.
