Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

Protect your pride & joy from theft by using the Ghost Immobiliser. It's discreet and doesn't require additional key fobs in order to operate.

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

Simple PIN Code Change Process

Many owners are upgrading their security due to the rising number of vehicle thefts. There are a variety of aftermarket security devices available including tracking systems, immobilisers and alarms. Not all of them are equally effective in protecting your vehicle. A tracking device can help you locate your vehicle if it's stolen however it cannot stop the crime. Immobilisers, on the contrary perform exactly as they claim on the tin - they disable your car's motor to prevent it from being started. The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced options available on the market, making it almost impossible for thieves to take your car.

The ghost device makes use of the buttons on your car to create a unique sequence that must be entered to allow the engine to start. This can be done by using the heater, window or indicator stalk buttons. In addition to this it is possible to use an app on mobile that acts as an emergency PIN code override, allowing the driver to operate the car without the button sequence. This is a great solution when you wish to donate your car to valet parking or servicing. The immobiliser will stay in operation.

The Ghost is a truly unique and innovative device which works in conjunction with buttons on your vehicle instead of being a separate device. It is not only an effective deterrent for vehicle theft, but it can also be used on any future vehicles you may own. This makes it a better investment than a conventional wheel lock.

Small, weatherproof device

The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is an advanced security device that shields your pride & joy from key hacking and cloning. It also blocks ECU swapping. It's a weatherproof, tiny device that connects directly to your vehicle's ECU over the CAN data bus to shut down the engine. It can be plugged into the vehicle without additional wiring, and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It also is resistant to jamming devices, which is a common technique used by thieves how to install ghost immobiliser installation immobiliser (click here to read) bypass existing immobilisers.

The advantage of CAN data over conventional systems is that they work silently. It is not able to be detected by sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing technology, nor can it be recognized by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost doesn't produce LED indications and uses the buttons inside your vehicle, such as the steering wheel or centre console panels to create a unique, changeable disarm sequence. You can even create a sequence that is as long as 20 presses to increase security. The iPhone app is limited to one connection, using an individual pairing code for the ghost immobilisers. All communication between the two devices is encrypted.

The Ghost stops car thieves from adding an ignition key that is not in use or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser. It will only allow the engine to run if the correct PIN code is entered. It is able to be operated temporarily in Valet/Service mode (with parameters set such as 30mph speed limit), so you can hand your car to an attendant or valet without having to enter an entry code.

Tested for each vehicle

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket immobiliser for CAN bus that can be connected to the wiring of your vehicle and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device intercepts signals to stop your car from starting up normally until you enter a custom code. The system can be turned off or on via your smartphone's app, without the need for additional wires.

Standard factory immobilisers on vehicles work by having an electronic transponder in the key that transmits an electronic signal to the ECU. If the correct code is transmitted the car will start however if the transponder is replaced by one from another vehicle the immobiliser cannot recognize it. This allows the vehicle to be stolen and then started. The audi rs3 ghost installer immobiliser was created by an South African company at the top of the line in vehicle security technology. It shields you from hacking or key cloning, and even key theft. Only by physically towing your car away can thieves take it away and not be able drive it.

Ghost uses buttons on your vehicle, such as the indicator stalk, steering wheel, and doors, to generate a unique PIN code that needs to be entered to use your car. This is done without additional hardware, like keys fobs. It can take up to 20 presses. It is also inaccessible to diagnostics equipment and does not transmit radio frequency signals, which means thieves are not able to use sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing techniques to detect that security systems have been installed.

Contrary to physical anti-theft devices such as clamps or wheel locks, Ghost is concealed within the vehicle so it can't be disabled or removed by thieves. It is also harder to remove from a car alarm which requires disarming with the use of a button sequence. This makes it an excellent alternative to a GPS tracker that can assist in locating your car after it's been taken.

Override of emergency PIN code

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

Our Ghost immobiliser fights this and provides you with an additional layer of protection to stop your vehicle from being taken in the event of being targeted by thieves. It works by creating an individual pin code push sequence using your existing buttons on the steering wheel, door panel and the centre console. The unique pin code is entered along with your original key fob to prevent the engine from starting. The unique override pin is located on a black card that you will receive after the installation. It is simple to remember because there are no LED indicators.

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

Contrary to other security systems which use a relay in engine bay, these immobilisers CANBUS communicate through CAN databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the vehicle. This enables them to shut down the vehicle completely through a digital block of commands for both the ECU and the engine.

These systems can also be linked to an analog alarm immobiliser or tracker. This should be decided prior to installation. They are also compatible with valet and service modes, and are a great alternative to a tracking device when you bring your vehicle to the dealer for an electrical issue.

Service/Valet Mode

In recent years there has been an increase in vehicles being stolen without the owners keys. It's now more easy than ever to steal your pride and joy with the availability of key cloning tools & door lock picks. To prevent this from happening, we have launched the Autowatch Ghost immobiliser that prevents your vehicle from being driven even if your keys were cloned or your vehicle has been stolen.

It connects directly to your car's ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the data loop called CAN. It's completely silent since it doesn't use radio frequency or a key fob. This means it isn't detected by diagnostics or any other car hacking devices. It also protects you from introducing an ECU or key to circumvent the system, since only the PIN code allows the engine to be started.

The device is hidden inside your car by using buttons on the steering wheel, centre console and door panels. A unique and changeable PIN code sequence of up to 20 digits must be entered prior to being able to start your car.

This is the very first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser that was created. It will stop your vehicle from being started or driven when you don't enter a PIN number first. If you are driving away with the device in motion the indicator will flash on your dashboard that will flash continuously for around 300m. Entering your PIN code will turn off the anti-hijack. Your car will continue to function just as normal. If you don't enter your PIN code at this point, the indicator will continue to flash and will require a new PIN code every attempt to start your vehicle.
