Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser

Ghost Immobiliser is a renowned product that protects your vehicle against key-cloning hacking and theft. This TASSA-verified system is undetectable by thieves and prevents your vehicle from being started.

This silent device makes use of buttons that are located on the steering wheel, center console, and on the door panels of your vehicle to allow you to create a unique PIN code up to 20 characters that you must enter before the car can start.

Easy to install

It is more crucial than ever to secure your vehicle. With car thefts increasing and cloning tools easily available, it's vital to protect your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser provides a secure, efficient and affordable solution to protect against key cloning and car theft. It is virtually undetectable by thieves and operates via existing buttons in the steering wheel and door panels as well as the centre console. This allows customers to create a unique sequence of disarming like a credit card that must be entered before the vehicle can be started or driven away. This makes it nearly impossible to detect, and is not affected by jamming devices or spoofing devices as with other systems.

The installation of the Ghost unit is a highly skilled procedure that must only be done by an approved installer. The unit is carefully incorporated into your vehicle's network of CAN buses, ensuring it communicates directly to the ECU. This allows the ghost autowatch immobiliser (click here!) to be installed without changing the factory settings and guarantees that it is not hacked by a burglar using signal boosters or other techniques.

After the ghost immobiliser and tracker is installed it is necessary to input a new and improved disarming sequence in order to start your vehicle. Press the service button five 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 or prestige vehicles that require their security system to be temporarily disabled while transport or servicing.

Once the Transport Mode is activated the immobiliser will be disabled and you are unable to reactivate it by entering the PIN code. This feature is great for those who would like to store their vehicles over the winter months to protect them from being stolen or to avoid paying higher insurance rates.

There are no keyfobs, LEDs or other indicators to help you locate it.

The Ghost immobiliser guards your vehicle from thieves pressing buttons on the steering wheel or dashboard. You can enter a pin code without being noticed before starting the engine. It can be linked to an app on your phone to arm and disarm remotely. It blocks signal relays, ECU swapping, and key copying. It's simple to install and can be fitted to a variety of vehicles. It's also incredibly stealthy, and can be hidden in a hard-to reach location such as behind the dashboard or within the steering wheel trim.

It's a great option for high-performance cars because it will disable the ignition of the vehicle when the wrong pin code is entered, which will stop thieves from stealing your joy and pride. The device can even send an alert to your mobile in the event that you've left your car unattended in public areas, providing you with peace of mind when you're away from your vehicle.

The Ghost is unlike other immobilisers in that it doesn't require additional fobs or LED indicators. It is also able to be concealed in a hard-to-find area of your vehicle. It is highly resistant to detection because it is directly connected to the CAN data network of your vehicle. It doesn't emit radio signals so it is undetectable by RF scanners or signal jammers.

It is designed to be tamper-proof and weatherproof. It is also able to stand up to extreme temperatures. It is also impossible to be tampered with by cutting the wires, or by removing it. Furthermore, it doesn't require any circuit cuts to work which means it's inaccessible to organized gangs of thieves that utilize diagnostics devices to detect the security systems fitted to. It's also not affected by professional auto diagnostics equipment which checks the CAN data system for the presence of a security device.

No circuit cuts

The ghost device does not have any LED indicators or key fobs that would indicate its whereabouts. It is hidden beneath the steering wheel or dashboard of your car and makes use of buttons to create a unique PIN sequence that has to be entered in order to start the engine. This means that even if the person who stole your keys does have them, they can't drive the car away because they wouldn't know the correct PIN code sequence. The device does not transmit radio signals, which means that organised thief gangs using diagnostics reading devices won't be able to recognize the device.

This innovative immobiliser, which what is ghost immobiliser also TASSA-approved, will aid in reducing the cost of insurance. This is especially applicable to modified vehicles that their owners have customised. It also stops key cloning theft, as well as ECU swapping. This means that the only way for a thief can steal your joy and pride is to take it away.

Since the system doesn't use the factory key fobs or the dashboard buttons it is a completely silent device and communicates with your ECU via the CAN data circuit which operates completely silently and gives no indication that it's fitted. This means a thief can't replace the ECU or add new key fobs to allow your car running.

If you forget your PIN code our engineers will have provided you with an emergency reset option for the device, which allows you to enter 'service mode'. This will allow the technician or dealer to temporarily start and drive your vehicle which allows them to complete maintenance work, MOTs or valet parking without entering the PIN code again. Once the technician is done or you have collected the vehicle and returned it to the dealer, enter the PIN to exit the service mode.

No radio signals

The Ghost immobiliser, in contrast to other security systems for cars does not rely on alarm systems or keyfobs to prevent vehicles from beginning. Instead, it communicates with the vehicle's ECU and CAN data circuits to prevent the engine from starting. This makes it a discrete solution that isn't affected by key cloning or RF scanning techniques used by thieves to bypass other security devices. It can be used in conjunction with tracking devices to increase the security of your vehicle. You will also be alerted if there is any attempt to steal or alter the security of your vehicle.

The Autowatch Ghost is a TASSA-certified device that is insurance approved and provides a superior level of security against key hacking, the cloning process, and even theft. It uses a mobile application to control the device and is encrypted to protect. It comes with a secure emergency PIN override. It is a discreet, effective and economical way to safeguard your vehicle from theft.

Ghost isn't without its problems. Many users have difficulty entering the correct disarming sequence. This is because the device requires input via buttons already in your vehicle, such as those on the steering wheel or on the centre console. It can be difficult for users to remember or even miss especially when the device is being first used. It is recommended to study the manual included with the device to understand this and practise the process of disarming prior to driving the vehicle.

Another problem is that certain cars have issues with CAN data connections, which can affect Ghost's functionality. This could be due to defective sensors or a damaged OBD port. It is best to test the system again before using it in the event that the CAN connector is faulty.

It is simple to change the PIN code

The Ghost is a great product that has enjoyed a great reception on the market. However, the process of changing the pin code can be confusing. The device is preprogrammed by installer at the time of installation, however users may wish to alter it for various reasons. For example they may prefer a different button that disarms the device or not want their installer to be aware. It is also possible that they dislike their current pin code. It's simple to change your pin number. Follow the easy steps below to find out how.

Be aware that you will have to turn off the ignition but DO NOT start your car immobiliser ghost! This process takes only just a few minutes. The vehicle will then return to normal operation.
