Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser is a renowned product that safeguards your vehicle against key-cloning hacking and theft. This TASSA certified system is inaccessible to thieves and prevents them from starting your vehicle.
This device is silent and uses buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console, and on the door panels of your vehicle. It allows you to create an individual PIN code that is up to 20 characters that needs to be entered prior to the car will start.
Easy to install
It is more important than ever that you protect your vehicle. With car crime increasing and cloning devices readily available, it's essential to protect your vehicle. ghost immobiliser provides a discrete, effective and aftermarket solution to guard against key-cloning and car theft. The device is virtually undetectable by thieves and operates via buttons on the steering wheel and door panels as well as the centre console. This enables customers to create a unique sequence of disarming similar to the credit card which must be entered before a vehicle is able to be started or driven away. This makes it nearly impossible to detect, and is not affected by blocking devices or spoofing devices, like other systems.
The installation of the Ghost unit is a highly specialised process and should only be carried out by an authorized installer. The unit is firmly integrated into your vehicle's CAN bus network which ensures that it is communicating directly with the ECU. This allows the Ghost to be installed without having to alter the factory settings and guarantees that it cannot be bypassed by a burglar using signal boosters or other methods.
When the Ghost is installed, a new and improved sequence to disarm is required to be inputted in order to start your car. This can be accomplished by pressing the service button in your vehicle five times within 2 seconds, while ensuring that it's not pressed for an extended period of time. The system will flash twice to indicate that Transport Mode is active. This feature is perfect for classic, sports or prestige vehicles that require their security system to be temporarily disabled during service or transport.
After Transport Mode has been activated the immobiliser will be disabled and cannot be activated by entering your PIN code again. This feature is perfect for those who want to store their vehicle over the winter months, thus preventing it from being taken by thieves or being liable for monthly increases in insurance premiums.
There are no keyfobs, LEDs or other indicators to help you find it.
The Ghost immobiliser is a discrete device that shields your joy and pride from car thieves by utilizing buttons on your steering wheel or dashboard to input an unobtrusive pin code prior to 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. It's simple to install and can be put in a wide range of vehicles. It is also very stealthy and can be concealed in places that are difficult to reach, such as behind the dashboard or within the steering-wheel trim.
This is a fantastic option for vehicles with high performance since it will disable your vehicle's ignition in the event that the incorrect pin code is entered. This prevents thieves from driving away with your pride and happiness. The device can 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 vehicle.
Like other immobilisers Ghost doesn't require any extra fobs or LED indications It can be concealed easily in a hard-to-reach area inside your vehicle. It communicates directly with the vehicle's CAN data network, which makes it extremely resistant to detection. It does not emit radio signals, so it is inaccessible to RF scanners or signal jammers.
It's designed to be tamper proof and weatherproof, which means it can withstand extreme temperatures. It's also not possible to interfere with by cutting wires or removing the device. Furthermore, it doesn't require any circuit cutting to function, which means it's inaccessible to organized gangs of thieves that employ diagnostics reading devices to identify security systems that are fitted. It's also not affected by auto diagnostics equipment that is professional which checks the CAN data system for the presence of a security device.
No circuit cuts
With no LED indications or key fobs to reveal its location, the device is hidden inside your vehicle, underneath the dashboard or steering wheel and uses buttons in your car to make an individual PIN code sequence which must be entered before the engine can be started. This means that even if the thief does have your keys they cannot drive the vehicle away as they would not know the correct PIN code sequence. The device does not transmit any radio signals, meaning that organized gangs of thieves using diagnostics devices will be unable to detect the device.
This innovative immobiliser, which is also TASSA-approved, can aid in reducing your insurance costs. This is particularly relevant to vehicles that their owners have customised. It also stops key cloning theft, as well as ECU swapping. This means that the only way a thief can steal your joy and pride is to remove it.
Because the system does not 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 that operates in complete silence and doesn't even indicate that it's fitted. It means that a criminal would not be able to install new key fobs or even replace the ECU to get your vehicle to start, which negates any other theft methods used in recent years such as key cloning RFID scanning and code grabbing.
If you ever forget your PIN code our engineers will have provided you with an emergency reset option for the device that allows you to enter 'service mode'. This will allow an expert or dealer to temporarily start and drive your vehicle, allowing them to perform MOTs, maintenance work, or valet parking. Once the technician has finished their job or you've removed your vehicle, simply enter the PIN code and the device will exit service mode depending on the speed and time.
No radio signals
The Ghost immobiliser, unlike other car security systems is not dependent on alarm systems or key fobs to stop vehicles from beginning. It communicates instead with the vehicle's ECU, CAN data circuit and other circuits to block the engine starting. It's a discrete solution that isn't affected by key-cloning techniques or radio frequency scanning used by thieves to avoid security devices. It can be used in conjunction with tracking devices to enhance the security of your vehicle. You will also receive alerts if there is any attempt to tamper or steal.
The Autowatch Ghost, a TASSA certified device, is an insurance-approved and offers an excellent level of protection against key hacking and copying. It uses a mobile application to control the device and is encrypted to protect. It also has an emergency PIN code override. It is a discreet effective and economical method to protect your vehicle from theft.
Ghost isn't without issues. Users frequently have difficulty completing the correct sequence of disarming. This is because the device requires input through buttons already in your vehicle, for example those on the steering wheel or on the centre console. It isn't easy for drivers to remember, or they might be wrong the first time. It is recommended to read the manual that comes with the device in order to comprehend this and practice the disarming procedure prior to driving the vehicle.
Another issue is that certain vehicles have issues with the CAN data connections, which can affect Ghost's performance. This can be caused either by defective sensors, or a damaged OBD connector. It is best to have the system tested again prior to using it to determine if there are any issues with the connection to CAN.
Change your PIN code quickly
The Ghost is a fantastic product that has enjoyed a great reception on the market. However changing the pin code can be a bit confusing. The device is pre-programmed via the installer when it's installed however, there are times when customers may want to change this for different reasons such as they'd like an alternative button to disable the device, they don't want their installer to know or they simply don't like their current pin number. It's easy to change your pin number. Follow these easy steps to learn how.
Please note that you will need to turn on the ignition but do not start your car! This process takes only a few moments. The vehicle will then resume normal operation.
