Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

Guard your precious possessions from theft by using the Ghost Immobiliser. This system is discrete and doesn't require additional key fobs.

The device makes use of buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels, door panels and centre console) to generate a unique pin sequence that can be altered up to 20 times. This allows your vehicle to begin.

Simple PIN code Change Process

With the rising rate of vehicle theft, many owners are looking to improve their security. There are many types of security products that are available, from tracking systems to immobilisers and alarms. They're not all equally effective in protecting your vehicle. A tracking device can assist you in locating your vehicle in the event of it being stolen however it cannot prevent the crime. Immobilisers, in contrast are exactly what they say on the label - they shut off your car's engine so that it isn't able to be 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.

Utilizing the buttons already in your car, the ghost immobiliser car device creates an unique sequence that must be entered before the car's engine starts. This can be done using the indicator stalk or window buttons. Additionally option, there is a mobile app which can act as an emergency PIN code override, allowing the driver to operate the car without having to use the button sequence. This is a great solution if you want to give your car to valet parking or servicing. The immobiliser will remain in operation.

The Ghost is an innovative and unique device that works with the buttons on your vehicle rather than as a standalone unit. This means it's not just a powerful protection against theft of your vehicle, but it can also be transferred over to any future cars you may own, making it much more investment-wise than the traditional lock on your steering wheel.

Weatherproof tiny device

The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is a sophisticated security device that shields your car from key hacking and cloning. It also blocks ECU swapping. It's a weatherproof and small device that communicates directly with your vehicle's ECU over the CAN data bus to disable the engine. It can be placed in the vehicle without the need for additional wiring and has been thoroughly tested to make sure it is compatible with all vehicles. It is also immune to jamming devices that are a popular method used by car thieves to get around immobilisers.

The advantage of using CAN data is that it operates in a silent manner in comparison to conventional systems. It cannot be detected using sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing techniques, nor can it be recognized by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost does not employ LED indicators but instead utilizes buttons on your vehicle, such as the steering wheel, the centre console, or doors, to create an unique sequence of disarming. The sequence can be extended by up to 20 presses to provide additional security. The iPhone app permits a single, authorised connection, with a pairing code that is unique to the ghost autowatch immobiliser and communication between the two is encrypted.

The Ghost also prevents car thieves from adding the key to a new car or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser and begin the engine. The engine will only run only if a valid PIN has been entered. It is also possible to put it into Valet/Service mode for temporary operation (with set parameters such as 30mph speed limit) so that you can give your car to a valet service or for servicing without the need to enter a PIN code.

Every vehicle is tested

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket immobiliser CANbus. It can be connected to the vehicle's wiring and to the engine control unit (ECU). The device detects electronic signals to disable your car's system from running its normal startup routine until you input the passcode you have created. The system can be turned on or off by using your smartphone app without the need for extra wires.

The factory-installed immobilisers function with a transponder which is integrated into the key. This transmits a signal to the ECU. The car will start when the correct code is transmitted. If, however, the transponder of a different vehicle is used instead, the immobiliser will not recognize it. This allows the vehicle to be started and stolen. The ghost 11 immobiliser immobiliser was created by a South African company at the forefront of vehicle security systems technology. It shields your pride and joy from hacking, key cloning and even key theft. Only by physically towing your vehicle away from thieves could they take it away, and they would still not be able to drive the vehicle.

Ghost makes use of buttons in your vehicle, like the indicator stalk, the steering wheel, as well as the doors, to generate a unique PIN code that must be entered to use your car. It does this without additional hardware, like key fobs. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also inaccessible to devices for diagnosis and transmits radio frequency signals, meaning thieves cannot make use of sophisticated RF scanners or code grabbing technologies to identify that an installation has been made.

Unlike physical anti-theft devices like clamps or wheel locks ghost 2 immobiliser problems is covertly integrated into the vehicle, so it cannot be taken away or disabled by thieves. It's even more difficult to get rid of than a car alarm, which requires disarming via an action sequence. This makes it a great complement to a GPS tracker, which can help locate your car after it has been taken.

Override of emergency PIN code

You don't need to look far on social media sites to find stories or even videos of vehicles that have been taken by thieves using the most advanced technology tools available to them. This includes key-cloning devices and hacking devices that allow them to start your vehicle without the original key fobs.

Our Ghost immobiliser is designed to combat this, and give you an additional layer of security in order to prevent your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It creates an unique pin code sequence that is triggered by the buttons you have on the steering wheel, door panel, and the centre console. The unique pin code is entered alongside your original key fob in order to stop the engine from beginning. The unique override PIN is on the black card that you will receive following your installation and is easy to remember because there are no LED indications.

The device is hidden within the vehicle's wiring and does not emit radio signals, therefore it isn't able to be detected by modern thieves using diagnostic software that is able to recognise what type of security system you have installed. This makes it a great alternative to the tracking device.

In contrast to other security systems that have an engine relay bay, these CANBUS Immobilisers connect with the vehicle's ECU and BCM via the CAN data bus (brand dependant). This allows them to disable a vehicle completely, by sending an electronic block to the ECU and 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 service/valet mode-compatible and are a great alternative to a tracker you are taking your car in for repairs to an electrical issue at the dealers.

Service/Valet Mode

In recent times, there has seen an increase in the number of cars being stolen from owners without keys. It's easier than ever before to take your joy and pride due to the availability of key cloning tools and door lock picks. We have created the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It prevents your vehicle from being driven even if you keys have been copied.

It directly communicates with your car's ECU (Engine Control Unit), via the data loop of CAN. It's completely quiet since it doesn't use radio frequency or key fobs. This means it isn't detected by diagnostics or any other car hacking devices. It also prevents you from introducing an ECU or key to circumvent the system, since only the PIN code allows the engine to start.

The device is hidden in your vehicle and is accessible via buttons on your steering wheel, center console and door panels. Before you can begin your vehicle, you must enter a unique, changeable PIN code up to 20 numbers.

This is the very first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser for the market that was created. It will stop your vehicle from being driven or started when you don't enter a PIN code before entering. If you are driving away with the device armed it will display an indicator on your dashboard and flash continuously for approximately 300m. Entering your PIN code will turn off the anti-hijack. Your car will continue to function normally. If you do not 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.
