Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

Secure your prized possessions from theft by using the Ghost Immobiliser. This system is discrete and does not require any additional key fobs to operate.

The device uses existing buttons on your vehicle (steering wheel doors, door panels and centre console) to create a unique, changeable pin code sequence up to 20 presses long. This will allow your vehicle to begin.

Simple change of PIN code

Many homeowners are upgrading their security due to the rising number of vehicle thefts. There are many kinds of aftermarket security devices, from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. However, not all of them are equally effective at protecting your car. A tracking device can aid in finding your vehicle if it's stolen however, it won't prevent the crime. An immobiliser, on other hand does exactly what it says on the tin: it shuts down the engine of your vehicle so that it cannot be started. The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced options available, making it virtually impossible for thieves steal your vehicle.

The ghost device uses the buttons on your car to generate an unique sequence that needs to be entered in order for the engine to start. This can be done using the indicator stalk or window buttons. In addition option, there is a mobile app which can act as an emergency PIN code override, allowing the driver to operate the car without using the button sequence. This option is particularly useful when you need to hand your car over for valet parking or servicing, as the immobiliser is active and not deactivated.

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 just a highly effective protection against theft of your vehicle, but can also be transferred to any future vehicles you own, making it more of an investment than the traditional lock on your steering wheel.

Weatherproof, tiny device

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is a sophisticated security system that guards your car from key cloning, hacking and ECU swapping. It is a tiny weatherproof device that connects with the ECU of your vehicle directly through the CAN bus, causing it to shut down the motor. It can be plugged into the vehicle without the need for additional wiring and has been extensively tested to make sure it is compatible with all vehicles. It also is resistant to jamming devices, which are a common technique that car thieves use to circumvent immobilisers.

The advantage of using CAN data is that it operates in a silent manner compared to traditional systems. It can't be detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology and is also unrecognizable by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch local ghost installer doesn't use LED indicators and instead uses buttons on your vehicle, like the steering wheel, the centre console, or door panels, to create a unique disarming sequence. The sequence can be extended 20 presses for extra security. The iPhone app allows only one, authenticated connection with a pairing code that is unique to the ghost installation and communication between the two is secured.

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

Every vehicle is tested

The Autowatch Ghost is a first-of-its-kind aftermarket immobiliser CANbus. It can be connected to the wiring of your vehicle and also to the engine control unit (ECU). The device snoops on electronic signals to disable your car's system from performing its normal initialization process until you enter a custom passcode. The system can be turned off or on by using your smartphone app without the need for extra wires.

Standard factory immobilisers in vehicles work by having a transponder inside the key that transmits a signal to the ECU. The car will begin to start if the correct code is sent. However, if a transponder from a different vehicle is used instead, the immobiliser doesn't recognise it. This allows the vehicle be stolen and started. The Ghost immobiliser was developed by an South African company at the forefront of vehicle security systems technology. It protects you from hacking or key cloning and even key theft. The only way that a burglar could take your vehicle is physically towing it away and even then, they would not be capable of driving it.

ghost 2 immobiliser review makes use of buttons in your vehicle, including the indicator stalk, the steering wheel, and door panels, to create unique PIN codes that needs to be entered in order to use your car. It does this without additional hardware, like keys fobs. It can take up to 20 presses. It is also undetectable to diagnostic equipment and does not transmit radio frequency signals so thieves are not able to use sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing techniques to determine if security systems have been installed.

Ghost is more difficult to remove than car alarms, which require disarming using several buttons. This makes it an excellent 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 for stories or videos of vehicles that have been stolen with the latest technology tools. This includes key-cloning devices and hacking tools that allow thieves to start the vehicle with your original keys.

The Ghost immobiliser was designed to stop this, and give you an additional layer of security in order to protect your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It creates a unique pin code by pushing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel, and centre console. This unique PIN must be entered in conjunction with your original key fob to stop the vehicle from starting. The unique override pin is found on a black card that you will receive after your installation. It is easy to remember since there are no LED indicators.

The device is hidden within the vehicle's wiring and doesn't emit radio signals. Therefore, it cannot be detected using diagnostic software that can tell the type of security system you have installed. This makes it an excellent alternative to the tracker.

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

It is also possible to connect a separate analog 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 good alternative to a tracker when you have your car checked for repair at the dealership.

Service/Valet Mode

In recent years there has been an increase in vehicles being stolen with no owner's keys. With the ease of access to key cloning equipment & door lock pick sets, it is now much easier for thieves to take your prized possessions. We have developed the autowatch ghost installer Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It blocks your car from being driven, even if your keys have been cloned.

It connects directly to your vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) through the CAN data circuit. It is completely silent since it doesn't use radio frequencies or key fobs. This means it isn't detected by diagnostics or other car hacking devices. It also protects against adding a new key or replacing the ECU to bypass the system as only the correct PIN code will allow the engine to start.

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

This is the first aftermarket immobiliser for CAN bus to be created that will stop your car being moved away or even started without a PIN code being entered prior to. If you're driving away with the device in motion it will display an indicator on your dashboard and flash continuously for about 300m. Entering your PIN code will disable the anti-hijack. Your car will continue to run as normal. If you do not enter your PIN at this point, the warning will continue to flash and require a new PIN code every attempt to start your vehicle.
