Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser is a renowned product that protects your vehicle against key-cloning hacking and theft. This TASSA-certified system is not detected by thieves and prevents your vehicle from being started.
This device is silent and uses buttons on your vehicles steering wheel as well as the doors and the centre console to allow you to create a unique, PIN code that you can change up to 20 characters. The code must be entered before the car is able to start.
Easy to install
It is more important than ever to protect your vehicle. With car crime increasing, and cloning devices easily available, it's vital to take precautions. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser provides a discrete, effective and aftermarket solution for protecting against key-cloning and car theft. The device is virtually undetectable by thieves and operates via buttons that are already present in the steering wheel or door panels, as well as the central console. This allows customers to create a unique sequence of disarming like the credit card which must be entered before a car is able to be started or driven away. This makes the system virtually impossible to identify and is unaffected by spoofing or jamming devices that are used in other systems available.
Installation of the Ghost unit requires a highly-skilled installer. The unit is carefully integrated into the CAN bus network of your vehicle, ensuring that it communicates directly with the ECU. The Ghost can be installed without affecting the factory settings, and it is impossible for a thief to bypass the system using signal boosters.
After the Ghost has been installed after installation, you must input a new and improved disarming sequence in order to activate your vehicle. This can be accomplished by pressing the service button on your vehicle 5 times within 2 seconds while making sure that it's not repeatedly pressed for a long period of time. The system will flash twice to signal that Transport Mode is active. This feature is ideal for classic, sports or high-end vehicles that require to have their security system temporarily disabled during transportation or servicing.
After Transport Mode is activated, the immobiliser is disabled and cannot be reactivated by entering your PIN code again. This feature is great for those who wish to store their vehicle over the winter months, thus preventing it from being stolen by thieves or being liable for monthly increases in insurance premiums.
There aren't any keyfobs, LEDs or other indicators that can assist you in finding it.
The Ghost immobiliser guards your vehicle from thieves by using buttons located on the steering wheel or dashboard. You can enter a pin code without being noticed prior to starting the engine. It can be connected to an app on your phone to arm and disarm remotely. It also prevents signal relay, ECU swapping, and key copying. It's simple to install and can be integrated into a variety of vehicles. It's also extremely discreet and can be hidden in places that are difficult to reach, such as behind the dashboard, or inside the trim on the steering wheel.
This is a great option for vehicles with high performance because it can disable your vehicle's ignition in the event that the incorrect pin code is entered. This stops thieves from stealing your joy and pride. The device can even send an alert to your mobile if you've left the car without a key in public areas, giving you peace of brain while you're away from your car.
The Ghost is different from other immobilisers as it does not require additional fobs or LED indicators. It is also able to be concealed in a difficult-to-reach area of your vehicle. It communicates directly with the vehicle's CAN data network, making it highly resistant to detection. It also doesn't emit radio signals, which makes it unnoticeable by RF scanners or signal jammers.
It is designed to be weatherproof and tamper-proof. It also has the ability to stand up to extreme temperatures. It is also difficult to tamper by cutting the wires, or by removing it. It is also undetectable by organised gangs of thieves who use diagnostics reading equipment to detect security systems. It is not affected by professional diagnostic equipment that examines the CAN data to determine whether there is or absence of a security system.

The ghost device doesn't include any LED indicators or key fobs that would identify its whereabouts. It is hidden beneath the steering wheel or dashboard of your vehicle and uses buttons to generate a unique PIN sequence that needs to be entered to start the engine. This means that even if the person who stole your keys does have them, they are unable to drive the vehicle away since they do not be aware of the correct PIN sequence. The device cannot transmit radio signals, therefore organized gangs of thieves who use tools for reading diagnostics will be not able to detect it.
This advanced immobiliser, that is also TASSA-approved, will help you reduce your insurance costs. This is especially applicable to modified vehicles whose owners have customised. It also wards off key cloning theft, as well as ECU swapping, which means that the only way for a thief can steal your joy and pride is to tow it away.
Since the system doesn't use the factory key fobs or dashboard buttons, it is an entirely silent device that communicates with your ECU via the CAN data circuit that is completely silent and gives no indication that it's fitted. This means that thieves cannot swap out the ECU or even add new key fobs in order to get your car started.
If you ever forget your PIN code, our engineers have provided you with an emergency reset option for the device, which permits you to enter'service mode'. This allows dealers or technicians to temporarily drive and start your vehicle and perform MOTs, maintenance work, or valet parking. After the technician has completed their job or you've collected your vehicle, simply enter the PIN code and the device will be out of service mode dependent on speed and duration.
No radio signals
Unlike many other car security systems the Ghost immobiliser does not rely on an alarm system or key fobs to prevent vehicles from beginning. Instead, it communicates with the vehicle's ECU and CAN data circuits to prevent the engine from starting. It is a discreet solution that isn't affected by key-cloning techniques or radio frequency scanning techniques used by thieves to get around security devices. It can be used in conjunction with tracking devices to increase the safety of your vehicle. You will also be alerted if attempts are made to alter or steal.
The Autowatch Ghost, a TASSA certified device, is affixed to insurance and provides superior protection against key hacking and the cloning. It uses a mobile application to control the device and is encrypted to ensure security. It has a secure emergency PIN override. It's a discrete, effective and economical way to protect your vehicle from theft.
However the Ghost is not without its problems. One common issue is that users have difficulty to enter the correct disarm sequence. The device requires input from buttons already in your vehicle such as those found on the steering column or console. Some people may find it difficult to remember or even miss especially when the device is being first used. It is advisable to read the manual included with the device to learn this and practice the disarming procedure prior to driving the vehicle.
Another issue is that some vehicles have problems with the CAN data connection, which can impact the functionality of the Ghost. This can be caused by malfunctioning sensors or an damaged OBD port. It is recommended to test the system again before using it in the event that the CAN connector has any issues.
Change PIN code easily
The Ghost is a fantastic product that has been a hit on the market. However, the process of changing the pin code can be confusing. The device is pre-programmed by the installer when it's installed but sometimes customers might want to change this due to a variety of reasons, such as they'd like a different button to disarm the device and they don't want the installer to know or they don't want to use their current pin code. The good news is the change over to a new pin number is incredibly easy. Follow the steps below to learn how.
Please note that you will need to switch on the ignition of your vehicle but do not turn on the engine! This process takes only just a few minutes. The vehicle will then return to normal operation.
