Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser is a renowned product that safeguards your vehicle against key-cloning hacking and theft. This TASSA-verified system is undetectable by thieves and blocks your vehicle from starting.
This device is silent and uses buttons on the steering wheel, centre console, and door panels of your vehicle to allow you to create an individual PIN code of up to 20 characters that needs to be entered prior to the car will start.
Easy to install
It is more crucial than ever to secure your vehicle. With car crime increasing, and cloning devices readily available, it is essential to do so. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser provides a secure, efficient and affordable solution to guard against key-cloning and car theft. The device is virtually undetectable by thieves and works through buttons on the steering wheel or door panels, as well as the central console. This allows customers to create a unique disarming sequence like a credit card that must be entered before the vehicle can be started or driven away. This makes the system nearly impossible to detect and is also 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 your vehicle's CAN bus system, ensuring it communicates directly to the ECU. The Ghost can be installed without affecting the factory settings. It is impossible for a thief to evade the system with signal boosters.
After the Ghost is installed it is necessary to use a different and more efficient disarming sequence in order to activate your vehicle. Press the service button 5 times in a matter of 2 seconds, but be sure you don't hold it down for too long. The system will flash twice to signal that Transport Mode is active. This feature is ideal for classic, sports and prestige vehicles that require their security systems to be temporarily disabled during service or transport.
After Transport Mode is activated the immobiliser will be removed and you will not be able to activate it again by entering the PIN code. This feature is ideal for those who wish to store their vehicles during the winter months to protect them from being stolen or to avoid paying higher insurance premiums.
There aren't any keyfobs, LEDs or other indicators to assist you in finding it.
The Ghost immobiliser is a subtle device that protects your pride and joy from thieves who steal cars by utilizing buttons on the dashboard or steering wheel to input a discreet pin code prior to the start of the engine. It can be linked to a phone application to arm/disarm remotely. It prevents signal relays, ECU swapping, and key copying. It's easy to install and can be fitted into a variety of vehicles. It's also extremely discreet and can be concealed in a hard-to-reach place like behind the dashboard or inside the trim of the steering wheel.
This is a great choice for high-performance vehicles because it can disable your vehicle's ignition if wrong pin code has been entered. This will stop thieves from stealing your joy and pride. The device can even send an alert to your smartphone when you've left the vehicle without a key in public areas, providing you with peace of mind while you're away from your vehicle.
The Ghost is different from other immobilisers as it doesn't require any additional fobs or LED indicators. It can also be hidden in an area that is difficult to reach your vehicle. It is extremely resistant to detection because it communicates directly with the CAN data network of your vehicle. It does not emit radio signals, so it is not detected by signal jammers or RF scanners.
It's made to be tamperproof and weatherproof, and can endure extreme temperatures. what is a ghost immobiliser is also difficult to tamper by cutting the wires, or by removing it. Additionally, it doesn't need any cuts in the circuit to function, and is therefore inaccessible to organized gangs of thiefs who employ diagnostics reading devices to identify the security systems fitted to. It is not affected by diagnostic equipment that checks CAN data for the presence or absence of a security system.
No circuit cuts
The device is not have any LED indicators or key fobs to indicate its place of operation. It is hidden beneath the steering wheel, dashboard or dashboard of your vehicle and uses buttons to create an unique PIN sequence that has to be entered in order to start the engine. This means that even if a person who stole your keys does have them, they can't drive the car away since they do not be aware of the correct PIN sequence. The device does not transmit any radio signals, which means that organised thief gangs using diagnostics reading devices won't be able to detect the device.
This cutting edge immobiliser is TASSA approved and can reduce your insurance premiums, especially for modified vehicles that have been modified by their owners. It also wards off key cloning theft, as well as ECU swapping. This means that the only way for a criminal can steal your pride and joy is to tow it away.
Because the system does not make use of the key fobs that are supplied by the factory or the dashboard buttons it is an entirely silent device and communicates with your ECU via the CAN data circuit which is completely silent and doesn't even indicate that it's fitted. It means that a criminal could not add new key fobs or even replace the ECU in order to get your vehicle to start. This eliminates any other theft methods used in recent years such as key cloning, RF scanning and code taking.
If you ever 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 a technician or dealer to temporarily start and drive your vehicle, allowing them to perform maintenance work, MOTs or valet parking. Once the technician is finished or you have collected the vehicle, enter the PIN code to exit the service mode.
No radio signals
In contrast to other security systems, the Ghost immobiliser doesn't use an alarm system or key fobs to block vehicles from starting. Instead it communicates with the vehicle's ECU and CAN data circuit to prevent the engine from starting. It is a discreet solution, which is not affected by key-cloning methods or RF scanning techniques used by thieves to get around security devices. It can be paired with tracking devices to enhance the security of your vehicle. You will also receive alerts if there is any attempt to steal or alter the security of your vehicle.
The Autowatch Ghost is a TASSA-certified device that is approved by insurance and provides superior security against key hacking, cloning, and even stealing. It is controlled by an app on mobile devices and is secured to ensure security. It comes with a secure emergency PIN override. It's a quiet effective and economical method to protect your vehicle from theft.
However the Ghost has its share of issues. Users often have trouble entering the correct sequence of disarming. This is due to the fact that the device requires input from buttons that are already present in your vehicle, for example those on the steering wheel or on the centre console. This isn't easy for drivers to remember, or they could get it wrong the first time. It is recommended to read the manual that comes with the device in order to comprehend this, and to practice the process of disarming prior to driving the vehicle.
Another issue is that some vehicles have problems with the CAN data connection, which can impact the performance of the Ghost. This could be caused by faulty sensors or a damaged OBD port. It is recommended to test the system again before you use it in case the CAN connection has any issues.
Change the PIN code with ease
The Ghost is a fantastic product that has enjoyed a great reception on the market. However, the process of changing the pin code can be confusing. The device is programmed by the installer at the time of installation, however users may wish to alter it due to a variety of reasons. For example, they might prefer a different button that disarms the device or not want their installer to know. Or they may simply not like the pin code they currently have. The good news is the switching to a different pin number is extremely simple. Follow the steps below to learn how.
Note: You must switch on the ignition of your vehicle but DO NOT start the engine! The process takes only just a few seconds to complete. The vehicle will then resume normal operation.
