Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser is a renowned product that safeguards your vehicle against key-cloning hacking and theft. This TASSA confirmed system is undetectable to thieves and prevents the thieves from starting your vehicle.
This silent device uses buttons that are located on the steering wheel, center console, and on the door panels of your vehicle. It allows you to create a unique PIN code up to 20 characters long that you must enter before the car can start.
Easy to install
It is more crucial than ever that you protect your vehicle. With car crime increasing and cloning tools readily available, it is essential to take precautions. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a secure and discreet aftermarket solution to protect against key-cloning and car theft. It is virtually undetectable by thieves and operates via existing buttons in the steering wheel, door panels or centre console. This allows customers to create an exclusive disarm sequence that is similar to that of credit card numbers that must be entered before the vehicle is able to begin or be driven away. This makes the system virtually impossible to spot and is unaffected by jamming or spoofing devices as used with other systems available.
The installation of the Ghost unit is a highly-specialized procedure and must only be done by an approved installer. The unit is carefully integrated into your vehicle's CAN bus network and ensures that it is directly connected to the ECU. This allows the Ghost to be installed without changing the factory settings, and also ensures that it is not hacked by a burglar using signal boosters or other techniques.
After the Ghost is installed the new and improved disarm sequence is required to be inputted in order to start your car. Press the service button 5 times in two seconds, but make sure that you don't hold it for too long. The system will flash twice to indicate that Transport Mode is active. This feature is ideal for classic, sports and prestige vehicles that require their security system to be temporarily disabled during service or transport.
After Transport Mode has been activated, the immobiliser is turned off and is not reactivated by entering your PIN code again. This feature is ideal for those who want to store their cars during the winter to prevent theft or to avoid having to pay higher insurance premiums.
No LED indicators or key-fobs to give away its location
The Ghost immobiliser shields your vehicle from theft by pressing buttons on the steering wheel or dashboard. You can enter a pin number without being noticed before starting the engine. It protects against attacks using signal relays, ECU swapping and key cloning. It also connects to a mobile application that allows remote arming and disarming. It's easy to install and can be fitted into a variety of vehicles. It is also very stealthy and can be hidden in difficult-to-access places, such as behind the dashboard or within the trim of the steering wheel.
It's a great option for high-performance vehicles because it can disable the ignition system of your vehicle if the wrong pin code is entered, which will stop thieves from stealing your joy and pride. The device can also send an alert to your mobile if you've left the car unattended in public, providing you with peace of mind when you're away from your car.
Unlike other immobilisers, the Ghost does not require additional fobs or LED indications and can be concealed easily in a hard-to-reach place in your vehicle. It works by communicating directly with the vehicle's CAN data network, which makes it extremely resistant to detection. It does not emit radio signals, so it is not detected by signal jammers or RF scanners.
It is designed to be tamper-proof and weatherproof. It is also able to withstand extreme temperatures. It is also impossible to alter by cutting wires, or by removing it. Additionally, it doesn't need any cuts in the circuit to function, which means it's inaccessible to organised thief gangs that employ diagnostics reading devices to identify security systems that are fitted. It's not affected by professional diagnostic equipment that analyzes the CAN data for the presence or absence of security systems.
No circuit cuts
The device is not include any LED indicators or key fobs that would identify its location. It is hidden under the steering wheel or dashboard of your car and makes use of buttons to create a unique PIN sequence that must be entered to turn on the engine. This means that even if the person who stole your keys does have them, they can't drive the car away as they would not be able to identify the correct PIN sequence. The device does not transmit radio signals, meaning that organized criminal gangs that use diagnostics reading devices will not be able to detect the device.
This innovative immobiliser, which is also TASSA-approved, will aid in reducing your insurance costs. This is especially relevant to vehicles that their owners have customised. It also prevents key cloning theft, as well as ECU swapping, which means that the only way a thieves can take your joy and pride is to tow it away.
The system is completely silent since it does not use the buttons on the dashboard or factory keys. It communicates with the ECU by using the CAN data circuit which is completely silent and does not give any indication that it has been installed. This means that a burglar can't replace the ECU or add new key fobs to get your car to start.
If you have forgotten your PIN code our engineers have provided you with an emergency reset device that lets you enter "service mode". This allows a technician or dealer to temporarily drive and start your vehicle, allowing them to perform maintenance work, MOTs or valet parking. Once the technician has finished their work or you have removed your vehicle, simply enter the PIN code and the device will exit service mode based on speed and time.
No radio signals
Contrary to many other car security systems the Ghost immobiliser does not use an alarm system or key fobs to stop vehicles from beginning. Instead it communicates with vehicle's ECU and CAN data circuit to prevent the engine from starting. It's a discrete solution, which is not affected by key-cloning techniques or RF scanning used by thieves to get around security devices. It can also be used with tracking systems to improve the security of your vehicle. It will also alert you to any attempted tampering or theft.
The Autowatch Ghost, a TASSA certified device, is an insurance-approved and provides the best protection against key hacking and copying. It utilizes a mobile app to control the device. It is encrypted to ensure security. It has a secure emergency PIN override. It is an effective cost-effective, discrete and discreet method to shield your car from theft.
However the Ghost is not without its difficulties. One of the most frequent issues is that people struggle to get into the right disarm sequence. This is because the device requires input from buttons already in your vehicle, for example those on the steering wheel or centre console. This isn't easy for drivers to remember, or they may be wrong the first time around. It is recommended to read the user manual that comes with the device and then practice the disarming process prior to driving.
Another issue is that some vehicles have issues with the CAN data connection, which can impact the functioning of the Ghost. This could be due to defective sensors or a damaged OBD port. It is recommended to check the system before using it, in case the CAN connection is faulty.
Change PIN code easily
The Ghost is an excellent product that has enjoyed a great reception on the market. However the process of changing the pin code can be a bit confusing. The device is programmed by the installer at the moment of installation, but users may wish to alter it for various reasons. For instance, they might prefer an alternative button that deactivates the device or not want their installer to be aware. They may also dislike their current pin code. The good news is the switch to a new pin number is very simple. Follow these easy steps to learn how.
Be how much is a ghost immobiliser that you will have to turn off the ignition but DO NOT start your car! It will take only about a minute to complete. The vehicle will then return to normal operation.
