Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
The renowned Ghost Immobiliser provides your vehicle with advanced protection 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 makes use of buttons on the steering wheel, center console, and the door panels of your vehicle to allow you to create an individual PIN code of up to 20 characters long that you must enter before the car will start.
Easy to install
It is more important than ever to secure your vehicle. With car thefts increasing and cloning tools readily available, it's essential to do so. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser provides a discrete, effective and aftermarket solution to protect against key cloning and car theft. The unit is virtually undetectable to thieves and operates via buttons that are already present in the steering wheel, door panels or centre console. This enables customers to create a unique disarming sequence similar to a credit card that must be entered before the vehicle can be driven or started away. This makes the system nearly impossible to spot and is unaffected by spoofing or jamming devices that are used in other systems on the market.
Installation of the Ghost unit requires a highly-skilled installer. The unit is carefully incorporated into the vehicle's CAN bus system, ensuring it communicates directly to the ECU. The Ghost can be installed without altering the factory settings, and it is not possible for thieves to evade the system by using signal boosters.
Once the Ghost is fitted, a new and improved sequence to disarm is required to be inputted in order to activate your car. Press the service button five times in a matter of 2 seconds, but ensure that you don't hold it for too long. The system will then flash twice to indicate that Transport Mode has been activated. This feature is ideal for classic, sports or luxury vehicles that have to have their security system temporarily disabled while transporting or maintenance.
Once Transport Mode is activated, your immobiliser will be removed and you will not be able to reactivate it by entering the PIN code. This feature is perfect for those who want to store their car during the winter months, and avoid being stolen by thieves or having to deal with monthly insurance premiums that increase.
No LED indicators or key-fobs to reveal its location
The Ghost immobiliser is a discrete device that protects your pride and joy from car thieves by utilizing buttons on your dashboard or steering wheel to enter an unobtrusive pin code prior the start of the engine. It prevents attacks using signal relays, ECU swapping and key cloning and can be linked to a mobile application that allows remote arming and disarming. It is easy to install, and is able to be fitted in a wide range of vehicles. It is also very stealthy and can be concealed in places that are difficult to reach, such as behind the dashboard, or in the trim of the steering wheel.
It's a great choice for high-performance vehicles since it can shut off the ignition system of your vehicle if a wrong pin code is entered, preventing thieves from stealing your pride and joy. The device can notify an iPhone if the vehicle is left unattended when in public. This gives you peace of mind when you are away from your car.
The Ghost is unlike other immobilisers because it doesn't require additional fobs or LED indicators. It can also be easily hidden in a difficult-to-reach area of your vehicle. It communicates 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 RF scanners or signal jammers.
It's made to be tamperproof and weatherproof, and is able to stand up to extreme temperatures. It's also impossible to be tampered with by cutting the wires, or by removing it. Additionally, it doesn't need any cuts in the circuit to function, which means it's inaccessible to organized gangs of thiefs who employ diagnostics devices to detect security systems that are fitted. It is not affected by diagnostic equipment that examines the CAN data to determine whether there is or absence of security systems.
No circuit cuts
Without any LED indicators or key fobs that can reveal its location the ghost device is hidden in your car, under the dashboard or steering wheel and makes use of buttons in your car to create an unique PIN code that has to be entered before the engine can start. This means that even if a thief does have your keys they are unable to drive the vehicle away since they do not be aware of the correct PIN sequence. The device also doesn't transmit radio signals, which means that organised gangs of thieves using diagnostics devices will be unable to detect the device.
This innovative immobiliser, which is also TASSA-approved can aid in reducing your insurance rates. This is particularly applicable to modified vehicles whose owners have customised. It also helps prevent key theft and ECU switching, which means that the only way for a thief to steal your pride and happiness is to take it away. it away.

It communicates with the ECU by using the CAN data circuit, which is completely silent and doesn't give any indication that it was installed. This means that a burglar will not be able to make new key fobs or replace the ECU to get your car to start. This eliminates any other theft methods employed in recent years like key cloning, RF scanning and code theft.
If you've forgotten your PIN code our engineers have provided an emergency reset device that allows you to enter "service mode". This will allow a technician or dealer to temporarily start and drive your vehicle and perform maintenance work, MOTs or valet parking. When the technician is finished their job or you've collected your vehicle, simply enter the PIN code and the device will go out of service mode dependent on speed and duration.
No radio signals
The Ghost immobiliser, unlike other security systems for cars, does not rely on an alarm system or key fobs to block vehicles from starting. It communicates with the vehicle's ECU, CAN data circuit and other circuits to stop the engine starting. This makes it a discrete solution that isn't affected by key cloning or RF scanning techniques used by thieves to bypass other security devices. It can be used in conjunction with tracking devices to improve the safety of your vehicle. You will also be alerted when there is a chance to steal or alter the security of your vehicle.

It is best to read the manual included with the device and practice the disarming procedure before driving.
Another issue is that certain vehicles have problems with the CAN data connection, which can affect the functioning of the Ghost. This can be caused by defective sensors or a damaged OBD port. It is best to test the system before attempting to use it in the event of any issues with the CAN connection.
It is simple to change the PIN code
The ghost is an excellent device that has taken the market by storm but the process of changing the pin code can be a little confusing. The device is pre-programmed via the installer when it's fitted however, there are times when customers may need to change this setting due to a variety of reasons, such as they'd like to use a different button to deactivate the device or they don't want their installer to know or they simply don't like their current pin code. ghost immobiliser tracker to change your pin number.
