Guard your precious possessions against theft by using the Ghost tracker installation Immobiliser. It's discreet and does not require additional key fobs to operate.

The device uses existing buttons in your vehicle (steering wheel, door panels & centre console) to create a unique pin code sequence up to 20 presses. This will then allow your vehicle to begin.

Simple PIN code Change Process

With the increasing rate of vehicle theft, a lot of owners are seeking to improve their security. There are a variety of security products that are available for sale including tracking systems, alarms and immobilisers. Not all of them are equally effective in protecting your vehicle. A tracking system may assist you in locating your car if it is stolen however it cannot prevent the crime. Immobilisers, on the contrary perform exactly as they claim on the tin: they disable your car's motor so that it can't be started. The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced options available on the market, making it nearly impossible for thieves to take your car.

The ghost device uses the buttons on your car to create a unique sequence which must be entered to allow the engine to start. This can be done using the window, heater or indicator stalk buttons. There is also a mobile app that can be used as an emergency PIN override, which allows the driver to operate their car without the button sequence. This is a great option for those who want to offer your car to valet parking or for maintenance. The immobiliser will stay in operation.

The Ghost is an innovative and unique device that operates with your vehicle's buttons rather than as a standalone device. It's not just an effective deterrent to vehicle theft and vandalism, but it can also be used on any future vehicles you may own. This makes it a better investment than a traditional wheel lock.

Weatherproof, tiny device

The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is a high-tech security system that protects your car from key hacking and cloning. It also stops ECU swapping. It is a weatherproof tiny device that connects directly to your vehicle's ECU over the CAN data bus to disable the engine. It can be placed in the vehicle without the need for extra wiring and has been extensively tested to ensure it works with all vehicles. It also is resistant to jamming devices, which is the most common method used by thieves to get around existing immobilisers.

The benefit of using CAN data is that it operates in a silent manner in comparison to conventional systems. It isn't detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology and is also undetectable by traditional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost doesn't use LED indicators but instead utilizes buttons on your vehicle, like the steering wheel, the centre console, or door panels, to create a unique sequences for disarming. This sequence can be extended by 20 or more presses for additional security. The iPhone app lets you make only one, authenticated connection with the pairing code unique to the Ghost and the communication between the two is secured.

The ghost 2 immobiliser fitting near me also prevents thieves from stealing a new key or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser to start the engine. The engine can only be started if a valid PIN code is entered. It is able to be operated temporarily in the Valet/Service mode (with parameters set, such as 30mph speed limit) which means you can give your car to a valet or service without entering an entry code.

Every vehicle is tested

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket immobiliser for CAN bus that connects to your vehicle's existing wiring and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device snoops on electronic signals to block the system of your vehicle from performing its normal startup routine until you input an individual passcode. The system can be activated or deactivated by using your smartphone's app without the need for wires.

The standard factory immobilisers work by using a transponder that is embedded in the key. This sends a message to the ECU. If the correct code is transmitted, the car will start however, if the transponder is replaced by one from another vehicle the immobiliser will not recognise it. This enables the vehicle to be stolen and started. A South African company that is at the forefront of safety systems technology has developed the Ghost immobiliser. It shields your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and even key theft. Only by physically towing your car away can thieves get it and not be able to drive it.

Ghost utilizes the buttons of your car, such as the indicator stalk along with the steering wheel, indicator stalk and door panels to create a unique, changeable PIN code sequence that must be entered before you can drive. This is not required to use additional hardware, such as key fobs and can be up to 20 presses long. It is also undetectable to diagnostic equipment and doesn't transmit radio frequency signals, which means thieves cannot make use of sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing techniques to determine if security systems have been installed.

Unlike physical anti-theft devices like clamps or wheel locks Ghost is covertly integrated into the vehicle, so it cannot be removed or disabled by thieves and is more difficult to remove than a car alarm, which requires disarming with the use of a button sequence. This makes it a fantastic complement to a GPS tracking device that can be used to track your vehicle after it's been stolen.

Override of emergency PIN code

You don't have to look far on social media sites to find stories or even videos of vehicles that have been stolen by thieves using the most advanced technology tools available to them. This includes key-cloning devices and hacking devices that allow them to start your vehicle without your original key fobs.

The Ghost immobiliser was specifically designed to prevent this, and give you an extra layer of security in order to prevent your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It creates an unique pin code sequence that is triggered by your existing buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, and the center console. The unique pin code is entered in conjunction with your original key fob to prevent the engine from beginning. The unique override pin is found on a black plastic card that you will receive after the installation. It is simple to remember since there are no LED indicators.

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

Unlike most other security systems that have a relay in the engine bay, CANBUS Immobilisers communicate with the car's ECU and BCM via the CAN data bus (brand dependant). This allows them to block the vehicle completely by sending an electronic block to the ECU and engine.

These systems can also be linked to an analog alarm, immobiliser or tracker. This must be specified prior to installation. They are also fully service/valet-mode compatible and are a great alternative to a tracker if you are you have your car checked for an electrical fault at the dealership.

Service/Valet mode

In recent times there has been an increase in the number of vehicles stolen without the 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've developed the autowatch ghost installation Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It blocks your vehicle from being driven even if your keys have been copied.

It connects directly to your car's ECU (Engine Control Unit) through the data loop of CAN. It's completely silent as it doesn't use radio frequency or a key fob. It isn't detected by diagnostics or any other hacking device. It also prevents the addition of the key to a new one or replacing the ECU to get around the system as only the correct PIN code can allow the engine to start.

The device is hidden in your vehicle and is reached via the buttons on your steering wheel, centre console and door panels. A unique and reversible PIN code sequence of up to 20 digits has to be entered before you can start your car.

This is the first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser for the market that has been developed. It will stop your vehicle from being driven or even started in the event that you do not enter a PIN code before entering. If you are driving away with the device arming, an indicator will appear on your dashboard and flash continuously for approximately 300m. Entering your PIN code will deactivate the anti-hijack. Your vehicle will continue to operate normally. If you do not enter your PIN code at this time the indication will keep flashing & will require a new PIN code every attempt to start your car.
