Easy to install
With car crime on the rise and cloning tools readily available, it is more crucial than ever to safeguard your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser provides a discreet, effective and aftermarket solution for protecting against key-cloning and vehicle theft. It is virtually undetectable to thieves and operates via buttons that are already present in the steering wheel or door panels, as well as the central console. This allows users to create a unique disarm sequence like a credit card which must be entered before the vehicle is able to begin or leave. This makes the system virtually impossible to detect and is also unaffected by spoofing or jamming devices as used with other systems on the market.
Installation of the Ghost unit requires a highly-skilled installer. what is a ghost immobiliser is carefully incorporated into the CAN bus system of your vehicle and is able to communicate directly with the ECU. The Ghost can be installed without altering factory settings, and it is impossible for a thief to evade the system by using signal boosters.
When the Ghost is installed, a new and improved disarm sequence is required to be inputted in order to start your vehicle. This can be accomplished by pressing the service button in your vehicle 5 times in 2 seconds, while ensuring that it's not held for a prolonged period of time. The system will flash twice to indicate that Transport Mode is active. This feature is great for classic, sports and luxury vehicles that have to have their security system temporarily disabled during transport or servicing.
Once the Transport Mode is activated your immobiliser will become disabled and you cannot activate it again by entering the PIN code. This feature is perfect for those who wish to store their car during the winter months, and avoid being stolen by thieves or being liable for monthly increases in insurance premiums.
No key-fobs or LED indications to reveal the location of the vehicle.
The Ghost immobiliser is a discreet device that shields your joy and pride from thieves who steal cars by using buttons on the dashboard or steering wheel to input an unobtrusive pin code prior the start of the engine. It can be linked with a phone application to arm/disarm remotely. It blocks signal relay, ECU swapping, and key copying. It's simple to install and is able to be fitted in a wide range of vehicles. It's also extremely stealthy and can be hidden in a hard-to-reach place like behind the dashboard or in the steering wheel trim.
This is a great option for vehicles with high performance because it can disable your vehicle's ignition in the event that the wrong pin code has been entered. This prevents thieves from stealing your joy and pride. The device will notify smartphones if the vehicle is left unattended when in public. This gives you peace of mind when you are away from your car.
In contrast to other immobilisers, the Ghost doesn't require any extra fobs or LED indications and can be concealed easily in an unaccessible area within your vehicle. It communicates directly with the vehicle's CAN data network, making it highly resistant to detection. It also doesn't emit any radio signals, which makes it unnoticeable by RF scanners or signal jammers.
It's designed to be tamper-proof and weatherproof, which means it can endure extreme temperatures. It's also impossible to tamper by cutting the wires, or by removing it. Moreover, it doesn't require any circuit cuts to work so it's undetectable to organised thief gangs that use diagnostics devices to detect the security systems fitted to. It's also not affected by professional auto diagnostics equipment that examines the CAN data system for the presence of a security device.
No circuit cuts
Without LEDs or key fobs that can reveal its location the ghost device is hidden within your vehicle, underneath the dashboard or on the steering wheel and utilizes buttons inside your car to create a unique PIN code sequence which must be entered before the engine can be started. The thief cannot drive away the vehicle even if they have keys to your car because they don't know the correct code. The device cannot transmit radio signals, so organized gangs of thieves using diagnostics reading tools are in a position to not be able to recognize it.
This cutting edge immobiliser is TASSA approved and can help reduce the cost of insurance, particularly for vehicles that have been modified by their owners. It also helps prevent key theft and ECU switching, meaning that the only way for a thief to take your pride and happiness is to take it away. it away.
Because the system does not make use of the factory key fobs or the dashboard buttons it is a completely silent device that communicates with your ECU via the CAN data circuit, which is completely silent and does not display any indication that it's fitted. This means that a burglar cannot replace the ECU or install new key fobs to allow your car started.
If you forget your PIN code, our engineers have provided a reset emergency for the device that allows you to enter "service mode". This will allow the technician or dealer to temporarily start and drive your vehicle which allows them to complete maintenance work, MOTs or valet parking without having to enter the PIN code once more. After the technician has done 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 does not rely on an alarm system or key fobs to block vehicles from beginning. It communicates instead with the vehicle's ECU, the CAN data circuit as well as other circuits to stop the engine from starting. This makes it a quiet solution that is not affected by key cloning or radio frequency scanning techniques employed by thieves to bypass other security devices. It can be paired with tracking devices to increase the safety of your vehicle. You will also be alerted when attempts are made 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 protection against key hacking, cloning, and even stealing.

It is advisable to read the manual included with the device to learn this and practise the disarming process before driving the vehicle.
A second issue is that some vehicles have issues with CAN data connections, which can affect Ghost's performance. This can be caused by defective sensors, or damaged OBD connector. It is best to have the system tested again before using it in case there are any issues with the connection to CAN.
Easy to change PIN code
The Ghost is an excellent product that has become a huge hit on the market. However, the process of changing the pin code can be a bit confusing. The device is preprogrammed by the installer at the moment of installation, but customers might want to alter it for a variety of reasons. For example they may want an alternative button that deactivates the device or do not want their installer to know. They may also dislike their current pin code. The good news is the switching to a different pin number is extremely simple. Follow the simple instructions below to learn how.
It is important to note that you need to turn on the ignition but do not start your vehicle! This process only takes a few moments. The vehicle will then return to normal operation.
