Easy to install
It is more crucial than ever to secure your vehicle. With car thefts increasing, and cloning devices readily available, it's essential to protect your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a discreet and effective aftermarket solution to guard against key-cloning and vehicle theft. The unit is virtually undetectable to thieves and works through buttons on the steering wheel and door panels as well as the centre console. This allows customers to make an individual disarm sequence similar to credit cards, which have to be completed before the vehicle can start or be driven away. conversational tone makes the system virtually impossible to spot and is unaffected by spoofing or jamming devices as used with other systems available.
Installation of the Ghost unit requires a highly-skilled installer. The unit is carefully incorporated into the CAN bus network of your vehicle, ensuring that it communicates directly with the ECU. This allows the Ghost to be installed without having to alter factory settings and ensures that it can't be hacked by a criminal using signal boosters or other methods.
After the Ghost is fitted with a new and improved disarm sequence is required to be inputted in order to start your car. Press the service button five times in a matter of 2 seconds, but ensure you don't press it for too long. The system will flash twice to indicate that Transport Mode is active. This feature is great for classic, sports and prestige vehicles that need to have their security system temporarily disabled during transportation or maintenance.
After Transport Mode is activated, the immobiliser is disabled and cannot be reactivated by entering your PIN code again. This feature is ideal for those who would like to store their vehicles during the winter to prevent theft, or to avoid having to pay higher insurance premiums.
No key-fobs or LED indications to indicate the location of the vehicle.
The Ghost immobiliser guards your vehicle from thieves using buttons on the steering wheel or dashboard. You can enter a pin code without being noticed before starting the engine. It prevents signal relay attacks, ECU swapping and key cloning and can be linked to a smartphone app to arm/disarm remotely. It's easy to install and can be integrated into a wide range of vehicles. It's also extremely discreet and can be hidden in difficult-to-access places, such as behind the dashboard or within the trim on the steering wheel.
This is a great choice for vehicles that are high-performance because it can shut off your vehicle's ignition in the event that the wrong pin code has been entered. This prevents thieves from stealing your pride and joy. The device will even send an alert to your mobile when you've left the vehicle unattended in public areas, giving you peace of mind when you're away from your vehicle.
Unlike other immobilisers, the Ghost doesn't require any extra fobs or LED indications It can be concealed easily in a hard-to-reach location within your vehicle. It works by directly communicating with the vehicle's CAN data network, which makes it highly resistant to detection. It doesn't emit radio signals so it is undetectable by RF scanners or signal jammers.
It is designed to be weatherproof and tamper-proof. It can also stand up to extreme temperatures. It's also impossible to tamper with by cutting wires or dismantling the device. Furthermore, it doesn't require any circuit cutting to function, which means it's inaccessible to organised thief gangs that utilize diagnostics reading devices to detect security systems that are fitted. It's also not affected by professional auto diagnostics equipment that examines the CAN data system for the presence of an alarm device.
No circuit cuts
The device is not have any LED indicators or key fobs that would indicate its whereabouts. It is hidden under the steering wheel or dashboard of your vehicle and makes use of buttons to create a unique PIN sequence that has to be entered to start the engine. The thief is unable to drive away the vehicle even if they have keys to your car because they do not know the correct code. The device cannot transmit radio signals, and therefore organised gangs of thieves using diagnostics reading tools will be in a position to not be able to recognize it.
This advanced immobiliser, that is also TASSA-approved can aid in reducing your insurance rates. This is particularly relevant to vehicles that owners have customized. It also stops key cloning theft and ECU swapping, which means that the only way a criminal can steal your pride and joy is to take it away.
The system is completely quiet as it does not use the factory keys or dashboard buttons. It communicates with the ECU by using the CAN data circuit, which is completely silent and does not provide any indication that it has been installed. This means a thief can't replace the ECU or add new key fobs to allow your car started.
If you've forgotten your PIN code, our engineers have provided you with a reset emergency for the device that allows you to enter "service mode". This allows the technician or dealer to temporarily start and drive your car which allows them to complete maintenance work, MOTs, or valet parking without needing to enter the PIN code once more. When the technician is 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
The Ghost immobiliser, in contrast to other car security systems does not rely on an alarm system or keyfobs to prevent vehicles from beginning. Instead it communicates with vehicle's ECU and CAN data circuits to prevent the engine from starting. It is a discreet solution, which is not affected by key-cloning techniques or radio frequency scanning techniques used by thieves to get around security devices. It can be used in conjunction with tracking devices to increase the safety of your vehicle. You will also receive alerts if there is any attempt to alter or steal.
The Autowatch Ghost, a TASSA certified device, is insurance approved and provides the best protection against key hacking and the cloning. It uses a mobile application to control the device. It is secured to ensure security. It also has a secure emergency PIN code override. It is an effective cost-effective, private and discreet way to safeguard your vehicle from theft.
Ghost isn't without its problems. A common issue is that users have difficulty to enter the correct disarm sequence. This is because the device requires input via buttons already in your vehicle, for example those on the steering wheel or center console. This could be difficult for people to remember, or they may make a mistake the first time. It is best to read the manual included with the device, and practice the disarming procedure before driving.
A second issue is that some vehicles have issues with CAN data connections, which can impact Ghost's performance. This can be caused by defective sensors, or an abrasive OBD connector. It is best to check the system before using it, in the event that the CAN connector is faulty.
Easy to change PIN code
The Ghost is a great product that has become a huge hit on the market. However, the process of changing the pin code can be confusing. The device is programmed by the installer once it's fitted however there are occasions when people need to change this setting due to a variety of reasons, such as: they would prefer a different button to disarm the device, they don't want their installer to know or they just simply don't like the pin number they have currently. The good news is the switching to a different pin number is incredibly easy. Follow the steps below to find out how.
Please note that you must switch on the ignition of your vehicle but do not start the engine! The process only takes just a few seconds to complete. The vehicle will then return to normal operation.
