Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser is a renowned product that guards your vehicle against key-cloning hacking and theft. This TASSA certified system is inaccessible to thieves and prevents them from starting your vehicle.
This device is silent and uses buttons on your vehicles steering wheel as well as the doors and the centre console to permit you to set a unique PIN sequence that can be changed up to 20 characters that must be entered first before the car is able to start.
Easy to install
With car crime increasing and cloning equipment readily available it is more important than ever to safeguard your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a discreet and effective aftermarket solution to protect against key-cloning & car theft. The device is almost indestructible to thieves, and operates through buttons on the steering wheel or the door panels. This allows customers to create an exclusive disarm sequence that is similar to credit card numbers that must be entered before the vehicle is able to start or be driven away. This makes the system nearly impossible to spot and is not affected by spoofing or jamming devices like those used by other systems on the market.
Installation of the Ghost unit requires a highly skilled installer. The unit is carefully incorporated into your vehicle's network of CAN buses which ensures it can communicate directly to the ECU. This allows the Ghost to be installed without having to alter the factory settings, and also ensures that it can't be hacked by a criminal using signal boosters or other techniques.
After the Ghost is installed it is necessary to input a new and improved disarming sequence to activate your vehicle. This can be done by pressing the service button in your vehicle 5 times in 2 seconds, while ensuring that it is not being held for a prolonged period of time. The system will flash twice to indicate that Transport Mode is active. Continue Reading is ideal for classic, sports and luxury vehicles that require their security systems to be temporarily disabled while transport or servicing.
When the Transport Mode is activated your immobiliser will become removed and you will not be able to activate it again by entering the PIN code. This feature is perfect for those who wish to store their car during the winter months, thus preventing it from being stolen by thieves, or being liable for monthly insurance premiums that increase.
There are no key-fobs, LEDs or other indicators to reveal its location
The Ghost immobiliser guards your vehicle from thieves using buttons on the dashboard or on the steering wheel. You can enter a pin number without being noticed prior to starting the engine. It wards off attacks using signal relays, ECU swapping and key cloning and can be linked to a smartphone application that allows remote arming and disarming. It's simple to install and can be fitted into a wide range of vehicles. It is also very stealthy and can be concealed in hard-to-reach places like behind the dashboard or within the trim on the steering wheel.
This is a fantastic option for vehicles with high performance because it can shut off your vehicle's ignition if incorrect pin code is entered. This stops thieves from stealing your joy and pride. The device will notify smartphones if the vehicle is left unattended when in public. This will give you peace of mind when you are away from your car.
The Ghost is different from other immobilisers as it doesn't require any additional fobs or LED indicators. It can also be hidden in a difficult-to-reach area of your vehicle. It works by communicating directly with the vehicle's CAN data network, making it highly resistant to detection. It also doesn't emit any radio signals, so it's undetectable by RF scanners or signal jammers.
It is designed to be tamper-proof and weatherproof. It can also withstand extreme temperatures. It's also impossible to be tampered with by cutting the wires, or by removing it. It's also inaccessible to organized gangs of thieves that use diagnostics reading equipment to detect security systems. It's not affected by diagnostic equipment that checks the CAN data to determine whether there is or absence of security systems.
No circuit cuts
The ghost device does not have any LED indicators or key fobs to indicate its place of operation. It is hidden under the steering wheel, dashboard or dashboard of your vehicle and makes use of buttons to create an unique PIN sequence that needs to be entered to start the engine. This means that even if the person who stole your keys does have them, they are unable to drive the vehicle away since they do not be aware of the correct PIN sequence. The device cannot transmit radio signals, so organized gangs of thieves who use diagnostics reading tools will be in a position to not be able to recognize it.
This advanced immobiliser, that is also TASSA-approved, can assist you in reducing your insurance costs. This is particularly true for modified vehicles whose owners have customised. It also prevents key theft and ECU switching, which means the only way for a thief to take your pride and joy is to pull it away.
The system is completely silent since it does not utilize the buttons on the dashboard or factory keys. It communicates with the ECU via the CAN data circuit, which is completely silent and does not provide any indication that it has been installed. This means that thieves cannot replace the ECU or even add new key fobs to get your car running.
Should you ever forget your PIN code our engineers will have provided you with an emergency reset option for the device, which allows you to enter'service mode'. This allows an expert or dealer to temporarily start and drive your vehicle, allowing them to perform maintenance work, MOTs, or valet parking. After the technician has completed their task or you have removed your vehicle, simply enter the PIN code and the device will go out of service mode depending on the speed and time.
No radio signals
In contrast to other security systems the Ghost immobiliser does not rely on an alarm system or key fobs to stop vehicles from starting. Instead it communicates with vehicle's ECU and CAN data circuits to prevent the engine from starting. This makes it a discrete solution that isn't affected by key cloning or RF scanning techniques employed by thieves to circumvent other security devices. It can also be used with tracking systems to enhance the overall safety of your vehicle and can warn you of any attempted tampering or theft.
The Autowatch Ghost is a TASSA-certified device that is approved by insurance and offers superior protection against key hacking cloning, and even stealing. It is controlled by an app for mobile devices and is secured to ensure security. It also has an encrypted emergency PIN code override. It is a discreet efficient and cost-effective way to protect your vehicle from theft.
Ghost isn't without its problems. One common issue is that users have difficulty to enter the correct disarm sequence. This is because the device requires input from buttons already in your vehicle, such as those on the steering wheel or center console. This isn't easy for drivers to remember, or they might get it wrong the first time. It is best to read the manual included with the device and then practice the disarming procedure before driving.
Another issue is that some vehicles have issues with the CAN data connection, which can affect the functionality of the Ghost. This could be caused by defective sensors or a damaged OBD port. It is best to test the system again before using it, in the event that the CAN connector 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 confusing. The device is pre-programmed via the installer when it's installed but sometimes customers might need to change this setting for a variety of reasons like they'd prefer to use a different button to deactivate the device, they don't want their installer to know, or they just simply don't like their current pin number. It's simple to change your pin number. Follow these simple steps to learn how.
It is important to note that you need to turn off the ignition but DO NOT start your vehicle! This process will take only a few moments. The vehicle will then return to normal operation.
