Guard your precious possessions from theft by using the Ghost Immobiliser. This system is discrete and does not require additional key fobs.

The device makes use of buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels doors, door panels and the centre console) to create a unique pin code sequence that can be modified up to 20 times. This will allow your vehicle to start.

Simple PIN code change process

With the growing rate of vehicle theft, a lot of owners are looking to upgrade their security. There are many kinds of security products that are available for sale that range from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. However they do not all are equally efficient in protecting your vehicle. While a tracking system may assist in finding your car in the case of theft, it will not stop the crime from occurring in the first instance. Immobilisers, however are exactly what they say 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 on the market, making it nearly impossible for thieves to steal your vehicle.

The ghost immobiliser fitter device uses the buttons on your car to create an unique sequence that needs to be entered in order for the engine to start. This can be accomplished by using the window, heater or indicator stalk buttons. In addition option, there is a mobile app which can function as an emergency PIN code override and allows the driver to operate the car without using the button sequence. This is a great solution for those who want to offer your car to valet parking or maintenance. The immobiliser will stay in operation.

The ghost 2 immobiliser near me is an unique and innovative device that operates with the buttons on your vehicle rather than as a standalone unit. This means it's not only a highly effective protection against theft of your vehicle, but can also be transferred over to any future cars you own, making it more valuable than traditional steering wheel locks.

Small device that is weatherproof

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is a sophisticated security system that guards your pride and joy against key cloning, hacking & ECU swapping. It's a small, weatherproof device that communicates with the ECU of your vehicle directly via the CAN bus, causing it to shut down the motor. It can be installed in the vehicle without the need for additional wiring and has been thoroughly tested to ensure that it works with all vehicles. It is also resistant to jamming devices, which is a common technique used by car thieves to circumvent existing immobilisers.

The advantage of using CAN data is that it operates in a silent manner in comparison to conventional systems. It cannot be detected using sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing technologies and cannot be recognized by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost 2 immobiliser installation does not employ LED indicators but instead utilizes buttons in your vehicle, such as the steering wheel, centre console, or doors, to create an unique sequence of disarming. The sequence can be extended to up to 20 presses to provide additional security. The iPhone app lets you make only one, authenticated connection, with a pairing code that is unique to the Ghost and communication between the two is secured.

The Ghost prevents car thieves adding an ignition key replacement or replacing the ECU in order to bypass the immobiliser. The engine can only be started when a valid PIN code is entered. It is able to be operated temporarily in valet or service mode (with the appropriate parameters, like 30mph speed limit) which means you can hand your car to valet or service without needing to enter a code.

Tested for each vehicle

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket immobiliser CANbus. It can be connected to the vehicle's wiring and to the engine control unit (ECU). The device is able to intercept signals and stop your car from starting up normally until you enter a custom code. The system can be turned on or off by using your smartphone app, without the need for extra wires.

Standard factory immobilisers on automobiles function through a transponder inside the key that sends an indication to the ECU. The car will start when the correct code is transmitted. If, however, the transponder from a different vehicle is used instead, the immobiliser will not recognize it. This makes it possible for the vehicle to be stolen and started. The Ghost immobiliser was developed by a South African company at the top of the line in vehicle security technology. It protects your pride and joy from hacking, key cloning and even key theft. Only by physically towing your vehicle away from thieves could they steal it, and they would still not be able to drive the vehicle.

Ghost makes use of buttons on your vehicle, such as the indicator stalk, the steering wheel, and door panels, to generate unique PIN codes that needs to be entered in order to use your vehicle. This is not required to use additional hardware, such as a key-fob and can be as long as 20 presses long. It is also undetectable to diagnostics equipment and doesn't transmit radio frequency signals, which means thieves cannot utilize sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing techniques to determine if a security system has been installed.

Ghost is more difficult to get rid of than car alarms that require disarming by pressing several buttons. This makes it a great complement to a GPS tracker that can assist in locating your car after it's been stolen.

Override of emergency PIN code

You don't have to look far on social media for stories or videos about cars that have been stolen with the most advanced technology tools. This includes key-cloning devices as well as hacking tools that allow them to start the vehicle with your original keys.

The Ghost immobiliser has been specifically designed to prevent this and offer an additional layer of security in order to protect your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It works by creating an individual pin code sequence that is triggered by your buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, and the centre console. The unique pin code is entered alongside the original key fob to prevent the engine from beginning. The unique override pin is on the black card that you will receive following your installation. It's easy to remember since there aren't any LEDs.

The device is hidden in the wiring of the vehicle and doesn't emit radio signals. Therefore, it cannot be detected by diagnostic software which can identify the type of security system you have installed. This makes it an excellent alternative to a tracker.

In contrast to other security systems which use a relay in engine bay, these CANBUS immobilisers communicate via CAN databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the vehicle. This allows them to shut down the vehicle completely by sending a digital block to the ECU and engine.

It is also possible to connect an analogue immobiliser, alarm or tracker to these systems but this must be specified prior to Installing Ghost Immobiliser the device. They are also fully service/valet mode-compatible and are a great alternative to a tracker if you are you are taking your car in for repairs to an electrical issue at the dealership.

Service/Valet mode

In recent years there has been an increase in vehicles being stolen without the owners keys. With easy access to key cloning tools and door lock pick sets, it is now easier than ever for thieves to take your pride and joy. We have created the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It stops your car from being driven, even if you keys have been copied.

It connects directly to your car's ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN data circuit. It is completely silent, because it does not utilize radio frequencies or key fobs. This means that it can't be detected by diagnostics or other car hacking devices. It also prevents you from introducing the new ECU or key to bypass the system, as only the PIN code allows the engine to start.

The device is hidden within your car using existing buttons on the steering wheel, centre console & door panels. A unique & changeable PIN code sequence of up to 20 digits has to be entered before you are able to start your car.

This is the first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser that is being developed. It will prevent your vehicle from being driven or started if you don't enter a PIN code before entering. If the device is activated and you try to drive away, it will display an indication on your dash that will flash regularly for around 300m. If you enter your PIN code during this time, it will deactivate the anti-hijack system and your vehicle will continue to operate as normal. If you do not enter your PIN at this point, the indicator will continue to flash and will require a new PIN code for every attempt to start your vehicle.
