Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

Ghost Immobiliser will safeguard your prized property from theft. This system is discreet & doesn't require additional key fobs in order to operate.

The device utilizes buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels, door panels and centre console) to generate a unique pin code sequence that can be altered up to 20 times. This then authorizes the vehicle to start.

Simple PIN code Change Process

With the increasing rate of vehicle theft, a lot of owners are looking to upgrade their security. There are many types of aftermarket security devices available, from tracking systems to immobilisers and alarms. They're not all equally effective in protecting your car. While a tracking system may assist in finding your vehicle in the event of theft, it can not stop the crime from happening in the first instance. Immobilisers, in contrast, do exactly what they state on the label - they shut down the motor of your car to prevent it from being started. The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced options available, making it almost impossible for thieves steal your vehicle.

The Ghost 11 Immobiliser device uses the buttons on your car to create a unique sequence which must be entered to allow the engine to begin. This can be accomplished using the indicator stalk, window or heater buttons. In addition it is possible to use a mobile app which can act as an emergency PIN code bypass and allow the driver to operate the car without having to use the button sequence. This is a great solution when you wish to donate your car to valet parking or for maintenance. The immobiliser remains active.

The Ghost is an unique and innovative device that operates with the buttons on your vehicle rather than as a standalone unit. This means that it's not just a highly effective deterrent against vehicle theft but can also be transferred to any future vehicles you may own, making it much more of an investment than traditional steering wheel locks.

Weatherproof tiny device

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is a sophisticated security system that protects your car from key cloning, hacking & ECU swapping. It is a weatherproof tiny device that connects directly to your vehicle's ECU over the CAN data bus, which disables the engine. It can be placed in the vehicle without the need for additional wiring and has been extensively tested to make sure it is compatible with all vehicles. It is also indestructible to jamming devices, which is a common technique used by thieves to bypass existing immobilisers.

The advantage of CAN data over conventional systems is that they operate silently. It isn't detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technologies and is also undetectable by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost does not use LED indicators, but instead uses buttons on your vehicle, like the steering wheel, centre console or door panels, to create unique sequences for disarming. The sequence can be extended by 20 or more presses for extra security. The iPhone app permits only one, authenticated connection using the pairing code unique to the Ghost and communication between the two is encrypted.

The Ghost stops car thieves from adding an ignition key replacement or replacing the ECU in order to bypass the immobiliser. The engine will only run only if a valid PIN has been entered. It is possible to operate temporarily in the Valet/Service mode (with the appropriate parameters, like 30mph speed limit) which means you can offer your vehicle to an attendant or valet without entering an entry code.

Every vehicle is tested

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket immobiliser on the CAN bus that can be connected to the wiring of your vehicle and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device is able to intercept signals and prevent your car from operating normally until you enter a customized code. The system can be activated and deactivated by using your smartphone's app without the need for wires.

Standard factory immobilisers for vehicles function by using a transponder built into the key, which sends a signal to the ECU. The car will start if the correct code is transmitted. However, if a transponder of a different vehicle is used instead, the immobiliser doesn't recognize it. This allows the vehicle start and be stolen. A South African company that is at the forefront of safety systems technology created the Ghost immobiliser. It protects you from hacking or key cloning, and even key theft. The only way that a burglar could take your car is physically towing it away, and even then they would not be capable of driving it.

installing ghost immobiliser uses the buttons in your vehicle including the indicator stalk as well as the steering wheel and door panels to generate an unique PIN code that is changeable that must be entered before you can use your car. This is done without any extra hardware, such as a keyfob. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also undetectable to diagnostics equipment and doesn't transmit radio frequency signals, which means thieves are unable to use sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing techniques to determine if security systems have been installed.

Ghost is harder to remove than car alarms, which require disarming by pressing the buttons. This makes it a perfect complement to a GPS tracker that can assist in locating your vehicle after it has been taken.

Emergency PIN code override

You do not have to look too far on social media sites to find stories or even videos of vehicles that have been stolen by car thieves using the most advanced technology tools available to them. This includes key-cloning devices as well as hacking tools that allow them to start the vehicle without your original keys.

The Ghost immobiliser helps combat this and gives you an additional layer of security to stop your vehicle from being taken if it is targeted by thieves. It creates a unique pin code by pushing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel, and the centre console. The unique pin code is entered along with your original key fob to stop the engine from getting started. The unique override pin can be found on a black plastic card that you receive following your installation. It is simple to remember because there aren't any LED indicators.

The device is hidden inside the vehicle's wires, and does not emit radio signals, which means it isn't able to be identified by modern thieves with diagnostic software that can recognise what type of security system you have installed. This makes it a great alternative to the tracker.

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

They can also be linked to a separate alarm, immobiliser or tracker. This should be specified prior to installation. They are also service/valet-mode compatible and are a great alternative to a tracker you are taking your car in for repairs to an electrical issue at the dealer.

Service/Valet Mode

In recent times there has been an rise in the number of vehicles being stolen with no owner's keys. It's now easier than ever before to steal your pride & joy due to the availability of key cloning tools & door lock picks. We have developed the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It prevents your vehicle from being driven even if you keys have been cloned.

It communicates directly with your car's ECU (Engine Control Unit) through the data loop of CAN. It's completely quiet since it doesn't use radio frequency or keys fobs. This means it cannot be detected by diagnostics or any other car hacking devices. It also stops you from introducing a new ECU or key to circumvent the system, since only the PIN code allows the engine to be started.

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

This is the first aftermarket immobiliser for CAN bus to be designed to stop your car from being moved away or even started if a PIN code isn't entered before. If you are driving away with the device armed it will display an indicator on your dashboard and flash continuously for about 300m. Entering your PIN code will turn off the anti-hijack. Your vehicle will continue to operate normally. If you do not enter your PIN at this point, the warning will continue to flash and require a new PIN code for every attempt to start your vehicle.
