Why Everyone Is Talking About Ghost Immobiliser Problems Right Now

Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

Ghost Immobiliser will protect your prized item from theft. This system is discreet & does not require any additional key fobs to operate.

The device makes use of buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels, door panels and 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 gadgets that are sold aftermarket, from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. However there are a few that are equally efficient in protecting your vehicle. A tracking device can help you locate your car if it is stolen however it cannot prevent the crime. Immobilisers, on the contrary are exactly what they state on the tin: they shut down the motor of your car to prevent it from being started. The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced options available on the market, making it virtually impossible for thieves to take your car.

The ghost device makes use of the buttons on your car to generate an unique sequence that needs to be entered in order for the engine to begin. This can be done using the heater, window or indicator stalk buttons. Additionally it is possible to use an app for mobile devices that acts as an emergency PIN code bypass and allow the driver to operate the car without the button sequence. This option is particularly beneficial if you have to hand your car over for valet parking or maintenance, as the immobiliser will still be activated, but not disabled.

The Ghost is an unique and innovative device that works by using your vehicle's buttons rather than as a standalone device. It is not only an effective deterrent for vehicle theft and vandalism, but it can also be used on any future vehicles you own. This makes it a much better investment than a conventional wheel lock.

Weatherproof tiny device

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is a high-tech security system that protects your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and ECU swapping. It's a weatherproof, tiny device that connects directly to your vehicle's ECU over the CAN data bus, which disables the engine. It can be fitted into the vehicle without additional wiring and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It also is resistant to jamming devices that are the most common method used by thieves to get around existing immobilisers.

The advantage of using CAN data is that it runs silently in comparison to conventional systems. It is not able to be detected by sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing technologies, nor can it be detected by traditional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost doesn't emit LEDs, but instead utilizes the buttons on your vehicle such as steering wheel or centre console panels to create a unique, programmable disarm sequence. You can create a sequence that is up to 20 presses long to increase security. The iPhone app only allows one connection, and comes with the Ghost's unique pairing code. the Ghost. All communication between the two devices is secured.

The Ghost also prevents thieves from stealing a new key or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser and start the engine. The engine will only start when a valid PIN code is entered. It can also be put in valet/service mode to allow for temporary operation (with defined parameters like a 30mph speed limit) to allow you to hand your car over to a valet service or for maintenance without having to enter a PIN code.

Tested for each vehicle

The Autowatch ghost car immobiliser is a world-first aftermarket immobiliser for CANbus. It can be connected to the wiring of your vehicle and also to the engine control unit (ECU). The device detects signals to prevent your car from operating normally until you enter a customized code. The system can be turned on and off through your smartphone's app without the need for wires.

The factory-installed immobilisers function by using a transponder that is integrated into the key. It transmits a message to the ECU. The car will begin to start if the correct code is transmitted. If, however, the transponder from another vehicle is used instead, the immobiliser doesn't recognize it. This allows the vehicle be stolen and started. The Ghost immobiliser has been developed by a South African company at the top of security systems for vehicles technology. It shields your pride and joy from key cloning, hacking and even key theft. Only by physically towing your vehicle away could a thief get it and not be able drive it.

Ghost uses buttons on your vehicle, including the indicator stalk, steering wheel, and the door panels, to create unique PIN codes that must be entered to use your vehicle. It does this without additional hardware, like a keyfob. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also unrecognizable by diagnostic equipment and does transmit radio frequency signals, which means thieves cannot make use of sophisticated RF scanners or code-grabbing technologies to detect that a system has been installed.

In contrast to the physical devices that prevent theft, such as clamps or wheel locks, Ghost is hidden within the vehicle, so it cannot be taken away or disabled by thieves. It is more difficult to remove than a car alarm that requires disarming via an action sequence. This makes it a great complement to a GPS tracker, which can help locate your car after it's been stolen.

Override of emergency PIN code

You don't have to look far on social media to find stories or videos of vehicles that have been stolen using the most advanced technology tools. This includes key-cloning devices and hacking tools that allow thieves to start the vehicle without your original keys.

Our Ghost immobiliser fights this issue and offers an additional layer of protection to stop your vehicle from being taken when it is targeted by thieves. It generates a unique pin code when pushing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel and on the centre console. The unique pin code is entered alongside your original key fob to stop the engine from beginning. The unique PIN for override can be found on the black card you will receive following installation and is 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. This means it can't be detected by diagnostic software which can identify the security system you have installed. This makes it a fantastic alternative to an electronic device for tracking.

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

It is also possible to connect a separate analog immobiliser, alarm or tracker with these systems, however this must be specified prior to installing the device. They also work with service/valet modes and is a great alternative to a tracking device when you bring your vehicle to the dealer for an electrical issue.

Service/Valet mode

In recent times, there has been an increase in vehicles being stolen without the owners keys. It's easier than ever before to steal your pride and joy due to the availability of key cloning devices and door lock picks. We have created the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It prevents your vehicle from being driven even if your keys have been cloned.

It connects directly to your cars ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN data circuit. It's completely silent as it does not use radio frequencies or key fobs. This means it isn't detected by diagnostics or any other car hacking devices. It also stops you from adding an ECU or key to bypass the system, since only the PIN code allows the engine to start.

The device is hidden in your vehicle and is accessible via buttons on your steering wheel, center console and door panels. A unique and changeable PIN code sequence up to 20 digits has to be entered prior to being able to start your vehicle.

This is the first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser for the market that is being designed. It will prevent your vehicle from being driven or started in the event that you do not enter a PIN number first. If the device is armed and you attempt to drive off it will display a warning on your dash that will flash on a regular basis for approximately 300m, if you enter your PIN code during this time, it will disable the anti-hijack device and your car will continue to drive as normal. If you do not enter your PIN at this point, the indicator will keep flashing & will require a new PIN code for every attempt to start your car.
