Stop/Start

Ghost Immobilisers protect vehicles from being stolen by blocking the engine from starting unless it receives the correct PIN code. This is done without modification to the vehicle and is totally undetectable to thieves. The unit is directly connected to the ECU through the CAN databus to immobilise a vehicle. This system is similar to the one that automobile manufacturers have used in their cars for many years however, the criminal isn't able to add a key or utilize key relay technology to bypass it like they can with factory fitted systems.

Ghost is compatible with any vehicle that has an engine, which includes cars, vans, motorhomes, caravans, and bikes. The same system is also compatible with electric vehicles. It's a great alternative to wheel clamps and steering wheel locks.

If the Ghost is activated it will block all buttons in your car, preventing the ignition from being started without the PIN code. You can enter the code by hand or using the Android or Apple app. If the incorrect code is entered the app will show an indicator light. The Ghost will then refuse to let the vehicle to be restarted. This is a great way to discourage thieves. If the vehicle cannot be started, they will move on.

It is also simple to remove if you choose to change vehicles, or give it to an auto repair shop or valet parking. It is a fully TASSA (Tracking and Aftermarket Security Systems Association) insurance-approved system that is recognized by a number of insurance companies. It also comes with a safe emergency Pin Code override and features the Service/Valet Mode which can be activated by pressing a button on the app or with your key fob.

Disarm

Unlike the mechanical anti-theft devices, which are able to be removed and reinstalled, ghost immobilisers are concealed and are integrated into the car. They are virtually impossible to bypass or hack and even if discovered, thieves cannot start the engine. This is because a ghost immobiliser blocks key cloning, signal jamming and device spoofing, all of which are methods that are used frequently by thieves to gain access to cars fitted with standard immobilisers.

The immobiliser sends a code to the ECU. If a wrong code is received and the vehicle is not launched as the engine won't start up. Although it is possible to disable the ghost immobiliser by using a software tool this is very lengthy and complicated. The software can only be installed and operated by a authorised installer.

The autowatch ghost 2 immobiliser immobiliser, a small device, is hidden in the wiring loom of the vehicle. It is inaccessible to the naked eye once installed. It does not appear on diagnostic systems. There are no LED indicators and it isn't able to communicate with the engine via the OBD port. It communicates without sound via the CAN data circuit.

The system will not allow the vehicle to start unless it is provided with an input PIN code that is entered by the user. This can be entered using buttons on the steering wheel or door panels, or on the centre console. This is a safer way to protect your car since it doesn't require keys or remote control.

In addition to this Ghost has an option for service that can be activated using the application on your mobile phone. This allows you to hand over your keys to someone for service or valet parking without having to enter the disarm sequence.

Anti-Hijack

The anti-hijack function is a key feature of the Ghost Immobiliser 2. This system works like an intelligent key and is one of the most secure ways to protect your vehicle from theft. Whenever the ignition switch is turned to on, and the car remains stationary for a period of 30 seconds, the Ghost system will automatically stop the engine and turn on the warning lights on. This gives the driver and passengers enough time to press the security button before the system can be activated.

The Ghost system, unlike many competitors, uses a timer and controller unit that shuts off the valve that shuts off fuel after a predetermined time. This happens regardless of whether the ignition remains on. This delay time period needs to be long enough to allow the hijacked owner of the vehicle to move away from the location of the incident and to maintain a sufficient distance from the stalled vehicle before the system is able to reactivate.

In addition to the standard CANbus immobiliser blocking capabilities of the Ghost system, it comes with an extra security feature that blocks common methods of hacking that are used to hack into modern cars such as relay attacks keys range extending, relay attacks and ECU swapping. This is due to the fact that the Ghost system communicates silently and doesn't emit any signals that can be detected by a thief using RF scanning or code grabbing technology.

The Ghost system also has the option of a Service/Valet mode that allows your vehicle to be temporarily re-started and driven without the requirement of a PIN code. This is ideal when you park your vehicle and only need to leave it briefly in order to open the garage door or place groceries in the boot. The system will then exit the service mode according to speed and time or through the simple input of a PIN code process. This gives you complete security that only YOU are able to drive your vehicle!

The immobilisers can be installed discreetly in your vehicle, leaving no marks and are completely inaccessible to the tools hi-tech thieves use.
