Secure your prized possessions from theft by using the Ghost Immobiliser. It is discreet and doesn't require additional key fobs.

The device utilizes buttons on your vehicle (steering wheel, door panels & centre console) to create a unique pin code sequence that can be up to 20 presses. This will then allow your vehicle to begin.

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 different types of security products that are available for sale including tracking systems, alarms and immobilisers. However, not all of these are equally effective in protecting your car. While a tracking system can help you find your car in the event of theft, it does not prevent the crime from happening in the first place. Immobilisers, on the contrary perform exactly as they state on the label - they shut down the motor of your car so that it can't be started. The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced options available, making it almost impossible for thieves steal your vehicle.

Using the existing buttons in your car The ghost device is able to create a unique sequence which must be entered before the engine can start. This can be done using the indicator stalk, window or heater buttons. There is also a mobile application that can be used as an emergency PIN override, allowing the driver to operate their car without the need to use the button sequence. This is an excellent option when you wish to donate your car to valet parking or for servicing. The immobiliser will stay active.

The Ghost is an innovative and unique device that works by using the buttons on your vehicle rather than as a standalone device. It's not just an effective deterrent to vehicle theft however, it can be used on future vehicles you own. This makes it a far better investment than a traditional wheel lock.

Small, weatherproof device

The Autowatch auto ghost 2 immobiliser cost immobiliser (more..) immobiliser is a high-tech security system that protects your pride and joy against key cloning, hacking and ECU swapping. It is a tiny, weatherproof device that communicates with the ECU of your vehicle directly through the CAN bus to stop the motor. It can be installed in the vehicle without the need for extra wiring and has been thoroughly tested to ensure it is compatible with all vehicles. It is also resistant against jamming devices which are a typical method used by car thieves to circumvent immobilisers.

The advantage of CAN data over traditional systems is that they operate silently. It isn't detected by sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing techniques as well as identified by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost doesn't emit LED indications and uses the buttons in your vehicle such as steering wheel or centre console panels to create a unique, customizable disarm sequence. The sequence can be extended up to 20 presses to provide additional security. The iPhone app allows one, authorized connection using the pairing code unique to the Ghost and the communication between the two is secured.

The Ghost will stop car thieves from putting in an ignition key replacement or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser. It will only allow the engine to start if the correct PIN code is entered. It can also be put into Valet/Service mode for temporary operation (with specified parameters, such as a 30mph speed limit) so that you can transfer your vehicle to a valet service for maintenance without having to enter a PIN code.

Every vehicle is tested

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CANbus immobiliser. It can be connected to the wiring of your vehicle and also to the engine control unit (ECU). The device is able to intercept signals and prevent your car from operating normally until you enter a specific code. The system can be activated or deactivated using your own smartphone app without the need for additional wires.

Standard factory immobilisers on vehicles work by having a transponder inside the key, which sends an indication to the ECU. The car will start if the correct code is sent. If, however, the transponder from another vehicle is used instead, the immobiliser won't recognise it. This makes it possible for the vehicle to be started and stolen. A South African company that is at the forefront of vehicle safety systems technology created the Ghost immobiliser. It safeguards your pride and joy from hacking, key cloning and even key theft. Only by physically towing your car away could a thief get it, and they would still not be able to drive the vehicle.

Ghost makes use of buttons in your vehicle, such as the indicator stalk, the steering wheel, and the doors, to generate a unique PIN code that must be entered in order to use your car. This is done without any extra hardware, such as key fobs. It can take up to 20 presses. It is also undetectable to diagnostics equipment and does not transmit radio frequency signals, which means thieves are not able to make use of sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing techniques to determine if the security system has been installed.

In contrast to the physical devices that prevent theft, such as wheel locks or clamps, Ghost is covertly integrated into the vehicle to ensure that it can't be taken away or disabled by thieves. It is more difficult to remove from a car alarm which requires disarming with the use of a button sequence. This makes it a great complement to an GPS tracking device that can be used to track your vehicle after it's been stolen.

Override of emergency PIN code

You don't have to go far on social media to see stories or even videos of vehicles that have been stolen by thieves using the most advanced technology tools available to them. This includes key-cloning devices as well as hacking tools that allow thieves to start the car without your original keys.

Our Ghost immobiliser fights this and provides you with an additional layer of security to prevent your vehicle from being taken if it is targeted by thieves. It creates an individual pin code by pressing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel, and on the centre console. This unique PIN has to be entered together with your original key fob in order to stop the vehicle from getting started. The unique override pin can be found on a black card that you will receive after the installation. It is simple to remember since there aren't any LED indicators.

The device is hidden inside the vehicle's wires, and does not emit radio signals, which means it cannot be detected by modern criminals with diagnostic software that can identify the security system you have installed. This makes it an excellent alternative to the tracking device.

Contrary to most security systems that use an engine relay bay, these CANBUS Immobilisers connect with the car's ECU and BCM via CAN data bus (brand dependant). This allows them to disable the vehicle completely with the use of a digital block of commands for both the ECU and the engine.

They can also be connected to a separate alarm immobiliser, tracker or alarm. This must be specified prior to installation. They are also compatible with valet and service modes, and are is a great alternative to a tracker device when you take your car into the dealer for an electrical problem.

Service/Valet mode

In recent years there has been a rise in the number of vehicles that are stolen without owners' keys. It's now easier than ever before to take your joy and pride due to the availability of key cloning tools and door lock picks. To stop this, we now offer the Autowatch Ghost immobiliser that prevents your vehicle from being driven even if your keys were cloned or your vehicle has been hijacked.

It connects directly to your car's ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN data circuit. It's completely silent since it doesn't use radio frequencies or keys fobs. It cannot be detected using diagnostics or any other hacking device. It also stops you from adding an ECU or key to circumvent the system, because only the PIN number allows the engine to be started.

The device is concealed inside your car, using buttons on the steering wheel, centre console and door panels. A unique and changeable PIN code sequence up to 20 digits needs to be entered before you are able to start your vehicle.

This is the first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser for the market that has been created. It will prevent your vehicle from being driven or started when you don't enter a PIN number first. If you are driving away with the device in motion, an indicator will appear on your dashboard and flash continuously for about 300m. Entering your PIN code will deactivate the anti-hijack. Your car will continue to run just as normal. If you do not enter your PIN at this time the indicator will continue to flash and require a new PIN every time you try to start your vehicle.
