Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser is a renowned product that protects your vehicle against key-cloning hacking and theft. This TASSA confirmed system is undetectable to thieves and stops the thieves from starting your vehicle.
This silent device makes use of buttons on your car's steering wheel, doors and the centre console to let you create a unique, PIN code that you can change up to 20 characters. The code must be entered before the car can begin.
Easy to install
With car theft on the rise and cloning equipment readily available it is more crucial than ever to secure your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a discrete and efficient aftermarket solution to protect against key-cloning and car theft. The device is virtually undetectable by thieves and operates via buttons on the steering wheel, door panels or centre console. This enables customers to create a unique sequence of disarming like the credit card which must be entered before the vehicle can be started or driven away. This makes the system almost impossible to spot and is also unaffected by spoofing or jamming devices like those used by other systems available.
The installation of the Ghost unit is a highly skilled process and must only be done by an authorized installer. The unit is carefully incorporated into your vehicle's CAN bus system which ensures it can communicate directly to the ECU. This allows the Ghost to be installed without having to alter factory settings and ensures that it cannot be bypassed by a thief using signal boosters or other techniques.
After ghost immobilise is installed the new and improved sequence to disarm must be inputted to activate your vehicle. This can be done by pressing the service button on your vehicle five times within 2 seconds while making sure that it's not pressed for an extended period of time. The system will then flash twice to indicate that Transport Mode has been activated. This feature is ideal for classic, sports or prestige vehicles that require their security systems to be temporarily disabled while transport or servicing.
Once Transport Mode is activated your immobiliser will become disabled and you cannot activate it again by entering the PIN code. This feature is perfect for those who wish to store their cars during the winter months to keep theft, or to avoid having to pay higher insurance rates.
No LED indicators or key-fobs to indicate the location of the vehicle.
The Ghost immobiliser protects your car from thieves by using buttons on the dashboard or steering wheel. You can enter a pin number without being noticed before starting the engine. It wards off attacks on signal relays, ECU swapping and key cloning and can be linked to a smartphone application that allows remote arming and disarming. It is easy to install and can be put in a wide variety of vehicles. It's also extremely stealthy and can be hidden in a hard-to reach location such as behind the dashboard or within the trim of the steering wheel.
It's a great choice for high-performance cars since it can shut off the ignition of the vehicle when a wrong pin code is entered, thus preventing thieves from driving off with your joy and pride. The device can also send an alert to your mobile when you've left the vehicle without a key in public areas, providing you with peace of mind while you're away from your car.
The Ghost is different from other immobilisers in that it does not require additional fobs or LED indicators. It can also be easily hidden in a hard-to-find area of your vehicle. It communicates directly with the vehicle's CAN data network, making it extremely resistant to detection. It also doesn't emit radio signals, which makes it unnoticeable by RF scanners or signal jammers.
It's made to be tamperproof and weatherproof, and can withstand extreme temperatures. It's also impossible to tamper with by cutting the wires or dismantling the unit. Moreover, it doesn't require any circuit cuts to work so it's undetectable to organized gangs of thiefs who employ diagnostics reading devices to detect the security systems fitted to. It's not affected by diagnostic equipment that analyzes CAN data for the presence or absence of a security system.
No circuit cuts
The ghost device doesn't have any LED indicators or key fobs to indicate its location. It is hidden beneath the steering wheel or dashboard of your vehicle and uses buttons to create a unique PIN sequence that needs to be entered to turn on the engine. The thief is unable to drive away the vehicle even when they have keys to your car because they don't know the correct code. The device also does not transmit radio signals, meaning that organized gangs of thieves using diagnostics devices won't be able to detect the device.
This innovative immobiliser is also TASSA approved and can reduce your insurance costs, particularly for vehicles that have been customised by their owners. It also wards off key cloning theft and ECU swapping, which means that the only way the thief can steal your pride and joy is to remove it.
The system is completely silent as it doesn't use factory keys or dashboard buttons. It communicates with the ECU via the CAN data circuit which is completely silent and does not provide any indication that it's been installed. This means a thief cannot swap out the ECU or install new key fobs to get your car to start.
If you have forgotten your PIN code Our engineers have provided an emergency reset device that lets you enter "service mode". This allows the technician or dealer to temporarily start and drive your car so that they can carry out maintenance work, MOTs, or valet parking without entering the PIN code once more. When the technician is finished their job or you've collected your vehicle, simply enter the PIN code and the device will exit service mode dependent on speed and duration.
No radio signals
In contrast to other security systems, the Ghost immobiliser does not rely on an alarm system or key fobs to prevent vehicles from starting. It communicates with the vehicle's ECU, CAN data circuit and other circuits to stop the engine from starting. This makes it a quiet solution that isn't affected by key cloning techniques or RF scanning techniques employed by thieves to bypass other security devices. It can also be integrated with tracking systems to enhance the overall safety of your vehicle. It can also be alerted to any attempts at tampering or theft.
The Autowatch Ghost, a TASSA certified device, is an insurance-approved, and offers the best security against key hacking as well as cloning. It is controlled by an app on mobile devices and is encrypted for security. It has a secure emergency PIN override. It's a safe cost-effective, private and discreet way to protect your car from theft.
However, the Ghost is not without problems. One of the most frequent issues is that people struggle to get into the right disarm sequence. This is because the device requires input through buttons already located in your vehicle, for example those on the steering wheel or on the centre console. Users might find this difficult to remember or make a mistake particularly when the device is being used for the first time. It is recommended to read the instruction manual that comes with the device, and practice the disarming process prior to driving.
Another issue is that some vehicles are experiencing issues with the CAN data connection, which can affect the performance of the Ghost. This can be caused by malfunctioning sensors or an damaged OBD port. It is recommended to test the system again before using it in the event that the CAN connector has any issues.
Easy to change ghost immobiliser 2 is an excellent product that has become a huge hit on the market. However, the process of changing the pin code can be confusing. The device is pre-programmed by the installer when it's fitted but sometimes customers might prefer to change their pin code for a variety of reasons like they'd like an alternative button to disable the device or they don't want their installer to know or they just simply don't like the pin number they have currently. The good news is that the switch to a new pin number is incredibly easy. Follow these simple steps to learn how.
Note: You will need to switch on the ignition of your vehicle but do not turn on the engine! The process only takes a few seconds to complete. The vehicle will then return to normal operation.
