Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

Secure your prized possessions against theft with the Ghost Immobiliser. It is discreet and does not require any additional key fobs.

The device makes use of the buttons on your vehicle (steering wheel, door panels & centre console) to create a unique pin code sequence that can be up to 20 presses long. This allows your vehicle to begin.

Simple process to change the PIN code

With the growing rate of vehicle theft, a lot of owners are seeking to improve their security. There are a variety of aftermarket security devices that range from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. However, not all of them are equally effective in protecting your vehicle. While a tracking device can assist in finding your vehicle in the event of theft, it can not stop the crime from happening in the first place. Immobilisers, on the other hand does exactly what it says on the tin: it shuts down your car's engine so that it is unable to be started. The Autowatch Ghost Installer (Http://Data.Crowdcreator.Eu) Ghost is one of the most advanced options available, making it virtually impossible for thieves to steal your car.

Utilizing the buttons already in your car The ghost device generates an exclusive sequence that has to be entered prior to the engine will start. This can be done by using the heater, window or indicator stalk buttons. In addition to this, there is also a mobile app which acts as an emergency PIN code override and allows the driver to operate the car without the button sequence. This is a great solution for those who want to offer your car to valet parking or for maintenance. The immobiliser will remain in operation.

The Ghost is an innovative and unique device that works by using the buttons of your vehicle instead of as a separate unit. It is not only an effective deterrent for vehicle theft however, it can be used to secure any future vehicles you may own. This makes it a better investment than a conventional wheel lock.

Small, weatherproof device

The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is an advanced security device that shields your car from key cloning and hacking. It also stops ECU swapping. It is a tiny, weatherproof device that communicates with the ECU of your vehicle directly over the CAN bus to stop the motor. It can be plugged into the vehicle without wiring, and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It also is resistant to jamming devices, which are a common method used by car thieves to get around immobilisers.

The benefit of using CAN data is that it operates in a silent manner when compared to conventional systems. It isn't detected by sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing technologies and cannot be detected by traditional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch local ghost immobiliser installer does not employ LED indicators and instead uses buttons on your vehicle, like the steering wheel, centre console or door panels, to create a a unique disarming sequence. You can make this sequence up to 20 presses long to increase security. The iPhone app lets you make only one, authenticated connection with the pairing code unique to the Ghost and communication between the two devices is encrypted.

The Ghost stops car thieves from adding an ignition key that is not in use or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser. The engine will only run only if a valid PIN has been entered. It can also be put into valet/service mode for a temporary operation (with set parameters such as 30mph speed limit) to allow you to transfer your vehicle to a valet service or to be serviced without needing to enter a PIN.

Each vehicle is tested

The Autowatch Ghost is a world-first aftermarket CANbus immobiliser. It can be connected to the wiring of your vehicle and to the engine control unit (ECU). The device intercepts signals to stop your car from starting up normally until you enter a custom code. The system can be turned off or on by using your smartphone app without the need for additional wires.

The standard factory immobilisers work by using a transponder, which is embedded in the key. This sends a message to the ECU. The car will begin to start if the correct code is sent. However, if a transponder from a different vehicle is used instead, the immobiliser won't recognize it. This allows the vehicle be started and stolen. The Ghost immobiliser has been developed by an South African company at the forefront of vehicle security systems technology. It shields you from hacking or key cloning, and even key theft. The only way that a burglar could steal your car is physically towing it away and even then they would not be allowed to drive it.

Ghost uses the buttons in your vehicle including the indicator stalk along with the steering wheel, indicator stalk and door panels to generate an individual PIN code that is changeable that needs to be entered before you can use your car. This is done without extra hardware, such as key fobs. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also undetectable by diagnostic equipment and does transmit radio frequency signals, so thieves cannot make use of sophisticated RF scanners or code grabbing techniques to determine if an installation has been made.

In contrast to the physical devices that prevent theft, such as wheel locks or clamps, Ghost is hidden within the vehicle to ensure that it can't be removed or disabled by thieves. It's also harder to remove from a car alarm which requires disarming using the use of a button sequence. This makes it a great alternative to an GPS tracking device, which can be used to track your vehicle after it's been taken.

Override of emergency PIN code

You don't have to look far on social media for stories or videos of cars that have been stolen with the latest technology tools. This includes key-cloning and hacking devices that allow the vehicle to start without the original key fobs.

The Ghost immobiliser was specifically designed to prevent this, and give you an additional layer of security to protect your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It creates an unique pin code push sequence from your existing buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, and centre console. This unique PIN is entered along with your original key fob to stop the engine from getting started. The unique override PIN is on the black card that you will receive following your installation. It is simple to remember as there aren't any LEDs.

The device is hidden inside the vehicle's wiring and doesn't emit any radio signals, so it cannot be recognized by criminals using diagnostic software that is able to detect the type of security system you have installed. This makes it a great alternative to a tracker.

In contrast to other security systems that rely on a relay located in the engine bays, immobilisers using CAN communicate via databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the vehicle. This allows them to disable the vehicle completely through a digital block of commands that is sent to both the ECU and the engine.

They can also be connected to a separate analogue alarm, immobiliser or tracker. This should be specified prior to the installation. They are also fully service/valet mode compatible and a great alternative to a tracker having your car in for repair at the dealership.

Service/Valet Mode

In recent years, there has seen an increase in the number of cars being stolen without the owners keys. With the ease of access to key cloning equipment and door lock pick sets it is now much easier for thieves to take your prized possessions. We have created the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It stops your car from being driven, even if you keys have been cloned.

It connects directly to your car's ECU (Engine Control Unit), via the data loop called CAN. It's completely quiet since it doesn't use radio frequencies or a key fob. This means it isn't detected by diagnostics or any other car hacking devices. It also shields against the possibility of adding a new key or replacing the ECU to bypass the system, since only the correct PIN code can allow the engine to start.

The device is hidden inside your car, using buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console and door panels. A unique and changeable PIN code sequence that can be as long as 20 digits needs to be entered prior to being able to start your vehicle.

This is the very first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser for the market that was developed. It will stop your vehicle from being driven or started when you don't enter a PIN number first. If the device is activated and you try to drive off it will display a warning on your dash which will flash continuously for about 300m, if you enter your PIN code at this point it will disable the anti-hijack and your car will continue to drive as normal. If you do not enter your PIN code at this point, the indicator will continue to flash and will require another PIN code for every attempt to start your vehicle.
