Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

Ghost Immobiliser can safeguard your prized property from theft. It's discreet and does not require additional key fobs.

The device makes use of buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels doors, door panels and the centre console) to generate a unique pin sequence that can be modified up to 20 times. This will then allow your vehicle to start.

Simple PIN code Change Process

Many owners are upgrading their security because of the rise in vehicle theft. There are many kinds of security products that are available for sale that range from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. They're not all equally effective at protecting your vehicle. While a tracking system may assist you in locating your vehicle in the event of theft, it will not stop the crime from happening in the first in the first place. Immobilisers, in contrast, do exactly what they state on the tin - they disable your car's motor so that it can't be started. The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most sophisticated options available, making it virtually impossible for thieves to steal your vehicle.

Utilizing the buttons already in your car, the ghost device creates an unique sequence that must be entered prior to the engine starts. This can be done using the indicator stalk windows or heater buttons. In addition to this it is possible to use an app on mobile that acts as an emergency PIN code bypass and allow the driver to operate the car without having to use the button sequence. This is an excellent option if you want to give your car to valet parking or servicing. The immobiliser will remain active.

The Ghost is a very unique and innovative device that works in conjunction with buttons in your vehicle rather than being a standalone unit. This means that it's not just a powerful security measure against theft from your vehicle but also a transferable device over to any future cars you own, making it much more of an investment than a traditional steering wheel lock.

Small, weatherproof device

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is an advanced security system that protects your vehicle from key cloning, hacking & ECU swapping. It is a small weatherproof device that connects with the ECU of your vehicle directly over 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 that it works with all vehicles. It is also indestructible to jamming devices that are an approach used frequently by thieves to bypass existing immobilisers.

The advantage of using CAN data is that it operates silently compared to traditional systems. It isn't detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology and is likewise unreadable by traditional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost doesn't use LED indicators but instead utilizes buttons in your vehicle, alarms such as the steering wheel, centre console or door panels, to create a an unique sequence of disarming. The sequence can be extended to 20 or more presses to provide additional security. The iPhone app lets you make a single, authorised connection, with a pairing code that is unique to the ghost immobiliser for sale and communication between the two is secured.

The Ghost also stops car thieves from adding an additional key or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser to start the engine. It will only allow the engine to run if the correct PIN code is entered. It is also possible to put it into Valet/Service mode for temporary operation (with defined parameters like a 30mph speed limit) so that you can transfer your vehicle to a valet service or for maintenance without having to enter a PIN.

Each vehicle is tested

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that can be connected to your vehicle's existing wiring and alarms connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device intercepts signals to prevent your car from operating normally until you enter a custom code. The system can be activated and deactivated by using your smartphone's app without the need for additional wires.

Standard factory immobilisers on automobiles function through an electronic transponder in the key, which sends an electronic signal to the ECU. The car will begin to start if the correct code is transmitted. However, if a transponder of a different 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 safety systems technology has developed the Ghost immobiliser. It protects you from hacking or key cloning and even key theft. The only way a thief could steal your car is physically towing it away and even then, they wouldn't be allowed to drive it.

Ghost makes use of buttons in your vehicle, like the indicator stalk, the steering wheel, and doors, to generate an individual PIN code that needs to be entered in order to use your vehicle. This is performed without the need for additional hardware, such as a key-fob and can be as long as 20 presses long. It is also inaccessible to diagnostic equipment and does transmit radio frequency signals, so thieves are not able to use sophisticated RF scanners or code-grabbing technologies to identify that the system has been set up.

ghost immobiliser installation is more difficult to remove than car alarms, which require disarming by pressing the buttons. This makes it an excellent complement to a GPS tracker which helps locate your car after it has been stolen.

Emergency PIN code override

You don't need to look too far on social media to find stories or even videos of vehicles that have been stolen by car thieves using the most advanced technology tools available to them. Key-cloning devices, for instance, and hacking tools that allow thieves to start the vehicle without your original keys.

The Ghost immobiliser has been designed to stop this, and give you an extra layer of security in order to keep your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It creates an individual pin code by pushing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel and centre console. This unique PIN has to be entered along with your original key fob to stop the vehicle from beginning. The unique override pin can be found on a black card which you will receive following your installation. It is easy to remember since there are no LED indicators.

The device is hidden within the wiring of the vehicle and does not emit radio signals. This means it can't be detected using diagnostic software that can determine what type of security systems you have installed. This makes it an excellent alternative to a tracking device.

In contrast to other security systems which rely on a relay in the engine bay, these immobilisers CANBUS communicate through CAN databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the vehicle. This allows them to disable the vehicle completely by sending an electronic block of commands for both the ECU and the engine.

It is also possible to connect an analog immobiliser, alarm, or tracker with these systems, but this has to be specified before installing the device. They are also fully service/valet mode-compatible and a good alternative to a tracker if you are you have your car checked for repair at the dealers.

Service/Valet Mode

In recent years there has been a rise in the number of vehicles being stolen with 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've developed the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It prevents your car from being driven, even if you keys have been copied.

It connects directly to your car's ECU (Engine Control Unit) through the CAN data loop. It's completely silent since it doesn't utilize radio frequencies or keys fobs. This means that it can't be detected by diagnostics or other car hacking devices. It also shields against the possibility of adding a new key or replacing the ECU to get around the system since only the correct PIN code can allow the engine to start.

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 that can be as long as 20 digits must be entered prior to being able to start your car.

This is the first aftermarket immobiliser for CAN bus to be created that will stop your car from being started or driven away without a PIN code being entered first. If you're driving away with the device armed, an indicator will appear on your dashboard that will flash continuously for approximately 300m. Entering your PIN code will disable the anti-hijack. Your vehicle will continue to operate normally. If you do not enter your PIN at this time the indication will continue to flash and require another PIN code for every attempt to start your vehicle.
