Protect your pride & joy against theft with the Ghost Immobiliser. This system is discreet & does not require additional key fobs in order to operate.

The device uses existing buttons in your vehicle (steering wheel doors, door panels and centre console) to create a unique pin code sequence up to 20 presses long. This will then allow the start-up of your vehicle.

Simple PIN Code Change Process

With the increasing rate of vehicle theft, many owners are seeking to improve their security. There are a variety of aftermarket security devices available, from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. However they do not all are equally efficient in protecting your vehicle. A tracking system may help you locate your vehicle in the event of it being stolen however, it won't prevent the crime. Immobilisers, however perform exactly as they say on the tin - they shut down the motor of your car so that it can't be started. The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most sophisticated options available, making it nearly impossible for thieves to steal your vehicle.

Utilizing the buttons already in your car, the ghost device creates an exclusive sequence that has to be entered prior to the engine starts. This can be done by using the heater, window or indicator stalk buttons. There is also a mobile app that can be used as an emergency PIN override, which allows the driver to operate their vehicle without the button sequence. This is especially useful if you need to give your car away to a valet service or parking since the immobiliser will remain active and not deactivated.

The Ghost is an unique and innovative device that operates with the buttons on your vehicle rather than as a standalone device. It's not just an effective deterrent to vehicle theft and vandalism, but it can also be used on any future vehicles you may own. This makes it a much more cost-effective option than a traditional wheel lock.

Weatherproof tiny device

The autowatch ghost installation Walsall Ghost Immobiliser is an advanced security system that protects your pride & joy from key hacking and cloning. It also blocks ECU swapping. It's a weatherproof, tiny device that communicates directly with your vehicle's ECU via the CAN data bus to disable the engine. It can be plugged into the vehicle without the need for additional wiring and has been extensively tested to ensure it works with all vehicles. It also is resistant to jamming devices, which is the most common method used by car thieves to circumvent existing immobilisers.

The advantage of CAN data over traditional systems is that they work silently. It isn't detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology and is also unrecognizable by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch audi rs6 ghost installer does not employ LED indicators but instead utilizes buttons in your vehicle, like the steering wheel, the centre console, or door panels, to create unique sequences for disarming. You can make this sequence up to 20 presses long for added security. The iPhone app permits only one, authenticated connection with the pairing code unique to the Ghost and the communication between the two is secured.

The Ghost also prevents thieves from stealing the key to a new car or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser and begin the engine. It will only allow the engine to run only if the correct pin code is entered. It can be temporarily operated in valet or service mode (with parameters set such as 30mph speed limit) and, therefore, you can offer your vehicle to a valet or service without having to enter an entry code.

Tested for each vehicle

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket immobiliser on the CAN bus that is able to be connected to the existing wiring in your vehicle and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device is able to intercept signals and stop your car from operating normally until you enter a specific code. The system can be activated or deactivated via your smartphone's app without the need for extra wires.

Standard factory immobilisers on vehicles function by using a transponder inside the key that sends an electronic signal to the ECU. If the correct code is transmitted, the car will start however, if the transponder is swapped with one from a different vehicle, the immobiliser won't recognize it. This allows the vehicle be stolen and started. The Ghost immobiliser was created by a South African company at the top of the line in vehicle security technology. It shields you from key cloning or hacking, and even key theft. Only by physically towing your vehicle away can thieves steal it, and they would still not be able to drive it.

Ghost makes use of buttons on your vehicle, such as the indicator stalk, steering wheel, and door panels, to generate unique PIN codes that needs to be entered in order to use your vehicle. This is performed without the need for additional hardware like a key-fob and can last up to 20 presses long. It is also inaccessible to diagnostic equipment and does not transmit radio frequency signals, so thieves are not able to use sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing techniques to detect that a security system has been installed.

Ghost is more difficult to remove than car alarms, which require disarming by pressing a series of buttons. This makes it a perfect alternative to a GPS tracker which helps locate your vehicle after it has been stolen.

Emergency PIN code override

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

The Ghost immobiliser was designed to combat this, and give you an additional layer of security to prevent your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It creates a unique pin code sequence that is triggered by your existing buttons on the steering wheel, door panel and centre console. The unique pin code is entered in conjunction with your original key fob in order to prevent the engine from getting started. The unique override pin can be found on the black card you will receive following your installation. It is simple to remember since there are no LED indicators.

The device is hidden within the wiring of your vehicle and doesn't emit radio signals. This means it can't be detected using diagnostic software that can tell what type of security systems you have installed. This makes it a fantastic alternative to an alarm.

Unlike other security systems, which use a relay in engine bay, these immobilisers using CAN communicate via databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the vehicle. This allows them to disable the vehicle completely by sending an electronic block to the ECU and engine.

They can also be linked to a separate analogue alarm immobiliser or tracker. This should be decided prior to installation. They also work with service/valet modes and is a great alternative to a tracking device if you take your car to the dealer for an electrical problem.
