Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

Guard your precious possessions from theft by using the Ghost Immobiliser. This system is discreet & does not require additional key fobs to operate.

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

Simple PIN code Change Process

With the increasing rate of vehicle theft, many owners are looking to upgrade their security. There are many kinds of security gadgets that are sold aftermarket, from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. However they do not all are equally efficient in protecting your vehicle. A tracking system can assist you in locating your vehicle in the event of it being stolen however, it won't prevent the crime. Immobilisers, on the contrary are exactly what 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 virtually impossible for thieves steal your vehicle.

Using the existing buttons in your car The ghost device is able to create an unique sequence that must be entered prior to the engine will start. This can be accomplished by using the heater, window or indicator stalk buttons. There is also a mobile application that can be used as an emergency PIN override, allowing the driver to operate their vehicle without the need to use the button sequence. This feature is particularly beneficial if you have to give your car away for valet parking or servicing since the immobiliser is activated, but not disabled.

The Ghost is an innovative and unique device that operates with your vehicle's buttons rather than as a separate unit. This means it's not only a highly effective security measure against theft from your vehicle but can also be transferred to any future vehicles you may own, making it more investment-wise than a traditional steering wheel lock.

Weatherproof, tiny device

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is a sophisticated security system that guards your car from key cloning, hacking and ECU swapping. It's a weatherproof and small device that connects directly to your vehicle's ECU via the CAN data bus, which disables the engine. It can be fitted into the vehicle without wiring, and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It is also immune to jamming devices, which are a common technique that car thieves use to bypass immobilisers.

The advantage of using CAN data is that it operates silently in comparison to conventional systems. It isn't detected by sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing techniques and cannot be detected by traditional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost does not produce LED indicators and instead uses the buttons inside your vehicle, such as the steering wheel or centre console panels to create a unique, customizable disarm sequence. This sequence can be extended up to 20 presses for additional security. The iPhone app permits one, authorized connection with the pairing code unique to the Ghost and communication between the two is encrypted.

The ghost immobiliser 2 will stop car thieves from putting in an ignition key that is not in use or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser. It will only allow the engine to start when the correct PIN code is entered. It is possible to operate temporarily in the Valet/Service mode (with parameters set, such as a 30mph speed limit) which means you can hand your car to valet or service without needing to enter an entry code.

Each vehicle is tested

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket immobiliser on the CAN bus that is able to be connected to your vehicle's existing wiring and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device snoops on electronic signals that block the system of your vehicle from performing its normal initialization process until you enter the passcode you have created. The system can be turned on or off via your smartphone's app without the need for extra wires.

Standard factory immobilisers on vehicles function by using a transponder inside the key, which sends an indication to the ECU. The car will start if the correct code is transmitted. However, if the transponder of a different vehicle is used instead, the immobiliser won't recognise it. This makes it possible for the vehicle to be stolen and then started. A South African company that is at the forefront of car security systems technology developed the ghost Immobiliser problems (warren-graves.thoughtlanes.net) immobiliser. It guards you against hacking or key cloning, and even key theft. The only way that a burglar could take your car is by physically towing it away, and even then they would not be capable of driving it.

Ghost uses the buttons in your vehicle including the indicator stalk along with the steering wheel, indicator stalk and door panels to create a unique, changeable PIN code sequence that must be entered prior to you can use your car. This is done without additional hardware, like key fobs. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also unrecognizable to diagnostic equipment and does not transmit radio frequency signals so thieves are not able to make use of sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing technology to discover that the security system has been installed.

Unlike physical anti-theft devices like wheel locks or clamps, Ghost is covertly integrated into the vehicle to ensure that it can't be removed or disabled by thieves and is even more difficult to get rid of than a car alarm that requires disarming with the use of a button sequence. This makes it a fantastic addition to a GPS tracking device which can be used to locate your vehicle after it's been stolen.

Emergency PIN code override

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

The Ghost immobiliser was designed to stop this and provide you with an extra layer of security in order to prevent your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It is created by creating an unique pin code sequence that is triggered by your buttons on the steering wheel, door panel and centre console. This unique PIN must be entered together with your original key fob in order to stop the vehicle from starting. The unique PIN for override is on the black card you will receive following installation. It is simple to remember because there are no LED indications.

The device is hidden within the vehicle's wiring and does not emit radio signals, so it can't be recognized by criminals with diagnostic software that can detect the type of security system you have installed. This makes it an excellent alternative to a tracker.

Unlike most other security systems that use a relay inside the engine bay, these CANBUS Immobilisers connect with the vehicle's ECU and BCM via the CAN data bus (brand dependent). This allows them to shut down the vehicle completely by sending a digital block to the ECU and engine.

It is also possible to connect an analogue immobiliser, alarm or tracker to these systems, however this must be specified before installing the device. They are also service/valet-mode compatible and Ghost Immobiliser Problems are a great alternative to a tracker having your car in for repairs to an electrical issue at the dealer.

Service/Valet Mode

In recent years there has been an increase in the number of vehicles being stolen with no owner's keys. It is easier than ever before to steal your pride and joy with the availability of key cloning tools and door lock picks. We have created the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It blocks your car from being driven, even if you keys have been copied.

It communicates directly to your vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) through the CAN data circuit. It's completely silent since it doesn't use radio frequencies or a key fob. It cannot be detected using diagnostics or any other hacking device. It also prevents the addition of a new key or replacing the ECU to get around the system as only the correct PIN code can allow the engine to start.

The device is hidden in your car and is accessed by existing buttons on your steering wheel, the centre console, and door panels. Before you can start your car, you must enter a unique and reversible PIN code up to 20 digits.

This is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that has been developed. It will prevent your vehicle from being driven or started if you don't enter a PIN number first. If you're driving away with the device in motion it will display an indicator on your dashboard and flash continuously for around 300m. Entering your PIN code will turn off the anti-hijack. Your vehicle will continue to operate just as normal. If you do not enter your PIN at this point, the warning will keep flashing & will require another PIN code for every attempt to start your car.
