Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser
Protect your pride & joy against theft by using the Ghost Immobiliser. This system is discrete and doesn't require additional key fobs.
The device utilizes buttons in your vehicle (steering wheel doors, door panels, and the centre console) to create a unique, changeable pin code sequence of up to 20 presses. This will then authorize the startup of your vehicle.
Simple change of PIN code
Many homeowners are upgrading their security because of the rise in vehicle theft. There are many types of security devices that are sold aftermarket including tracking systems, alarms and immobilisers. However, not all of these are equally efficient in protecting your vehicle. A tracking system may aid in finding your car if it is stolen however, it won't stop the crime. Immobilisers, in contrast, do exactly
what is a ghost immobiliser they state on the label - they shut down the motor of your car so that it can't be started. The Autowatch
Ghost immobiliser problems immobiliser is one of the most advanced options available on the market, making it virtually impossible for thieves to take your vehicle.
By using the buttons that are already present in your car, the ghost device creates a unique sequence which must be entered prior to the engine starts. This can be done by using the window, heater or indicator stalk buttons. In addition to this, there is also an app on mobile that can act as an emergency PIN code override, allowing the driver to operate the car without using the button sequence. This is a great solution for those who want to offer your car to valet parking or for maintenance. The immobiliser remains 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. This means that it is not just a powerful protection against theft of your vehicle, but also a transferable device over to any future cars you own, making it more investment-wise than a traditional steering wheel lock.
Weatherproof, tiny device
The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is an advanced security system that guards your pride and joy against key cloning, hacking and ECU swapping. It's a small, weatherproof device that communicates with the ECU of your vehicle directly through the CAN bus to disable the motor. It can be installed in the vehicle without additional wiring and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It is also indestructible to jamming devices that are an approach used frequently by car thieves to circumvent existing immobilisers.
The advantage of CAN data over conventional systems is that they work silently. It cannot be detected using sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing technologies, nor can it be identified by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost doesn't emit LED indicators and instead uses the buttons on your vehicle, such as the steering wheel or centre console panels to create a unique, changeable disarm sequence. The sequence can be extended by 20 or more presses for additional security. The iPhone app allows only one connection, using an individual pairing code for the Ghost. All communication between the two devices is protected.
The Ghost stops car thieves from adding an ignition key replacement or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser. The engine can only be started if a valid PIN code is entered. It is also possible to put it into Valet/Service mode for temporary operation (with specified parameters, such as a 30mph speed limit) to allow you to hand your car over to a valet service or for servicing without the need to enter a PIN code.
Every vehicle is tested
The Autowatch Ghost is the world's first aftermarket immobiliser for CAN bus that can be connected to your vehicle's existing wiring and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device intercepts signals to stop your car from operating normally until you enter a specific code. The system can be activated and deactivated using your own smartphone application without the need for wires.
The standard factory immobilisers function with a transponder which is embedded in the key. It transmits a message to the ECU. The car will begin to start if the correct code is sent. If, however, the transponder of a different vehicle is used instead, the immobiliser doesn't recognize it. This allows the vehicle to be started and stolen. The Ghost immobiliser was developed by an South African company at the top of the line in vehicle security technology. It shields your car from hacking, key cloning and even key theft. Only by physically towing your car away from thieves could they get it, and they would still not be able to drive the vehicle.
Ghost uses buttons on your vehicle, such as the indicator stalk, steering wheel, and door
Ghost Immobiliser Problems panels, to create unique PIN codes which must be entered in order to use your vehicle. This is performed without the need for extra hardware such as keys-fobs, and can be 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 technology to determine if security systems have been installed.
In contrast to the physical devices that prevent theft, such as wheel locks or clamps, Ghost is covertly integrated into the vehicle, so it cannot be taken away or disabled by thieves. It's more difficult to remove from a car alarm which requires disarming via the use of a button sequence. This makes it a great alternative to an GPS tracking device that can be used to track your vehicle after it's been stolen.
Override of emergency PIN code
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 employing the most advanced technology tools available to them. This includes key-cloning devices as well as hacking tools that allow thieves to start the vehicle with the original keys.
The Ghost immobiliser has been designed to combat this and provide you with an additional layer of security to prevent your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It works by creating an unique pin code push sequence from your buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, and centre console. This unique PIN is entered alongside the original key fob to stop the engine from starting. The unique override pin is found on a black card that you receive following your installation. It is easy to remember because there are no LED indicators.
The device is hidden in the vehicle's wires, and does not emit radio signals, which means it can't be identified by modern criminals using diagnostic software that can identify the security system you have installed. This makes it an excellent alternative to a tracking device.
Contrary to other security systems that rely on a relay located in the engine bay, these immobilisers CANBUS communicate through CAN databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the car. This allows them to shut down a vehicle completely, by sending an electronic block to the ECU and engine.
They can also be connected to a separate alarm immobiliser, tracker or alarm. This must be specified prior to installation. They are also service/valet-mode compatible and a great alternative to a tracker you are taking your car in for repair at the dealers.
Service/Valet Mode
In recent years there has seen an increase in the number of cars being stolen without the owners keys. With easy access to key cloning equipment & door lock pick sets it is now much easier for thieves to steal your prized possessions. We've developed the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It stops your car from being driven, even if your keys have been cloned.
