Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser
Secure your prized possessions from theft by using the Ghost Immobiliser. This system is discrete and does not require any additional key fobs in order to operate.
The device uses buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels doors, door panels, and the centre console) to create a unique pin code sequence that can be modified up to 20 times. This will allow your vehicle to begin.
Simple change of PIN code
Many owners are upgrading their security because of the rising number of vehicle thefts. There are a variety of security gadgets that are sold aftermarket including tracking systems, alarms and immobilisers. Not all of them are equally effective in protecting your car. A tracking system can help you locate your vehicle in the event of it being stolen, but it will not stop the crime. An immobiliser, on contrary, does exactly what it says on the tin: it shuts down the engine of your vehicle to prevent it from being started. The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced options on the market, making it nearly impossible for thieves to take your vehicle.
The ghost device utilizes the buttons on your car to generate a unique sequence which must be entered in order for the engine to begin. This can be done using the indicator stalk or window buttons. There is also a mobile application that can be used as an emergency PIN override, which allows the driver to operate their car without the need to use the button sequence. This is a great option for those who want to offer your car to valet parking or servicing. The immobiliser will remain active.
The Ghost is a very unique and ingenious device that is used in conjunction with the buttons of your car instead of being a separate unit. It is not only an effective deterrent for vehicle theft and vandalism, but it can be used on future vehicles you own. This makes it a far better investment than a conventional wheel lock.
Small, weatherproof device
The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is an advanced security system that guards your pride and joy against key cloning, ghost immobiliser fitting hacking and ECU swapping. It is a tiny, weatherproof device that communicates with the ECU of your vehicle directly via the CAN bus to disable the motor. It can be plugged 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 typical method used by car thieves to get around immobilisers.
The benefit of CAN data over conventional systems is that they work silently. It isn’t detected by sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing techniques, nor can it be identified by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost doesn’t produce LED indicators and instead uses the buttons inside your vehicle such as steering wheel, centre console or door panels to create a unique, changeable disarm sequence. The sequence can be extended to 20 presses for extra security. The iPhone app allows one, authorized connection using a pairing code that is unique to the Ghost and the communication between the two is encrypted.
The Ghost will stop car thieves from putting in an ignition key that is not in use or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser. The engine will only run if a valid PIN code has been entered. It is able to be operated temporarily in valet or service mode (with parameters set such as a 30mph speed limit), so you can give your car to an attendant or valet without having to enter the code.
Tested for each vehicle
The Autowatch Ghost is the world’s first aftermarket immobiliser on the CAN bus that connects to the existing wiring in your vehicle and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device detects signals to prevent your car from starting normally until you enter a custom code. The system can be turned on or off through your smartphone’s app without the need for extra wires.
The standard factory immobilisers function by using a transponder, which is embedded in the key. This transmits a signal to the ECU. If the correct code is transmitted the car will start however if the transponder is replaced with one from another vehicle the immobiliser will not recognise it. This enables the vehicle to be started and stolen. A South African company that is at the forefront of car security systems technology has developed the Ghost immobiliser. It guards you against hacking or key cloning, and even key theft. Only by physically towing your car away can thieves steal it and not be able to drive it.
Ghost utilizes the buttons of your vehicle including the indicator stalk as well as the steering wheel and door panels to create an unique PIN code that is changeable that needs to be entered before you are able to use your car. It does this without additional hardware, like key fobs. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also undetectable by devices for diagnosis and transmits radio frequency signals, so thieves cannot use sophisticated RF scanners or code-grabbing techniques to determine if the system has been set up.
Contrary to physical anti-theft devices such as clamps or wheel locks Ghost is concealed within the vehicle so it can’t be removed or disabled by thieves. It is more difficult to remove than a car alarm, which requires disarming with the use of a button sequence. This makes it a fantastic addition to a GPS tracking device that can be used to locate your vehicle after it’s been taken.
Emergency PIN code override
You do not have to look far on social media to see stories or even videos of vehicles that were stolen by thieves using the latest technology tools available to them. This includes key-cloning and hacking devices that allow the vehicle to start without your original key fobs.
Our Ghost Immobiliser Fitting immobiliser is specifically designed to prevent this and provide you with an extra layer of security in order to prevent your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It creates a unique pin code push sequence using your existing buttons on the steering wheel, door panel, and the center console. This unique PIN has to be entered together with your original key fob in order to prevent the vehicle from starting. The unique override pin is located on a black card which you will receive following the installation. It is simple to remember because there are no LED indicators.
The device is hidden inside the vehicle’s wires, and doesn’t emit any radio signals, which means it can’t be recognized by criminals using diagnostic software that is able to detect the type of security system you have installed. This makes it a fantastic alternative to a tracker.
Contrary to other security systems which use a relay in engine bay, these CANBUS immobilisers communicate via CAN databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the car. This allows them to disable the vehicle completely through a digital block of commands to both the ECU and the engine.
It is also possible to connect a separate analog immobiliser, alarm, or tracker to these systems, however this must be specified before installing the device. They are also compatible with valet/service modes and an excellent alternative to a tracking device if you take your car into the dealer for repairs to an electrical problem.
Service/Valet mode
In recent times there has been an increase in the number of vehicles that are stolen without owners’ keys. With the ease of access to key cloning equipment and door lock pick sets, it is now easier than ever for thieves to steal your prized possessions. We’ve developed the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It stops your vehicle from being driven even if your keys have been cloned.
It connects directly to your car’s ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN data circuit. It’s completely silent since it doesn’t utilize radio frequencies or keys fobs. This means it isn’t detected by diagnostics or other car hacking devices. It also protects the user from using a new ECU or key to bypass the system because only the PIN number allows the engine to be started.
The device is hidden within your car ghost immobiliser by using buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console and door panels. A unique and reversible PIN code sequence that can be as long as 20 digits must be entered before you are able to start your car.
This is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that was created. It will prevent your vehicle from being driven or started in the event that you do not enter a PIN number first. If the device is activated and you try to drive away, it will display an indicator on your dash which will flash on a regular basis for approximately 300m. If you type in your PIN code at this point it will disable the anti-hijack device and your car will continue to operate just as normal. If you do not enter your PIN code at this point, the warning will continue to flash and will require another PIN code for every attempt to start your car.
