What Is Ghost Autowatch Immobiliser? What Are The Benefits And How To Use It
Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
The renowned Ghost Immobiliser provides your vehicle with advanced protection against key-cloning hacking, theft and hacking. This TASSA-verified system is undetectable by thieves and stops your vehicle from being started.
This silent device uses buttons on the steering wheel, centre console, and door panels of your vehicle to allow you to create an individual PIN code of that can be up to 20 characters that needs to be entered prior to the car will start.
Easy to install
It is more important than ever that you protect your vehicle. With car crimes increasing and cloning devices readily available, it's essential to do so. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a secure and discreet aftermarket solution that protects against key-cloning and vehicle theft. The device is completely inaccessible to thieves, and functions through buttons on the steering wheel or the door panels. This allows customers to create a unique sequence of disarming like the credit card which must be entered before a car is able to be started or driven away. This makes it almost impossible to detect and is not affected by blocking devices or spoofing devices as with other systems.
Installation of the Ghost unit requires a highly-skilled installer. The unit is carefully integrated into the vehicle's CAN bus network, ensuring it communicates directly to the ECU. This allows the Ghost to be installed without having to alter the factory settings, and also ensures that it is not hacked by a burglar using signal boosters or other techniques.
Once the Ghost is installed the new and improved disarm sequence is required to be inputted in order to activate your car. Press the service button five times in 2 seconds, but make sure you don't hold it down for too long. The system will then blink twice to signal that Transport Mode has been activated. This feature is perfect for classic, sports and prestige vehicles that require their security systems to be temporarily disabled while service or transport.
When Transport Mode is activated your immobiliser will become removed and you will not be able to reactivate it by entering the PIN code. This feature is perfect for those who wish to store their vehicle over the winter months, and avoid being stolen by thieves or having to deal with monthly insurance premiums that increase.
No key-fobs or LED indications to reveal the location of the vehicle.
The Ghost immobiliser shields your vehicle from thieves using buttons located on the dashboard or steering wheel. You can enter a pin code without being noticed before you start the engine. It wards off attacks using signal relays, ECU swapping and key cloning. It can also be linked to a mobile application to arm or disarm remotely. It's easy to install and can be integrated into a wide range of vehicles. It is also very stealthy and can be concealed in places that are difficult to reach, such as behind the dashboard or within the steering-wheel trim.
This is a great choice for high-performance vehicles because it can shut off your vehicle's ignition if the incorrect pin code is entered. This prevents thieves from driving away with your joy and pride. The device will even send an alert to your phone if you've left the car unattended in public, giving you peace of brain when you're away from your vehicle.
The Ghost is unique to other immobilisers because it doesn't require any additional fobs or LED indicators. It can also be easily hidden in an area that is difficult to reach your vehicle. It works by communicating directly with the vehicle's CAN data network, making it extremely resistant to detection. It doesn't emit radio signals so it is not detected by RF scanners or signal jammers.
It's made to be tamperproof and weatherproof, and can withstand extreme temperatures. It's also impossible to tamper with by cutting wires or dismantling the device. Moreover, it doesn't require any circuit cuts to work and is therefore inaccessible to organized gangs of thiefs who use diagnostics reading devices to detect fitted security systems. It's also not affected by professional auto diagnostics equipment that examines the CAN data system for the presence of an alarm device.
No circuit cuts
Without any LED indicators or key fobs that can reveal its location the ghost device is hidden in your vehicle, underneath the dashboard or steering wheel and utilizes buttons inside your car to generate an unique PIN code sequence which must be entered before the engine can start. The criminal cannot leave the vehicle even when they have your keys since they don't know the correct code. The device doesn't transmit radio signals, and therefore organized gangs of thieves using tools for reading diagnostics will be not able to detect it.
This innovative immobiliser, which is also TASSA-approved, will assist you in reducing your insurance costs. This is especially true for modified vehicles that owners have customized. It also helps prevent key theft and ECU switching, meaning that the only way for a burglar to steal your pride and happiness is to tow it.
As the system does not utilize the key fobs that are supplied by the factory or the dashboard buttons, it is a completely silent device, it communicates with your ECU through the CAN data circuit which operates completely silently and gives no indication that it is fitted. This means a thief can't replace the ECU or install new key fobs in order to get your car running.
If you ever forget your PIN code our engineers will provide you with an emergency reset for the device which allows you to enter'service mode'. This will allow a technician or dealer to temporarily start and drive your vehicle which allows them to carry out MOTs, maintenance work, or valet parking. After the technician has completed their task or you have taken possession of your vehicle, just enter the PIN code and the device will be out of service mode based on speed and time.
No radio signals
The Ghost immobiliser, in contrast to other car security systems does not rely on an alarm system or key fobs to block vehicles from starting. Instead it communicates with the vehicle's ECU and CAN data circuit to prevent the engine from starting. This makes it a discreet solution that isn't affected by key cloning or radio frequency scanning techniques used by thieves to bypass other security devices. It can also be paired with tracking systems to enhance the security of your vehicle. It will also warn you of any attempted tampering or theft.

It isn't easy for drivers to remember, or they could be wrong the first time. It is recommended to read the instruction manual that comes with the device to understand this and practise the disarming process before driving the vehicle.
A second problem is that certain cars have issues with the CAN data connections, which could affect Ghost's performance. try what she says could be due to malfunctioning sensors or an damaged OBD port. It is best to test the system again before using it, in case the CAN connection has any issues.
