Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
The well-known Ghost Immobiliser provides your vehicle with a high level of protection against key cloning, hacking and theft. This TASSA confirmed system is undetectable to thieves and blocks the thieves from starting your vehicle.
This device is silent and uses buttons on your car's steering wheel, doors and the centre console to allow you to create a unique, PIN code that you can change up to 20 characters. The code must be entered first before the car can begin.
Easy to install
With car theft on the rise and cloning tools readily available, it is more important than ever to safeguard your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a secure and discreet aftermarket solution to protect against key-cloning and car theft. The unit is almost undetectable to thieves and operates via buttons on the steering wheel or door panels, as well as the central console. This allows customers to make an individual disarm sequence like credit card numbers that must be entered before the vehicle is able to begin or leave. This makes it virtually impossible to identify, and is not affected by jamming devices or spoofing devices as with other systems.
Installation of the Ghost unit requires a highly-skilled installer. The unit is carefully integrated into your vehicle's CAN bus network, ensuring that it communicates directly with the ECU. The Ghost can be installed without affecting factory settings, and it is virtually impossible for thieves to evade the system with signal boosters.
After the Ghost is installed with a new and improved disarm sequence must be inputted to activate your vehicle. This can be accomplished by pressing the service button on your vehicle 5 times within 2 seconds, while ensuring that it's not held for a prolonged period of time. The system will then flash twice to show that Transport Mode has been activated. This feature is ideal for classic, sports or prestige vehicles that require their security system to be temporarily disabled during transport or servicing.
Once Transport Mode has been activated, the immobiliser will be disabled and is not reactivated by entering your PIN again. This feature is great for those who want to store their vehicle during winter, preventing it from being stolen by thieves, or being liable for monthly insurance premium increases.
There aren't any keyfobs, LEDs, or other indicators to assist you in finding it.
The Ghost immobiliser is a discreet device that shields your car from car thieves by utilizing buttons on the dashboard or steering wheel to input an unobtrusive pin code prior to starting the engine. It can be linked with a phone application to arm/disarm remotely. It also prevents signal relay, ECU swapping, and key copying. It's simple to install and can be integrated to a variety of vehicles. It's also extremely discreet and can be concealed in hard-to-reach places like behind the dashboard, or in the trim of the steering wheel.
It's a great choice for high-performance vehicles because it can disable the ignition system of your vehicle if a wrong pin code is entered, which will stop thieves from driving off with your joy and pride. The device can notify a smartphone if the car is left unattended while in public. This gives you peace of mind when you're away from your car.
The Ghost is unlike other immobilisers as it does not require additional fobs or LED indicators. It can also be easily hidden in a difficult-to-reach area of your vehicle. It works by communicating directly with the vehicle's CAN data network, which makes it highly resistant to detection. It does not emit radio signals, so it is undetectable by RF scanners or signal jammers.
It is designed to be weatherproof and tamper-proof. It also has the ability to withstand extreme temperatures. It is also impossible to alter by cutting wires or removing it. It's also inaccessible to organized gangs of thieves who use diagnostics reading devices to detect security systems. It's also not affected by auto diagnostics equipment that is professional that checks the CAN data system for the presence of an alarm device.
No circuit cuts
The ghost device does not include any LED indicators or key fobs that would identify its place of operation. It is hidden under the steering wheel, dashboard or dashboard of your car and uses buttons to create a unique PIN sequence that has to be entered in order to start the engine. The thief cannot drive away the vehicle even if they have keys to your car because they do not know the correct code. The device also does not transmit any radio signals meaning that organised criminal gangs that use diagnostics reading devices will be unable to detect the device.
This cutting edge immobiliser is also TASSA approved and can reduce the cost of insurance, particularly for vehicles that have been customized by their owners. It also stops key cloning theft, as well as ECU swapping. This means that the only way for a criminal can steal your pride and joy is to remove it.
The system is completely quiet as it does not utilize the buttons on the dashboard or factory keys. It communicates with the ECU via the CAN data circuit which is completely silent and does not give any indication that it was installed. This means that thieves can't replace the ECU or even add new key fobs to allow your car to start.
If you forget your PIN code, our engineers have provided you with an emergency reset device that lets you enter "service mode". This allows the dealer or technician to temporarily start and drive your car which allows them to complete maintenance work, MOTs or valet parking without needing to enter the PIN code once more. After the technician has finished or you have collected the vehicle then enter the PIN code to exit the service mode.
No radio signals

Ghost isn't without its problems. A common issue is that users struggle to enter the correct disarm sequence. The device requires input through buttons already in your vehicle, such as the ones on the steering column or console. It could be difficult for people to remember, or they may be wrong the first time. It is recommended to read the manual included with the device to learn this and practise the process of disarming prior to driving the vehicle.
Another issue is that some vehicles have issues with the CAN data connection, which can affect the performance of the Ghost. This can be caused either due to malfunctioning sensors or damaged OBD connector. It is best to have the system tested before attempting to use it in case there are any issues with the CAN connection.
Easy to change PIN code

The device is preprogrammed by installer at the time of installation, but users may wish to alter it for a variety of reasons.

It's easy to change your pin number. Follow the easy steps below to find out how.
Note: You will need to switch on the ignition of your vehicle but do not start the engine! This process only takes several minutes. The vehicle will then resume normal operation.
