Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

Auto Ghost Immobiliser Immobiliser can safeguard your valuable property from theft. It's discreet and does not require additional key fobs.

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

Simple PIN Code Change Process

Many owners are upgrading their security due to the increase in vehicle theft. There are a variety of aftermarket security devices, from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. However there are a few that are equally effective in protecting your car. A tracking device can help you locate your vehicle if it's stolen however, it won't stop the crime. Immobilisers, however perform exactly as they claim on the tin: they shut off your car's engine to prevent it from being started. The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced options available, making it virtually impossible for thieves to steal your car.

The ghost device makes use of the buttons on your car to generate a unique sequence that must be entered to allow the engine to begin. This can be done using the window, heater or indicator stalk buttons. In addition to this it is possible to use an app for mobile devices that can function as an emergency PIN code bypass and allow the driver to operate the car without having to use the button sequence. This is a great solution if you want to give your car to valet parking or maintenance. The immobiliser will remain active.

The ghost immobiliser birmingham is an innovative and unique device that operates with the buttons of your vehicle instead of as a standalone unit. It's not just an effective deterrent to theft of your vehicle and vandalism, but it can be used on future vehicles you own. This makes it a much better investment than a traditional wheel lock.

Small device that is weatherproof

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is a high-tech security system that guards your pride and joy against key cloning, hacking & ECU swapping. It is a weatherproof tiny device that connects directly to your vehicle's ECU via the CAN data bus, which disables the engine. It can be installed in the vehicle without wiring and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It is also resistant against jamming devices which are a typical method used by car thieves to bypass immobilisers.

The advantage of CAN data over conventional systems is that they work silently. It's not detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology and is also undetectable by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost does not employ LED indicators but instead utilizes buttons on your vehicle, like the steering wheel, centre console, or doors, to create unique sequences for disarming. You can even create a sequence that is up to 20 presses long to increase security. The iPhone app allows a single, authorised connection, with the pairing code unique to the Ghost and communication between the two devices is encrypted.

The Ghost will stop car thieves from putting in a new ignition key or replacing the ECU in order to bypass the immobiliser. The engine will only start only if a valid PIN is entered. It is also possible to put it into Valet/Service mode for temporary operation (with set parameters such as 30mph speed limit) to allow you to hand your car over to a valet service for maintenance without having to enter a PIN.

Tested for each vehicle

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CANbus immobiliser. It can be connected to the wiring of your vehicle and to the engine control unit (ECU). The device detects electronic signals to disable your car's system from running its normal start-up routine until you input the passcode you have created. The system can be turned off or on through your smartphone's app without the need for additional wires.

Standard factory immobilisers in vehicles work by having a transponder inside the key that transmits an indication to the ECU. The car will begin to start if the correct code is transmitted. However, if the transponder from another vehicle is used instead, the immobiliser doesn't recognize it. This allows the vehicle to be stolen and started. A South African company that is at the forefront of safety systems technology created the Ghost immobiliser. It shields you from hacking or key cloning, and even key theft. The only way a thief could steal your car is physically towing it away, and even then they would not be able to drive it.

Ghost makes use of buttons in your vehicle, like the indicator stalk, the steering wheel, and the door panels, to create unique PIN codes which must be entered to use your car. This is not required to use additional hardware like a key-fob and can be as long as 20 presses long. It is also undetectable to diagnostics equipment and auto ghost Immobiliser doesn't transmit radio frequency signals, so thieves are not able to use sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing technology to detect that the security system has been installed.

Ghost is more difficult to remove than car alarms, which require disarming by pressing the buttons. This makes it a great alternative to a GPS tracking device which can be used to track your vehicle after it's been taken.

Emergency PIN code override

You don't have to look far on social media to find stories or videos of vehicles that were stolen using the most advanced technology tools. This includes key-cloning and hacking devices that allow them to start your vehicle without the original key fobs.

The Ghost immobiliser has been designed to combat this and provide you with an additional layer of security to keep your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It is created by creating a 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 in conjunction with your original key fob to stop the vehicle from getting started. The unique PIN for override can be found on the black card that you will receive following installation. It's easy to remember as there are no LED indicators.

The device is hidden in the wiring of the vehicle and doesn't emit radio signals. This means it can't be detected by diagnostic software that can determine what type of security systems you have installed. This makes it an excellent alternative to the tracker.

Unlike most other security systems that have a relay in the engine bay, CANBUS Immobilisers communicate with the car's ECU and BCM via the CAN data bus (brand dependent). This allows them to block a vehicle completely, by sending an electronic block to the ECU and 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 also work with service/valet modes and is a great alternative to a tracking device if you take your car into the dealer for repairs to an electrical problem.

Service/Valet Mode

In recent years there has been an increase in vehicles being stolen from owners without 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 you keys have been cloned.

It connects directly to your cars ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN data circuit. It's completely silent since it doesn't use radio frequencies or key fobs. This means it isn't detected by diagnostics or other car hacking devices. It also protects against adding an additional key or replacing the ECU to get around the system as only the correct PIN code will allow the engine to start.

The device is hidden inside your car using existing buttons on the steering wheel, centre console & door panels. Before you can start your car, you must enter a unique, changeable PIN number that is up to 20 digits.

This is the very first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser that was developed. It will prevent your vehicle from being driven or even started when you don't enter a PIN number first. If you're driving away with the device arming the indicator will flash on your dashboard which will flash continuously for about 300m. Entering your PIN code will disable the anti-hijack. Your car will continue to run just as normal. If you don't enter your PIN code at this point, auto ghost immobiliser the indicator will continue to flash and will require a new PIN code for every attempt to start your vehicle.
