Easy to install
With car theft on the rise and cloning tools readily available, it is more important than ever to secure your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a secure and discreet aftermarket solution that protects against key-cloning and vehicle theft. The unit is virtually invisible to thieves, and operates through buttons on the steering wheel or the door panels. This allows customers to create a unique disarming sequence like a credit card that must be entered before a vehicle is able to be started or driven away. This makes it almost impossible to spot, 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 the CAN bus network of your vehicle which ensures that it is communicating directly with the ECU. The Ghost can be installed without affecting factory settings, and it is virtually impossible for thieves to bypass the system using signal boosters.
When the Ghost is fitted the new and improved sequence to disarm must be entered to activate your car. This can be accomplished by pressing the service button on your vehicle five times within 2 seconds, while ensuring that it isn't repeatedly pressed for a long period of time. The system will then flash twice to indicate that Transport Mode has been activated. This feature is perfect for classic, sports and prestige vehicles that require their security system to be temporarily disabled during transportation or during servicing.
After the Transport Mode is activated your immobiliser will become disabled and you are unable to restart it by entering the PIN code. This feature is perfect for those who wish to store their vehicle over the winter months, thus preventing it from being stolen by thieves or having to deal with monthly increases in insurance premiums.
There are no key-fobs, LEDs or other indicators to reveal its location
The Ghost immobiliser is a discrete device that shields your pride and joy from car thieves by utilizing buttons on your dashboard or steering wheel to input a discreet pin code prior to the start of the engine. It protects against attacks using signal relays, ECU swapping and key cloning. It also connects to a mobile application to arm or disarm remotely. It's simple to install, and can be installed in a range of vehicles. It's also extremely discreet and can be hidden in difficult-to-access places, such as behind the dashboard or within the trim on the steering wheel.

The device can also send an alert to your mobile when you've left the vehicle unattended in public areas, giving you peace of mind while you're away from your vehicle.
The Ghost is different from other immobilisers as it does not require 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 highly resistant to detection. It does not emit radio signals, so it is not detected by signal jammers or RF scanners.
It is designed to be tamper-proof and weatherproof. It can also stand up to extreme temperatures. It is also impossible to alter by cutting wires, or dismantling it. Moreover, it doesn't require any cuts in the circuit to function, which means it's inaccessible to organized gangs of thieves that employ diagnostics reading devices to identify fitted security systems. It's also not affected by professional auto diagnostics equipment which checks 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 car, beneath the dashboard or steering wheel and makes use of buttons in your car to generate an individual PIN code sequence which must be entered before the engine can start. This means that even if the criminal does have your keys they can't drive the car away as they would not be able to identify the correct PIN sequence. The device does not transmit any radio signals, meaning that organized criminal gangs that use diagnostics reading devices will not be able to detect the device.
This advanced immobiliser, that is also TASSA-approved, will aid in reducing the cost of insurance. This is especially true for modified vehicles that owners have customized. It also prevents key theft and ECU switching, meaning that the only way for a thief to take your pride and happiness is to take it away. it away.
As the system does not make use of the key fobs that are supplied by the factory or the dashboard buttons, it is completely silent and communicates with your ECU through the CAN data circuit which is completely silent and doesn't even indicate that it's fitted. This means that thieves cannot replace the ECU or install new key fobs to get your car to start.
Should you ever forget your PIN code our engineers will provide you with an emergency reset option for the device, which allows you to enter'service mode'. More Material will allow the dealer or technician to temporarily start and drive your car enabling them to carry out maintenance work, MOTs or valet parking without having to enter the PIN code again. After the technician has finished or you have collected the vehicle then enter the PIN code to exit service mode.
No radio signals
The Ghost immobiliser, unlike other car security systems, does not rely on alarm systems or key fobs to block vehicles from getting started. It communicates with the vehicle's ECU, the CAN data circuit, and other circuits to prevent the engine from starting. This makes it a discreet solution that is not affected by key cloning or RF scanning techniques employed by thieves to bypass other security devices. It can be used in conjunction with tracking devices to increase the safety of your vehicle. You will also receive alerts if attempts are made to alter or steal.
