Many owners are upgrading their security due to the rising number of vehicle thefts. There are many different types of aftermarket security devices including tracking systems, alarms and immobilisers. Not all of them are equally effective at protecting your vehicle.

ghost 2 immobiliser fitting near me device generates a unique sequence which must be entered before the car's engine can start. This can be done via the indicator stalk or window buttons. In addition it is possible to use an app on mobile that acts as an emergency PIN code override and allows the driver to operate the car without the button sequence. This feature is particularly beneficial if you have to hand your car over to a valet service or parking since the immobiliser will still be activated, but not disabled.

Small, weatherproof device
The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is an advanced security system that protects your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and ECU swapping. It is a weatherproof tiny device that communicates directly with your vehicle's ECU over the CAN data bus, which disables the engine. It can be plugged into the vehicle without the need for additional wiring and has been thoroughly tested to ensure that it is compatible with all vehicles. It is also indestructible to jamming devices, which is the most common method used by thieves to bypass existing immobilisers.
The benefit of CAN data over conventional systems is that they work silently. It is not able to be detected by sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing technologies as well as recognized by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost doesn't emit LED indicators and instead uses the buttons in your vehicle like the steering wheel or centre console panels to create a unique, customizable disarm sequence. You can make this sequence as long as 20 presses for added security. The iPhone app allows only one connection, with a unique pairing code for the Ghost. All communication between the two devices 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 only if a valid PIN has been entered. It can also be put into Valet/Service mode for
Ghost Immobiliser Problems temporary operation (with set parameters such as 30mph speed limit) so that you can give your car to a valet service for servicing without the need to enter a PIN.
Each vehicle is tested
The Autowatch Ghost is a first-of-its-kind aftermarket immobiliser for CANbus. It can be connected to the vehicle's wiring and to the engine control unit (ECU). The device intercepts electronic signals that block the system of your vehicle from running its normal start-up routine until you input a custom passcode. The system can be turned off or on via your smartphone's app, without the need for extra wires.
Standard factory immobilisers on automobiles function through an electronic transponder in the key that sends an indication to the ECU. If the correct code is sent the car will begin, but if a transponder is replaced with one from another vehicle the immobiliser will not recognise it. This allows the vehicle to be stolen and started. A South African company that is at the forefront of car security systems technology has developed the Ghost immobiliser. It protects your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and even key theft. Only by physically towing your car away could a thief steal it and not be able to drive the vehicle.
Ghost utilizes the buttons of your vehicle including the indicator stalk, steering wheel and door panels to generate an unique PIN code that is changeable that must be entered prior to you can drive. This is done without the need for extra hardware such as a key-fob and can be as long as 20 presses long. It is also inaccessible to devices for diagnosis and transmits radio frequency signals, which means thieves cannot make use of sophisticated RF scanners or code grabbing technologies to identify that an installation has been made.
Ghost is more difficult to get rid of than car alarms that require disarming using a series of buttons. This makes it an excellent alternative to a GPS tracker which helps locate your vehicle after it has been stolen.
Override of emergency PIN code
You don't need to look far on social media to see stories or even videos of vehicles that were stolen by thieves using the most advanced technology tools available to them. This includes key-cloning devices and hacking devices that allow them to start your vehicle without your original key fobs.
Our Ghost immobiliser is designed to combat this and offer an extra layer of security to protect your vehicle from being targeted by thieves.

The unique override pin is found on a black plastic card that you will receive after your installation. It is simple to remember because there aren't any LED indicators.
The device is hidden in the wiring of the vehicle and does not emit radio signals. Therefore, it cannot be detected by diagnostic software that can tell the type of security system you have installed. This makes it an excellent alternative to a tracking device.
Contrary to other security systems which rely on a relay in the engine bays, immobilisers CANBUS communicate through CAN databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the car. This allows them to disable the vehicle completely through the use of a digital block of commands that is sent to both the ECU and the engine.
These systems can also be connected to a separate analogue alarm immobiliser, tracker or alarm. This must be specified prior to installation. They are also service/valet mode-compatible and a good alternative to a tracker having your car in for repair at the dealers.
