TASSA Approved
The new TASSA verified Ghost-II CAN immobiliser from Autowatch is a revolutionary device designed to combat recent car crime trends, including key hacking and cloning. This sophisticated system can connect directly to your vehicle's CAN data network, preventing your vehicle from being started or driven without the proper code. The system is completely undetectable and doesn't use radio frequencies or keys, but instead it lets you create a unique PIN sequence through existing buttons in your vehicle such as those on your steering wheel or dashboard, which you can change at anytime. The PIN can be up to 20 times long for maximum security. A secure emergency code is also available.
The system works by communicating with the vehicle's CAN data network to determine the moment a particular PIN is entered. It then sends a signal to the vehicle which disables the engine and ignition, and shuts down vital components such as the starter motor and fuel pump. The system also provides the option of a "valet mode" that allows you to turn off the system and block your vehicle from being driven by valets or service center personnel who do not have the correct key.
In contrast to traditional immobiliser relays which can be disabled with readily available diagnostic tools for professionals, the Ghost device uses the onboard data network to communicate with the ECU and cannot be altered with. It's a sealed unit and therefore, it is impossible to listen in to the circuits. This makes it nearly impossible for thieves to hear that distinctive click sound that traditional immobiliser relays emit.
This technology is also not susceptible to jamming devices used by high-tech thieves. Furthermore, since it is based on the CAN data network, it's not detectable by other diagnostic tools. This means it's a perfect anti-theft solution for every modern vehicle.
We'll visit your home or office to perform the installation once you have booked the installation. We will walk you through the entire process with you, and then provide you with the owner's manual, emergency cards, two

Distinction
An immobiliser, unlike a GPS tracker, which only aids you locate your car after it's been stolen, stops the vehicle from ever being stolen in the first instance. It does this by stopping the engine from starting unless it receives the correct code from the key fob or a smartphone application downloaded to it. This is a great way to stop wheel-jacking and other forms of theft because the person who is stealing has no choice but to leave the car alone or risk being caught.
The ghost immobiliser, a small weatherproof device, is tucked away in the wiring harness of your vehicle. It has a connection to the CAN data network and is hidden away so that thieves cannot find it or disarm it through simple wire cutting. The system comes with a service mode that can be set to permit your garage to work on your car without having to know the passcode.
After you've had the device fitted to your vehicle it will be able to arm and disarm it with your smartphone using its dedicated application. You can change the PIN code whenever you wish to ensure that you're the only person who has access to your car. This is useful in case you're planning to sell your car in the future since it will increase its resale value.
Another advantage of the Ghost immobiliser is that it's discreet and will leave no marks on the body of your vehicle which makes it a great option for any vehicle. It's simple to install and operates quietly, and will not disrupt the other systems inside your car.

Unlike other security systems that can be activated through entering the wrong code and the Ghost will continue to block your vehicle from starting until you type the correct passcode.
The Ghost will remain in service mode until you put it back into 'service' which is activated by pressing the same button combination that you did to arm it, (this can be done at the time you visit your dealer for maintenance or warranty work).
