Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser will safeguard your valuable item from theft. It's discreet and doesn't require additional key fobs.
The device makes use of the buttons in your vehicle (steering wheel doors, door panels, and the centre console) to create a unique changeable pin code sequence up to 20 presses. This allows your vehicle to begin.
Simple process to change the PIN code
With the increasing rate of vehicle theft, many owners are looking to upgrade their security. There are a variety of security products that are available from tracking systems to immobilisers and alarms. However there are a few that are equally efficient in protecting your vehicle. A tracking system can assist you in locating your car if it is stolen however it cannot prevent the crime. An immobiliser, on the other hand, does exactly what it says on the label: it shuts off your car's engine so that it cannot be started. The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most sophisticated options available, making it almost impossible for thieves to steal your vehicle.
The ghost device utilizes the buttons on your car to generate a unique sequence that must be entered in order for the engine to begin. This can be accomplished using the indicator stalk, window or heater buttons. In addition to this, there is also an app on mobile that can act as an emergency PIN code bypass and allow the driver to operate the car without the button sequence. This is an excellent option if you want to give your car to valet parking or for maintenance. The immobiliser will remain in operation.
The Ghost is a unique and innovative device that works in conjunction with buttons on your vehicle instead of being a separate unit. This means that it's not just a powerful deterrent against vehicle theft but also a transferable device to any future vehicles you own, making it more of an investment than a traditional steering wheel lock.
Small device that is weatherproof
The Autowatch
ghost car immobiliser immobiliser is an advanced security system that protects your pride and joy against key cloning,
installation hacking and 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 to jamming devices, which is the most common method used by thieves to get around existing immobilisers.
The advantage of CAN data over traditional systems is that they operate in a silent manner. It can't be detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technologies and is also undetectable by traditional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost does not produce LED indications and uses the buttons on your vehicle, such as the steering wheel, centre console or door panels to create a unique, changeable disarm sequence. The sequence can be extended by 20 presses to provide additional security. The iPhone app allows a single, authorised connection using the pairing code unique to the Ghost and the communication between the two is encrypted.
The Ghost prevents car thieves adding an ignition key replacement or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser. The engine will only start if a valid PIN code is entered. It can also be put into Valet/Service mode for temporary operation (with defined parameters like a 30mph speed limit) to allow you to transfer your vehicle to a valet service or for servicing without the need to enter a pin code.
Each vehicle is tested
The Autowatch Ghost is a first-of-its-kind aftermarket immobiliser CANbus. It can be connected to the wiring of your vehicle and to the engine control unit (ECU). The device intercepts signals to stop your car from starting up normally until you enter a custom code. The system can be activated and deactivated through your smartphone's app without the need for wires.
Standard factory immobilisers on vehicles function by using an electronic transponder in the key that sends an electronic signal to the ECU. The car will begin to start if the correct code is sent. If, however, the transponder of a different vehicle is used instead, the immobiliser won't recognise it. This allows the vehicle to be stolen and then started. The Ghost immobiliser was developed by a South African company at the top of the line in vehicle security technology. It guards you against key cloning or hacking, and even key theft. The only way that a burglar could steal your car is physically towing it away and even then they wouldn't be capable of driving it.
Ghost makes use of the buttons on your vehicle, including the indicator stalk along with the steering wheel, indicator stalk and door panels to create an individual PIN sequence that can be changed that needs to be entered before you are able to use your car. This is done without the need for additional hardware, such as keys-fobs, and can be as long as 20 presses long. It is also unrecognizable by diagnostic equipment and does transmit radio frequency signals, so thieves are not able to use 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, which require disarming with a series of buttons. This makes it an excellent complement to a GPS tracker which helps locate your car after it's been stolen.
Override of emergency PIN code
You do not have to go far on social media to find stories or even videos of vehicles that have been taken by thieves using the latest technology tools available to them. Key-cloning devices, for instance, and hacking tools that allow thieves to start the vehicle with your original keys.
The Ghost immobiliser has been designed to stop this and offer an extra layer of security to prevent your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It generates an individual pin code by pushing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel, and the centre console. This unique PIN is entered in conjunction with your original key fob in order to stop the engine from starting. The unique override pin can be found on a black card which you will receive following your installation. It is simple to remember since there aren't any LED indicators.
The device is hidden in the wiring of the vehicle and does not emit radio signals. This means it can't be detected using diagnostic software that can tell the type of security system you have installed. This makes it a fantastic alternative to a tracker.
In contrast to other security systems that use an engine relay bay these CANBUS Immobilisers communicate with the vehicle's ECU and BCM via CAN data bus (brand dependent). This enables them to shut down the vehicle completely by sending the use of a digital block of commands to both the ECU and the engine.
They can also be connected to an analog alarm immobiliser, tracker or alarm. This must be specified prior to the installation. They are also service/valet mode compatible and are a great alternative to a tracker you are taking your car in for repair at the dealers.
Service/Valet Mode
In recent years there has been an rise in the number of vehicles being stolen with no owner's keys. With easy access to key cloning equipment & door lock pick sets, it is now much easier for thieves to take your joy and pride. We have developed the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It blocks your car from being driven, even if your keys have been cloned.
It connects directly to your cars ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN data circuit. It's completely quiet since it doesn't utilize radio frequencies or keys fobs. It can't be detected by diagnostics or any other hacking device.
