Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser
Guard your precious possessions against theft with the Ghost Immobiliser. This system is discreet & does not require any additional key fobs to operate.
The device makes use of buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels, door panels and centre console) to generate a unique pin sequence that can be changed up to 20 times. This will then allow the vehicle to start.
Simple PIN code change process
Many homeowners are upgrading their security because of the increase in vehicle theft. There are a variety of security products that are available for sale that range from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. However they do not all are equally effective in protecting your car. While a tracking system may assist in finding your vehicle in the case of theft, it will not stop the crime from occurring in the first in the first place. Immobilisers, however, do exactly what they claim on the tin - they shut off your car's engine to prevent it from being started. The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced options on the market, making it nearly impossible for thieves to take your car.
The ghost device utilizes the buttons on your car to generate a unique sequence that must be entered to allow the engine to begin. This can be accomplished by using the heater, window or indicator stalk buttons. There is also a mobile app that can be used as an emergency PIN override, allowing the driver to operate their vehicle without having to use the button sequence. This is a great option if you want to give your car to valet parking or for servicing. The immobiliser will remain active.
The Ghost is an innovative and unique device that works by using the buttons on your vehicle rather than as a standalone device. This means it's not just a powerful security measure against theft from your vehicle but it can also be transferred to any future vehicles you own, making it much more of an investment than traditional steering wheel locks.
Weatherproof, tiny device
The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is a high-tech security system that protects your car from key cloning, hacking and ECU swapping. It is a tiny weatherproof device that communicates with the ECU of your vehicle directly through the CAN bus to disable the motor. It can be placed in the vehicle without the need for extra wiring, and has been thoroughly tested to make sure it is compatible with all vehicles. It also is resistant to jamming devices which are a typical technique that car thieves use to get around immobilisers.
The benefit of using CAN data is that it operates in a silent manner when compared to conventional systems. It is not able to be detected by sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing techniques, nor can it be identified by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost does not employ LED indicators, but instead uses buttons on your vehicle, such as the steering wheel, centre console, or doors, to create an unique sequence of disarming. This sequence can be extended 20 or more presses to provide additional security. The iPhone app permits one,
Ghost Immobiliser Problems authorized connection with the pairing code unique to the Ghost and communication between the two is secured.
The Ghost also stops car thieves from using a new key or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser to start the engine. It will only allow the engine to start only if the correct pin code is entered. It is able to be operated temporarily in Valet/Service mode (with the appropriate parameters, like a 30mph speed limit) and, therefore, you can give your car to an attendant or valet without having to enter a 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 operating normally until you enter a specific code. The system can be activated or deactivated through your smartphone's application without the need for wires.
The standard factory immobilisers function by using a transponder, which is built into the key. This sends a message to the ECU. The car will start if the correct code is sent. However, if the transponder from a different vehicle is used instead, the immobiliser will not recognise it. This allows the vehicle be stolen and then started. The Ghost immobiliser was developed by an South African company at the forefront of vehicle security systems technology. It guards you against key cloning or hacking, and even key theft. The only way thieves could take your car is by physically towing it away, and even then they would not be allowed to drive it.
Ghost makes use of buttons on your vehicle, including the indicator stalk, the steering wheel, as well as the doors, to generate unique PIN codes which must be entered to use your vehicle. It does this without additional hardware, like keys fobs. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also undetectable to diagnostics equipment and does not transmit radio frequency signals so thieves are not able to make use of sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing technology to detect that a security system has been installed.
ghost car immobiliser is harder to remove than car alarms that require disarming with a series of buttons. This makes it a perfect complement to a GPS tracker which helps locate your car after it has been stolen.
Emergency PIN code override
You don't have to look far on social media to find stories or videos about cars that have been stolen using the most advanced technology tools. This includes key-cloning devices and hacking devices that allow them to start your vehicle without your original key fobs.
The Ghost immobiliser helps combat this and provides you with an additional layer of security to prevent your vehicle from being taken in the event of being targeted by thieves. It generates a unique pin code by pushing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel and on the centre console. This unique PIN must be entered in conjunction with your original key fob to prevent the vehicle from getting started. The unique override pin can be located on a black card that you receive following your installation. It is easy to remember since there are no LED indicators.
The device is hidden in the vehicle's wires and doesn't emit any radio signals, therefore it can't be identified by modern criminals using diagnostic software that is able to recognise what type of security system you have installed. This makes it a fantastic alternative to an electronic device for tracking.
Unlike other security systems, which rely on a relay in the engine bay, these immobilisers using CAN communicate via databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the vehicle. This allows them to disable the vehicle completely with the use of a digital block of commands that is sent to both the ECU and the engine.
It is also possible to connect a separate analog immobiliser, alarm, or tracker with these systems, however this must be specified prior to installing the device. 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 dealer.
