Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser
Guard your precious possessions from theft by using the Ghost Immobiliser. It's discreet and does not require additional key fobs.
The device uses 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 startup of your vehicle.
Simple process to change the PIN code
With the increasing rate of vehicle thefts, many owners are looking to upgrade their security. There are a variety of security gadgets that are sold aftermarket that range from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. However they do not all are equally effective in protecting your car. While a tracking device can help you find your car in the event of theft, it will not prevent the crime from occurring in the first instance. An immobiliser, on other hand, does exactly what it says on the label: it shuts off the engine of your vehicle so that it is unable to be started. The Autowatch
ghost immobilisers is one of the most advanced options available, making it almost impossible for thieves steal your car.
The ghost device utilizes the buttons on your car to create a unique sequence which must be entered in order for the engine to start. This can be accomplished by using the heater, window or indicator stalk buttons. Additionally,
alarm there is also an app for mobile devices that can function as an emergency PIN code override and allows the driver to operate the car without the button sequence. This is a great solution when you wish to donate your car to valet parking or for servicing. The immobiliser will remain in operation.
The Ghost is an innovative and unique device that works with the buttons of your vehicle instead of as a standalone device. This means that it's not just a highly effective security measure against theft from your vehicle but also a transferable device onto any other vehicles you have, making it more of an investment than a traditional steering wheel lock.
Small, weatherproof device
The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is an advanced security system that safeguards your car from key hacking and cloning. It also stops ECU swapping. It is a tiny weatherproof device that connects with the ECU of your vehicle directly over the CAN bus to stop the motor. It can be fitted into the vehicle without additional wiring, and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It is also resistant to jamming devices, which is a common technique used by thieves to bypass existing immobilisers.
The benefit of using CAN data is that it operates in a silent manner when compared to conventional systems. It isn't detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology and is also undetectable by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost doesn't produce LED indications and uses the buttons on your vehicle, such as the steering wheel or centre console panels to create a unique, customizable disarm sequence. You can even make this sequence as long as 20 presses to increase security. The iPhone app allows only one connection, using an individual pairing code for the
ghost immobiliser price. All communication between the two devices is encrypted.
The Ghost stops car thieves from adding an ignition key that is not in use or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser. The engine will only start if a valid PIN code is entered. It is also possible to put it into valet/service mode for a temporary operation (with defined parameters like a 30mph speed limit) to allow you to transfer your vehicle to a valet service or to be serviced without needing to enter a pin code.
Each vehicle is tested
The Autowatch Ghost is the world's first aftermarket immobiliser for CAN bus that is able to be connected to the existing wiring in your vehicle and
alarm connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device intercepts electronic signals to block the system of your vehicle from going through its normal startup routine until you input a custom passcode. The system can be activated or deactivated using your own smartphone application without the need for additional wires.
Standard factory immobilisers on vehicles work by having a transponder built into the key that transmits a signal to the ECU. If the correct code is transmitted the car will start however if the transponder is replaced with one from another vehicle the immobiliser won't recognize it. This allows the vehicle be stolen and started. A South African company that is at the forefront of safety systems technology has developed the Ghost immobiliser. It protects you from hacking or key cloning and even key theft. The only way that a burglar could take your car is physically towing it away, and even then they wouldn't be able to drive it.
Ghost utilizes the buttons of your vehicle, including the indicator stalk as well as the steering wheel and door panels to create an unique PIN sequence that can be changed that must be entered prior to you are able to use your car. It does this without additional hardware, like a keyfob. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also undetectable 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 the system has been set up.
Unlike physical anti-theft devices like clamps or wheel locks Ghost is covertly integrated into the vehicle so it can't be removed or disabled by thieves. It is also harder to remove than a car
alarm that requires disarming with a button sequence. This makes it a great alternative to a GPS tracking device, which can be used to locate your vehicle after it's stolen.
Emergency PIN code override
You don't need to go far on social media sites to find stories or even videos of vehicles that have been stolen by car thieves employing the latest technology tools available to them. This includes key-cloning and hacking devices that allow them to start your vehicle without the original key fobs.
The Ghost immobiliser was specifically designed to prevent this and offer an extra layer of security to prevent your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It works by creating an individual pin code push sequence using the buttons you have on the steering wheel, door panel, and the centre console. The unique pin code is entered alongside your original key fob to stop the engine from starting. The unique override pin is found on a black card that you receive following the installation. It is easy to remember since there are no LED indicators.
The device is hidden within the vehicle's wires, and doesn't emit any radio signals, which means it cannot be detected by modern thieves with diagnostic software that can identify the security system you have installed. This makes it a great alternative to a tracking device.
In contrast to other security systems that use a relay inside the engine bay these CANBUS Immobilisers communicate with the vehicle's ECU and BCM via the CAN data bus (brand dependent). This allows them to block a vehicle completely, by sending a digital block to the ECU and engine.
It is also possible to connect a separate analogue immobiliser, alarm or tracker with these systems but this must be stated prior to the installation of the device. They are also fully service/valet mode compatible and are a great alternative to a tracker you have your car checked for repairs to an electrical issue at the dealer.
Service/Valet Mode
In recent times, there has been a increase in vehicles being stolen with no owner's keys. With easy access to key cloning equipment and door lock pick sets it is now easier than ever for thieves to take your prized possessions. We have created the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser to combat this.
