Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser is a renowned product that protects your vehicle from key-cloning hacking and theft. This TASSA confirmed system is undetectable to thieves and stops them from starting your car.
This device is silent and uses buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console, and the door panels of your vehicle to allow you to create an individual PIN code of up to 20 characters that needs to be entered prior to the car can start.
Easy to install
With car crime on the rise and cloning equipment readily available it is more important than ever to safeguard your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser provides a discrete, effective and aftermarket solution to guard against key-cloning and car theft. The device is almost indestructible to thieves, and operates through buttons on the steering wheel or the door panels. This enables customers to create a unique disarming sequence similar to credit cards that need to be entered before a car is able to be started or driven away. This makes the system virtually impossible to spot and is unaffected by spoofing or jamming devices that are used in other systems available.
The installation of the Ghost unit is a highly specialised process and should only be completed by an authorized installer. The unit is carefully integrated into the vehicle's CAN bus system, ensuring it communicates directly to the ECU. This allows the Ghost to be installed without changing the factory settings and guarantees that it cannot be bypassed by a thief using signal boosters or other techniques.
After the Ghost is installed, you will need to use a different and more efficient disarming sequence in order to activate your vehicle. This can be done by pressing the service button on your vehicle 5 times in 2 seconds, while ensuring that it's not repeatedly pressed for a long period of time. The system will flash twice to indicate that Transport Mode has been activated. This feature is ideal for classic, sports or prestige vehicles that require their security system to be temporarily disabled while transport or servicing.
Once Transport Mode has been activated, the immobiliser is disabled and cannot be reactivated by entering your PIN code again. This feature is great for those who would like to store their car during the winter months, and avoid being stolen by thieves or being liable for monthly insurance premium increases.
There are no key-fobs, LEDs or other indicators to indicate the location of the vehicle.
The Ghost immobiliser is a discrete device that shields your pride and joy from thieves who steal cars by using buttons on your dashboard or steering wheel to input a discreet pin code prior the start of the engine. It can be connected to a phone application to arm/disarm remotely. It also prevents signal relays, ECU swapping, and key cloning. It is easy to install, and is able to be fitted in a wide variety of vehicles. It's also extremely stealthy and can be concealed in a hard-to-reach place like behind the dashboard or within the steering wheel trim.
It's an excellent option for cars with high performance because it will disable the ignition system of your vehicle if an incorrect pin code is entered, which will stop thieves from stealing your joy and pride. The device will even send an alert to your mobile when you've left the vehicle unattended in public, giving you peace of mind while you're away from your vehicle.
The Ghost is unique to other immobilisers as it doesn't require additional fobs or LED indicators. It can also be hidden in a hard-to-find area of your vehicle. It is extremely resistant to detection because it directly communicates with the CAN data network of your vehicle. It also doesn't emit any radio signals, making it undetectable by RF scanners or signal jammers.
It is designed to be tamper-proof and weatherproof. It is also able to stand up to extreme temperatures. It's also not possible to interfere with by cutting the wires or dismantling the device. Furthermore, it doesn't require any circuit cuts to work and is therefore inaccessible to organized gangs of thiefs who use diagnostics reading devices to identify security systems that are fitted. It's also not affected by auto diagnostics equipment that is professional which checks the CAN data system for the presence of security devices.
No circuit cuts
The ghost device does not have any LED indicators or key fobs that would indicate its location. It is hidden under the steering wheel, dashboard or dashboard of your vehicle and makes use of buttons to create an unique PIN sequence that must be entered to turn on the engine. This means that even if the person who stole your keys does have them, they can't drive the car away since they do not know the correct PIN code sequence. The device does not transmit radio signals, so organized gangs of thieves using diagnostics reading tools are unable detect it.
This innovative immobiliser, which is also TASSA-approved, will help you reduce your insurance costs. This is especially applicable to modified vehicles that their owners have customised. It also stops key cloning theft as well as ECU swapping. how you can help means that the only way the thief can steal your joy and pride is to remove it.
Since the system doesn't utilize the factory key fobs or the dashboard buttons it is completely silent and communicates with your ECU via the CAN data circuit which operates completely silently and doesn't even indicate that it's fitted. This means that a burglar cannot replace the ECU or add new key fobs in order to get your car started.
If ghost immobiliser problems 've forgotten your PIN code, our engineers have provided you with a reset emergency for the device that allows you to enter "service mode". This allows an expert or dealer to temporarily start and drive your vehicle which allows them to carry out MOTs, maintenance work, or valet parking. Once the technician has finished their job or you've collected your vehicle, simply enter the PIN code and the device will go out of service mode dependent on speed and duration.
No radio signals
Unlike many other car security systems the Ghost immobiliser does not rely on an alarm system or key fobs to prevent vehicles from getting started. Instead, it communicates with the vehicle's ECU and CAN data circuits to prevent the engine from starting. This makes it a discreet solution that isn't affected by key cloning or RF scanning techniques used by thieves to bypass other security devices. It can be paired with tracking devices to increase the security of your vehicle. You will also be alerted if attempts are made to alter or steal.
The Autowatch Ghost, a TASSA certified device, is insurance approved, and offers superior protection against key hacking and copying. It is controlled by a mobile app and is secured to protect.

However, the Ghost is not without its difficulties. One common issue is that users have difficulty to find the correct disarm sequence. This is because the device requires input from buttons already in your vehicle, like those on the steering wheel or on the centre console. It isn't easy for drivers to remember, or they might get it wrong the first time around. It is best to read the user manual that comes with the device and then practice the disarming procedure prior to driving.
Another issue is that certain vehicles are experiencing issues with the CAN data connection, which can affect the functionality of the Ghost. This could be caused by defective sensors or a damaged OBD port. It is recommended to check the system before using it in the event that the CAN connector has any issues.

The device is pre-programmed via the installer when it's installed but sometimes customers might want to change this for different reasons such as they'd prefer to use a different button to deactivate the device, they don't want their installer to know, or they just simply don't like their current pin code. The good news is that the change over to a new pin number is extremely simple. Follow the steps below to learn how.
Be aware that you will need to turn the ignition on but DO NOT start your vehicle! This process takes only a few moments. The vehicle will then return to normal operation.
