Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
The renowned Ghost Immobiliser provides your vehicle with the most advanced security against key cloning, hacking and theft. This TASSA verified system remains undetectable to thieves and prevents them from starting your car.
This silent device makes use of buttons on your car's steering wheel, centre console and door panels to allow you to create a unique, PIN sequence that can be changed up to 20 characters which must be entered prior to the car can begin.
Easy to install
It is more important than ever that you protect your vehicle. With car thefts increasing and cloning devices readily available, it's essential to protect your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a secure and discreet aftermarket solution that protects against key-cloning and vehicle theft. It is virtually undetectable to thieves and operates via existing buttons in the steering wheel, door panels or centre console. This allows customers to create an individual disarm sequence similar to that of credit cards, which have to be entered before the vehicle can start or leave. This makes the system almost impossible to detect and is not affected by jamming or spoofing devices that are used in other systems on the market.
Installation of the Ghost unit requires a highly-skilled installer. The unit is carefully incorporated into the vehicle's CAN bus network and ensures that it is directly connected to the ECU. This allows the Ghost to be installed without changing factory settings and ensures that it cannot be bypassed by a thief using signal boosters or other techniques.
After the Ghost is installed the new and improved disarm sequence must be entered to turn on your car. Press the service button five times in 2 seconds, but be sure you don't hold it down for too long. The system will blink twice to signal that Transport Mode has been activated. This feature is ideal for classic, sports or prestige vehicles that need to have their security system temporarily disabled during transportation or servicing.
Once the Transport Mode is activated, your immobiliser will be disabled and you cannot activate it again by entering the PIN code. This feature is great for those who would like to store their cars during the winter months to keep theft, or to avoid paying higher insurance premiums.
There are no keyfobs, LEDs, or other indicators to assist you in finding it.
The Ghost immobiliser is a discrete device that guards your car from thieves who steal cars by using buttons on your steering wheel or dashboard to input an unobtrusive pin code prior the start of the engine. It can be linked with an application on your phone to arm or disarm remotely. It blocks signal relays, ECU swapping, and key cloning. It's easy to install and can be fitted to a variety of vehicles. It's also extremely stealthy and can be concealed in a difficult-to-find location, such as behind the dashboard or inside the trim of the steering wheel.
This is a great choice for vehicles with high performance since it will disable your vehicle's ignition if the wrong pin code has been entered. This will stop thieves from driving away with your joy and pride. The device can also send an alert to your phone when you've left the vehicle unattended in public areas, giving you peace of brain when you're away from your car.
The Ghost is unlike other immobilisers in that it doesn't require any additional fobs or LED indicators. It is also able to be concealed in an area that is difficult to reach your vehicle. It is extremely resistant to detection because it directly communicates with the CAN data network in your vehicle. It doesn't emit radio signals so it is inaccessible to signal jammers or RF scanners.
It's made to be tamperproof and weatherproof, and is able to stand up to extreme temperatures. It's also impossible to tamper with by cutting the wires or dismantling the device. It is also undetectable by organised gangs of thieves who employ diagnostics reading devices to detect security systems. car stolen with ghost immobiliser is not affected by professional diagnostic equipment that analyzes CAN data for the presence or absence of a security system.
No circuit cuts
With no LED indications or key fobs that can reveal its location, the ghost device is hidden inside your car, under the steering wheel or dashboard and utilizes buttons inside your car to generate a unique PIN code sequence that must be entered before the engine can start. This means that even if the thief does have your keys they are unable to drive the vehicle away since they do not be able to identify the correct PIN sequence. The device does not transmit radio signals, so organised gangs of thieves using tools for reading diagnostics will be not able to detect it.
This advanced immobiliser, that is also TASSA-approved can assist you in reducing the cost of insurance. This is especially relevant to vehicles that their owners have customized. It also helps prevent key theft and ECU switching, which means that the only possible method for a criminal to steal your pride and happiness is to take it away. it.
The system is completely quiet as it doesn't use buttons on the dashboard or factory keys. It communicates with the ECU using the CAN data circuit, which is completely silent and doesn't give any indication that it was installed. This means that a burglar will not be able to make new key fobs or even replace the ECU to get your car to start and therefore negates any other theft methods that have been used in recent years, such as key cloning, RF scanning and code grabbing.
If you ever forget your PIN code, our engineers provide you with an emergency reset for the device which allows you to enter 'service mode'. This allows a technician or dealer to temporarily drive and start your vehicle, allowing them to perform MOTs, maintenance work, or valet parking. Once the technician is done or you have collected the vehicle, enter the PIN code to exit service mode.
No radio signals
In contrast to other security systems the Ghost immobiliser doesn't use an alarm system or key fobs to block vehicles from getting started. It instead communicates with the vehicle's ECU, the CAN data circuit, and other circuits to prevent the engine starting. This makes it a discrete solution that isn't affected by key cloning techniques or RF scanning techniques employed by thieves to circumvent other security devices. It can also be used with tracking systems to improve the security of your vehicle. It can also alert you to any attempted theft or tampering.
The Autowatch Ghost is a TASSA-certified device that is approved by insurance and offers superior protection against key hacking, copying, and even theft.

Ghost is not without problems. A common issue is that users have difficulty to enter the correct disarm sequence. The device requires input from buttons already present on your vehicle such as those found on the steering column or console. Some people may find it difficult to remember or get wrong especially when the device is being used for the first time. It is recommended to read the instruction manual that comes with the device and practice the disarming process prior to driving.
A third issue is that certain vehicles have issues with the CAN data connections, which could affect Ghost's performance. This can be caused by faulty sensors or a damaged OBD port. It is recommended to test the system again before using it, in the event that the CAN connection has any issues.
It is simple to change the PIN code
The Ghost is a great product that has become a huge hit on the market. However, the process of changing the pin code can be confusing. The device is programmed by the installer at the moment of installation, but users may wish to alter it due to a variety of reasons. For instance they may prefer an alternative button that disables the device or not want their installer to be aware. It is also possible that they not like the pin code they currently have. The good news is the change over to a new pin number is incredibly easy. Follow the steps below to learn how.
It is important to note that you need to turn off the ignition but DO NOT start your vehicle! This process only takes just a few minutes. The vehicle will then return to normal operation.
