Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser
Guard your precious possessions against theft by using the Ghost Immobiliser. It's discreet and does not require additional key fobs.
The device utilizes buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels doors, door panels and the centre console) to generate a unique pin sequence that can be changed up to 20 times. This will then allow your vehicle to begin.
Simple change of PIN code
Many homeowners are upgrading their security due to the increase in vehicle theft. There are many types of aftermarket security devices available including tracking systems, alarms and immobilisers. However there are ghost immobiliser for sale that are equally efficient in protecting your vehicle. While a tracking system may help you find your car in the event of theft, it can not stop the crime from happening in the first instance. Immobilisers, on the contrary, does exactly what it says on the tin: it shuts down your car's engine so that it cannot be started. The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most sophisticated options available, making it virtually impossible for thieves to steal your car.
The ghost device makes use of the buttons on your car to create an unique sequence that needs to be entered to allow the engine to start. This can be done using the heater, window or indicator stalk buttons. There is also a mobile application that can be used as an emergency PIN override, which allows the driver to operate their car without the need to use the button sequence. This is an excellent option if you want to give your car to valet parking or maintenance. The immobiliser remains active.
The Ghost is an innovative and unique device that works with the buttons of your vehicle instead of as a separate unit. It's not just an effective deterrent to theft of your vehicle and vandalism, but it can be used to secure any future vehicles you may own. This makes it a better investment than a traditional wheel lock.
Small device that is weatherproof
The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is a high-tech security device that protects your pride and joy against key cloning, hacking & ECU swapping. It is a tiny weatherproof device that connects with the ECU of your vehicle directly through the CAN bus to stop the motor. It can be fitted into the vehicle without wiring and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It also is resistant to jamming devices that are an approach used frequently by car thieves to circumvent the immobilisers in place.
The benefit of using CAN data is that it operates in a silent manner when compared to conventional systems. It's not detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology and is also unrecognizable by traditional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost doesn't emit LED indications and uses the buttons inside your vehicle, such as the steering wheel or centre console panels to create a unique, changeable disarm sequence. The sequence can be extended to up to 20 presses for extra security. The iPhone app allows only one, authenticated connection with a pairing code that is unique to the Ghost and communication between the two is secured.
The Ghost prevents car thieves adding a new ignition key or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser. The engine will only start when a valid PIN code has been entered. It can also be put into valet/service mode for a temporary operation (with specified parameters, such as a 30mph speed limit) so that you can hand your car over to a valet service to be serviced without needing to enter a PIN.
Tested for each vehicle
The Autowatch Ghost is the world's first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that is able to be connected to your vehicle's existing wiring and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device is able to intercept signals and stop your car from operating normally until you enter a custom code. The system can be turned on and off by using your smartphone's app without the need for additional wires.
The factory-installed immobilisers function by using a transponder, which is integrated into the key. It transmits a message to the ECU. If the correct code is sent the car will start however, if the transponder is swapped with one from another vehicle the immobiliser won't recognize it. This enables the vehicle to be started and stolen. The Ghost immobiliser has been developed by a South African company at the forefront of vehicle security systems technology. It safeguards your car from hacking, key cloning and even key theft. The only way a thief could take your car is physically towing it away, and even then they would not be capable of driving it.
Ghost makes use of buttons on your vehicle, including the indicator stalk, steering wheel, and the doors, to generate unique PIN codes that needs to be entered in order to use your vehicle. This is done without any extra hardware, such as key fobs. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also unrecognizable by diagnostic equipment and does transmit radio frequency signals, which means thieves cannot make use of sophisticated RF scanners or code-grabbing technologies to detect that a system has been installed.
Unlike physical anti-theft devices like clamps or wheel locks Ghost is concealed within the vehicle, so it cannot be taken away or disabled by thieves. It's more difficult to remove than a car alarm, which requires disarming with the use of a button sequence. This makes it a great alternative to a GPS tracker which helps locate your car after it has been taken.
Emergency PIN code override
You don't need to look far on social media to find stories or even videos of vehicles that have been stolen by car thieves using the most advanced technology tools available to them. This includes key-cloning and hacking devices that allow them to start your vehicle without your original key fobs.
The Ghost immobiliser helps combat this and gives you an additional layer of security to prevent your vehicle from being stolen in the event of being targeted by thieves. It creates a unique pin code push sequence from your existing buttons on the steering wheel, door panel and centre console. The unique pin code is entered along with your original key fob to prevent the engine from getting started. The unique PIN for override is on the black card you will receive after installation. It is simple to remember since there are no LED indicators.
The device is hidden in the wiring of your vehicle and doesn't emit radio signals. This means it can't be detected using diagnostic software that can determine what type of security systems you have installed. This makes it a fantastic alternative to a tracking device.
Unlike other security systems, which rely on a relay in the engine bay, these CANBUS immobilisers communicate via CAN databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the car. This allows them to block the vehicle completely by sending an electronic block to the ECU and engine.
It is also possible to connect an analog immobiliser, alarm, or tracker to these systems but this must be specified before installing the device. They are also fully service/valet mode-compatible and a good alternative to a tracker when having your car in for repairs to an electrical issue at the dealers.
Service/Valet Mode
In recent times, there has been a rise in the number of vehicles being stolen from owners without keys. With easy access to key cloning equipment and door lock pick sets it is now much easier for thieves to steal your pride and joy. To prevent this from happening, we now offer the Autowatch Ghost immobiliser that prevents your vehicle from being driven despite the fact that your keys have been copied or your vehicle has been stolen.
It communicates directly to your cars ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN data circuit. It's completely quiet since it doesn't use radio frequency or a key fob. This means that it can't be detected by diagnostics or other vehicle hacking devices. It also stops you from introducing the new ECU or key to circumvent the system, because only the PIN number allows the engine to start.
The device is hidden within your car and is accessible via buttons on your steering wheel, centre console, and door panels. Before you can start your car, you must enter a unique and reversible PIN code up to 20 digits.
This is the first aftermarket immobiliser CAN bus that has been developed that can prevent your car being driven away or started without a PIN code being entered before. If you're driving away with the device arming the indicator will flash on your dashboard which will flash continuously for about 300m. Entering your PIN code will disable the anti-hijack. Your car will continue to run just as normal. If you don't enter your PIN at this time the indicator will continue to flash and require a new PIN every time you attempt to start your car.
