Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Installation
Ghost immobilisers are the newest technology in vehicle security. They are revolutionary as they shield your vehicle from key-cloning and hacking.
The system requires the correct PIN code to start your vehicle. This is done by pressing the buttons on the dashboard or steering wheel.
TASSA Approved
The new TASSA verified Ghost-II CAN immobiliser from Autowatch is a revolutionary device that was designed to tackle the latest car crime trends, including key hacking and cloning. This smart system can connect directly to your vehicle's CAN data network, preventing your vehicle from being driven or started without the proper code. The system is undetectable, and does not use radio frequencies or key fobs. Instead, it lets you create a unique sequence of PINs using buttons on your dashboard or the steering wheel, which you can modify at any time. The PIN can be as long as up to 20 presses long for maximum security. A secure emergency code is also included.
The system communicates with the vehicle's CAN data network in order to determine when the PIN has been entered. This then sends a message to the vehicle that disables the ignition and engine, and shuts down crucial components such as the starter motor as well as the fuel pump. The system also has the option of a "valet mode" that allows you to turn off the system and stop your car from being driven by valets or service center personnel who do not have the correct key.
The Ghost device is distinct from traditional immobilisers that can be disarmed using professional diagnostic tools. It uses the onboard network to communicate with ECUs, and it cannot be tampered. It's a sealed device, which means it is impossible to access the circuits, which makes it virtually impossible for thieves to hear the tell-tale clicking noise that traditional immobiliser relays produce.
This technology is also not vulnerable to jamming devices used by high-tech thieves. Additionally, because it is based on the CAN data network it's also unaffected by other diagnostic tools. This makes it a great anti-theft solution for every modern car.
We'll come to your home or office to install the system once you've booked it. We'll run through a full demonstration with you and will then provide you with an owner manual and an emergency card as well as two Autowatch window stickers as well as an installation certificate.
Insurance Approved
The Ghost is a security device that is installed aftermarket and protects you from the types of thieves interested in stealing a vehicle. It prevents your engine from starting until a specific sequence of buttons is pressed. The only person to know the sequence is you. If your vehicle is stolen and the thieves are able to start it and leave your car alone in fear. The
ghost Installer has a'silent' mode that disables the vehicle when not being used. It can be turned off by pressing a button.
The system is fully TASSA (Tracker and Aftermarket security systems association) insurance approved, meaning it is recognized by some insurance companies as an additional security measure on your vehicle. It can be used in conjunction with other Thatcham approved security measures, such as trackers to help prevent your vehicle from being stolen and also gives you security.
The system also communicates with the ECU of your vehicle via the CAN data loop which is inaudible to diagnostic tools. The Ghost is not able to be bypassed by a burglar simply by adding a new key to the vehicle or replacing the ECU. The system will only allow your car to start when the correct pin code is entered. This unique pin code is only known by you & can be changed at any time.
The Ghost is a very discreet immobiliser that can be fitted to almost all vehicles without the need for wiring or the addition of aftermarket key fobs. It is linked directly to the vehicles data network CAN and a personalised PIN code of your choice is programmed into it using existing buttons on the steering wheel and dashboard. This code will stop the vehicle from being started unless the correct sequence of events has been selected first. If the code is misinterpreted, there are emergency codes that are secure which can be reset using your mobile phone. There is also an application that works on iOS and
Ghost Installer Android to decrease the requirement to enter pins every time, providing greater security.
Discreet
Contrary to an GPS tracker which only assists with finding your car after it's stolen, an immobiliser device stops the vehicle from being taken in the first place. This is accomplished by stopping the engine from running until the correct code is retrieved from the key fob or an app downloaded onto the smartphone. This is a great method to stop wheel-jacking and other forms of theft, as the thief is forced to leave the car alone or risk being caught.
The ghost immobiliser, a small weatherproof device, fits inside your vehicle's wiring harness. It is concealed and has a connection with the CAN data network. This means that thieves can't identify it or disable it by cutting wires. It also has the option of a service mode that can be turned on to allow your garage to work on your vehicle without needing to know the passcode required for it to start.
Once the device has been installed in your vehicle, it is able to be disarmed and armed using an app on your smartphone. You can change the PIN code at any time you wish to ensure that you're the only person who has access to your vehicle. This is helpful if you're planning to sell your vehicle in the near future, as it will increase its price of resales.
The Ghost immobiliser also has a great feature: it's discreet and doesn't leave any marks on the interior car's body which makes it a great addition to any vehicle. It's easy to fit it, is silent and will not disrupt any other systems in your vehicle.
A subtle immobiliser can enhance the look and feel your car. This is particularly beneficial for those who use their vehicles to transport valuable objects, because it will discourage thieves from stealing your items. Ghost immobilisers work in conjunction with any other anti-theft device, such as trackers to provide unrivalled protection for your vehicle.
Low Maintenance
Ghost immobilisers work by connecting directly to the CAN data network. They are virtually undetectable, as they don't use LED indicators or additional key fobs. It doesn't emit radio signals, and it is also silent so thieves can't hear it. It can be hidden in a variety of locations (even under the floor mats) and is a great choice for those who want to protect their car without sacrificing aesthetics.
This device stops your car from starting unless you enter the password that is unique to you. This is done using the combination of buttons on your dashboard and the steering wheel in a particular sequence. This will prevent hackers from cloning or hacking into your system, and prevent them from starting your vehicle.
The Ghost will recognize this attempt to increase your signal and prevent your car from starting until the correct disarming code is entered. Unlike other security systems that can be activated by entering a wrong code, the Ghost will not allow your vehicle from starting until you input the correct passcode.
The
ghost installer will remain in service mode until you put it back into "service" which is activated by pressing the same button combination as you used to arm it (this is possible when you visit your dealer to perform maintenance or warranty work). This is to stop it from being taken off by people who are not authorized and to ensure it's ready to be rearmed if needed.
If you decide to switch vehicles during your ownership, it is possible to transfer the Ghost to the new vehicle, provided that the new vehicle is compatible.
