Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser will safeguard your valuable property from theft. This system is discrete and doesn't 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 start.
Simple PIN Code Change Process
With the increasing rate of vehicle theft, many owners are seeking to improve their security. There are a variety of security products that are available for sale, from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. They're not all equally effective at protecting your car. A tracking device can assist you in locating your car if it is stolen, but it will not stop the crime. Immobilisers, on the contrary is exactly what says on the tin: it shuts down the engine of your vehicle to prevent it from being started. The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced options available, making it almost impossible for thieves steal your vehicle.
The ghost device uses the buttons on your car to generate an unique sequence that needs to be entered in order for the engine to start. This can be done using the indicator stalk or window buttons. There is also a mobile app that can be used as an emergency PIN override, which allows the driver to operate their vehicle without the need to use the button sequence. This is an excellent option when you wish to donate your car to valet parking or for maintenance. The immobiliser will stay active.
The Ghost is a truly unique and ingenious device that is used in conjunction with the buttons in your vehicle rather than as a separate unit. This means that it is not just a highly effective security measure against theft from your vehicle but it can also be transferred onto any other vehicles you may own, making it much more investment-wise than a traditional steering wheel lock.
Small, weatherproof device
The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is a sophisticated security device that shields your vehicle from key hacking and cloning. It also prevents ECU swapping. It is a tiny, weatherproof device that communicates with the ECU of your vehicle directly over the CAN bus to disable the motor. It can be installed in the vehicle without any wiring, and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It is also indestructible to jamming devices which is a common technique used by thieves to bypass the immobilisers in place.
The benefit of CAN data over conventional systems is that they work silently. It's not detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology and is also undetectable by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost doesn't use LED indicators and instead uses buttons in your vehicle, like the steering wheel, centre console, or door panels, to create a unique sequences for disarming. The sequence can be extended 20 presses for extra security. The iPhone app lets you make only one, authenticated connection with a pairing code that is unique to the Ghost and communication between the two is secured.
The
ghost installer will stop car thieves from putting in a new ignition key or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser. The engine can only be started if a valid PIN code is entered. It can also be put into Valet/Service mode for temporary operation (with specified parameters, such as a 30mph speed limit) so that you can hand your car over 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 CAN bus immobiliser that connects to your vehicle's existing wiring and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device snoops on electronic signals to block your car's system from going through its normal start-up routine until you input a custom passcode. The system can be turned on or off through your smartphone's app without the need for additional wires.
The standard factory immobilisers work by using a transponder, which is integrated into the key. This sends a message to the ECU. If the correct code is transmitted the car will start, but if a transponder is replaced with one from a different vehicle, the immobiliser won't recognize it. This allows the vehicle be stolen and then started. The Ghost immobiliser was developed by a South African company at the forefront of vehicle security systems technology. It shields your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and even key theft. The only way thieves could take your car is physically towing it away, and even then they wouldn't be able to drive it.
Ghost makes use of buttons on your vehicle, such as the indicator stalk, the steering wheel, as well as the door panels, to generate a unique PIN code that must be entered in order to use your vehicle. This is done without additional hardware, like keys fobs. It can take up to 20 presses. It is also inaccessible to devices for diagnosis and transmits radio frequency signals, so thieves cannot use sophisticated RF scanners or code-grabbing technologies to detect that the system has been set up.
Ghost is harder to remove than car
alarms, which require disarming using several buttons. This makes it a perfect alternative to a GPS tracker that can assist in locating your car after it has been stolen.
Override of emergency PIN code
You do not have to look too far on social media to see stories or even videos of vehicles that have been stolen by car thieves employing the most advanced technology tools available to them. This includes key-cloning devices and hacking devices that allow the vehicle to start without the original keys.
Our Ghost immobiliser is designed to combat this and provide you with an additional layer of security to protect your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It generates a unique pin code by pushing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel, and centre console. The unique pin code is entered along with your original key fob in order to stop the engine from getting started. The unique PIN for override is on the black card that you will receive following installation and is easy to remember as there aren't any LEDs.
The device is hidden in the vehicle's wiring and doesn't emit any radio signals, which means it cannot be recognized by criminals with diagnostic software that can identify the security system you have installed. This makes it an excellent alternative to an electronic device for tracking.
In contrast to other security systems that rely on a relay located in the engine bays, immobilisers CANBUS communicate through CAN databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the vehicle. This allows them to disable the vehicle completely with an electronic block of commands that is sent to both the ECU and the engine.
It is also possible to connect an analogue immobiliser, alarm or tracker to these systems but this must be specified prior to installing the device. They are also service/valet mode-compatible and a great alternative to a tracker you are taking your car in for an electrical fault at the dealership.
Service/Valet mode
In recent times, there has been a increase in the number of vehicles that are stolen without owners' keys. It's easier than ever to steal your pride & joy thanks to the availability of key cloning tools and door lock picks. We have developed the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It blocks your car from being driven, even if you keys have been cloned.
It communicates directly to your cars ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN data circuit. It is completely silent because it does not utilize radio frequencies or key fobs. It isn't detected by diagnostics or any other hacking device.
