The Ghost Immobiliser II by Autowatch is an innovative car security system that protects your vehicle from key-cloning, theft and hacking. In contrast to traditional systems that require a key from a fob the Ghost makes use of your vehicle's CAN data network to prevent access to your vehicle. The device is small and hidden within the wiring of your vehicle. It does not emit radio frequencies, which makes it impossible for thieves to locate.

The system requires a distinct pin-code sequence of pushes that you can change at any time. This is a sequence of between 4 and 21 button presses on any buttons within your car. You can also include obscure buttons like the rear demister or power windows that are difficult for thieves to recognize. Alternately, you can enable service/valet mode which allows you to enter your vehicle without the button disarm sequence, simply turn on the application on your iPhone and enter your PIN while you are inside the car.

Installing a Ghost system can reduce your insurance rates as it makes your vehicle less appealing to thieves. It is important to understand that this is subject to the terms and conditions of your insurance company. Certain insurance companies will offer discounts if they're aware that you have an aftermarket security system, whereas others may not.

The ghost system is simple to install, there is no need to remove your key fob, and it can be installed in the same spot. It also has a low impact on your vehicles engine and is easily removed to do valet or maintenance work. The system is very simple to use and can be activated with the push of a button on your smartphone or by entering your personal pin code.

After you have booked your installation at the time of booking, a member from Ghost's team will give you a demonstration of how the system operates. This is followed by the handover of an owner manual, installation certificate, and an Emergency Card. We will also make sure you are happy and confident about the system, before we leave.

Service mode

Many people buy a car to transport themselves around but for others, it is their pride and joy. When your car is something you cherish it's only natural to protect it with most modern technology. An Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the best ways to do this.

A small device, known as an immobiliser, stops your car from starting if you do not enter the correct passcode. This could be a PIN or a series of inputs from your car (for instance, the indicator stalk buttons). The device is connected to the car's computer system and therefore cannot be recognized by diagnostic equipment. It doesn't emit radio signals or pulses which can be detected by a smartphone app or tracking device. The Ghost can even be used by valet businesses or mechanics to maintain vehicles without the PIN code.

Thefts can copy keys and swap ECUs to gain access to your vehicle. To overcome this the Ghost immobiliser comes with a service mode that can be accessed by pressing the service button for a specified time period. The code needed to enter this is a random combination of inputs from your vehicle (for example the indicator stalk buttons or some other hidden buttons). This means that your car is secure even if thieves employ advanced technology.

A Ghost immobiliser can also be used to protect your vehicle from a new method of theft that involves hacking the OBD port. This lets the thief connect a laptop and trick the vehicle systems into thinking that a key is present, which allows it to start. An immobiliser such as the Ghost stops the theft by connecting to the CAN data circuit and stops the criminal.

A Ghost immobiliser has the added benefit of being removed from your vehicle and transferred to a different one, if you decide to change vehicles during the course of your ownership. The only requirement is that the new vehicle must be compatible with ghost immobiliser installation's software and datapack. The company you choose to install it must also be TASSA-registered and have completed CRB checks.

Remote control

Ghost immobilisers are car security device that adds an additional layer of protection to your vehicle. It uses the onboard CAN network to prevent your car from starting without a unique code or sequence. It also helps to combat key hacking, cloning and preventing thieves from getting close to your vehicle.

Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket vehicle immobiliser that offers the highest level of security for your vehicle. It is connected to the vehicle's CAN data network onboard and is virtually unnoticeable. The device is hidden in the wiring, and operates quietly and doesn't emit a radio frequency signal to signal its presence. The device uses buttons on the steering wheel or dashboard to generate a unique code that can be modified at anytime.

It's also completely untraceable, with no lights or sounds that would indicate its presence. It also doesn't require additional wiring to function, so it can be installed in vehicles without the need for extra components or modules. It is also designed to be easy to use and maintain, so you can be sure that your vehicle is secured.

An aftermarket ghost immobiliser is a great option for those looking to safeguard their vehicle from theft since it can be used in addition to a standard factory-fitted immobiliser. This is because standard factory-fitted immobilisers rely on the transponder integrated into the car key to transmit the correct code to the ECU when you press the button to start your vehicle. Criminals can employ signal booster technology to amplify the transmission of the transponder of your key in order to steal your vehicle. Ghost immobilisers can stop this by stopping the engine from starting when the wrong code is entered.

Ghost immobilisers are the next step in the security of your vehicle. They are a new method to deter thieves from stealing your car, as they are not able to drive it until they have entered the PIN code you have set. They are also great for those who have spent many dollars and time customizing their vehicle, as they can discourage thieves.
