Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser will safeguard your valuable property from theft. It is discreet and doesn't require additional key fobs.
The device uses existing buttons on your vehicle (steering wheel doors, door panels, and the centre console) to create a unique, changeable pin code sequence up to 20 presses. This will then allow the vehicle to start.
Simple process to change the PIN code
With the rising rate of vehicle theft, a lot of owners are seeking to improve their security. There are many different types of aftermarket security devices including tracking systems, alarms and immobilisers. However, not all of these are equally efficient in protecting your vehicle. A tracking system may aid in finding your vehicle if it's stolen, but it will not stop the crime. An immobiliser, on other hand does exactly what it says on the tin: it disables the engine of your vehicle so that it cannot be started. The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced options available on the market, making it virtually impossible for thieves to steal your car.
Utilizing the buttons already in your car The ghost device generates an exclusive sequence that has to be entered before the engine can start. This can be accomplished by using the window, heater or indicator stalk buttons. In addition, there is also a mobile app which can act as an emergency PIN code override and allows the driver to operate the car without using the button sequence. This option is particularly useful when you need to hand your car over to a valet service or parking because the immobiliser is active and not deactivated.
The Ghost is a unique and innovative device which works in conjunction with the buttons on your vehicle rather than as a separate device. It's not just an effective deterrent to vehicle theft, but it can be used to secure any future vehicles you own. This makes it a far more cost-effective option than a traditional wheel lock.
Weatherproof tiny device
The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is a sophisticated security system that protects your vehicle from key hacking and cloning. It also prevents ECU swapping. It is a tiny weatherproof device that connects with the ECU of your vehicle directly through the CAN bus to disable the motor. It can be plugged 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 a popular method used by car thieves to get around immobilisers.
The advantage of CAN data over conventional systems is that they work silently. It cannot be detected using sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing techniques and cannot be recognized by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost doesn't use LED indicators, but instead uses buttons on your vehicle, such as the steering wheel, the centre console, or doors, to create an unique sequence of disarming. You can even make this sequence as long as 20 presses to increase 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 devices is encrypted.
The Ghost also prevents car thieves from adding an additional key or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser to start the engine. The engine can only be started if a valid PIN code has been entered. It is also possible to put it into Valet/Service mode for temporary operation (with set parameters such as 30mph speed limit) to allow you to give your car to a valet service or to be serviced without needing to enter a PIN.
Tested for car ghost immobiliser is a world-first aftermarket CANbus immobiliser. It can be connected to the wiring of your vehicle and also to the engine control unit (ECU). The device detects electronic signals to disable your car's system from performing its normal initialization process until you enter an individual passcode. The system can be activated or deactivated through your smartphone's app, without the need for additional wires.
The standard factory immobilisers work with 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 however if the transponder is swapped with one from a different vehicle, the immobiliser cannot recognize it. This makes it possible for the vehicle to be started and stolen. The Ghost immobiliser has been developed by an South African company at the top of the line in vehicle security technology. It shields you from hacking or key cloning and even key theft. Only by physically towing your car away from thieves could they steal it, and they would still not be able drive it.
Ghost utilizes the buttons of your vehicle, including the indicator stalk as well as the steering wheel and door panels to create an unique, changeable PIN code sequence that must be entered prior to you are able to use your car. It does this without additional hardware, like key fobs. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also undetectable to diagnostics equipment and doesn't transmit radio frequency signals so thieves cannot utilize sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing techniques to discover that a security system has been installed.
Unlike physical anti-theft devices like wheel locks or clamps, Ghost is hidden within the vehicle so it can't be disabled or removed by thieves. It's also harder to remove than a car alarm that requires disarming using a button sequence. This makes it an excellent alternative to an GPS tracking device, which can be used to locate your vehicle after it's been taken.
Override of emergency PIN code
You do not have to look long on social media sites to find stories or videos of vehicles that were stolen using the most advanced technology tools. This includes key-cloning devices as well as hacking tools that allow them to start the vehicle without the original keys.
Our Ghost immobiliser fights this issue and offers an additional layer of security to prevent your vehicle from being taken when it is targeted by thieves. It is created by creating a unique pin code push sequence using the buttons you have on the steering wheel, door panel and the centre console. The unique pin code is entered alongside your original key fob in order to stop the engine from beginning. The unique override pin is on the black card you will receive following installation. It is simple to remember because there are no LED indicators.
The device is hidden inside the vehicle's wiring and doesn't emit any radio signals, which means it cannot be recognized by thieves using diagnostic software that is able to recognise what type of security system you have installed. This makes it a fantastic alternative to a tracking device.
Unlike most other security systems that use a relay inside the engine bay, CANBUS Immobilisers communicate with the car's ECU and BCM via the CAN data bus (brand dependant). This allows them to disable a vehicle completely, by sending an electronic block to the ECU and engine.
They can also be connected to a separate alarm immobiliser or tracker. This should be decided prior to installation. They are also fully service/valet mode-compatible and are a great alternative to a tracker you are taking your car in for repairs to an electrical issue at the dealers.
Service/Valet mode
In recent times, there has seen an increase in the number of cars being stolen without the owners keys. With the ease of access to key cloning equipment & door lock pick sets, it is now much easier for thieves to steal your joy and pride.
