Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser is a renowned product that protects your vehicle from key-cloning hacking and theft. This TASSA verified system remains undetectable to thieves and prevents them from starting your vehicle.
This device is silent and uses buttons located on the steering wheel, center console, and the door panels of your vehicle. It allows you to create a unique PIN code up to 20 characters that you must enter before the car will start.
Easy to install
It is more essential than ever to protect your vehicle. With car crimes increasing and cloning devices readily available, it is essential to take precautions. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a discrete and efficient aftermarket solution that protects against key-cloning and car theft. The device is virtually undetectable to thieves and operates via buttons that are already present in the steering wheel or door panels, as well as the central console. This allows customers to create a unique disarming sequence like credit cards that need to be entered before a car is able to be started or driven away. This makes the system nearly impossible to spot and is also unaffected by jamming or spoofing devices like those used by other systems available.
Installation of the Ghost unit requires a highly-skilled installer. The unit is carefully integrated into the vehicle's CAN bus network, ensuring it communicates directly to the ECU. The Ghost can be installed without affecting the factory settings, and it is impossible for a thief to bypass the system using signal boosters.
After the Ghost has been installed, you will need to enter a new and improved disarming sequence to activate your vehicle. This can be done by pressing the service button on your vehicle 5 times within 2 seconds, while ensuring that it is not being held for a prolonged period of time. The system will flash twice to indicate that Transport Mode has been activated. This feature is ideal for classic, sports & prestige vehicles that need to have their security system temporarily disabled while transporting or maintenance.
Once Transport Mode has been activated, the immobiliser is turned off and cannot be activated by entering your PIN code again. This feature is perfect for those who wish to store their vehicle during the winter months, and avoid being stolen by thieves or having to pay monthly insurance premium increases.
No LED indicators or key-fobs to give away its location
The Ghost immobiliser is a discreet device that protects your pride and joy from thieves who steal cars by utilizing buttons on your dashboard or steering wheel to input an unobtrusive pin code prior the start of the engine. It wards off attacks using signal relays, ECU swapping and key cloning and can be linked to a phone application that allows remote arming and disarming. It's easy to install and can be put in a variety of vehicles. It's also extremely discreet, and can be hidden in a difficult-to-find location, such as behind the dashboard or in the trim of the steering wheel.

It's designed to be tamper proof and weatherproof, and can withstand extreme temperatures. It's also impossible to be tampered with by cutting the wires, or dismantling it. Moreover, it doesn't require any cuts in the circuit to function, and is therefore inaccessible to organized gangs of thieves that employ diagnostics reading devices to detect security systems that are fitted.

No circuit cuts
Without LEDs or key fobs to reveal its location, the device is hidden inside your car, under the steering wheel or dashboard and makes use of buttons in your car to make a unique PIN code that has to be entered before the engine can begin. This means that even if a person who stole your keys does have them, they are unable to drive the vehicle away since they do not be aware of the correct PIN sequence. The device doesn't transmit radio signals, so organized gangs of thieves who use diagnostics reading tools will be not able to detect it.

This means that a thief will not be able to add new key fobs or even replace the ECU in order to cause your vehicle to start and therefore negates any other theft methods that have been used in recent years, like key cloning, scans using radio frequency, and code theft.
If you forget your PIN code, our engineers have provided you with an emergency reset option for the device which allows you to enter 'service mode'. This will allow the dealer or technician to temporarily start and drive your car which allows them to complete maintenance work, MOTs or valet parking without needing to enter the PIN code again. Once the technician is done or you have collected the vehicle and returned it to the dealer, enter the PIN to exit the service mode.

It communicates instead with the vehicle's ECU, the CAN data circuit, and other circuits to block the engine starting. It's a discrete solution, which is not affected by key-cloning methods or RF scanning used by thieves to get around security devices. It can also be integrated with tracking systems to improve the overall safety of your vehicle. It can also be alerted to any attempts at tampering or theft.
