Protect your pride & joy against theft with the Ghost Immobiliser. It's discreet and does not require additional key fobs to operate.
The device utilizes buttons on your vehicle (steering wheels, door panels and centre console) to create a unique pin code sequence that can be changed up to 20 times. This then authorizes the start-up of your vehicle.Simple PIN code Change Process
Many owners are upgrading their security due to the rising number of vehicle thefts. There are many different types of security products that are available for sale, from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. However, not all of these are equally efficient in protecting your vehicle. A tracking system can help you locate your car if it is stolen however it cannot prevent the crime. Immobilisers, on the contrary, do exactly what they state on the tin - they shut off your car's engine to prevent it from being started. The Autowatch Ghost is one of the most advanced options available, making it virtually impossible for thieves to steal your vehicle.
The ghost device uses the buttons on your car to create an unique sequence that needs to be entered in order for the engine to begin. This can be done using the window, heater or indicator stalk buttons. There is also a mobile application that can be used as an emergency PIN override, allowing the driver to operate their car without the button sequence. This is a great solution if you want to give your car to valet parking or for servicing. The immobiliser will remain in operation.
The Ghost is an innovative and unique device that works with your vehicle's buttons rather than as a standalone unit. This means it's not just a powerful security measure against theft from your vehicle but it can also be transferred onto any other vehicles you may own, making it more valuable than a traditional steering wheel lock.
Weatherproof, tiny device
The Autowatch lamborghini ghost installer Immobiliser is a sophisticated security system that protects your vehicle from key cloning and hacking. It also prevents ECU swapping. It is a small, weatherproof device that communicates with the ECU of your vehicle directly via the CAN bus, causing it to shut down the motor. It can be installed in the vehicle without the need for extra wiring and has been extensively tested to make sure it is compatible with all vehicles. It also is resistant to jamming devices which is the most common method used by thieves to get around the immobilisers in place.
The benefit of CAN data over conventional systems is that they operate in a silent manner. It cannot be detected using sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing technology as well as detected by traditional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost does not use LED indicators, but instead uses buttons on your vehicle, such as the steering wheel, centre console or door panels, to create unique sequences for disarming. You can create a sequence that is up to 20 presses long to provide additional security. The iPhone app is limited to one connection, using an individual pairing code for the Ghost. All communication between the two devices is secured.
The Ghost also prevents car thieves from adding the key to a new car or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser and start the engine. It will only allow the engine to run if the correct PIN code is entered. It is able to be operated temporarily in valet or service mode (with parameters set, such as a 30mph speed limit) and, therefore, you can offer your vehicle to an attendant or valet without having to enter an entry code.
Tested for each vehicle
The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket immobiliser for CANbus. It can be connected to the wiring of your vehicle and also to the engine control unit (ECU). The device intercepts electronic signals to disable your car's system from running its normal startup routine until you input a custom passcode. The system can be activated or deactivated by using your smartphone app without the need for extra wires.
Standard factory immobilisers on vehicles function by using a transponder built into the key that sends an indication to the ECU. If the correct code is sent the car will begin however if the transponder is replaced with one from another vehicle the immobiliser cannot recognize it. This enables the vehicle to be stolen and started. A South African company that is at the forefront of car security systems technology developed the Ghost immobiliser. It protects your vehicle from hacking, key cloning and even key theft. Only by physically towing your car away can thieves get it and not be able to drive the vehicle.
Ghost uses buttons on your vehicle, including the indicator stalk, steering wheel, and doors, to generate a unique PIN code which must be entered to use your vehicle. This is done without the need for additional hardware, such as keys-fobs, and can be up to 20 presses long. It is also inaccessible to equipment for diagnostics and does transmit radio frequency signals, meaning thieves cannot use sophisticated RF scanners or code grabbing technologies to identify that a system has been installed.
In contrast to the physical devices that prevent theft, such as clamps or wheel locks, ford fiesta ghost installer is concealed within the vehicle so it can't be taken away or disabled by thieves and is also harder to remove from a car alarm which requires disarming via a button sequence. This makes it an excellent addition to an GPS tracking device that can be used to locate your vehicle after it's been stolen.
Emergency PIN code override
You do not have to go far on social media to find stories or even videos of vehicles that were stolen by thieves using the most advanced technology tools available to them. This includes key-cloning and hacking tools that allow them to start your vehicle without the original keys.
The Ghost immobiliser ghost helps combat this and gives you an additional layer of security to stop your vehicle from being stolen if it is targeted by thieves. It generates a unique pin code when pushing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel and on the centre console. This unique PIN must be entered in conjunction with your original key fob in order to prevent the vehicle from getting started. The unique PIN for override can be found on the black card you will receive following installation. It's easy to remember as there are no LED indicators.
The device is hidden within the wiring of your vehicle and does not emit radio signals. This means it can't be detected by diagnostic software which can identify the type of security system you have installed. This makes it a great alternative to a tracking device.
Contrary to other security systems that rely on a relay located in the engine bays, these CANBUS immobilisers communicate via CAN databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the car. This enables them to shut down the vehicle completely through an electronic block of commands for both the ECU and the engine.
It is also possible to connect a separate analog immobiliser, alarm, or tracker to these systems, however this must be specified before installing the device. 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 years, there has been an increase in vehicles being stolen without the owners keys. It's easier than ever before to steal your pride & joy thanks to the availability of key cloning devices and door lock picks. To combat this we are now offering the Autowatch Ferrari Ghost Installer immobiliser that prevents your car from being driven even if your keys have been cloned or your vehicle was stolen.
It connects directly to your car's ECU (Engine Control Unit), via the CAN data loop. It's completely silent as it doesn't utilize radio frequencies or keys fobs. It isn't detected by diagnostics or any other hacking device. It also stops the user from using a new ECU or key to bypass the system as only the PIN code allows the engine to start.
The device is hidden within your car by using buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console and door panels. A unique and changeable PIN code sequence up to 20 digits has to be entered before you can start your car.
This is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that was developed. It will stop your vehicle from being started or driven when you don't enter a PIN number first. If the device is activated and you attempt to drive off it will display an indicator on your dash, which will flash regularly for around 300m. If you type in your PIN code at this point it will disarm the anti-hijack system and your vehicle will continue to drive just as normal. If you do not enter your PIN in this moment the indicator will continue to flash and will require a new PIN code every time you attempt to start your car.
