Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser is a renowned product that safeguards your vehicle against key-cloning hacking and theft. This TASSA confirmed system is undetectable to thieves and prevents them from starting your vehicle.
This silent device uses buttons located on the steering wheel, center console, and the door panels of your vehicle. This allows you to create a unique PIN code up to 20 characters that you must enter before the car can start.
Easy to install
It is more essential than ever to protect your vehicle. With car crimes increasing, and cloning devices readily available, it's essential to protect your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a secure and discreet aftermarket solution that protects against key-cloning and vehicle theft. The device is completely inaccessible to thieves, and functions via buttons on the steering wheel or the door panels. This allows customers to create a unique disarming sequence like a credit card that must be entered before a car can be started or driven away. This makes it nearly impossible to detect and is not affected by blocking devices or spoofing devices, like other systems.
The installation of the Ghost unit is a highly specialised process and should only be completed by an authorized installer. The unit is firmly integrated into the CAN bus system of your vehicle which ensures that it is communicating directly with the ECU. The Ghost can be installed without affecting the factory settings, and it is virtually impossible for thieves to evade the system by using signal boosters.
After the Ghost is installed it is necessary to use a different and more efficient disarming sequence in order to start your vehicle. Press the service button 5 times in 2 seconds, but make sure you don't hold it down for too long. The system will flash twice to show that Transport Mode is active. This feature is ideal for classic, sports and luxury vehicles that require their security systems to be temporarily disabled while transport or servicing.
After Transport Mode has been activated the immobiliser is turned off and cannot be activated by entering your PIN again. This feature is great for those who wish to store their cars during the winter months to protect theft, or to avoid paying higher insurance costs.
There are no keyfobs, LEDs or other indicators that can help you locate it.
The Ghost immobiliser is a discrete device that protects your car from thieves who steal cars by using buttons on your dashboard or steering wheel to enter an unobtrusive pin code prior to the start of the engine. It can be connected to an application on your phone to arm or disarm remotely. It also prevents signal relay, ECU swapping, and key cloning. It's easy to install and can be fitted into a wide range of vehicles. It's also extremely discreet and can be concealed in a hard-to-reach place like behind the dashboard or in the steering wheel trim.
It's an excellent option for high-performance vehicles because it can disable the ignition system of your vehicle if a wrong pin code is entered, thus preventing thieves from driving off with your joy and pride. The device can even send an alert to your mobile when you've left the vehicle unattended in public, providing you with peace of mind while you're away from your vehicle.
Unlike other immobilisers, the Ghost does not require any additional fobs or LEDs, and can be hidden easily in a difficult-to-find area within your vehicle. It is extremely resistant to detection since it is directly connected to the CAN data network of your vehicle. It does not emit radio signals, so it is inaccessible to RF scanners or signal jammers.
It's made to be tamperproof and weatherproof, which means it can endure extreme temperatures. It is also difficult to tamper by cutting the wires, or dismantling it. It's also inaccessible to organized gangs of thieves that use diagnostics reading equipment to identify security systems. It's also not affected by professional auto diagnostics equipment that checks the CAN data system for the presence of security devices.
No circuit cuts
The ghost device does not have any indicators with LEDs or key fobs to indicate its whereabouts. It is hidden beneath the steering wheel or dashboard of your vehicle and uses buttons to generate an unique PIN sequence that has to be entered in order to start the engine. The thief is unable to drive away the vehicle even if they have your keys since they do not know the correct code. The device also does not transmit radio signals meaning that organised gangs of thieves using diagnostics devices will be unable to recognize the device.
This cutting-edge immobiliser, which is also TASSA-approved can help you reduce your insurance costs. This is particularly true for modified vehicles that owners have customised. It also wards off key cloning theft as well as ECU swapping. This means that the only way for a thief can steal your joy and pride is to take it away.
Since the system doesn't make use of the factory key fobs or dashboard buttons it is a completely silent device, it communicates with your ECU through the CAN data circuit that is completely silent and does not display any indication that it's installed. This means that a thief would not be able to make new key fobs or replace the ECU to get your vehicle to start, which negates any other methods of theft used in recent years like key cloning, scans using radio frequency, and code theft.
If you forget your PIN code our engineers will have provided you with an emergency reset option for the device which allows you to enter 'service mode'. This allows an expert or dealer to temporarily start and drive your vehicle which allows them to carry out maintenance work, MOTs or valet parking. After the technician has finished or you have collected the vehicle then enter the PIN code to exit service mode.
No radio signals
Contrary to many other car security systems the Ghost immobiliser does not rely on an alarm system or key fobs to stop vehicles from starting. It communicates instead with the vehicle's ECU, the CAN data circuit, and other circuits to prevent the engine starting. www.thekeylab.co.uk makes it a quiet solution that isn't affected by key cloning techniques or RF scanning techniques employed by thieves to circumvent other security devices. It can also be paired with tracking systems to improve the overall safety of your vehicle. It can also warn you of any attempted tampering or theft.
The Autowatch Ghost, a TASSA certified device, is affixed to insurance and provides superior security against key hacking and the cloning. It utilizes a mobile app to control the device and is secured to ensure security. It also has an encrypted emergency PIN code bypass. It is a discreet efficient and cost-effective way to protect your vehicle from theft.
Ghost isn't without its problems. Users often have trouble entering the correct sequence to disarm. The device requires input via buttons that are already on your vehicle such as buttons on the steering column or on the centre console. It can be difficult for users to remember or get wrong particularly when the device is being used for the first time. It is advisable to read the manual included with the device to understand this and practise the disarming procedure prior to driving the vehicle.
Another issue is that certain vehicles have problems with the CAN data connection, which could affect the functioning of the Ghost. This could be caused by defective sensors or a damaged OBD port. It is best to test the system before attempting to use it in the event of any issues with the CAN connection.
Change the PIN code with ease
The Ghost is a fantastic device and has taken the market by storm however the process of changing the pin code can be a bit confusing. The device is preprogrammed by the installer at the time of installation, but customers may want to change it for various reasons. For example they may want an alternative button that disables the device or do not want their installer to know. It is also possible that they dislike their current pin code. The good news is the switch to a new pin number is extremely simple. Follow the steps below to learn how.
It is important to note that you need to turn the ignition on but DO NOT start your car! This process only takes just a few minutes. The vehicle will then resume normal operation.
