Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Installation

Ghost immobilisers represent the latest in vehicle security. They are a breakthrough in the way they protect your car from hacking, key-cloning & even wheel jacking.

The system requires the correct PIN code to start your car. This is accomplished by pressing the buttons on the dashboard or steering wheel.

TASSA Approved

The new TASSA verified Ghost-II CAN immobiliser from Autowatch is a revolutionary device that was designed to combat recent car crime trends, including key hacking and cloning. This sophisticated system can connect directly to your vehicle’s onboard CAN data network, preventing your vehicle from being started or driven without the correct code. The system is undetectable and does not use radio frequencies or key fobs. Instead, it lets you create a unique sequence of PINs with buttons on your dashboard or steering wheel, which you are able to modify at any time. The PIN can be as long as up to 20 presses long for maximum security. A secure emergency code is also available.

The system communicates with the vehicle’s CAN data network to determine the moment a particular PIN has been entered. This then sends a signal back to the vehicle, which disables engine and ignition, and shuts down crucial components such as the starter motor and fuel pump. The system also offers the option of a “valet mode” which allows you to disable the system and stop your car from being driven by valets or trackers service center personnel without the correct keys.

The Ghost device is different from conventional immobilisers that can be disarmed with professional diagnostic tools. It makes use of the onboard network to communicate with ECUs and cannot be altered. It’s a sealed unit, so it is inaccessible to monitor the circuits, making it near impossible for thieves to hear the tell-tale clicking noise that traditional immobiliser relays produce.

This technology is not susceptible to jamming tools utilized by high-tech thefts and is unrecognizable by any other diagnostic tools because it uses the CAN data networks. This makes it a great anti-theft tool for any modern automobile.

We will visit your office or home to install the system once you have booked the installation. We will go through the full demonstration with you and provide you with an owner’s manual, emergency cards, two autowatch ghost installers birmingham window sticker and an installation certification.

Insurance Approved

The Ghost is a security device installed aftermarket that protects against the kinds of thieves interested in stealing vehicles. It prevents your engine from being started when a certain sequence of buttons are pressed. The only person who knows the sequence is you. If your vehicle is stolen and trackers the thieves are able to start it, and they will leave your vehicle alone in fear. The ghost has a’silent’ mode that disables the vehicle when it is not in use. It can be shut off by pressing the button.

The system is fully TASSA (Tracker and Aftermarket security systems association) insurance approved, meaning it will be recognized by a few insurance companies as an additional security feature on your vehicle. It can be used alongside other Thatcham approved security measures, such as trackers to protect your vehicle from being stolen and gives you peace of mind.

The system also communicates with the ECU of your vehicle through the CAN data loop which is inaudible to diagnostic tools. The Ghost cannot be tampered with by a criminal simply by inserting a new key to the vehicle or replacing the ECU. The system will only allow your car to start only if the correct pin number is entered. This unique PIN is only known to you and can be changed at any time.

The Ghost is a very discrete immobiliser that can be added to most vehicles without the need for wiring or installing aftermarket key fobs. It is directly connected to the vehicles CAN data network, and an individual PIN code of your choice is programmed into it using buttons already present on the dashboard and steering wheel. This code will prevent the vehicle from starting unless the correct sequence of events has been selected first. If the code is guessed, there are secure emergency codes that can be reset via your mobile phone. There is also an app that can be used on iOS and Android to decrease the requirement to enter pins each time, giving greater security.

The shrewd

In contrast to an GPS tracker which only assists in finding your car after it’s been stolen, an immobiliser device prevents the vehicle from being stolen in the first place. This is done by preventing the engine from running until it is able to receive the correct code via the key fob or a smartphone app downloaded to it. This is the most effective way to avoid wheel jacking and other thefts since the person who steals your car will have no choice but to leave the car unattended or risk getting arrested.

The ghost immobiliser, which is a tiny weatherproof device, is tucked away in the wiring harness of your vehicle. It is hidden and is connected to the CAN data network. This means that thieves are unable to detect it or disarm by cutting wires. The system is equipped with a service-mode that can be set to permit your garage to work on your car without having to know the passcode.

Once the device has been installed in your vehicle, it is able to be disarmed and armed using an app on your smartphone. You can alter the PIN number whenever you wish to ensure that you’re the only one who has access to your vehicle. This is helpful when you are planning to sell your vehicle in the near future and it can increase the cost of reselling.

The Ghost immobiliser comes with a unique feature: it’s discreet and doesn’t leave any marks on the inside body of your vehicle which makes it an ideal addition to any car. It’s simple to install, works quietly and won’t disrupt any other systems in your car.

An immobiliser that is discreet will improve the appearance and feel of your car. This is particularly useful for people who use their vehicles to transport valuable objects, since it will deter potential thieves. A ghost immobiliser will work in conjunction with any other anti-theft technology such as trackers to provide unrivalled protection for your vehicle.

Low Maintenance

Ghost immobilisers function by connecting directly to the CAN data network. They are virtually invisible, since they don’t use LED indicators or additional key fobs. It doesn’t emit radio signals, and it’s also quiet, so thieves cannot detect it. The device can be concealed in a variety of places (even beneath the floor mats) and is a great option for those who wish to secure their vehicle without sacrificing style.

This device blocks you from starting your car until you enter a password that is unique to you. This is done using the combination of buttons on your dashboard and the steering wheel in a certain sequence. This will prevent thieves from cloning or hacking into your system and prevent them from starting your vehicle.

Thieves may also try and increase the signal strength to gain access to your vehicle, however the Ghost will be able to detect this and stop your car from starting until you enter the correct sequence of disarming. Unlike other security systems that can be activated through entering the wrong code and the Ghost will continue to block your car from starting until you type in the correct passcode.

The Ghost will remain in service mode until you put it back into service mode which is activated by pressing the same button combination as you used to arm it (this can happen at the time you visit your dealer to perform maintenance or warranty work). This is to ensure that it’s not removed by unauthorised people and is rearmed and returned to service mode if required.

It is also possible to transfer your Ghost to a different vehicle if you switch vehicles throughout the time of ownership, provided that the new vehicle is compatible. The latest version of Ghost also comes with QR finger print stickers that are connected to the International Security Register, meaning that if your ghost installations is taken for parts, it can be traced back to you and your vehicle. This can discourage thieves from stealing vehicles equipped with Ghost because they know that they are safe and are less likely to be caught and arrested.
