Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Installation
Ghost immobilisers are the newest technology in vehicle security. They are revolutionary because they safeguard your vehicle from key-cloning and hacking.

TASSA Approved
The TASSA-certified Ghost-II CAN from Autowatch is a groundbreaking device that is designed to tackle the latest automobile crime trends like key cloning, hacking, and other forms of theft. This innovative system connects directly to your vehicle's onboard CAN data network, stopping your vehicle from being driven or started without the correct code. The system is completely undetectable, and doesn't utilize radio frequencies or keys, but instead it lets you create a unique PIN sequence through existing buttons in your vehicle, like the ones on the dashboard or steering wheel that you can alter at any time. You can design the PIN up to 20 presses long to ensure maximum security and an emergency code that is secure included too.
The system communicates with the vehicles CAN data network to determine when a specific PIN has been entered, this is then sent to the vehicle, which disables engine and ignition, and shuts down vital components such as the starter motor and fuel pump. ghost immobiliser installation features a "valet mode' that lets you deactivate it, preventing valets and employees from driving your car without the correct key.
In contrast to traditional immobiliser relays that can be deactivated using readily available diagnostic tools for professionals, the Ghost device makes use of the onboard data network to communicate with the ECU and cannot be altered with. It's a sealed device, so it's impossible to access the circuits. This makes it almost impossible for thieves to hear that distinctive clicking sound that traditional immobiliser relays emit.
This technology is not susceptible to jamming devices used by high-tech thefts and is not detected by other diagnostic tool since it utilizes CAN data networks. This means it's a perfect anti-theft solution for every modern vehicle.
We'll visit your home or office to complete the installation after you've scheduled the installation. We will run through the full demonstration with you and provide you with an owner's manual, an emergency card and two Autowatch window stickers, and a certificate of installation.
Insurance Approved
The Ghost is an aftermarket security gadget that protects your vehicle from the kinds of thieves who are interested in stealing your car. It works by stopping your engine from starting until a specific sequence of buttons are pressed. The sequence is only understood by you, so if your car is broken into thieves, they won't be capable of starting it and may leave the vehicle in peace in fear of being found. The ghost also comes with silent mode, which disables the vehicle when it's not in use and can be turned off with the press of a button.

It can be used in conjunction with other Thatcham-approved security measures, such as trackers, to help prevent your vehicle from being taken. This will give you extra assurance.
The system also communicates with the ECU of your vehicle via the CAN data loop which is completely inaudible to diagnostic tools. The Ghost cannot be bypassed by a burglar simply by adding a new key to the vehicle or replacing the ECU. The system will only begin to start your car by entering the correct pin code. This unique pin code is only known to you and can be changed at any time.
The Ghost is a very discreet immobiliser that can be added to the majority of vehicles without the need for wiring or installing aftermarket key fobs. It is linked directly to the vehicles CAN data network, and the personal PIN code you choose is programmed in it using existing buttons on the dashboard and steering wheel. The code then stops the vehicle from starting until the correct sequence is selected first. If the code is guessable, there are emergency codes that are secure that can be reset with your mobile phone. There is an app that can be used on iOS and Android to reduce the need to enter pins each time, giving more security.
Distinction
An immobiliser system, unlike a GPS tracker, which only aids you locate your car after it's been stolen, prevents the vehicle from ever being stolen in the first in the first place. This is accomplished by preventing the engine from starting until the proper code is received through the key fob, or via an app downloaded to the smartphone. This is a great way to stop wheel-jacking and other forms of theft, as the thief has no choice but to leave the car in its place or risk being caught.
The ghost immobiliser is a weatherproof, tiny device that fits inside the wiring harness of your vehicle.

The system also comes with the option of a service mode that can be activated so that your garage can work on your vehicle without having to know the passcode required for it to begin.
After the device is set up in your vehicle, it can be disarmed and armed using an app on your smartphone. You can alter the PIN number whenever you wish to ensure that you are the only one who has access to your vehicle. This is helpful in the event that you intend to sell your car in the near future in order to increase the resale price.
Another advantage of the Ghost immobiliser is that it's discrete and leaves no marks on your internal body of your vehicle, making it an ideal addition to any vehicle. It's easy to fit it, is silent and won't interfere with any other systems in your vehicle.
