10 Strategies To Build Your Ghost Immobiliser Problems Empire

Protect Your Pride And Joy With The Ghost Immobiliser

Guard your precious possessions against theft by using the Ghost Immobiliser. It's discreet and does not require additional key fobs in order to operate.

The device uses existing buttons in your vehicle (steering wheel, door panels & centre console) to create a unique, changeable pin code sequence up to 20 presses. This will allow your vehicle to start.

Simple PIN Code Change Process

With the growing rate of vehicle thefts, many owners are looking to upgrade their security. There are a myriad of security devices that are sold aftermarket including tracking systems, alarms and immobilisers. However, not all of these are equally effective in protecting your car. While a tracking system can assist you in locating your car in the event of theft, it does not prevent the crime from occurring in the first place. Immobilisers, in contrast are exactly what they say on the label - they disable your car's motor to prevent it from being started. The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced options on the market, making it almost impossible for thieves to steal your car.

The ghost ii immobiliser device uses the buttons on your car to generate a unique sequence which must be entered to allow the engine to start. This can be accomplished by using the window, heater or indicator stalk buttons. In addition it is possible to use an app for mobile devices that can function as an emergency PIN code override and allows the driver to operate the car without using the button sequence. This is an excellent option when you wish to donate your car to valet parking or for maintenance. The immobiliser will remain active.

The Ghost is an innovative and unique device that works by using the buttons of your vehicle instead of as a standalone device. This means it's not only a highly effective deterrent against vehicle theft but it can also be transferred over to any future cars you have, making it more valuable than the traditional lock on your steering wheel.

Small, weatherproof device

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is a sophisticated security system that protects your pride and joy against key cloning, hacking and ECU swapping. It's a small weatherproof device that communicates with the ECU of your vehicle directly via the CAN bus to stop the motor. It can be installed in the vehicle without wiring, and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It is also resistant against jamming devices, which are a common method used by car thieves to bypass immobilisers.

The advantage of CAN data over conventional systems is that they work silently. It isn't detected by sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing technologies, nor can it be detected by traditional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost does not employ LED indicators, but instead uses buttons on your vehicle, like the steering wheel, centre console or door panels, to create a an unique sequence of disarming. You can make this sequence up to 20 presses long for added security. The iPhone app lets you make one, authorized connection with the pairing code unique to the Ghost and communication between the two devices is encrypted.

The Ghost will stop car thieves from putting in an ignition key that is not in use or replacing the ECU in order to bypass the immobiliser. It will only allow the engine to start if the correct PIN code is entered. It is able to be operated temporarily in Valet/Service mode (with parameters set such as a 30mph speed limit) and, therefore, you can give your car to an attendant or valet without needing to enter a code.

Each vehicle is tested

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket immobiliser CANbus. It can be connected to the wiring of your vehicle and to the engine control unit (ECU). The device detects signals to stop your car from operating normally until you enter a customized code. The system can be turned on or off via your smartphone's app without the need for extra wires.

Standard factory immobilisers on vehicles function by using a transponder built into the key, which sends a signal to the ECU. If the correct code is transmitted the car will begin, but if a transponder is replaced by one from a different vehicle, the immobiliser will not recognise it. This makes it possible for the vehicle to be stolen and started. The ghost car immobiliser immobiliser has been developed by an South African company at the forefront of vehicle security systems technology. It guards you against hacking or key cloning and even key theft. Only by physically towing your vehicle away could a thief steal it and not be able drive it.

Ghost makes use of the buttons on your car, such as the indicator stalk, steering wheel and door panels to generate an individual PIN sequence that can be changed that must be entered prior to you are able to use your car. This is not required to use additional hardware like keys-fobs, and can be up to 20 presses long. It is also undetectable by diagnostic equipment and does transmit radio frequency signals, so thieves are not able to use sophisticated RF scanners or code grabbing technologies to detect that an installation has been made.

Unlike physical anti-theft devices like clamps or wheel locks Ghost is concealed within the vehicle so it can't be removed or disabled by thieves and is even more difficult to get rid of from a car alarm which requires disarming with an action sequence. This makes it an excellent complement to an GPS tracking device which can be used to track your vehicle after it's been stolen.

Override of emergency PIN code

You do not have to look far on social media to find stories or even videos of vehicles that have been stolen by thieves using the latest technology tools available to them. This includes key-cloning and hacking tools that allow them to start your vehicle without the original keys.

Our Ghost immobiliser is specifically designed to prevent this and provide you with an additional layer of security to prevent your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It creates an individual pin code by pushing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel and the centre console. This unique PIN is entered along with the original key fob to prevent the engine from getting started. The unique override pin can be found on a black plastic card that you receive following the installation. It is easy to remember because there aren't any LED indicators.

The device is hidden in the vehicle's wires, and doesn't emit any radio signals, therefore it isn't able to be recognized by thieves using diagnostic software that can recognise what type of security system you have installed. This makes it an excellent alternative to the tracking device.

Unlike other security systems, which use a relay in engine bay, these immobilisers CANBUS communicate through CAN databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the vehicle. This allows them to block a vehicle completely, by sending an electronic block to the ECU and engine.

It is also possible to connect a separate analog immobiliser, alarm or tracker to these systems, but this has to be specified before installing the device. They are also service/valet mode compatible and a great alternative to a tracker if you are having your car in for an electrical fault at the dealer.

Service/Valet Mode

In recent years, there has been a rise in the number of vehicles being stolen with the owners' keys. With the ease of access to key cloning equipment and door lock pick sets it is now easier than ever for thieves to take your prized possessions. To combat this we now offer the Autowatch Ghost immobiliser that prevents your car from being driven despite the fact that your keys were cloned or your car has been hijacked.

It directly communicates with your car's ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the data loop called CAN. It is completely silent since it doesn't use radio frequencies or key fobs. It isn't detected by diagnostics or any other hacking device. It also protects against adding the key to a new one or replacing the ECU to bypass the system, since only the correct PIN code will allow the engine to start.

The device is hidden within your car and is reached via the buttons on your steering wheel, centre console, and door panels. Before you can begin your vehicle, you must enter a unique and reversible PIN code up to 20 digits.

This is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that is being designed. It can prevent your vehicle from being driven or started in the event that you do not enter a PIN number first. If you're driving away with the device armed the indicator will flash on your dashboard and flash continuously for approximately 300m. Entering your PIN code will turn off the anti-hijack. Your vehicle will continue to operate just as normal. If you don't enter your PIN at this point, the indicator will continue to flash and require a new PIN code each time you attempt to start your car.
