15 Of The Best Documentaries On Ghost Autowatch Immobiliser
Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
The renowned Ghost Immobiliser provides your vehicle with advanced protection against key-cloning hacking, theft and hacking. This TASSA-verified system is undetectable by thieves and stops your vehicle from being started.
This device is silent and uses buttons located on the steering wheel, center console, and on the door panels of your vehicle. This allows you to create an individual PIN code of up to 20 characters long that needs to be entered prior to the car will start.
Easy to install
It is more important than ever to secure your vehicle. With car crime increasing and cloning tools readily available, it's essential to protect your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a discreet and effective aftermarket solution to protect against key-cloning & car theft. The device is virtually undetectable to thieves and operates via existing buttons in the steering wheel, door panels or centre console. This allows customers to make an exclusive disarm sequence that is like credit card numbers that must be completed before the vehicle can start or be driven away. This makes it virtually impossible to spot and is not affected by jamming devices or spoofing devices like other systems.
Installation of the Ghost unit requires a highly-skilled installer. The unit is firmly integrated into the CAN bus network of your vehicle which ensures that it is communicating directly with the ECU. This allows the Ghost to be installed without having to alter factory settings and ensures that it cannot be bypassed by a thief using signal boosters or other techniques.
After the Ghost is fitted the new and improved sequence to disarm is required to be inputted in order to activate your car. This can be done by pressing the service button in your vehicle 5 times in 2 seconds whilst ensuring that it is not being repeatedly pressed for a long period of time. The system will flash twice to indicate that Transport Mode is active. This feature is ideal for classic, sports or high-end vehicles that require to have their security system temporarily disabled while transporting or maintenance.
Once Transport Mode is activated your immobiliser will become disabled and you are unable to activate it again by entering the PIN code. This feature is ideal for those who would like to store their vehicles during the winter months to protect theft or to avoid having to pay higher insurance rates.
There are The Key Lab or LEDs, or other indicators to assist you in finding it.
The Ghost immobiliser is a subtle device that guards your pride and joy from car thieves by using buttons on the dashboard or steering wheel to input an unobtrusive pin code prior to starting the engine. It can be linked with an app on your phone to arm and disarm remotely. It prevents signal relay, ECU swapping, and key cloning. It's easy to install, and is able to be fitted in a wide variety of vehicles. It's also extremely discreet and can be hidden in a difficult-to-find location, such as behind the dashboard or in the trim of the steering wheel.
This is a fantastic option for vehicles with high performance because it can disable your vehicle's ignition in the event that the incorrect pin code is entered. This will stop thieves from stealing your pride and happiness. The device can even send an alert to your smartphone when you've left the vehicle unattended in public, providing you with peace of mind while you're away from your vehicle.
The Ghost is unique to other immobilisers because it doesn't require additional fobs or LED indicators. It can also be hidden in a difficult-to-reach area of your vehicle. It is extremely resistant to detection because it communicates directly with the CAN data network of your vehicle. It doesn't emit radio signals, making it not detected by RF scanners, or signal jammers.
It's designed to be tamper proof and weatherproof, and is able to endure extreme temperatures. It's also impossible to alter by cutting wires, or by removing it. It's also inaccessible to organized gangs of thieves who employ diagnostics reading devices to detect security systems. It's also not affected by the professional auto diagnostics equipment which checks the CAN data system for the presence of an alarm device.
No circuit cuts
The device is not have any LED indicators or key fobs that would identify its location. It is hidden under the steering wheel, dashboard or dashboard of your car and uses buttons to generate a unique PIN sequence that needs to be entered in order to start the engine. This means that even if the thief does have your keys they can't drive the car away as they would not be able to identify the correct PIN sequence. The device also does not transmit radio signals, meaning that organized criminal gangs that use diagnostics reading devices will not be able to recognize the device.
This advanced immobiliser, that is also TASSA-approved can help you reduce your insurance costs. This is particularly relevant to vehicles whose owners have customised. It also prevents key theft and ECU switching, which means that the only way for a burglar to steal your pride and joy is to pull it.
The system is completely silent since it does not use the factory keys or dashboard buttons. It communicates with the ECU by using the CAN data circuit, which is completely silent and does not provide any indication that it has been installed. This means that thieves can't replace the ECU or even add new key fobs to get your car started.
If you have forgotten your PIN code Our engineers have provided an emergency reset device that lets you enter "service mode". This allows a technician or dealer to temporarily start and drive your vehicle, allowing them to perform MOTs, maintenance work, or valet parking. After the technician has completed their work or you have collected your vehicle, simply enter the PIN code and the device will go out of service mode based on speed and time.
No radio signals
The Ghost immobiliser, in contrast to other security systems for cars is not dependent on an alarm system or key fobs to stop vehicles from getting started. Instead it communicates with the vehicle's ECU and CAN data circuits to prevent the engine from starting. It's a quiet solution, which is not affected by key-cloning methods or RF scanning that thieves use to bypass security devices. It can be paired with tracking devices to increase the security of your vehicle. You will also be alerted when attempts are made to tamper or steal.
The Autowatch Ghost is a TASSA-certified device that is insurance approved and provides superior protection against key hacking, the cloning process, and even theft. It uses a mobile application to control the device and is encrypted to protect. It also has an encrypted emergency PIN code override. It's a quiet efficient and cost-effective way to protect your vehicle from theft.
However the Ghost is not without its problems. Many users have difficulty entering the correct sequence to disarm. The device requires input via buttons that are already on your vehicle, like the ones on the steering column or centre console. Some people may find it difficult to remember or make a mistake especially when the device is being first used. It is recommended to study the instruction manual that comes with the device to understand this and practice the disarming procedure prior to driving the vehicle.
Another issue is that some vehicles have problems with the CAN data connection, which can impact the performance of the Ghost. This can be caused due to malfunctioning sensors or a damaged OBD connector. It is best to test the system before attempting to use it to determine if there are any issues with the CAN connection.
It is simple to change the PIN code
The ghost is an excellent device and has taken the market by storm however the process of changing the pin code is a bit hazy. The device is programmed by the installer when it's fitted however, there are times when customers may prefer to change their pin code for different reasons such as they'd like an alternative button to disable the device, they don't want their installer to know, or they don't want to use their current pin number. It's easy to change your pin number. Follow the easy steps below to learn how.
Be aware that you will have to turn off the ignition but do not start your car! The process only takes a few seconds to complete. The vehicle will then resume normal operation.
