With car theft on the rise and cloning tools readily available, it is more crucial than ever to protect your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a discrete and efficient aftermarket solution that protects against key-cloning & car theft. The device is virtually undetectable to thieves and operates through buttons on the steering wheel, door panels or centre console. This enables customers to create a unique disarming sequence similar to credit cards that need to be entered before a car can be started or driven away. This makes the system nearly impossible to identify and is not affected by jamming or spoofing devices like those used by other systems on the market.
The installation of the Ghost unit is a highly-specialized process and should only be completed by an approved installer. The unit is carefully integrated into the vehicle's CAN bus network, ensuring it communicates directly to the ECU. This allows the Ghost to be installed without changing the factory settings and guarantees that it can't be hacked by a criminal using signal boosters or other techniques.
After the Ghost has been installed it is necessary to enter a new and improved disarming sequence in order to start your vehicle. This can be done by pressing the service button on your vehicle 5 times within 2 seconds, while ensuring that it is not being pressed for an extended period of time. The system will flash twice to show that Transport Mode is active. This feature is ideal for classic, sports and prestige vehicles that require their security system to be temporarily disabled during transportation or during servicing.
Once Transport Mode has been activated the immobiliser is disabled and is not reactivated by entering your PIN code again. This feature is perfect for those who want to store their vehicle during the winter months, and avoid being stolen by thieves or having to deal with monthly insurance premium increases.
There aren't any keyfobs, LEDs, or other indicators to help you locate it.
The Ghost immobiliser protects your car from theft by using buttons located on the dashboard or on the steering wheel. You can enter a pin number without being noticed before you start the engine. It can be linked with an application on your phone to arm or disarm remotely. It also prevents signal relay, ECU swapping, and key copying. It's simple to install and can be put in a variety of vehicles. It is also very stealthy and can be hidden in hard-to-reach places like behind the dashboard, or in the trim of the steering wheel.
It's a great option for high-performance cars because it will disable the ignition of the vehicle when an incorrect pin code is entered, which will stop thieves from driving off with your joy and pride. The device can notify smartphones if the vehicle is left unattended in public. This will give you peace of mind when you're away from your car.

It is designed to be tamper-proof and weatherproof. It is also able to be able to withstand extreme temperatures. It is also unaffected by tampering with by cutting the wires or dismantling the unit. Moreover, it doesn't require any cuts in the circuit to function, which means it's inaccessible to organized gangs of thiefs who utilize diagnostics devices to detect fitted security systems. It's also not affected by professional auto diagnostics equipment that checks the CAN data system for the presence of a security device.
No circuit cuts
Without any LED indicators or key fobs to give away its location, the device is hidden inside your car, beneath the dashboard or steering wheel and makes use of buttons in your car to make an individual PIN code that has to be entered before the engine can begin. This means that even if a thief does have your keys they are unable to drive the vehicle away as they would not know the correct PIN code sequence. The device does not transmit radio signals, and therefore organized gangs of thieves using diagnostics reading tools are not able to detect it.
This advanced immobiliser is TASSA approved and can reduce your insurance costs, particularly for vehicles that have been modified by their owners. It also wards off key cloning theft and ECU swapping, which means that the only way a thieves can take your joy and pride is to remove it.
As the system does not make use of the factory key fobs or the dashboard buttons, it is a completely silent device that communicates with your ECU via the CAN data circuit which operates in complete silence and gives no indication that it's fitted. It means that a criminal will not be able to install new key fobs or swap out the ECU to get your vehicle to start, which negates any other methods of theft used in recent years such as key cloning RF scanning and code grabbing.
If you forget your PIN code our engineers will provide you with an emergency reset option for the device that allows you to enter'service mode'. This allows the dealer or technician to temporarily start and drive your vehicle enabling them to carry out maintenance work, MOTs or valet parking without having to enter the PIN code again. After the technician has finished or you have collected the vehicle and returned it to the dealer, enter the PIN to exit the service mode.

Instead, it communicates with the vehicle's ECU and the CAN data circuit to stop the engine from starting. This makes it a discreet solution that is not affected by key cloning techniques or RF scanning techniques used by thieves to bypass other security devices. It can also be paired with tracking systems to enhance the overall safety of your vehicle. It will also be alerted to any attempts at tampering or theft.
