Simple PIN code Change Process
Many homeowners are upgrading their security due to the rise in vehicle theft. There are many kinds of aftermarket security devices including tracking systems, alarms and immobilisers. However, not all of them are equally effective in protecting your car. A tracking system can assist you in locating your car if it is stolen, but it will not stop the crime. Immobilisers, on the other hand, does exactly what it says on the tin: it disables the engine of your vehicle so that it cannot be started.

This can be accomplished using the indicator stalk or window buttons. Additionally it is possible to use a mobile app which can act as an emergency PIN code bypass and allow the driver to operate the car without having to use the button sequence. This is especially beneficial if you have to hand your car over to a valet service or parking since the immobiliser is activated, but not disabled.
The Ghost is a unique and innovative device that works in conjunction with the buttons of your car instead of being a separate device. It is not only an effective deterrent for vehicle theft and vandalism, but it can be used to secure any future vehicles you may own. This makes it a more cost-effective option than a traditional wheel lock.
Small device that is weatherproof
The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is an advanced security device that shields your pride & joy from key cloning and hacking. It also blocks ECU swapping. It's a small weatherproof device that connects with the ECU of your vehicle directly via the CAN bus to disable the motor. It can be fitted into the vehicle without wiring and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It is also resistant against jamming devices that are a popular method used by car thieves to get around immobilisers.
The benefit of using CAN data is that it runs silently when compared to conventional systems. It can't be detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technologies and is also undetectable by traditional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost does not employ LED indicators and instead uses buttons in your vehicle, like the steering wheel, centre console, or door panels, to create a an unique sequence of disarming. You can even create a sequence that is as long as 20 presses for added security. The iPhone app allows only one connection, and comes with the Ghost's unique pairing code. the Ghost. All communication between the two devices is encrypted.
The Ghost also prevents car thieves from using a new key or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser to start the engine. The engine will only start only if a valid PIN is entered. It is able to be operated temporarily in the Valet/Service mode (with parameters set, such as 30mph speed limit), so you can offer your vehicle to a valet or service without needing to enter the code.
Tested for each vehicle
The Autowatch Ghost is a first-of-its-kind aftermarket immobiliser for CANbus. It can be connected to the vehicle's wiring and to the engine control unit (ECU). The device intercepts signals to prevent your car from operating normally until you enter a customized code. The system can be activated and deactivated through your smartphone's application without the need for wires.
The factory-installed immobilisers function by using a transponder that is embedded in the key. This sends a message to the ECU. If ghost immobiliser for sale is transmitted the car will start however, if the transponder is swapped with one from another vehicle the immobiliser won't recognize it. This allows the vehicle be stolen and started. A South African company that is at the forefront of vehicle safety systems technology has developed the Ghost immobiliser. It shields you from hacking or key cloning, and even key theft. Only by physically towing your car away from thieves could they steal it, and they would still not be able drive it.
Ghost makes use of the buttons on your vehicle, including the indicator stalk, steering wheel and door panels to create an unique, changeable PIN code sequence that needs to be entered before you are able to use your car. It does this without extra hardware, such as keys fobs. It can take up to 20 presses. It is also unrecognizable to diagnostic equipment and doesn't transmit radio frequency signals so thieves are unable to utilize sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing technology to discover that the security system has been installed.
Ghost is more difficult to get rid of than car alarms that require disarming with several buttons. This makes it a fantastic addition to a GPS tracking device, which can be used to locate your vehicle after it's been stolen.
Override of emergency PIN code
You don't have to go far on social media to see stories or even videos of vehicles that have been taken by thieves using the most advanced technology tools available to them. This includes key-cloning and hacking devices that allow the vehicle to start without the original key fobs.
Our Ghost immobiliser combats this and provides you with an additional layer of security to prevent your vehicle from being stolen when it is targeted by thieves. It generates a unique pin code by pressing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel, and on the centre console. The unique pin code must be entered in conjunction with your original key fob to stop the vehicle from getting started. The unique override pin can be located on a black card which you will receive following the installation. It is easy to remember because there aren't any LED indicators.
The device is hidden in the wiring of the vehicle and doesn't emit radio signals. This means it can't be detected by diagnostic software that can tell the security system you have installed. This makes it a great alternative to an alarm.
Contrary to other security systems which rely on a relay in the engine bays, CANBUS immobilisers communicate via CAN databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the vehicle. This allows them to disable the vehicle completely by sending a digital block of commands to both the ECU and the engine.
They can also be linked to an analog alarm immobiliser, tracker or alarm. This should be specified prior to the installation. They are also service/valet mode compatible and a good alternative to a tracker having your car in for repair at the dealer.
Service/Valet mode
In recent years, there has seen an increase in the number of cars being stolen from owners without 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 pride and joy. To stop this, we have launched the Autowatch Ghost immobiliser that prevents your vehicle from being driven even if your keys have been cloned or your vehicle has been stolen.
It communicates directly to your car's ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN data circuit. It is completely silent as it does not use radio frequencies or key fobs. This means it cannot be detected by diagnostics or any other car hacking devices. It also stops you from introducing a new ECU or key to bypass the system, because only the PIN number allows the engine to start.
The device is hidden within your car, using buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console and door panels. Before you can begin your car, you need to enter a unique, changeable PIN code up to 20 digits.
This is the first aftermarket immobiliser for CAN bus to be developed that can prevent your car being started or driven away in the event that a PIN code hasn't been entered first. If you're driving away with the device arming the indicator will flash on your dashboard which will flash continuously for about 300m. Entering your PIN code will disable the anti-hijack. Your car will continue to run normally. If you don't enter your PIN at this time, the indicator will continue to flash and require a new PIN each time you attempt to start your car.
