Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Installation
Ghost immobilisers are the newest advancement in vehicle security. They are revolutionary in that they safeguard your vehicle from key-cloning and hacking.
The system uses a unique disarm sequence, requiring the correct PIN code to start your vehicle. This is accomplished by pressing the buttons on your dashboard or steering wheel.
TASSA Approved
The new TASSA verified Ghost-II CAN immobiliser from Autowatch is a groundbreaking device created to combat recent car criminality trends, such as key cloning and hacking. This sophisticated system can connect directly to your vehicle's onboard CAN data network, stopping your vehicle from being started or driven without the correct code. The system is completely undetectable and does not use radio frequencies or key fobs. Instead, it lets you create a unique sequence of PINs by using buttons on your dashboard or steering wheel, which you are able to modify at any time. The PIN can be up to 20 presses long to ensure maximum security. A secure emergency code is also included.
The system communicates with the vehicle's CAN data network in order to determine when the PIN is entered. This then sends a message to the vehicle, which disables the ignition and engine, as well as shutting off critical components like the starter motor and the fuel pump. The system comes with a "valet mode' that allows you to deactivate it to prevent valets or staff from driving your car without the proper key.
The Ghost device is different from conventional immobilisers that can be disarmed by using professional diagnostic tools. It makes use of the onboard network to communicate with ECUs, and it cannot be tampered. It is a sealed unit which means that it is not able to monitor the circuits. This makes it almost impossible for thieves to hear the tell-tale clicking sound that traditional immobiliser relays produce.
This technology is also not susceptible to jamming devices used by high-tech thieves. Furthermore, since it is based on the CAN data network, it's not detectable by other diagnostic tools. This means it's an ideal anti-theft solution for every modern vehicle.
We will visit your office or home to perform the installation once you've scheduled it. We'll walk through a thorough demonstration with you and will then provide you with an owner's manual, an emergency card and two Autowatch window stickers and an installation certificate.

It is directly connected to the vehicle's CAN network, and a PIN code can be programmed by pressing the buttons on the dashboard and steering wheel. This code will stop the vehicle from starting unless the correct sequence has been chosen first. If the code is misinterpreted, there are emergency codes that are secure which can be reset using your mobile phone. Additionally, there is an easy-to-use app available for iOS & Android that minimises the requirement to enter your pin every occasion, providing even more security that is hassle-free.
The shrewd
An immobiliser, unlike a GPS tracker that only helps you find your car after it's been stolen, prevents the vehicle from ever being stolen in the first place. This is accomplished by preventing the engine from starting until the proper code is received through the key fob, or an app that is downloaded onto the smartphone. This is the most effective way to prevent wheel jacking and other types of theft as the thief has no choice but to leave the car unattended or risk being caught.
The ghost immobiliser, which is a tiny weatherproof device, fits inside your vehicle's wiring harness.

The system has a service-mode that can be set to permit your garage to work on your vehicle without needing to know the passcode.
Once you've got the device fitted to your vehicle it will be able to arm and disarm it with your smartphone via its dedicated app. ghost immobiliser installation can also change the PIN at any time to ensure that only you have access to your vehicle.

The Ghost is distinct from other security systems that can be activated by entering the wrong code. It will continue to block your vehicle from starting until you enter the correct passcode.
The Ghost remains in service mode until you turn it back into "service" which is activated by pressing the same button combination as you did to arm it (this can be done when you go to your dealer to perform maintenance or warranty work). This is to stop it from being removed by unauthorised persons and to ensure that it is ready to be rearmed if required.
It is also possible to transfer your Ghost to a new vehicle if you move throughout the time of ownership, provided that the new vehicle is compatible.
