Simple change of PIN code

Many homeowners are upgrading their security due to the rising number of vehicle thefts. There are many kinds of security gadgets that are sold aftermarket that range from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. Not all of them are equally effective in protecting your car. While a tracking device can assist in finding your vehicle in the event of theft, it does not prevent the crime from occurring in the first in the first place. 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. The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced options available on the market, making it nearly impossible for thieves to steal your vehicle.

This can be done via the indicator stalk, window or heater buttons. There is also a mobile app that can be used as an emergency PIN override, allowing the driver to operate their vehicle without the need to use the button sequence. This is an excellent option for those who want to offer your car to valet parking or servicing. The immobiliser will stay active.

The Ghost is an unique and innovative device that works by using the buttons on your vehicle rather than as a separate unit. It's not just an effective deterrent to theft of your vehicle, but it can be used to secure any future vehicles you own. This makes it a much better investment than a conventional wheel lock.

Weatherproof small device

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is an advanced security device that protects your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and ECU swapping. It's a weatherproof and immobilisers small device that communicates directly with your vehicle's ECU over the CAN data bus to disable the engine. It can be installed in the vehicle without wiring, and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It also is resistant to jamming devices that are the most common method used by thieves to bypass existing immobilisers.

The advantage of CAN data over traditional systems is that they operate silently. It isn't detected by sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing technology, nor can it be detected by traditional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost doesn't emit LED indications and uses the buttons in your vehicle like the steering wheel or centre console panels to create a unique, changeable disarm sequence. You can even create a sequence that is as long as 20 presses to increase security. The iPhone app is limited to one connection, with the Ghost's unique pairing code. the Ghost. All communication between the two devices is protected.

The Ghost also prevents thieves from stealing an additional key or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser and start the engine. The engine will only start when a valid PIN code is entered. It can be temporarily operated in valet or service mode (with parameters set such as a 30mph speed limit) which means you can hand your car to a valet or service without needing to enter an entry code.

Tested for each vehicle

The Autowatch auto ghost immobiliser is a world-first aftermarket CANbus immobiliser. It can be connected to the wiring of your vehicle and also to the engine control unit (ECU). The device snoops on electronic signals that block your car's system from going through its normal start-up routine until you input a custom passcode. The system can be activated or deactivated through your smartphone's app, without the need for additional wires.

The standard factory immobilisers work by using a transponder that is integrated into the key. This sends a message to the ECU. If the correct code is sent, the car will start however, if the transponder is swapped with one from a different vehicle, the immobiliser will not recognise it. This makes it possible for the vehicle to be stolen and then started. A South African company that is at the forefront of safety systems technology developed the Ghost immobiliser. It protects your car from hacking, key cloning and even key theft. The only way that a burglar could steal your vehicle is physically towing it away, and even then they would not be capable of driving it.

Ghost makes use of buttons on your vehicle, like the indicator stalk, the steering wheel, and the doors, to generate unique PIN codes which must be entered to use your car. This is not required to use additional hardware, such as key fobs and can be up to 20 presses long. It is also inaccessible to devices for diagnosis and transmits radio frequency signals, which means thieves cannot use sophisticated RF scanners or code grabbing technologies to identify that the system has been set up.

Ghost is more difficult to get rid of than car alarms that require disarming using a series of buttons. This makes it a fantastic addition to an GPS tracking device, which can be used to track your vehicle after it's stolen.

Emergency PIN code override

You don't have to look far on social media for stories or videos of vehicles that have been stolen using the most advanced technology tools. This includes key-cloning and hacking devices that allow them to start your vehicle without your original key fobs.

The Ghost immobiliser helps combat this issue and offers an additional layer of security to stop your vehicle from being taken in the event of being targeted by thieves. It generates a unique pin code by pushing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel, and centre console. The unique pin code is entered in conjunction with your original key fob in order to prevent the engine from beginning. The unique override pin can be found on the black card that you will receive following installation. It is simple to remember as there are no LED indications.

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

Unlike other security systems, that rely on a relay located in the engine bays, immobilisers using CAN communicate via databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the car. This allows them to shut down the vehicle completely by sending an electronic block to the ECU and engine.

It is also possible to connect a separate analogue immobiliser, alarm or tracker with these systems but this must be stated prior to the installation of the device. They also work with service/valet modes and is a great alternative to a tracking device if you take your car into the dealer to address an electrical problem.
