Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Installation
Ghost immobilisers are a recent advancement in vehicle security. They are revolutionary in how they safeguard your vehicle from hacking, key-cloning and even wheel jacking.
The system uses a unique disarm sequence, requiring the correct PIN code to start your car. 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 revolutionary device designed to combat recent car crime trends, including key hacking and cloning. This smart system connects directly to the CAN network of your vehicle, and prevents it from being turned on or driven in the event that you don't have the correct code. The system is completely undetectable and does not make use of radio frequencies or key fobs. Instead, it lets you create a unique sequence of PINs with buttons on your dashboard or steering wheel, which you are able to alter at any time. You can create a PIN as long as 20 presses long to ensure maximum security and an emergency code that is secure provided too.
The system works by communicating with the vehicles CAN data network to determine the moment a particular PIN has been entered. This then sends a signal back to the vehicle that disables the engine and ignition and shuts down critical components such as the starter motor and fuel pump. The system features a "valet mode' that lets you deactivate it to prevent valets or staff from driving your car without the correct key.
The Ghost device is distinct from traditional immobilisers that can be disarmed by using professional diagnostic tools. It uses the onboard network to communicate with ECUs and cannot be tampered. It's a sealed unit and therefore, it is impossible to access the circuits. This makes it almost impossible for thieves to hear the distinctive click sound that traditional immobiliser relays make.
This technology is not vulnerable to jamming devices utilized by high-tech thieves, and because it operates on the CAN data network it's also undetectable to any other diagnostic tools. ghost immobiliser installation makes it the ideal anti-theft solution for any modern vehicle.
We will visit your home or office to complete the installation after you have booked the installation. We'll run through a full demonstration with you, and then supply the owner's manual and an emergency card, two Autowatch window stickers as well as an installation certificate.
Insurance Approved
The Ghost is an aftermarket security device that protects your vehicle from the kinds of thieves that are interested in stealing your vehicle. It works by preventing your engine from starting unless a specific sequence of buttons are activated. The only person to know the sequence is you. If your vehicle is stolen the thieves won't be able to start it, and they will leave your car alone out of fear. The ghost also features a silent mode which will disable the vehicle if it is not in use and can be turned off with the press of one button.
The system is fully TASSA (Tracker and Aftermarket security systems association) insurance approved, meaning it will be recognized by some insurance companies as an additional security feature on your vehicle. It can be used in conjunction with other Thatcham-approved security measures, including trackers, to help prevent your vehicle from being taken. This will give you additional assurance.
In addition to this it communicates with your vehicles ECU using the CAN data circuit. This makes it inaccessible to diagnostics tools and completely silent. The Ghost cannot be tampered with by a thief simply adding an additional key to the vehicle or replacing the ECU. The system will only start your car when you enter the correct pin code. This unique pin code is only known to you and is able to be changed at any time.
The Ghost is a very discrete immobiliser that can be added to the majority of vehicles without wiring or the addition of aftermarket key fobs. It is directly connected to the vehicle's CAN data network and a PIN code can be programmed using the buttons on the dashboard or steering wheel. This code will stop the vehicle from being started unless the correct sequence of events has been selected first. If the code is misinterpreted, there are safe emergency codes that can be reset via your mobile phone. There is also an application that can be used on iOS and Android to reduce the requirement to enter pins each time, thereby providing greater security.
The shrewd
An immobiliser system, in contrast to a GPS tracker that only helps you locate your vehicle after it's taken away, can stop the vehicle from ever being stolen in the first instance. It does this by preventing the engine from running until it is able to receive the correct code through the key fob, or a smartphone app that is downloaded to it. This is the best way to prevent wheel jacking and other thefts since the person who steals your car will be forced to leave your car in peace or risk getting caught.
The ghost immobiliser is a weatherproof, tiny device that fits into the wiring harness inside your vehicle. It is hidden and connects to the CAN data network. This means that thieves are unable to detect it or disarm by cutting wires. It also has an option for service mode that can be activated so that your garage can work on your vehicle without having to know the passcode required for it to start.
Once the device is installed in your vehicle, it is able to be de-armed and armed with an app on your smartphone. You can even alter the PIN at any time to ensure that only you have access to your vehicle. This is useful if you plan to sell your car in the future, as it will increase the price of resales.
The Ghost immobiliser comes with a unique feature: it is discreet and won't leave any marks on the inside body of your vehicle which makes it a great addition to any vehicle. It's easy to install, it's quiet and won't interfere with other systems in your car.
Many people are putting more emphasis on the appearance of their cars So having a discrete immobiliser can improve the look and feel of your vehicle. This is particularly appealing for those who regularly utilize their vehicles to transport expensive goods since it can stop potential thieves from targeting them. Ghost immobilisers work together with other anti-theft systems like trackers to offer unrivalled protection for your car.
Low Maintenance
A Ghost immobiliser connects directly to your CAN data network and is almost undetectable because it doesn't have any LED indicators or extra key fobs. It doesn't emit radio signals, and is silent, meaning that thieves won't detect it. This device can be hidden in a variety of places (even beneath the floor mats) and is a great option for those looking to secure their vehicle without sacrificing style.
This device blocks your car from starting unless you enter a password that is unique to you. This is accomplished by a combination of buttons on your dashboard and steering wheel in a specific sequence. This makes it difficult for thieves to clone or hack into your system and also prevents the vehicle from starting.
Thieves could also try to increase the signal strength to gain access to your vehicle, but the Ghost will detect this and prevent your vehicle from starting until you enter the correct disarming sequence. The Ghost is distinct from other security systems that can be activated by entering the wrong code. It will keep preventing your car from starting up until you enter the correct passcode.
The Ghost remains in "service mode' until you activate it by pressing the same combination of buttons that you used to arm it (this is possible when you visit your dealer for warranty or maintenance work). This is to prevent it from being taken off by unauthorised people and to ensure that it is fully armed whenever it is required.
If you decide to switch vehicles in your ownership, it is possible to transfer the Ghost to the new vehicle provided the new vehicle is compatible. The latest version of Ghost includes QR finger prints that are connected to the International Security Register. This means that if you ever have your Ghost stolen for parts, it can be traced back to you and your vehicle. This could deter thieves from stealing vehicles equipped with Ghost, as they know that they are secure and would risk getting caught and detained.
