Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Installation

TASSA Approved

The new TASSA verified Ghost-II CAN immobiliser from Autowatch is a revolutionary device that was designed to combat recent car crime trends, including key hacking and cloning. This innovative system connects directly to the CAN network of your vehicle, preventing it from being turned on or driven without the proper code. The system is completely undetectable and does not utilize radio frequencies or an electronic key fob, rather it lets you create a unique PIN sequence through the buttons on your vehicle, like those on the dashboard or steering wheel, which you can change at any time. You can create a PIN up to 20 presses long to ensure maximum security and an emergency code that is secure included too.

The system works by communicating with the vehicle's CAN data network to identify when a specific PIN has been entered, this then sends a signal to the vehicle, which disables engine and ignition, and shuts down critical components such as the starter motor and fuel pump. The system comes with a "valet' mode which allows you to disable it to prevent valets or staff from driving your car without the correct key.

The Ghost device is different from conventional immobilisers that can be disarmed using professional diagnostic tools. It uses the onboard network to communicate with ECUs and cannot be altered. It's a sealed unit, so it is impossible to listen into the circuits, making it near impossible for thieves to detect the clicking noise that traditional immobiliser relays emit.

This technology is not vulnerable to jamming devices used by high-tech thieves and is unrecognizable by other diagnostic tool because it utilizes CAN data networks. This makes it an ideal anti-theft solution to fit any modern vehicle.

We'll come to your home or office to install the system once you have scheduled it. We'll run through a full demonstration with you, and provide the owner's manual and an emergency card, two autowatch ghost installation birmingham window stickers and an installation certificate.

Insurance Approved

The Ghost is a security device that is installed aftermarket and protects you from the kinds of thieves interested in stealing a vehicle. It works by stopping your engine from being started when a certain sequence of buttons is pressed. This sequence is only known by you, so when your car is broken into thieves, they will not be able to start it and may leave the vehicle in peace in fear of being found. The ghost also comes with a 'silent mode', which disables the vehicle if not in use and can be turned off with the press of one button.

The system is TASSA-approved, which means that certain insurance companies will accept it as an additional security measure for your vehicle. It can be added alongside other Thatcham approved security measures, such as trackers to protect your vehicle from being taken and gives you peace of mind.

The system also communicates with the ECU of your vehicle through the CAN data loop which is completely inaudible to diagnostic tools. This means that thieves cannot simply add a new key or replace the ECU to bypass the ghost 2 Immobiliser installation. The system will only begin to start your car by entering the correct pin code. The pin code you enter is only accessible to you and is able to be changed at anytime.

The Ghost is an immobiliser that is able to be added to any vehicle without the requirement for additional key fobs or wiring. It is linked directly to the vehicle's CAN data network, and a personalised PIN code of your preference is programmed into it using buttons already present on the steering wheel and dashboard. This code will prevent the vehicle from being started until the correct sequence has been selected first. If the code is guessed there are emergency codes that are secure that can be reset via your mobile phone. Additionally it is possible to use an easy-to-use app for iOS & Android which eliminates the requirement to enter your pin every occasion, providing even more security that is hassle-free.

The shrewd

An immobiliser, unlike a GPS tracker, which helps you find your vehicle after it's taken away, can stop the vehicle from ever being stolen in the first place. It does this by stopping the engine from running until it is given the correct code via the key fob or smartphone app downloaded to it. This is a great way to avoid wheel-jacking as well as other thefts since the criminal has no choice but to leave the vehicle alone or risk being taken into custody.

The ghost immobiliser is a tiny weatherproof device that is tucked away inside the wiring harness in your vehicle. It has a connection to the CAN data network and is hidden away so that thieves are unable to locate it or disarm it through simple wire cutting. The system also has the option of a service mode that can be turned on to allow garages to work on your vehicle, without needing to know the passcode required for it to begin.

After the device is set up in your vehicle, it is able to be de-armed and armed with an app on your smartphone. You can alter the PIN number whenever you wish to ensure that you're the only person who has access to your car. This is beneficial when you are planning to sell your vehicle in the near future, as it will increase the price of resales.

Another great feature of the Ghost immobiliser is that it's subtle and won't leave any marks on the internal car's body, making it an ideal addition to any vehicle. It's simple to install, works quietly and won't interfere with other systems in your vehicle.

Many people are now putting more focus on the appearance of their cars and a subtle immobiliser can add to the appearance and feel of your car. This is particularly beneficial for people who use their vehicles to transport valuable objects, as it can discourage thieves from stealing your items. The ghost immobiliser works together with other anti-theft technology like trackers to offer unrivalled protection for your vehicle.

Low Maintenance

A Ghost immobiliser connects directly to the CAN data network. It is almost undetectable as it doesn't have any LED indicators or extra key fobs. It also doesn't emit any radio signals and is completely silent so that thieves won't be able to detect it working. This device can be placed in many places (even under floor mats) and is an excellent option for those who want to safeguard their vehicle, without sacrificing its aesthetics.

This device prevents you from starting your car until you enter an individual password. This is accomplished by pressing a series of buttons located on your dashboard as well as the steering wheels in a specific sequence. This makes it impossible for thieves to copy or hack into your system and it will stop the vehicle from starting.

Thieves may also try and boost your signal to gain access to your vehicle, but the Ghost will be able to detect this and stop your car from starting until you enter the correct sequence of disarming. Unlike other security systems that can be activated through entering the wrong code or entering the wrong code, the Ghost will not allow your vehicle from starting until you type the correct passcode.

The ghost installer will remain in "service mode' until you activate it by pressing the same combination of buttons you used to arm it (this can be done when you visit your dealer to perform maintenance or ghost 2 immobiliser installation warranty work). This is to stop it from being taken away by people who are not authorized and to ensure that it is ready to be rearmed if needed.

If you decide to switch vehicles during your ownership, it is possible to transfer the Ghost to the new vehicle, provided that the new vehicle is compatible. The latest Ghost is equipped with QR finger prints that are connected to the International Security Register. This means that should you find your Ghost stolen for parts, it could be traced back to you and your car. This could discourage thieves from stealing cars fitted with Ghost because they know that the vehicle is secured and they would be risking being arrested and caught.
