7 Simple Tricks To Refreshing Your Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation
Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Installation
Ghost immobilisers are the newest technological advancement in security for vehicles. They are revolutionary in that they protect your vehicle from key-cloning as well as hacking.
The system requires the correct PIN code in order to start your car. This is done via the buttons of your steering wheel or dashboard.
TASSA Approved
The TASSA-certified Ghost-II CAN from Autowatch is an innovative device that is designed to tackle the latest car crime trends, including key cloning, hacking, and other forms of theft. This sophisticated system can connect directly to your vehicle's CAN data network, preventing your vehicle from being driven or started without the proper code. The system is undetectable and does not utilize radio frequencies or key fobs. Instead, it allows you to create your own unique sequence of PINs with buttons on your dashboard or the steering wheel, which you are able to modify at any time. The PIN can be up to 20 presses long for maximum security. A secure emergency code is also available.
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, engine and shuts off critical components like the starter motor as well as the fuel pump. The system also provides a 'valet mode', allowing you to deactivate the system and stop your vehicle from being driven by valets or service centre staff without the correct key.
Unlike conventional immobiliser relays, which can be disabled with readily available professional diagnostic tools The Ghost device uses the onboard data network to communicate with the ECU and cannot be tampered with. It's a sealed unit so it is not possible to listen into the circuits, making it near impossible for thieves to hear the tell-tale clicking sound that traditional immobiliser relays make.
This technology is not susceptible to jamming tools utilized by high-tech thieves, and it is undetectable by other diagnostic tool since it relies on CAN data networks. This means it's an ideal anti-theft solution for every modern automobile.
We'll visit your office or home to install the system once you have booked the installation. We'll walk through a thorough demonstration with you. We'll then supply the owner's manual, an emergency card and two Autowatch window stickers, and an installation certificate.
Insurance Approved
The Ghost is a security tool that is installed aftermarket and protects you from the types of thieves interested in stealing a vehicle. It prevents the engine from running until the appropriate sequence of buttons are activated. The only person who can know the sequence is you. If your car is stolen the thieves won't be able to start it, and they will leave your car alone out of fear. Ghosts have a silent mode that disables the vehicle when not in use. It can be shut off by pressing the button.

The system also communicates with the ECU of your vehicle through the CAN data loop which is totally inaudible for diagnostic tools. The Ghost is not able to be bypassed by a thief simply adding an additional key to the vehicle or replacing the ECU. The system will only start your car by entering the correct pin code. The Key Lab is only available to you and is able to be changed at anytime.
The Ghost is a highly subtle immobiliser that is added to the majority of vehicles without wiring or adding after market key fobs. It is directly connected to the vehicles data network CAN and a personalised PIN code of your preference is programmed into it using the buttons on the dashboard and steering wheel. This code will prevent the vehicle from being started until the correct sequence has been selected first. If the code is guessed there are safe emergency codes which can be reset using your mobile phone. In addition to this it is possible to use an easy-to-use application available for iOS and Android that eliminates the requirement to enter your pin every occasion, providing even more secure and hassle-free security.
Distinction
Unlike the GPS tracker that only aids in finding your vehicle after it's stolen, an immobiliser system prevents the vehicle from being stolen in the first place. This is accomplished by stopping the engine from running until the correct code is received via the key fob, or an app that is downloaded onto the smartphone. This is a great method to prevent wheel-jacking and other forms of theft because the person who is stealing is forced to leave the car in its place or risk being arrested.
The ghost immobiliser, a small weatherproof device, is tucked away in the wiring harness of your vehicle. It is connected to the CAN data network and is hidden away so that thieves cannot find it or disable it by simple wire cutting. The system also comes with an option for service mode that can be activated to allow garages to work on your vehicle without having to know the passcode in order for it to start.
After the device is set up in your vehicle, it can be de-armed and armed with an app on your smartphone. You can change the PIN code whenever you want to ensure that you're the only one who has access to your vehicle. This is helpful if you plan to sell your vehicle in the near future in order to increase the resale price.
Another advantage of the Ghost immobiliser is that it's discreet and won't leave any marks on the internal car's body, making it an ideal option for any vehicle. It's simple to install it, is silent and won't disrupt any other systems in your car.
A discreet immobiliser will enhance the look and feel your vehicle. This is particularly beneficial for those who use their vehicle to transport valuable objects, as it can deter potential thieves. A ghost immobiliser will work alongside any other anti-theft device, such as a tracker to provide unrivalled protection for your vehicle.
Low Maintenance
Ghost immobilisers work by connecting directly to the CAN data network. They are almost undetectable, as they don't use LED indicators or additional key fobs. It doesn't emit any radio signals and is silent so that thieves won't be able to hear it working. The device can be put in a variety of locations (even under the floor mats) and is a great option for those looking to protect their vehicle, without sacrificing its aesthetics.
This device stops you from starting your car unless you enter a password that is unique to you. This is accomplished by the combination of buttons on your dashboard and the steering wheel in a particular sequence. This makes it impossible for thieves to clone or hack into your system, and also prevents the vehicle from starting.
The Ghost will be alerted to increase the signal and stop your car from starting until the proper disarming code is entered. The Ghost is different from other security systems which can be activated by entering the wrong code. It will continue to prevent your vehicle from starting until you enter the correct passcode.
The Ghost remains in service mode until you put it back into service mode which is activated by pressing the same combination of buttons as you used to arm it (this is possible when you visit your dealer for maintenance or warranty work). This is to stop it from being removed by unauthorised persons and to ensure it's fully armed whenever it is required.
It is also possible to transfer your Ghost to a different vehicle if you switch vehicles in the lifetime of ownership, if 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 have your Ghost stolen for parts, it can be traced to you and your vehicle. This can discourage thieves from stealing cars fitted with Ghost since they'll know that the vehicle is secure and they could risk getting caught and arrested.
