Do Not Forget Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation: 10 Reasons Why You Don't Really Need It
Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Installation
Ghost immobilisers are the newest technology in vehicle security. They are revolutionary in how they protect your vehicle from key-cloning, hacking & even wheel jacking.
The system requires the correct PIN code in order to start your vehicle. This is done via the buttons on your steering wheel or dashboard.
TASSA Approved
The new TASSA-verified Ghost-II CAN from Autowatch is an innovative device designed to fight the most recent car crime trends including key cloning, hacking, and other forms of theft. This smart system connects directly to the onboard CAN network of your vehicle, preventing it from being turned on or driven if you don't have the correct code. The system is completely undetectable, and doesn't utilize radio frequencies or a key fob, instead it lets you create an individual PIN sequence using the buttons on your vehicle such as the ones on the dashboard or steering wheel, which you can change at anytime. The PIN can be as long as up to 20 presses long for maximum security. A secure emergency code is also included.
The system communicates with the vehicle's CAN data network to determine the moment a particular PIN is entered. It is then sent to the vehicle which disables the ignition and engine and shuts down vital components like the starter motor and the fuel pump. The system has a 'valet mode' that allows you to deactivate it and prevent valets or staff from driving your car without the correct key.
The Ghost device is distinct from traditional immobilisers that can be disarmed with professional diagnostic tools. It uses the onboard network to communicate with ECUs and cannot be tampered. It's a sealed unit, so it is impossible to access the circuits, which makes it near impossible for thieves to detect the distinctive clicking noise that traditional immobiliser relays make.
This technology isn't susceptible to jamming devices used by high-tech thieves and is unrecognizable by other diagnostic tool since it uses the CAN data networks. This makes it an ideal anti-theft option for any modern vehicle.

Insurance Approved
The Ghost is an aftermarket security gadget that safeguards your vehicle from the kinds of thieves who are interested in stealing your car. It works by preventing your engine from starting unless the appropriate sequence of buttons is pressed. The only person who can know this sequence is you. If your vehicle is stolen the thieves won't be able to start it and leave your car alone out of fear. The ghost also comes with silent mode, which disables the vehicle if it is not being used and can be turned off with the press of a button.
The system is fully TASSA (Tracker and Aftermarket security systems association) insurance-approved, which means it will be recognized by some insurance companies as an additional security measure on your vehicle. It can be used alongside other Thatcham approved security measures like trackers to protect your car from being stolen 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 can't simply insert a new key or swap the ECU to get around the Ghost. The system will only allow your vehicle to start if the correct pin code is entered. This unique PIN is only yours to know and can be changed at anytime.
The Ghost is an immobiliser that is able to be fitted to any vehicle without the necessity of additional key fobs or wiring. It is directly linked to the vehicle's CAN data network, and a PIN number is programmed by pressing the buttons on the dashboard and the steering wheel. This code will prevent the vehicle from starting unless the correct sequence has been chosen first. If the code is guessed there are safe emergency codes that can be reset with your mobile phone. In TheKeyLab there is a simple app for iOS & Android which eliminates the need to enter your pin every occasion, providing even more secure and hassle-free security.
Distinction
Contrary to a GPS tracker, which aids in locating your car after it has been stolen, an immobiliser system prevents the vehicle from being stolen in the first place. This is accomplished by stopping the engine from starting until it is given the correct code through the key fob or smartphone app that is downloaded to it. This is a great method to prevent wheel-jacking and other thefts since the criminal is forced to leave the car alone or risk being taken into custody.
The ghost immobiliser, a tiny weatherproof device, is tucked away inside your vehicle's wiring harness. It is concealed and has a connection with the CAN data network. This means that thieves can't detect it or disarm it by cutting wires. The system also has an option for service mode that can be activated to allow garages to work on your vehicle without needing to know the passcode in order for it to begin.
Once the device has been installed in your vehicle, it can be disarmed and armed using an app on your smartphone. You can alter the PIN number whenever you wish to ensure that you're the only one who has access to your car. This is beneficial if you plan to sell your vehicle in the near future in order to increase the price of resales.
The Ghost immobiliser has another great characteristic: it's discrete and won't leave any marks on the interior car's body which makes it a great addition to any car. It's easy to fit, works silently and won't disrupt any other systems in your car.
Many people are now putting more emphasis on the appearance of their vehicles and a subtle immobiliser can improve the look and feel of your car. This is particularly appealing to those who utilize their vehicles to transport valuable goods, since it can stop potential thieves from targeting them. Ghost immobilisers work in conjunction with any other anti-theft device, such as trackers to provide unrivalled security for your vehicle.
Low Maintenance
A Ghost immobiliser connects directly to your CAN data network. It is almost undetectable as it doesn't have any LED indicators or additional key fobs. It doesn't emit any radio signals, and is quiet so that thieves won't be able to detect it working. It can be placed in a variety of places (even under the floor mats), and is an excellent option for those who want to safeguard their vehicle without sacrificing its aesthetics.
This device stops your car from starting until you enter an individual password to you. This is accomplished by a combination of buttons on your dashboard and steering wheel in a certain sequence. This makes it difficult for thieves to clone or hack into your system and also prevents them from starting your car.
The Ghost will be alerted to boost your signal and stop your car from starting until the correct disarming code is entered. Unlike other security systems that can be activated by entering the incorrect code and the Ghost will keep preventing your vehicle from starting until you put in the correct passcode.
The Ghost 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 by visiting your dealer to perform maintenance or warranty work). This is a security measure to ensure that it's not taken away by anyone who is not authorized and it is then rearmed and brought back to service mode if needed.
It is also possible to transfer your Ghost to a different vehicle if you move during the course of ownership, provided that the new vehicle is compatible. The most recent version of Ghost also comes with QR finger print stickers that connect to the International Security Register, meaning that in the event that your Ghost is stolen for parts, it will be traced back to you and your vehicle. This will stop thieves from stealing cars fitted with Ghost as they will know that the vehicle is secure and they could risk getting caught and arrested.
