Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser
The renowned Ghost Immobiliser provides your vehicle with the most advanced security against key cloning hacking, theft and hacking. This TASSA-certified system is not detected by thieves and blocks your vehicle from being started.

Easy to install
It is more essential than ever to secure your vehicle. With ghost immobilise on the rise and cloning tools readily available, it's essential to protect your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a secure and discreet aftermarket solution to protect against key-cloning & car theft. The unit is virtually invisible to thieves, and functions via buttons on the steering wheel or the door panels. This allows customers to create a unique sequence of disarming similar to a credit card that must be entered before a car can be driven or started away. This makes it nearly impossible to spot and is not affected by blocking devices or spoofing devices as with other systems.
Installation of the Ghost unit requires a highly-skilled installer. The unit is carefully integrated into your vehicle's CAN bus network, ensuring it communicates directly to the ECU. This allows the Ghost to be installed without changing the factory settings, and also ensures that it cannot be bypassed by a burglar using signal boosters or other techniques.
After the Ghost is installed, a new and improved disarm sequence is required to be inputted in order to activate your car. Press the service button five times in two seconds, but be sure that you don't hold it for too long. The system will flash twice to show that Transport Mode has been activated. This feature is ideal for classic, sports and luxury vehicles that require their security system to be temporarily disabled during transportation or during servicing.
Once Transport Mode has been activated the immobiliser is disabled and cannot be activated by entering your PIN code again. This feature is great for those who would like to store their vehicle during the winter months, thus preventing it from being stolen by thieves or being liable for monthly increases in insurance premiums.
There are no keyfobs, LEDs or other indicators that can help you find it.
The Ghost immobiliser is a discreet device that protects your pride and joy from car thieves by using buttons on your steering wheel or dashboard to input an unobtrusive pin code prior the start of the engine. It can be connected to a phone application to arm/disarm remotely. It prevents signal relays, ECU swapping, and key copying. It is easy to install and can be installed in a range of vehicles. It's also extremely discreet and can be concealed in difficult-to-access places, such as behind the dashboard, or in the trim on the steering wheel.
It's a great choice for high-performance cars because it will disable the vehicle's ignition when a wrong pin code is entered, thus preventing thieves from taking away your pride and joy. The device can also send an alert to your mobile in the event that you've left your car unattended in public areas, giving you peace of brain when you're away from your car.
The Ghost is different from other immobilisers because it does not require additional fobs or LED indicators. It can also be easily hidden in a hard-to-find area of your vehicle. It is highly indestructible to detection as it directly communicates with the CAN data network of your vehicle. It also doesn't emit radio signals, so it's not detected by RF scanners, or signal jammers.
It's designed to be tamper-proof and weatherproof, which means it can endure extreme temperatures. It is also difficult to alter by cutting wires or removing it. Additionally, it doesn't need any circuit cutting to function, and is therefore inaccessible to organised thief gangs that use diagnostics devices to detect the security systems fitted to. It is not affected by professional diagnostic equipment that examines the CAN data to determine whether there is or absence of security systems.
No circuit cuts
Without any LED indicators or key fobs to reveal its location, the ghost device is hidden in your car, beneath the steering wheel or dashboard and uses buttons in your car to generate an unique PIN code sequence which must be entered before the engine can be started. The criminal cannot leave the vehicle even if they have keys to your car because they do not know the correct code. The device does not transmit radio signals, therefore organised gangs of thieves using diagnostics reading tools are unable detect it.
ghost immobiliser 2 advanced immobiliser, that is also TASSA-approved can help you reduce your insurance rates. This is especially applicable to modified vehicles that their owners have customised. It also stops key theft and ECU switching, meaning that the only possible way for a thief to take your joy and happiness is to tow it away.
The system is completely quiet as it doesn't use buttons that are found on the dashboard or in the factory keys. It communicates with the ECU via the CAN data circuit which is completely silent and doesn't give any indication that it was installed. This means a thief can't replace the ECU or add new key fobs to allow your car started.
If you forget your PIN code, our engineers have provided you with an emergency reset for the device, which permits you to enter'service mode'. This allows the dealer or technician to temporarily start and drive your car which allows them to complete maintenance work, MOTs or valet parking without needing to enter the PIN code once more. When the technician is finished their job or you've taken possession of your vehicle, just enter the PIN code and the device will exit service mode based on speed and time.
No radio signals
Unlike many other car security systems, the Ghost immobiliser doesn't use an alarm system or key fobs to prevent vehicles from getting started. Instead it communicates with vehicle's ECU and the CAN data circuit to stop the engine from starting. This makes it a quiet solution that isn't affected by key cloning or RF scanning techniques employed by thieves to bypass other security devices. It can also be used with tracking systems to enhance the security of your vehicle. It can also alert you to any attempted theft or tampering.

It is a discreet effective and economical method to safeguard your vehicle from theft.
However the Ghost is not without difficulties. One common issue is that people struggle to get into the right disarm sequence. This is because the device requires input via buttons already located in your vehicle, like those on the steering wheel or on the centre console. Some people may find it difficult to remember or get wrong particularly when the device is being used for the first time. It is recommended to read the instruction manual that comes with the device, and practice the disarming procedure prior to driving.
Another issue is that certain vehicles have issues with the CAN data connection, which could affect the performance of the Ghost. This can be caused by defective sensors or a damaged OBD port. It is best to test the system again before using it to determine if there are any issues with the connection to CAN.
