Why We Are In Love With Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation (And You Should Also!)
Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Installation
Ghost immobilisers represent the latest in vehicle security. They are groundbreaking in the way they safeguard your vehicle from hacking, key-cloning and even wheel jacking.
The system requires the correct PIN code to start your vehicle. This is accomplished by pressing the buttons of your dashboard or steering wheel.
TASSA Approved
The brand new TASSA verified Ghost-II CAN immobiliser from Autowatch is a revolutionary device designed to fight recent crime trends, including key hacking and cloning. This innovative system connects directly to the onboard CAN network of your vehicle, stopping it from being turned on or driven in the event that you don't have the correct code. The system is completely undetectable, and doesn't make use of radio frequencies or keys, but instead it lets you create a unique PIN sequence through the buttons on your vehicle, like the ones on your steering wheel or dashboard and can be changed at any time. You can create a PIN up to 20 times long to ensure maximum security and an emergency code that is secure available too.
The system communicates with the vehicle's CAN data network in order to detect when a specific PIN has been entered. This then sends a signal back to the vehicle, which disables engine and ignition, and shuts down vital components like the starter motor and fuel pump. The system also has a 'valet mode', that allows you to turn off the system and stop your car from being driven by valets or service centre personnel who do not have the correct key.
Unlike conventional immobiliser relays, which can be disabled with easily accessible diagnostic tools for professionals, the Ghost device makes use of the onboard data network to communicate with the ECU and is not able to be tampered with. It's a sealed unit so it is not possible to listen into the circuits, making it virtually impossible for thieves to detect the distinctive clicking sound that traditional immobiliser relays emit.
This technology is not vulnerable to jamming devices used by high-tech thieves. Additionally, because it works on the CAN data network, it's undetectable to any other diagnostic tools. This makes it the ideal anti-theft solution to fit any modern vehicle.
After you've booked your TASSA approved ghost 2 immobiliser, we'll arrange an appointment and time to visit your place of business or home to carry out the work. We'll run through a full demonstration with you. We'll will then provide the owner's manual and an emergency card as well as two Autowatch window stickers and an installation certificate.
Insurance Approved
The Ghost is an aftermarket security gadget that shields your vehicle from the kinds of thieves that are looking to steal your car. It works by stopping the engine from starting unless a certain sequence of buttons is activated. The sequence is only understood by you, so in the event that your vehicle is stolen, thieves will not be able to start it and may leave your vehicle alone to avoid being caught. The ghost also comes with a 'silent mode', that will shut down the vehicle when it's not being used and can be turned off with the press of a button.
The system is TASSA (Tracker and Aftermarket security systems association) insurance approved, meaning it is recognized by a few insurance companies as an additional security measure on your vehicle. It can be utilized in conjunction with other Thatcham-approved security measures, including trackers, to prevent your vehicle from being taken. This will give you extra peace of mind.
In addition to this it also communicates with your vehicles ECU using the CAN data circuit which makes it undetectable to diagnostic tools and completely quiet. This means that a burglar cannot simply change a key or swap the ECU to bypass the Ghost. The system will only start your vehicle when you enter the correct pin code. The Key Lab is only yours to know and is able to be changed at any time.
The Ghost is an immobiliser that is able to be incorporated into any vehicle without the requirement for additional key fobs or wiring. It is directly connected to the vehicle's data network CAN and a personalised PIN code you choose is programmed into it using existing buttons on the steering wheel and dashboard. This code prevents the vehicle from starting until the correct sequence has been chosen first. If the code is misinterpreted, there are emergency codes that are secure that can be reset with your mobile phone. Additionally it is possible to use an easy-to-use app for iOS & Android that eliminates the need to enter your pin every occasion, ensuring more hassle free security.
Discreet
In contrast to the GPS tracker, which aids in finding your car after it's taken away, an immobiliser system stops the vehicle from being stolen in the first place. This is achieved by preventing the engine from starting until the correct code is received via the key fob or an app that is downloaded onto the smartphone. This is a great way to stop wheel-jacking and other forms of theft, as the thief is forced to leave the car in its place or risk being arrested.
The ghost immobiliser is a weatherproof tiny device that is fitted inside the wiring harness in your vehicle. It is connected to the CAN data network and is hidden away so thieves can't detect it or disable it with simple wire cutting. The system also has an option for service mode that can be turned on to allow your garage 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 person who has access to your vehicle. This is useful if you plan to sell your vehicle in the near future and it can increase the cost of reselling.
The Ghost immobiliser comes with a unique feature: it is discreet and won't leave any marks on the inside body of your vehicle, making it a perfect addition to any car. It's easy to fit, works silently and won't interfere with any other systems in your car.
Many people are now putting more focus on the appearance of their vehicles, so having a discreet immobiliser can improve the appearance and feel of your car. This is particularly useful for people who use their vehicles to transport valuable objects, as it can deter potential thieves. Ghost immobilisers work in conjunction with any other anti-theft technology such as trackers to provide unbeatable 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 thieves cannot hear it working. It can be hidden in a variety of locations (even beneath the floor mats) and is an excellent option for those who want to secure their vehicle without compromising on aesthetics.
This device prevents you from starting your car until you enter a password that is unique to you. This is accomplished through the combination of buttons on your dashboard and steering wheel in a certain sequence. This will prevent thieves from hacking into your system, and prevent them from starting your vehicle.
The Ghost will recognize this attempt to increase the signal and stop your vehicle from starting until the proper disarming code is entered. The Ghost is unlike other security systems that can be activated by entering the incorrect 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" which is activated by pressing the same combination of buttons as you did to arm it (this is possible when you go to your dealer to perform maintenance or warranty work). This is to stop it from being taken away by unauthorised persons and to ensure that it is rearmed when required.
If you decide to change vehicles in your ownership, it is possible to transfer the Ghost to the new vehicle, provided that the new vehicle is compatible. The latest Ghost also comes with QR finger print stickers that are connected to the International Security Register, meaning that should your Ghost is taken for parts, it can be traced back to you and your vehicle. This could stop thieves from stealing cars with Ghost since they'll know that the vehicle is secured and they would be risking getting caught and arrested.
