Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Installation Ghost immobilisers represent the latest in vehicle security. They are revolutionary because they shield 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 by pressing the buttons of your steering wheel or dashboard. TASSA Approved The TASSA-certified Ghost-II CAN from Autowatch is a groundbreaking device designed to fight the most recent car crime trends, including key cloning, hacking, and other types of theft. This innovative system connects directly to the CAN network of your vehicle, preventing it from being started or driven without the right code. The system is completely undetectable and does not use radio frequencies or an electronic key fob, rather it allows you to create a unique PIN sequence by using existing buttons in your vehicle, such as those on your steering wheel or dashboard, which you can change at anytime. The PIN can be as long as up to 20 presses long to ensure maximum security. A secure emergency code is also provided. The system communicates with the vehicles CAN data network to determine when a specific PIN has been entered. This is then sent to the vehicle which disables the engine and ignition and shuts down vital components such as the starter motor and fuel pump. The system features a "valet mode' which allows you to disable it to prevent valets or staff from driving your car 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 altered with. It's a sealed unit, so it is impossible to monitor the circuits, which makes it nearly impossible for thieves to detect the distinctive clicking noise that traditional immobiliser relays produce. This technology is not vulnerable to jamming devices utilized by high-tech thieves. Additionally, because it is based on the CAN data network it's also undetectable to any other diagnostic tools. This makes it the perfect anti-theft solution for any modern vehicle. We'll come to your home or office to install the system once you've booked it. We'll run through a full demonstration with you and provide you with an owner manual as well as an emergency card, two Autowatch window stickers and an installation certificate. Insurance Approved The Ghost is a security device installed aftermarket to protect against the types of thieves interested in stealing vehicles. It prevents the engine from starting unless a certain sequence of buttons are pressed. The sequence is only understood by you, and when your car is broken into, thieves will not be capable of starting it and will likely leave the vehicle in peace to avoid being caught. Ghosts have a silent mode that shuts down the vehicle when not being used. It can be turned off by pressing a button. The system is fully TASSA (Tracker and Aftermarket security systems association) insurance-approved, which means it is recognized by some insurers as an additional security measure for your vehicle. It can be used alongside other Thatcham approved security measures such as trackers to prevent your vehicle from being taken and provides extra security. The Ghost is a discreet immobiliser that can be fitted to almost all vehicles without wiring or installing aftermarket key fobs. It is directly linked to the vehicle's CAN data network and a PIN code is programed using the buttons on the dashboard and the steering wheel. This code will stop the vehicle from starting until the correct sequence has been chosen first. If the code is misinterpreted it is possible to use secure emergency codes that can be reset using your mobile phone. There is an application that can be used on iOS and Android to reduce the requirement to enter pins each time, giving greater security. Distinction An immobiliser system, unlike a GPS tracker, which only aids you locate your car after it's been stolen, prevents the vehicle from ever being stolen in the first instance. This is accomplished by stopping the engine from starting until the correct code is retrieved from the key fob, or an app downloaded onto the smartphone. This is the most effective way to stop wheel jacking as well as other thefts since the person who steals your car will be forced to leave your car alone or risk getting arrested.
The ghost immobiliser, which is a tiny weatherproof device, fits inside your vehicle's wiring harness. It is concealed and is connected to the CAN data network. This means that thieves cannot detect it or disarm by cutting wires. The system comes with a service mode that can be set to permit your garage to work on your car without having to know the password. Once the device is installed in your vehicle, it is able to be disarmed and then armed with an app on your smartphone. You can also change the PIN code at any time to ensure that only you have access to your vehicle. This is beneficial if you intend to sell your car in the near future, as it can increase its resale value. Another advantage of the Ghost immobiliser is that it's discrete and leaves no marks on your internal body of your car making it a perfect addition to any vehicle. It is easy to install, works quietly and won't disrupt any other systems in your car. Many people are placing more importance on the appearance of their cars So having a discrete immobiliser can add to the appearance and feel of your vehicle. This can be especially appealing for those who regularly use their cars to transport valuable items, as it will help to keep thieves from targeting them. The ghost immobiliser works together with other anti-theft technology like trackers to provide unparalleled protection for your vehicle. Low Maintenance Ghost immobilisers function by connecting directly to the CAN data network. They are virtually undetectable, as they don't make use of LED indicators or other key fobs. It doesn't emit radio signals and is completely silent so that thieves can't hear it working. It can be placed in many places (even under floor mats), and is a great choice for those who want to secure their vehicle, without sacrificing its aesthetics. This device stops your car from starting until you enter a password that is unique to you. This is accomplished by pressing a series of buttons on your dashboard and the steering wheels in a certain sequence. This will stop thieves from hacking into your system and prevent them from starting your vehicle. The Ghost will detect this attempt to increase the signal and stop your car from starting until the correct disarming code is entered. Contrary to other security systems that can be activated by entering a incorrect code or entering the wrong code, the Ghost will continue to block your car from starting until you type 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 accomplished by visiting your dealer to perform maintenance or warranty work). This is a precaution to ensure that it's not removed by unauthorised people and it is then rearmed and brought back to service mode if required. If you decide to switch vehicles in the course of ownership it is possible to transfer the Ghost to the new vehicle, provided that the new vehicle is compatible. The latest version of Ghost also comes with QR finger print stickers that are linked 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 can discourage thieves from stealing cars with Ghost since they'll know that the vehicle is protected and they will be at risk of being arrested and caught. |
