Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Installation
Ghost immobilisers are among the most advanced features in vehicle security. They are groundbreaking in the way they safeguard your vehicle from hacking, key-cloning and even wheel jacking.
The system uses an exclusive disarm sequence requiring the correct PIN code to start your car. This is accomplished by pressing the buttons on 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 automobile crime trends like key cloning, hacking and other forms of theft. This innovative system connects directly to the CAN network of your vehicle, stopping it from being turned on or driven in the event that you don't have the right code. The system is completely undetectable, and doesn't utilize radio frequencies or an electronic key fob, rather it allows you to create an individual PIN sequence using the buttons on your vehicle such as those on the dashboard or steering wheel and can be changed at anytime. You can create a PIN as long as 20 presses long to ensure maximum security and an emergency code that is secure available too.
The system communicates with the vehicle's CAN data network to identify when a specific PIN has been entered, this then sends a signal to the vehicle which disables the ignition and engine and shuts down crucial components like the starter motor and the fuel pump. The system features a "valet mode' which allows you to disable it to prevent valets or staff from driving your vehicle without the proper key.
The Ghost device is different from conventional immobilisers that can be disarmed by using professional diagnostic tools. It utilizes the onboard network to communicate with ECUs, and it cannot be tampered. It's a sealed unit, so it is inaccessible to listen into the circuits, which makes it nearly impossible for thieves to hear the tell-tale clicking sound that traditional immobiliser relays emit.
This technology is not susceptible to jamming tools used by high-tech thefts and is not detected by other diagnostic tools because it uses the CAN data networks. This makes it a great anti-theft solution for every modern automobile.

Insurance Approved
The Ghost is an aftermarket security gadget that protects your vehicle from the types of thieves who are interested in stealing your vehicle. It stops the engine from starting when a certain sequence of buttons is pressed. This sequence is only known by you, so if your car is broken into, thieves will not be able to start it and will likely leave your vehicle to avoid being caught. The ghost also comes with a silent mode which will disable the vehicle if 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, meaning it is recognized by a few insurance companies as an additional security measure on your vehicle.

The system also communicates with the ECU of your vehicle through the CAN data loop, which is totally inaudible for diagnostic tools. The Ghost cannot be tampered with by a burglar simply by adding an additional key to the vehicle or replacing the ECU. The system will only start your car when you enter the correct pin code. This unique pin code is only yours to know and can be changed at any time.
The Ghost is an immobiliser that can easily be fitted to any vehicle without the need for additional key fobs or wiring. It is directly linked to the vehicle's CAN network, and a PIN code can be programed using the buttons on the dashboard or steering wheel. The code then stops the vehicle from starting until the correct sequence is selected first. If the code is misinterpreted, there are secure emergency codes that can be reset with your mobile phone. There is an application that can be used on iOS and Android to reduce the need to enter pins every time, providing greater security.
Distinction
Unlike a GPS tracker, which aids in locating your vehicle after it's stolen, an immobiliser system stops the vehicle from being taken in the first place. This is done by stopping the engine from starting until it is given the correct code via the key fob or a smartphone application downloaded to it. This is the best way to avoid wheel jacking and other thefts since the thief will have no choice but to leave your car in peace or risk being arrested.
The ghost immobiliser, a tiny weatherproof device, is tucked away in the wiring harness of your vehicle. It is hidden and has a connection with the CAN data network.

Unlike other security systems that can be activated by entering the wrong code and the Ghost will keep preventing your vehicle from starting until you type in the correct passcode.
The Ghost remains in service mode until you turn it back into 'service' which is activated by pressing the same button combination as you did to arm it (this is possible when you go to your dealer to perform maintenance or warranty work).
