Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Installation

Ghost immobilisers are the newest technology in vehicle security. They are groundbreaking in the way they safeguard your vehicle from hacking, key-cloning & even wheel jacking.

TASSA Approved

The new TASSA-verified Ghost-II CAN from Autowatch is a groundbreaking device that is designed to tackle the latest car crime trends including key cloning, hacking, and other forms of theft. The smart system is connected directly to the CAN network of your vehicle, preventing it from being started or driven without the proper code. The system is completely undetectable and does not use radio frequencies or a key fob, instead it lets you create an individual PIN sequence using the buttons on your vehicle, like the ones on your dashboard or steering wheel that you can alter at any time. You can design the PIN as long as 20 presses long to ensure maximum security and an emergency code that is secure is included too.

The system communicates with the vehicle's CAN data network to identify when the PIN is entered. This then sends a message to the vehicle, which disables the ignition, engine and shuts off crucial components such as the starter motor as well as the fuel pump. The system also offers the option of a "valet mode" that allows you to turn off the system and stop your car from being driven by valets or service centre personnel without the correct keys.

Unlike conventional immobiliser relays, which can be disarmed with easily accessible diagnostic tools for professionals The Ghost device makes use of the onboard data network to communicate with the ECU and cannot be tampered with. It's a sealed device which means that it is not able to access the circuits. This makes it nearly impossible for thieves to hear that distinctive clicking sound that traditional immobilisers relays make.

This technology is not susceptible to jamming devices used by high-tech thieves. Additionally, because it is based on the CAN data network, it's not detectable by other diagnostic tools. This makes it the perfect anti-theft solution to fit any modern vehicle.
