Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Review Autowatch Ghost is the latest technology in car security. It is inaccessible to thieves and impossible for them to open the car without a specific pin code. The system is based on the CAN Data network of your vehicle. It is silent, which means it can't be detected using common diagnostic tools or radio signals. It does not require any cuts in the circuit to be installed. What is a Ghost Immobiliser? A Ghost Immobiliser is a device that protects your car from theft by blocking the engine from starting until you enter a specific pin code. It is a solution for many different vehicles. Unlike a standard vehicle immobiliser, it doesn't need a fob or key to operate. It is also very difficult to hack or bypass and operates silently, meaning that thieves would have to work fast to escape without being caught. It is protected from signal jamming, spoofing, and key cloning, all of which that thieves have employed to unlock cars equipped with standard immobilisers. The device stops thieves from stealing keys by fishing through your letterbox or breaking into your home to steal the remote control. The device will stop thieves from stealing your joy and pride even if they do manage to gain access to the key. It prevents the vehicle from operating until they enter the code. Ghost immobilisers, unlike passive immobilisers which require a fob or key to be pressed to activate it they are designed to be fully sealed within the engine. It is directly connected to the CAN data circuit of the vehicle. The system generates the pin code by pressing buttons on the steering wheel or the console of your vehicle. You will need to enter this code before the engine can begin. The system can also be set to service mode, which allows your vehicle to start and drive for a short period of time without the need for a PIN code, but will leave service mode based upon the speed and duration. It is impossible to hack or bypass the system even with high-tech equipment such as codes grabbing devices. It is also impossible for a regular immobiliser to disable it because it doesn't transmit an alert like a standard vehicle immobiliser does and only works when connected directly to the CAN circuit.

We are a proud TASSA approved Ghost installer and can fit the device inside your vehicle for insurance purposes. How does the Ghost Immobiliser Work? Immobilisers prevent your car from starting if the wrong key or remote is used. This is done by sending a code from the wrong key or fob to the ECU (Engine Control Unit). The ECU won't recognize it and your car will not start. This is the reason it's essential to ensure that your car is equipped with an immobiliser by an approved and reputable professional.
