Easy to install
With car theft increasing and cloning tools readily available, it is more essential than ever to protect your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a secure and discreet aftermarket solution that protects against key-cloning & car theft. The unit is virtually invisible to thieves and operates by pressing buttons on the steering wheel or door panels. This allows customers to create a unique disarm sequence similar to credit cards, which have to be completed before the vehicle can begin or leave. This makes the system virtually impossible to identify and is unaffected by jamming or spoofing devices that are used in other systems available.
Installation of the Ghost unit requires a highly-skilled installer. The unit is carefully incorporated into the vehicle's CAN bus network, ensuring it communicates directly to the ECU. This allows the Ghost to be installed without having to alter the factory settings and guarantees that it can't be hacked by a thief using signal boosters or other methods.
Once the Ghost is fitted, a new and improved disarm sequence is required to be inputted in order to activate your car. Press the service button 5 times in two seconds, but make sure you don't press it for too long. The system will flash twice to show that Transport Mode has been activated. This feature is perfect for classic, sports & luxury vehicles that have to have their security system temporarily disabled during transportation or servicing.
Once Transport Mode has been activated the immobiliser will be disabled and cannot be reactivated by entering your PIN again. This feature is ideal for those who want to store their cars during the winter months to protect them from being stolen or to avoid paying higher insurance premiums.
There are no keyfobs or LEDs, or other indicators to help you find it.

It protects against attacks on signal relays, ECU swapping and key cloning. It can also be linked to a phone application to arm or disarm remotely. It's simple to install and can be incorporated into a wide range of vehicles. It's also extremely discreet and can be hidden in a difficult-to-find location, such as behind the dashboard or in the trim of the steering wheel.
