Simple PIN code Change Process

Many homeowners are upgrading their security due to the rise in vehicle theft. There are a variety of security products that are available for sale including tracking systems, alarms and immobilisers. They're not all equally effective in protecting your vehicle. While a tracking device can assist you in locating your car in the case of theft, it does not prevent the crime from occurring in the first place.

This can be done using the indicator stalk, window or heater buttons. There is also a mobile application that can be used as an emergency PIN override, allowing the driver to operate their vehicle without having to use the button sequence. This feature is particularly useful if you need to hand your car over to a valet service or parking because the immobiliser will remain active and not deactivated.

The Ghost is a truly unique and ingenious device that works in conjunction with buttons in your vehicle rather than as a separate unit. It's not just an effective deterrent to vehicle theft and vandalism, but it can be used to secure any future vehicles you own. This makes it a far better investment than a traditional wheel lock.

Weatherproof small device

The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is a high-tech security system that safeguards your vehicle from key cloning and hacking. It also prevents ECU swapping. It's a weatherproof and Ghost Immobiliser Problems small device that connects directly to your vehicle's ECU over the CAN data bus, which disables the engine. It can be fitted into the vehicle without additional wiring and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It is also immune to jamming devices which are a typical technique that car thieves use to bypass immobilisers.

The advantage of CAN data over traditional systems is that they work silently. It isn't detected by sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing techniques and cannot be recognized by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser Problems doesn't use LED indicators but instead utilizes buttons on your vehicle, like the steering wheel, centre console or door panels, to create an unique sequence of disarming. You can make this sequence up to 20 presses long for added security. The iPhone app allows one, authorized connection with a pairing code that is unique to the Ghost and communication between the two is secured.

The Ghost also prevents car thieves from adding an additional key or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser and start the engine. The engine can only be started when a valid PIN code has been entered. It can also be put in valet/service mode to allow for temporary operation (with specified parameters, such as a 30mph speed limit) to allow you to hand your car over to a valet service or to be serviced without needing to enter a PIN code.

Tested for each vehicle

The Autowatch Ghost is a world-first aftermarket CANbus immobiliser. It can be connected to the wiring of your vehicle and to the engine control unit (ECU). The device snoops on electronic signals to disable the system of your vehicle from going through its normal startup routine until you input an individual passcode. The system can be activated and deactivated through your smartphone's app without the need for wires.

The standard factory immobilisers work with a transponder which is embedded in the key. This sends a message to the ECU. If the correct code is sent, the car will start however if the transponder is replaced by one from a different vehicle, the immobiliser cannot recognize it. This allows the vehicle start and be stolen. A South African company that is at the forefront of vehicle safety systems technology has developed the Ghost immobiliser. It shields you from key cloning or hacking, and even key theft. The only way a thief could take your car is physically towing it away and even then, they wouldn't be allowed to drive it.

Ghost makes use of the buttons on your car, such as the indicator stalk, steering wheel and door panels to create an unique PIN sequence that can be changed that needs to be entered before you can drive. This is performed without the need for additional hardware, such as key fobs and can be as long as 20 presses long. It is also undetectable by diagnostic equipment and does transmit radio frequency signals, meaning thieves are not able to use sophisticated RF scanners or code-grabbing technologies to detect that the system has been set up.

In contrast to the physical devices that prevent theft, such as clamps or wheel locks Ghost is concealed within the vehicle so it can't be disabled or removed by thieves. It is also harder to remove from a car alarm which requires disarming with an action sequence. This makes it an excellent addition to an GPS tracking device that can be used to locate your vehicle after it's been taken.

Emergency PIN code override

You don't need to look too far on social media to see stories or even videos of vehicles that were stolen by car thieves employing the latest technology tools available to them. This includes key-cloning and hacking devices that allow them to start your vehicle without the original keys.

The Ghost immobiliser has been designed to combat this and offer an additional layer of security to protect your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It generates an individual pin code by pushing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel and centre console. This unique PIN must be entered together with your original key fob in order to prevent the vehicle from getting started. The unique override pin is located on a black card that you will receive after your installation. It is easy to remember since there are no LED indicators.

The device is hidden in the vehicle's wires, and doesn't emit any radio signals, which means it isn't able to be detected by modern criminals using diagnostic software that is able to identify the security system you have installed. This makes it a fantastic alternative to the tracking device.

Contrary to most security systems that use an engine relay bay these CANBUS Immobilisers communicate with the vehicle's ECU and BCM via CAN data bus (brand dependant). This enables them to shut down the vehicle completely with the use of a digital block of commands for both the ECU and the engine.

These systems can also be linked to a separate analogue alarm immobiliser, tracker or alarm. This should be decided prior to installation. They are also compatible with valet/service modes and a great alternative to a tracker device when you bring your vehicle to the dealer to address an electrical issue.

Service/Valet Mode

In recent years there has seen an increase in the number of cars being stolen with the owners' keys. It's now more easy than ever to steal your pride and joy thanks to the availability of key cloning tools and door lock picks. We have developed the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser to combat this. It stops your vehicle from being driven even if you keys have been cloned.

It directly communicates with your car's ECU (Engine Control Unit), via the data loop called CAN. It's completely quiet since it doesn't use radio frequencies or a key fob. This means it cannot be detected by diagnostics or other vehicle hacking devices. It also protects you from introducing a new ECU or key to bypass the system, because only the PIN number allows the engine to be started.

The device is hidden within your car and is reached via the buttons on your steering wheel, center console and door panels. Before you can start your car, you must enter a unique, changeable PIN number that is up to 20 numbers.

This is the very first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser for the market that was designed. It will prevent your vehicle from being driven or even started if you don't enter a PIN code first. If the device is activated and you attempt to drive off it will display a warning on your dash which will flash continuously for about 300m. If you enter your PIN code at this point it will deactivate the anti-hijack device and your car will continue to operate just as normal. If you don't enter your PIN code at this time the indication will continue to flash and require a new PIN code for every attempt to start your car.
