Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser

Ghost Immobiliser is a renowned product that safeguards your vehicle against key-cloning hacking and theft. This TASSA-verified system is undetectable by thieves and prevents your vehicle from starting.

This silent device makes use of buttons located on the steering wheel, the centre console, and the door panels of your vehicle to allow you to create a unique PIN code up to 20 characters that needs to be entered prior to the car starts.

Easy to install

With car crime increasing and cloning tools readily available, it is more important than ever to safeguard your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a discreet and effective aftermarket solution to protect against key-cloning and vehicle theft. The unit is virtually invisible to thieves and operates via buttons on the steering wheel or the door panels. This enables customers to create a unique sequence of disarming similar to the credit card which must be entered before a car can be driven or started away. This makes it nearly impossible to identify and is not affected by jamming devices or spoofing devices like other systems.

The installation of the Ghost unit is a highly-specialized procedure and should only be completed by an authorized installer. The unit is carefully integrated into your vehicle's CAN bus network and is able to communicate directly with the ECU. The Ghost can be installed without affecting factory settings, and it is impossible for a thief to bypass the system using signal boosters.

After autowatch ghost immobiliser has been installed after installation, you must input a new and improved disarming sequence in order to activate your vehicle. This can be accomplished by pressing the service button in your vehicle 5 times within 2 seconds, while ensuring that it's not held for a prolonged period of time. The system will flash twice to signal that Transport Mode is active. This feature is perfect for classic, sports and high-end vehicles that require to have their security system temporarily disabled during transport or servicing.

Once Transport Mode has been activated, the immobiliser will be disabled and is not reactivated by entering your PIN again. This feature is perfect for those who want to store their vehicle over the winter months, and avoid being stolen by thieves, or being liable for monthly insurance premiums that increase.

There are no keyfobs or LEDs or other indicators that can assist you in finding it.

The Ghost immobiliser protects your car from thieves by using buttons on the dashboard or steering wheel. You can enter a pin code without being noticed before starting the engine. It can be connected to a phone application to arm/disarm remotely. It also prevents signal relays, ECU swapping, and key copying. It's easy to install and is able to be fitted in a range of vehicles. It's also extremely discreet and can be concealed in places that are difficult to reach, such as behind the dashboard, or inside the steering-wheel trim.

This is a great option for vehicles with high performance since it will disable your vehicle's ignition in the event that the incorrect pin code is entered. This prevents thieves from stealing your pride and happiness. The device can even send an alert to your smartphone if you've left the car unattended in public, giving you peace of brain when you're away from your vehicle.


Unlike other immobilisers, the Ghost does not require any additional fobs or LEDs, and can be hidden easily in a difficult-to-find area within your vehicle. It works by directly communicating with the vehicle's CAN data network, which makes it highly resistant to detection. It also doesn't emit radio signals, so it's undetectable by RF scanners or signal jammers.

It is designed to be tamper-proof and weatherproof. It can also withstand extreme temperatures. It's also impossible to tamper with by cutting wires or removing the device. It's also inaccessible to organized gangs of thieves who utilize diagnostics-reading equipment to detect security systems. It's not affected by diagnostic equipment that examines CAN data for the presence or absence of security systems.

No circuit cuts

Without any LED indicators or key fobs to reveal its location, the device is hidden in your car, under the dashboard or steering wheel and uses buttons in your car to create an individual PIN code that has to be entered before the engine can begin. This means that even if the criminal does have your keys they can't drive the car away because they wouldn't know the correct PIN code sequence. The device does not transmit radio signals, therefore organised gangs of thieves using tools for reading diagnostics will be not able to detect it.

This innovative immobiliser, which is also TASSA-approved can assist you in reducing your insurance rates. This is especially true for modified vehicles that owners have customized. It also stops key cloning theft and ECU swapping meaning that the only way the criminal can steal your pride and joy is to tow it away.

The system is completely silent as it doesn't use factory keys or dashboard buttons. It communicates with the ECU using the CAN data circuit, which is completely silent and does not provide any indication that it has been installed. This means that thieves cannot replace the ECU or add new key fobs to get your car to start.

If you've forgotten your PIN code Our engineers have provided an emergency reset device that allows you to enter "service mode". This allows the technician or dealer to temporarily start and drive your vehicle which allows them to complete maintenance work, MOTs, or valet parking without having to enter the PIN code once more. Once the technician is done or you have retrieved the vehicle and returned it to the dealer, enter the PIN to exit the service mode.

No radio signals

The Ghost immobiliser, unlike many other security systems for cars does not rely on alarm systems or key fobs to stop vehicles from starting. It communicates instead with the vehicle's ECU, the CAN data circuit as well as other circuits to stop the engine starting. This makes it a discrete solution that isn't affected by key cloning techniques or RF scanning techniques used by thieves to bypass other security devices. It can be paired with tracking devices to improve the safety of your vehicle. You will also be alerted if there is a chance to tamper or steal.

The Autowatch Ghost, a TASSA certified device, is an insurance-approved, and offers superior protection against key hacking and the cloning. It is controlled through an app for mobile devices and is secured with encryption for security. It also has a safe emergency PIN override. It's a discrete, effective and economical way to safeguard your vehicle from theft.

However the Ghost is not without its problems. Users often have trouble entering the correct sequence of disarming. This is because the device requires input from buttons that are already present in your vehicle, for example those on the steering wheel or center console. It could be difficult for people to remember, or they could be wrong the first time. It is recommended to read the manual included with the device, and practice the disarming procedure prior to driving.

Another issue is that some vehicles have issues with CAN data connections, which can impact Ghost's functionality. This could be due to defective sensors or a damaged OBD port. It is best to check the system before using it in case the CAN connection is faulty.

Change your PIN code quickly

The ghost is an excellent device that has taken the market by storm however the process of changing the pin code is a bit hazy. The device is programmed by the installer at the time of installation, but customers might want to alter it for a variety of reasons. For example they may want an alternative button that deactivates the device or do not want their installer to know. They may also not like the pin code they currently have. It's easy to change your pin number. Follow these simple steps to learn how.

Please note that you will need to turn off the ignition but do not start your vehicle! The process takes only a few seconds to be completed. The vehicle will then resume normal operation.
