Easy to install
With car theft on the rise and cloning tools readily available, it is more crucial than ever to protect your vehicle. Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser provides a secure, efficient and affordable solution to protect against key cloning and car theft. The device is completely inaccessible to thieves, and operates by pressing buttons on the steering wheel or the door panels.

This makes it almost impossible to detect and is not affected by jamming devices or spoofing devices like other systems.
The installation of the Ghost unit is a highly specialised procedure and should only be carried out by an approved installer. The unit is carefully integrated into your vehicle's CAN bus network, ensuring that it communicates directly with the ECU. This allows the Ghost to be installed without changing the factory settings and guarantees that it is not hacked by a burglar using signal boosters or other methods.

Press the service button 5 times in 2 seconds, but make sure that you don't hold it for too long. The system will flash twice to show that Transport Mode is active. This feature is perfect for classic, sports and luxury vehicles that require their security system to be temporarily disabled during transportation or during servicing.
After Transport Mode has been activated the immobiliser will be disabled and is not reactivated by entering your PIN code again. This feature is ideal for those who want to store their vehicles during the winter months to keep them from being stolen or to avoid paying higher insurance rates.
There aren't any keyfobs, LEDs or other indicators that can help you locate it.
The Ghost immobiliser shields your vehicle from thieves by using buttons on the dashboard or steering wheel. You can enter a pin number without being noticed before you start the engine. It wards off attacks using signal relays, ECU swapping and key cloning. It can also be linked to a smartphone application to arm or disarm remotely. It's simple to install and can be incorporated to a variety of vehicles. It is also very stealthy and can be concealed in hard-to-reach places like behind the dashboard or within the steering-wheel trim.
It's a great choice for high-performance cars because it will disable the ignition system of your vehicle if the wrong pin code is entered, thus preventing thieves from driving off with your pride and joy.
