Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Installation
Ghost immobilisers are the newest technology in vehicle security. They are revolutionary in that they safeguard your vehicle from key cloning and hacking.
The system has an unique disarm sequence that requires the correct pin code to start your vehicle. This is accomplished by pressing the buttons on the dashboard or steering wheel.
TASSA Approved
The TASSA-certified Ghost-II CAN from Autowatch is an innovative device designed to fight the most recent automobile crime trends like key cloning, hacking and other forms of theft. The smart system is connected directly to the CAN network of your vehicle, and prevents it from being turned on or driven if you don't have the right code. The system is undetectable, and does not use radio frequencies or key fobs. Instead, it lets you create a unique sequence of PINs with buttons on your dashboard or steering wheel, which you can modify at any time. You can design the PIN up to 20 times long to ensure maximum security and an emergency code that is secure is available too.
The system communicates with the vehicle's CAN data network to determine when the PIN has been entered. This then sends a signal to the vehicle, which disables the ignition and engine, and shuts down crucial components such as the starter motor and fuel pump. The system also provides the option of a "valet mode" allowing you to deactivate the system and block your vehicle from being driven by valets or service centre staff without the correct key.
In contrast to traditional immobiliser relays which can be disarmed with readily available diagnostic tools for professionals and tools, the Ghost device makes use of the onboard data network to communicate with the ECU and cannot be altered with. It is a sealed unit which means that it is not able to monitor the circuits. This makes it almost impossible for thieves to hear that tell-tale clicking sound that traditional immobilisers relays produce.
This technology is not vulnerable to jamming devices utilized by high-tech thieves, and because it operates on the CAN data network it's also unaffected by other diagnostic tools. This means it's a perfect anti-theft solution for any modern car.
