This allows customers to make an individual disarm sequence like a credit card which must be completed before the vehicle can begin or leave. This makes it almost impossible to detect, and is not affected by blocking devices or spoofing devices as with other systems.
The installation of the Ghost unit is a highly skilled procedure that must only be done by an authorized installer. The unit is carefully incorporated into the CAN bus system of your vehicle and is able to communicate directly with the ECU. This allows the Ghost to be installed without having to alter the factory settings, and also ensures that it can't be hacked by a burglar using signal boosters or other techniques.

This can be accomplished by pressing the service button on your vehicle 5 times in 2 seconds whilst ensuring that it isn't repeatedly pressed for a long period of time. The system will then blink twice to signal that Transport Mode has been activated. This feature is ideal for classic, sports & high-end vehicles that require to have their security system temporarily disabled while transporting or maintenance.
Once Transport Mode is activated, the immobiliser is turned off and cannot be activated by entering your PIN code again. This feature is perfect for those who wish to store their vehicles during the winter to prevent them from being stolen or to avoid paying higher insurance rates.
No LED indicators or key-fobs to indicate its location
The Ghost immobiliser is a subtle device that shields your pride and joy from car thieves by using buttons on the dashboard or steering wheel to enter an unobtrusive pin code prior to the start of the engine. It protects against attacks on signal relays, ECU swapping and key cloning. It can also be linked to a smartphone application that allows remote arming and disarming. It's simple to install and can be integrated into a wide range of vehicles. It's also extremely discreet and can be concealed in hard-to-reach places like behind the dashboard, or in the trim of the steering wheel.
It's a great option for cars with high performance because it can disable the ignition of the vehicle when a wrong pin code is entered, thus preventing thieves from stealing your joy and pride. The device can also send an alert to your mobile when you've left the vehicle unattended in public areas, providing you with peace of mind when you're away from your car.
The Ghost is unlike other immobilisers because it doesn't require any additional fobs or LED indicators. It can also be easily hidden in an area that is difficult to reach your vehicle. It communicates directly with the vehicle's CAN data network, which makes it highly resistant to detection. It does not emit radio signals, so it is not detected by signal jammers or RF scanners.
It's designed to be tamper proof and weatherproof, and is able to endure extreme temperatures. It's also not possible to interfere with by cutting wires or removing the device. It's also inaccessible to organized gangs of thieves that use diagnostics reading equipment to detect security systems. It's also not affected by the professional auto diagnostics equipment that examines the CAN data system for the presence of a security device.
No circuit cuts
Without LEDs or key fobs to give away its location, the ghost device is hidden within your vehicle, underneath the steering wheel or dashboard and utilizes buttons inside your car to create a unique PIN code that has to be entered before the engine can begin. The thief is unable to drive away the vehicle even having your keys because they don't know the correct code. The device doesn't transmit radio signals, so organised gangs of thieves using diagnostics reading tools are in a position to not be able to recognize it.
This innovative immobiliser is TASSA approved and can help reduce your insurance costs, particularly for vehicles that have been customised by their owners. It also prevents key cloning theft and ECU swapping meaning that the only way the criminal can steal your joy and pride is to tow it away.
Because the system does not make use of the factory key fobs or dashboard buttons it is an entirely silent device and communicates with your ECU through the CAN data circuit, which is completely silent and doesn't even indicate that it is fitted. This means that a burglar cannot swap out the ECU or even add new key fobs to get your car to start.
If The Keylab forget your PIN code our engineers will provide you with an emergency reset for the device which allows you to enter'service mode'. This will allow an expert or dealer to temporarily start and drive your vehicle which allows them to carry out maintenance work, MOTs or valet parking. After the technician has completed their work or you have collected your vehicle, simply enter the PIN code and the device will go out of service mode based on speed and time.
No radio signals
Contrary to many other car security systems, the Ghost immobiliser does not use an alarm system or key fobs to prevent vehicles from beginning. It communicates instead with the vehicle's ECU, CAN data circuit and other circuits to prevent the engine from starting. It's a discrete solution that isn't affected by key-cloning techniques or radio frequency scanning used by thieves to bypass security devices. It can also be used with tracking systems to increase the overall safety of your vehicle. It can also alert you to any attempted tampering or theft.
The Autowatch Ghost, a TASSA certified device, is an insurance-approved, and offers an excellent level of security against key hacking and the cloning. It is controlled via an app on mobile devices and is secured with encryption to protect. It also has a safe emergency PIN override. It's a discrete, effective and economical way to protect your vehicle from theft.
Ghost isn't without issues. Many users have difficulty entering the correct sequence to disarm. This is due to the fact that the device requires input from buttons already in your vehicle, like those on the steering wheel or centre console. This can be difficult for users to remember, or they might be wrong the first time. It is advisable to read the instruction manual that comes with the device to learn this and practice the process of disarming prior to driving the vehicle.
Another issue is that some vehicles have problems with the CAN data connection, which can affect the functionality of the Ghost. This can be caused by malfunctioning sensors or an damaged OBD port. It is best to check the system before using it in the event that the CAN connection is faulty.
Change PIN code easily
The Ghost is a fantastic product that has been a hit on the market. However changing the pin code can be confusing. The device is preprogrammed by the installer at the time of installation, but customers might want to alter it for various reasons. For instance, they might prefer a different button that disarms the device or do not want their installer to know. Or they may simply dislike their current pin code. It's simple to change your pin number. Follow the easy steps below to learn how.
It is important to note that you need to turn the ignition on but do not start your car! This process takes only several minutes. The vehicle will then return to normal operation.
