Guards your vehicle against key cloning and prevents thieves from driving it using the keys you originally had. Our latest immobiliser connects to your vehicle's CAN data network & an individual PIN code has to be entered for the engine to start.

Ghost unlike trackers, does not emit radio frequency signals, and therefore cannot be identified by diagnostic tools. It also has no LED indicators or buttons that can give the impression of its presence in your car or van.

Anti-key cloning

The Ghost immobiliser was developed to stop key cloning. This device is connected to your vehicle's CAN data network and creates a unique pin number by using the factory buttons on your dashboard and steering. This stops the criminal from being able to start your vehicle. If the incorrect PIN is entered it will stop your engine from starting which makes it impossible for you to drive away with your pride and Joy.

A ghost immobiliser is a new technology that is extremely difficult for thieves to beat. Unlike physical deterrents like wheel locks and steering locks that can be cut off or stolen The ghost immobiliser is a discreet electronic device that isn't detected by common thieves, as it doesn't emit any radio signals and is completely silent.

The new generation of immobiliser is equipped to shield your car from a variety of threats like keys that are duplicated, key-hacking, and relay attacks. It can also stop a thief adding a key or replacing your ECU because it won't permit them to start the car without first entering the correct PIN code.

The ghost immobiliser 2 unlike other immobilisers, it does not require the use of a remote control or key fob to operate. It is deactivable using an app on the smartphone of the driver. This is ideal for the times you need to hand your car over to valet parking or maintenance without keys.

It also comes with an inbuilt feature that lets you to disarm your Ghost-II by connecting to the vehicle's Bluetooth, so you can enter and drive hassle free.

OBD port hacking

OBD port hacking has become the latest method used by professional car thieves. Thieves are able to access your vehicle's OBD port with nothing more than an laptop, an app and a few cables that can be bought online for less than PS50. Once they have access to your vehicle's OBD port, they will be able to do whatever they want, from changing fault codes and tuning your car to taking your joy and pride away in under a minute.

If you have an Ghost immobiliser fitted it can stop your car being stolen with this method by requiring that a unique PIN code sequence is entered into the fob of your key in order to start the engine and then drive away. It does this by communicating with the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) on the CAN Data circuit and is totally undetectable to any code grabbing or RF scanning technology. It even has a Service/Valet mode which allows your vehicle to be started without the need for a PIN code.

To utilize an OBD hacking device you require a laptop that has software capable of interpreting the OBD protocol. This can be purchased for under PS100 on ebay or Amazon. You will also need a cable with OBD pins that connect to the CAN bus. These are available on eBay and Amazon for around PS50. You then need to splice the cable into the wiring harness of your car for example, the radio wiring harness.

Once the hacker has access to the OBD port on your vehicle, they are able to send diagnostics to the system using high baud rates, which will crash the car's CAN and stop the systems from working. This could cause the engine to stop and doors to lock, or even the brakes to be engaged.

No remotes or keys required

The car immobiliser is an excellent piece of anti-theft technology utilized by millions of modern cars all over the world. An aftermarket immobiliser protects your vehicle through the use of engine ECU software that prevents vehicles from starting when the transponder is false.

It is possible for a thief, if they know the code that disables an immobiliser, to disable it. The battery in most key fobs can be easily removed by prying it open which means that a burglar could employ a simple tool remove the immobiliser's inner circuit board and replace it with a blank. They will then be in a position to start your vehicle.

With the TASSA approved Ghost 2 immobiliser, there are no remotes or keys to be purchased. The immobiliser connects to the vehicle's engine ECU (Engine Control Unit) through a discreet and silent CAN data circuit that is undetectable with diagnostic tools such as the ones used by high-tech thieves. It does not include a traditional keyfob, which has an LED indicators, so it's inaccessible.

There will be instances that you must deactivate Autowatch Ghost 2's auto-protection for instance, during a valet parking or service work. Ghost CAN immobilisers feature a mode called 'Service Mode,' which you can activate with just a click of a phone button. The car is still operational however, the maximum speed is limited to 36mph.

Simple Change of PIN Code

Ghost is a new generation device that protects your vehicle without cutting wires or adding aftermarket key fobs. It is directly connected to the vehicle's CAN data network, and a personal PIN code is programmed into it via buttons on your steering wheel and the dash. The device doesn't emit RF signals, so it cannot be bypassed. This makes it impossible to be detected using sophisticated scans of RF and code-grabbing techniques used by modern thieves.

The PIN code sequence can be altered whenever you wish to lock out previous drivers. It even comes with an override code incase of lost sequences. The installer will show you the process to do this during installation. The system also includes the option of a valet mode that can be used to temporarily disable the pin input sequence to allow your garage or mechanic can service the vehicle without needing to know the code. This is a great choice for those who do not wish their pin sequence to be revealed but still wish to leave their car with valet parking or service.

Ghost is a discrete system that uses the buttons on your vehicle to create an individual and interchangeable PIN sequence. This sequence is entered using the app on your smartphone, which means that no additional LEDs are thrown and your car is safe from the risk of being blocked by hackers or other technology.

Tested for each vehicle

A ghost immobiliser, unlike key fobs which require pressing buttons, is discretely installed under the steering wheel or dash. You won't even know it's there. The device is connected to the car's CAN data networks and an individual PIN code is inserted using existing buttons on your vehicle. The system stops your engine from running until the code is entered prior to. This means that thieves are unable to clone the keys of your car or access the OBD to hack into it.

Ghost is a feature that can be found in all vehicles including electric cars, vans motorhomes and bicycles. It is also extremely versatile and can be set to disable in a variety of situations. It can be programmed to enter Valet mode, for example, when the vehicle is taken to a valet service or parking company. This means that your car can be operated within a pre-determined 30mph speed limit and the ghost immobiliser will be activated when it is returned to your property.


Another excellent feature is that the device can be reset to your personalised PIN at any time. This is great in the event that you lose the code or in the event that the device becomes unusable.

It's also worth noting that the device is completely unnoticeable to anyone who isn't familiar with it. It works by running through the buttons that are already on the dashboard of your car and on the steering wheel and uses the data they send to identify the buttons that have been activated. This makes it a completely safe and reliable security solution that isn't affected by jamming, RF scanning or door lock pick sets.
