Our Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is a discreet and effective aftermarket solution that protects against key-cloning and vehicle theft.

This makes it almost impossible to identify and is not affected by blocking devices or spoofing devices like other systems.

Installation of the Ghost unit requires a highly skilled installer. The unit is carefully integrated into the CAN bus system of your vehicle and is able to communicate directly with the ECU. The Ghost can be installed without affecting the factory settings. It is not possible for thieves to evade the system with signal boosters.

After the Ghost is installed, a new and improved sequence to disarm is required to be inputted in order to activate your car. Press the service button five times in a matter of 2 seconds, but be sure that you don't hold it for too long. The system will flash twice to signal that Transport Mode is active. This feature is ideal for classic, sports and prestige vehicles that require their security systems to be temporarily disabled during transportation or during servicing.

Once Transport Mode is activated, the immobiliser will be disabled and cannot be activated by entering your PIN code again. This feature is great for those who want to store their vehicles over the winter months to keep them from being stolen or to avoid paying higher insurance rates.

If you forget your PIN code Our engineers have provided a reset emergency for the device that allows you to enter "service mode". This will allow the dealer or technician to temporarily start and drive your vehicle so that they can carry out maintenance work, MOTs or valet parking without having to enter the PIN code once more. Once the technician has finished their task or you have removed your vehicle, simply enter the PIN code and the device will be out of service mode depending on the speed and time.
