Simple PIN Code Change Process

With the rising rate of vehicle theft, a lot of owners are looking to upgrade their security. There are many types of security products that are available, from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. However there are a few that are equally effective in protecting your car. While a tracking system can assist in finding your car in the case of theft, it does not prevent the crime from occurring in the first instance.

Additionally, there is also an app on mobile that can function as an emergency PIN code override and allows the driver to operate the car without having to use the button sequence. This feature is particularly beneficial if you have to hand your car over to a valet service or parking, as the immobiliser will remain active and not deactivated.

Weatherproof, tiny device

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser is a high-tech security system that guards your car from key cloning, hacking and ECU swapping. It's a weatherproof and small device that connects directly to your vehicle's ECU via the CAN data bus, which disables the engine. It can be plugged into the vehicle without additional wiring and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It is also resistant to jamming devices which is the most common method used by car thieves to circumvent the immobilisers in place.

The benefit of using CAN data is that it operates in a silent manner in comparison to conventional systems. It's not detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology and is likewise unreadable by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost doesn't use LED indicators and instead uses buttons on your vehicle, such as the steering wheel, the centre console, or doors, to create a unique disarming sequence. The sequence can be extended 20 presses for additional security. The iPhone app is limited to one connection, with a unique pairing code for the Ghost. All communication between the two devices is protected.

The Ghost also prevents car thieves from adding the key to a new car or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser to start the engine. It will only allow the engine to run when the correct PIN code is entered. It is also possible to put it into Valet/Service mode for temporary operation (with specified parameters, such as a 30mph speed limit) to allow you to hand your car over to a valet service for servicing without the need to enter a PIN.

Tested for each vehicle

The Autowatch Ghost is a world-first aftermarket immobiliser CANbus. It can be connected to the vehicle's wiring and to the engine control unit (ECU). The device intercepts electronic signals to block your car's system from running its normal startup routine until you input a custom passcode. The system can be activated or deactivated through your smartphone's app without the need for additional wires.

The factory-installed immobilisers function with a transponder which is embedded in the key. This transmits a signal to the ECU. If the correct code is transmitted, the car will start however if the transponder is swapped with one from another vehicle the immobiliser will not recognise it. This makes it possible for the vehicle to be stolen and started. A South African company that is at the forefront of car security systems technology has developed the Ghost immobiliser. It shields your car from hacking, key cloning and even key theft. The only way thieves could take your car is by physically towing it away and even then, they would not be capable of driving it.

Ghost utilizes the buttons of your car, such as the indicator stalk along with the steering wheel, indicator stalk and door panels to create an individual PIN sequence that can be changed that must be entered prior to you can use your car. This is done without any extra hardware, such as keys fobs. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also unrecognizable to diagnostic equipment and doesn't transmit radio frequency signals, so thieves are unable to utilize sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing techniques to determine if the security system has been installed.

In contrast to the physical devices that prevent theft, such as clamps or wheel locks, Ghost is covertly integrated into the vehicle, so it cannot be taken away or disabled by thieves. It is more difficult to remove than a car alarm that requires disarming using a button sequence. This makes it a perfect complement to a GPS tracker that can assist in locating your car after it has been stolen.

Emergency PIN code override

The device is hidden within the wiring of the vehicle and doesn't emit radio signals. This means it can't be detected using diagnostic software that can determine the security system you have installed. This makes it a great alternative to the tracking device.

Contrary to most security systems that use an engine relay bay these CANBUS Immobilisers communicate with the car's ECU and BCM via the CAN data bus (brand dependent). This enables them to shut down the vehicle completely by sending an electronic block of commands that is sent to both the ECU and the engine.

It is also possible to connect an analog immobiliser, alarm, or tracker with these systems, however this must be specified before installing the device.
