Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser – FAQs

What is the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser?

The Autowatch Ghost is an advanced CAN-bus immobiliser designed to prevent vehicle theft by stopping the engine from starting unless a unique PIN code sequence is entered using the vehicle’s existing controls. It provides discreet, factory-level protection against modern theft methods.

How does the Autowatch Ghost work?

The Ghost connects directly to the vehicle’s CAN-bus system and requires a personalised PIN code to be entered via buttons such as those on the steering wheel, door panels, or centre console. Without the correct sequence, the vehicle will not start or drive.

Does the Autowatch Ghost protect against relay theft?

Yes. The Autowatch Ghost is highly effective against relay theft, key cloning, and hacking because it does not rely on radio signals, key fobs, or external authentication devices.

Is the Autowatch Ghost visible in the vehicle?

No. The Ghost is installed discreetly with no visible keypads, LEDs, or switches, making it extremely difficult for thieves to detect or bypass.

Can the Autowatch Ghost be detected by diagnostic tools?

No. The system does not appear as a fault code and cannot be detected using standard diagnostic equipment, adding an extra layer of security.

Will the Autowatch Ghost affect my vehicle warranty?

Does the Autowatch Ghost have a service or valet mode?

Yes. The Ghost includes a service mode that temporarily disables the immobiliser, allowing the vehicle to be driven for servicing, MOTs, or valet parking without revealing the PIN code.

Is the Autowatch Ghost insurance approved?
