What Is the Ghost Immobiliser 2?
The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser 2 (also known as the Ghost II) is a next-generation, hidden car immobiliser that stops your vehicle from starting unless a unique PIN code is entered first. It adds a powerful, invisible layer of security on top of your factory alarm and immobiliser — protecting your car against the theft methods used most often today.
Unlike traditional aftermarket security systems, the Ghost 2 has:
- No key fobs to clone, lose or steal
- No LEDs or visible parts that could give away its location
- No radio signals for thieves to intercept, jam or scan
Instead, it uses your car’s existing buttons — such as those on the steering wheel, door panels or centre console — to create a secret, changeable PIN sequence that only you know. Add an optional GPS tracker and you can also locate your vehicle quickly if it is ever moved without your permission.
How Does the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Work?
1. Create Your PIN
Choose a personal disarm sequence using buttons already fitted in your vehicle. You can change this PIN at any time, giving you complete control and extra peace of mind.
2. Start-Up Protection
Each time you start the car, you must enter your PIN. Until the correct code is entered, the Ghost prevents the engine from starting — even if a thief has your keys or uses advanced key-cloning tools.
3. Completely Stealthy Operation
The Ghost communicates directly with your vehicle’s ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN data network. There are no cuts to the wiring and no visible components, making the system extremely difficult to find or bypass. It cannot be detected by standard diagnostic tools and does not show up on scans.
Why Thieves Hate the Ghost
Modern car thieves routinely exploit the OBD port, relay attacks and key cloning to bypass factory security. The Ghost Immobiliser 2 is designed specifically to defeat these methods:
- Undetectable by diagnostics — it will not appear during dealer or thief scans.
- No RF signals — there is nothing to intercept, jam or replicate.
- Blocks key programming — thieves cannot simply add a new key or swap the ECU to drive away.
- Silent operation — no clicks, lights or sounds to reveal its presence.
In short, even if a thief gets in and presses the start button, the car will not start without your unique code.

Service / Valet Mode
