Ghost Immobilisers

A Ghost immobiliser stops your car being driven away, even by someone holding your keys. We fit Autowatch Ghost immobilisers at our workshop in Dungarvan, Co. Waterford, for drivers who are fed up reading about keyless thefts, cloned keys and cars gone from driveways overnight.

Ghost immobiliser keypad

How a Ghost immobiliser works

The Ghost talks to your car's ECU over the car's own CAN data network. Before the engine will start, you enter a disarm sequence on buttons that are already in the car, such as the steering wheel controls, the door panel switches or the centre console. It works like a PIN code that only you know, and it can be up to 20 presses long, which makes it far harder to guess than a bank card PIN.

There's no key fob to lose, no LED to give its location away and no radio signal for a thief to intercept. To anyone looking for it, nothing has been fitted.

Ghost-II and Ghost-III

Autowatch has 2 generations of Ghost. The Ghost-II runs on a single CAN network and is being phased out. The Ghost-III replaces it on an all-new platform with dual CAN networks and support for high-speed CAN-FD, the faster data network found on many newer cars. Which one suits your car depends on how the car is built, and we'll tell you which fits when you get in touch. You can read Autowatch's own details on the Ghost immobiliser range.

The phone app

With the Ghost-II, the Autowatch app lets you skip the sequence. Leave the app running in the background with Bluetooth on, and the car disarms when your phone is within 5 to 10 metres. It works with up to 2 phones. Keep that range in mind if your phone lives on the hall table and the car sits right outside the front door.

Features you'll use day to day

  • Service and valet mode, so a garage or a car wash can move the car without learning your sequence
  • A disarm sequence you can change yourself whenever you like
  • A secure emergency code in case you ever forget the sequence
  • Everything runs through the car's own buttons, with nothing extra on the dash

Getting a Ghost fitted

The Ghost works on a wide range of makes and models, though not every car. Tell us what you drive through Enquire Now and we'll check it's compatible and book a day to fit it. If your car already has a warning light on, our vehicle diagnostics can find the fault first, and if you're booked in for performance remapping, ask about fitting a Ghost on the same visit. You'll find us on the Youghal Road in Dungarvan, with directions on our contact page.

Ghost immobiliser questions

Enquire Now

Is a Ghost an alarm?

No, it's an immobiliser. It doesn't sound a siren or flash the lights. If the right sequence isn't entered, the car stays immobilised, so someone with your key, a cloned key or a relay box still can't drive it away.
