GHOST II IMMOBILISER FAQ`S

WHAT DOES THE GHOST IMMOBILISER COST?

The Ghost Immobiliser cost is £499 incVAT

This includes your Autowatch Ghost 2 unit and mobile installation at a time, date and location convenient for you. 

The Ghost is one of the very best car security devices available on the market, providing advanced protection against theft … so perhaps another question is what is the cost of NOT installing a Ghost Immobiliser!

IS MY CAR COMPATIBLE WITH THE GHOST IMMOBILISER?

Most road vehicles with a CANBUS in place are compatible with the Ghost Immobiliser. To be sure, you can quickly and easily check your vehicle’s compatibility at the link at top of the page.

IS THE AUTOWATCH GHOST IMMOBILISER EASY TO USE?

Yes! Car security has really never been more important. But we also know that life can be hard enough at times, so we have ensured that your Ghost immobiliser will be as quick and easy as possible to use.

HOW LONG IS THE DISARM PIN SEQUENCE?

You can set your sequence from 4-20 buttons in your cockpit. This can be any combination of your existing controls, from your windscreen wiper toggle to your electric window button.

WHAT IF I FORGET MY UNIQUE SEQUENCE?

Don’t worry. You will be provided with an access card with a reset code. If you forget your sequence you can enter the unique reset code, and then enter a new permanent PIN sequence.

HOW DO GHOST IMMOBILISERS WORK?

Most vehicles are actually equipped with a factory fitted immobiliser as standard. These involve an electric chip built in to your vehicle's ECU (Electronic Control Unit). When you then attempt to start your vehicle, your key fob will send a compatible code to the ECU chip - enabling it to start. If someone therefore attempts to start your vehicle with a different / no key, your vehicle simply will not start. But what if the thieves DO have your key? Or they hack the key frequency? The Ghost Immobiliser adds an unhackable, undetectable layer of security to your vehicle by having an additional PIN to be entered before this transmission is accepted.

HOW MANY TIMES CAN I USE SERVICE MODE?

There is no limit to the amount of times you use Service Mode. Every aspect of the Ghost has been designed for the best car immobiliser security, but also to ensure the easiest possible experience for you.

CAN I CHANGE MY PIN SEQUENCE?

You can change your PIN any time.

IS THE AUTOWATCH GHOST IMMOBILISER INSURANCE APPROVED?

The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is TASSA accredited so is recognised by most insurers - and is even a stipulation by many.

 

IS THE GHOST IMMOBILISER A GPS TRACKER?

No. The Ghost Immobiliser is not a GPS tracker as well. If you did want both an immobiliser and tracker combo, many customers have been using the Ghost Immobiliser with the S7 tracker. This is useful when your insurance provider has asked you to install a car tracker, but you also want the benefit of immobilisation too. If you need a Ghost immobiliser and tracker then take a look at our vehicle security packages for the best options

 

WOULD YOU RECOMMEND INSTALLING A GHOST IMMOBILISER AND TRACKER?

If your insurance provider are requesting that you install a Thatcham approved tracker then many customers have been fitting an S7 tracker with the Ghost Immobiliser. This means that you have met your insurance providers requirements with the tracking device and have also added the extra security of an immobiliser.

CAN I GET A CAR TRACKER WITH IMMOBILISER?

Yes you can. Any of the S5 Plus trackers are Thatcham approved trackers with the addition of police authorised remote immobilisation.

 

CAN A THIEF FIND THE GHOST IMMOBILISER?

The Ghost does not emit any noises, lights or frequencies. Your Ghost immobiliser is also hidden in the CANBUS wiring of your vehicle, and due to its small size and discreet design it cannot be seen when in position.

 

IS THERE AN AUTOWATCH GHOST 2 APP?

Yes, there is an Autowatch Ghost 2 app. The app can work in replacement of your pin sequence. Personally, we find the PIN sequence is still the best way of disarming your immobiliser, but you still have the option of implementing the app if you prefer.

 

CAN I GET INSTALLATION FOR THE GHOST IMMOBILISER NEAR ME?

Yes you can. Trackershop provide speedy nationwide installation. Our engineers can visit any UK postcode, and we can typically have your Ghost Immobiliser installed within 1-3 working days.

 

CAN MY CAR BE STOLEN WITH A GHOST IMMOBILISER?

No, your car cannot be stolen with a Ghost Immobiliser installed. This is because it will be impossible to start the ignition without the correct PIN sequence. The Ghost immobiliser unit cannot be detected on the vehicle and cannot be visually identified. The only unlikely option for a thief is to tow your vehicle away or lift it on to a flat bed lorry. If this is a concern, then we strongly recommend also installing a proactive tracker - which will alert you to this and show the police the live location of the vehicle.

 

WHAT IF SOMEONE ELSE NEEDS TO USE MY CAR?

That’s no problem. You can put your Autowatch Ghost immobiliser in to Service Mode any time. This is another short sequence and will temporarily disables your Ghost, allowing others to drive the vehicle without needing to enter your code. This is really useful when your vehicle needs to go in to a garage for an MOT or service.

Currently the Ghost Immobiliser cost for supply and fit is £499. Trackershop provides the quickest install times 7 days a week - so if you are happy with the Ghost immobiliser cost, we can install at your home, work, dealership or even on staycation

DOES THE GHOST IMMOBILISER VOID WARRANTY?
