Ghost Immobiliser Installation
Ghost immobilisers stop thieves from cloning the key fob of your vehicle and hijacking it. The device connects to the CAN data network in your vehicle and stops the engine from starting until a pin code has been entered through buttons on the steering wheel or dashboard panel.
Some systems allow the owner to temporarily disable the system with an application on mobile devices, for example when lending their vehicle to someone else to service or valet. These are the reasons why a number of insurance companies offer discounted rates for those with a ghost immobiliser.
Concealing the Immobiliser Unit
Ghost immobilisers are an advanced vehicle security system that prevents your vehicle from starting unless you enter a pre-determined PIN code sequence. It utilizes the buttons on your vehicle such as those on the steering wheel, dashboard and door panels to generate an individual code that needs to be entered in order to start your vehicle. The device operates silently so that thieves are unable to detect its presence. It is an increasingly popular method of protecting keys-free entry vehicles. The device is becoming more popular with insurance companies and could lower monthly premiums.
The most popular method of getting into a car is the process of'relay hacking'' where thieves capture and amplify the signal sent by your car's remote key. This enables thieves to unlock and begin your car. Installing a ghost immobiliser will ensure you are safe from this type of theft by preventing your vehicle from starting, even within the reach of the fob.
When installing the Ghost immobiliser it is crucial to follow the user manual closely to ensure that all connections are secure and that your Ghost immobiliser is operating properly. Hand tools are the most basic to be used to assist in making precise connections, such as a multimeter to test the electrical properties, and cable ties and insulation tape to shield your wiring from any short circuits.
After your Ghost immobiliser is in place it is now ready to be used. However, we suggest that regular tests are performed by entering the PIN and starting the engine. This will help you find any issues with your system swiftly and help prevent a violation of your vehicle's security.

Referring to the Ghost Immobiliser's user's guide can also be useful to provide more specific details for identifying these locations.
Once you've identified the CAN H and L wires, carefully cut away a small section of insulation to expose the copper conductors underneath. You can then connect the connectors using high-quality solder to join them. It is important to use high-quality parts, as poor connections can cause electrical shorts and the malfunctioning of the immobiliser. After the connections have been established, check them again to ensure they're secure and sealed.
The Ghost immobiliser must be connected to both an electrical power source and a grounding source. Identifying a consistent 12V source is important, as it will provide the immobiliser with the required power. It is important to have a good grounding point to prevent power surges and safeguard the system from electrical failures.
Once the connections are made, you are able to test the Ghost immobiliser. You can do this by pressing a set of buttons that are programmed to arm the system (these can be programmed using the buttons in your car, such as those in the steering wheel, door panels and centre console). If you are worried about your car being robbed, Autowatch's Ghost 2 is equipped with Transport Mode to temporarily disarm the system when renting your vehicle through platforms like Turo.
