What is a Ghost Immobiliser?
A Ghost immobiliser is an aftermarket security system that adds a separate driver-authorisation requirement on a compatible vehicle.
How does a Ghost Immobiliser work?
The system requires an authorised disarm method before the vehicle can be driven. The exact operation depends on the installed Ghost product and vehicle.
What is the current Autowatch Ghost model?
Autowatch identifies Ghost-III as its current-generation CAN-based platform. Ghost-II is an earlier product that remains relevant to existing installations.
What is Ghost-III?
Ghost-III is Autowatch's current digital immobiliser platform, designed to support suitable modern CAN-FD and legacy CAN vehicle applications.
Is Ghost-II still available?
Autowatch states that Ghost-II is no longer in production. Existing units remain supported, while any new supply depends on genuine current availability.
What is the difference between Ghost-II and Ghost-III?
Ghost-III adds support for newer high-speed CAN-FD architectures as well as compatible older systems. The appropriate product depends on the vehicle and manufacturer compatibility.
Does a Ghost Immobiliser stop key cloning?
Ghost adds a separate authorisation requirement that can help protect against certain unauthorised driving methods, including risks involving cloned keys. No security system guarantees that a vehicle can never be stolen.
Does Ghost help protect against relay theft?
An additional immobilisation layer may help protect against some keyless-entry theft methods, because access to a working key signal alone may not complete the required driver authorisation.
Is a Ghost Immobiliser visible?
Ghost systems are designed for discreet installation without obvious external security indicators. The exact integration depends on the vehicle.
Does the Ghost Immobiliser use a PIN?
Supported installations allow a personal disarm sequence using compatible existing vehicle controls.
Can I change my Ghost PIN?
Compatible Ghost products support owner-managed changes to the disarm sequence according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Do I need to share my PIN with STX Tuning online?
No. Do not send your personal disarm sequence or emergency security code through an online quote form.
What is Ghost service or valet mode?
It is a supported feature allowing an appropriate temporary vehicle handover without sharing the normal disarm sequence. Operation depends on the Ghost model.
Can I take my Ghost-equipped car to a garage?
Yes. Suitable service-mode arrangements can allow normal authorised servicing and handover. Follow the installed product's owner guidance.
Does Ghost have a mobile app?
Some Ghost configurations offer supported smartphone authorisation features. Availability and suitability depend on the product and vehicle.
Does Ghost need a separate key fob?
The normal personal-button-sequence method doesn't require an additional fob. Some newer or optional configurations may support tags or other authorisation methods.
Does Ghost need a subscription?
An immobiliser-only installation does not ordinarily involve a GPS-monitoring subscription. Any separate tracker or connected service must have its own current terms confirmed.
Is Ghost the same as a GPS tracker?
No. A Ghost immobiliser adds driver authorisation. A GPS tracker provides location or monitoring functions according to its separate product and service.
Can I get Ghost and a tracker together?
You can request a combined vehicle-security quotation where suitable products and installation services are available.
Can Ghost prevent the vehicle being towed away?
No immobiliser can physically prevent a vehicle from being lifted or transported. Ghost provides an additional driving-authorisation security layer.
