GHOST IMMOBILISER INSTALLATIONS
Providing customised security solutions for your unique needs
In Australia 7 in 10 cars are stolen with their own key.
1 in 5 are stolen with a key programmer, with 3 in 4 stolen from home or directly outside the home.
OEM vehicle security has improved over the last few years, but as technology advances and becomes more accessible, it also finds its way in to the wrong hands.
The greatest threat at this very moment is the key programmer. In the wrong hands, these devices can start a vehicle within 30 seconds. The most targeted vehicles are the VF Commodore, Subaru WRX and BRZ, Nissan Patrol Y62 also the Toyota Landcruiser 200 series and the gt86.
Relay attacks are another example of the misuse of technology used in automotive theft. Usually a team of two armed with a receiver, amplifier and a transmitter will trick the vehicle in to thinking the key is within range to unlock, start and drive away usually in under 30 seconds! All while you're fast asleep and your key sits on your bedside table.
Another threat is Sneak theft. As the name suggests offenders sneak in to homes through open doors or windows and simply steal keys from counter tops, bags or key hooks. This can also happen anywhere you may leave your keys, the top drawer of your desk, gym locker or even the top of your workshop toolbox.
This is where the Autowatch Ghost II comes in.
The Autowatch Ghost II was the world's first CAN bus immobiliser system.
With a carefully planned and executed installation, we can can make sure that your pride and joy is ready to take on these modern day attack methods.
The Ghost protects your car from key-cloning, hacking, and even key theft. The Ghost has no key-fobs or LED indications to give away its location. The Ghost uses the buttons in your vehicle such as those on the steering wheel, door panels or centre console, to allow you to make a unique, changeable, disarm sequence (like a PIN code) that must first be entered before you can drive your car. You can make your car disarm sequence even safer by making it up to 20 presses long!
The Autowatch Ghost II features
Immobilisation by communicating with the ECU.
Disarm sequence via buttons on steering wheel / dash.
No transmitted radio frequency signals.
Uses the on-board CAN data network.
User changeable disarm sequence.
Service / Valet mode means the disarm sequence is never compromised.

Own a VF Commodore?
After the best package to keep your pride and joy secure?
With thefts at an all time high, a layered approach provides the best protection.
Our Autowatch Ghost II, GPS tracker and Ghost horn package provides these layers to keep your VF secure.
After finding the shortcomings of the factory horn system, and also those of the aftermarket options, I set out to develop a horn kit that couldn't be easily disabled like the others.
The Ghost horn kit adds an additional horn that isn't affected by the removal of the 15 amp horn fuse located in the engine bay fusebox.
This new horn isn't located at the strut tower top like the "relocation kits" on offer where it's easy to unplug and also unsightly.
If the original horns are comprimised, wiring is cut, fuse is blown, relay is damaged, the Ghost horn will sound when the factory alarm is triggered.
Unfortunately it isn't a DIY kit because lets face it, if it's easy to fit it's even easier to remove.
The GPS layer comes in to play if the car is towed.
Tracking comes from our partners at Track My Ride. Aussie based servers means your info isn't sold off. Aussie based support means you get help when you need it.
With push notifications to your phone for,
• Engine start
• Motion when engine is off (towing)
• Main power disconnect
• Geo fence
• Harsh driving/braking (great for when it's getting serviced and out of sight)
Just to mention a few.
It also has an internal battery which will keep the unit running if main power is disconnected. The GPS unit is made by one of the world's leading GPS manufacturers in Lithuania, and not from a white box factory/supplier with a sticker on it and 300% markup.
Whether it's one element or the total package, if you'd like some peace of mind in this current climate reach out, I'm always happy to help.
Our Story
Who?
Hi, I'm Peter. I'm the guy with the pink screwdriver.
My car audio/visual/security journey started back in 1999. Having had the privilege of working with some of the best installers of the era, I was able to feed my curiosity off the knowledge and experience they had gained decades earlier.
Having heard "that sound system's worth more than the car" on numerous occasions, it dawns on you pretty early that there are some people out there who want what you have more than you do, and without having to work for it either... Having picked up the security basics from my mentors, I discovered I had a drive and actually enjoyed the challenge of making vehicles as hard to steal as possible.
Throughout my journey I've obtained my,
• Certificate II in Electronics (Automotive Accessories).
• Certificate III in Automotive Electrical Technology.
I have also acquired my individual and master security licences as per the requirements of the NSW Police force Security Licensing & Enforcement Directorate (SLED). It is mandatory to carry the appropriate licences to sell, install, maintain, repair, service and provide advice in relation to security equipment in the state of NSW.
• Class MA master security licence #000109906.
• Class 2C security equipment specialist security licence #S00013421.
Most importantly I've gained a lot of experience along the way, the kind you just can't learn from books. I'm also a little fussy and I think my work shows this.
Why?
I started Ghost Immobiliser Installations to provide a higher level installation experience.
To achieve the experience I was aiming for, I needed to move away from the workshop environment and offer a mobile/onsite service. Primarily to cater for the enthusiast who gets anxious at the thought of leaving their pride and joy in an unfamiliar environment.
Having worked in numerous high turnover workshops, you come to realise there's always a time factor associated with every job that came through. Any installer will tell you how much they dislike the tap on the shoulder followed by "how much longer?".
Without these extra pressures I can now deliver a standard of work I'm truly happy with. No more hearing "it'll do" "that's good enough" or "I'm sure they won't mind" but instead I do the absolute best I can, every time.
