Entering your PIN Code
When your engineer installs your Ghost Immobiliser they will set your unique PIN sequence with you. This can be reset by you after the engineer leaves - be aware that any errors in reprogramming your PIN that lead to an engineer revisit may incur a service charge.
Changing Your PIN Sequence
To change your PIN sequence please follow the below instructions. You will be provided with a hand over card by your engineer after your installation. This will also have instructions on how to change your sequence. Please note that your engineer will most likely program your Ghost with a four button sequence. You can change your PIN anytime to a sequence of up to 20 actions. However, 4 digits provides a good balance between being user-friendly AND ensuring comprehensive security. This is the same number of actions as a bank card PIN code, where there is a 1 in 10,000 chance of guessing the PIN. With even more buttons to choose, the odds are even better with your Ghost!
To enter your sequence follow these steps:
1. Switch on your vehicle ignition
2. Press each button in your sequence. Completely and in the order in which it has been set up.
3. Wait until the indication signal flashes twice.
4. Start your vehicle
Using your emergency PIN
1. Switch your ignition on. DO NOT START THE ENGINE.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal.
3. Fully press and then release the accelerator pedal a number of times corresponding
to the first digit of the emergency code number.
4. Release and then press and hold the brake pedal.
5. Repeat for the remaining 3 digits of the emergency code number.
6. If it is correctly done the indication signal will be flashing once every 3 seconds and you will be able to drive.
7. The Ghost II is now in ‘learn mode’, and you can follow points 5 and 6 from the ‘Change Your Sequence’ section above to set a new PIN.
Troubleshooting
Problems Entering Disarm Sequence
These tips are helpful if you are trying to enter your disarm sequence are not getting your 2 flash confirmation that the Ghost is disarmed.
• Are there any switches that need to be in a particular position before entering the code (mirror adjustment, cruise control on, fan on etc.)
• Are you waiting for the 2 flash confirmation before trying to start
• Try waiting 5 seconds before trying to enter the disarm sequence, if that does not work try waiting 10 seconds after switching on ignition before trying the disarm sequence
• Make sure you are switching on full ignition, not just accessory power. The dash lights should all light up and then most of them will turn off
Finally if none of these are working try these things.
1. Use the 4 digit emergency code on the back of the emergency code behind the scratch off area (check card for details)
2. Remove the vehicle battery for 2 minutes and try the normal process again
Problems With Stop/Start
The stop/start eco mode on modern cars is a very complicated and sensitive system that requires just the right inputs before it will work correctly. These include battery voltage, engine temperature, external temperature, what electrical systems are active and many
more.
When the system does not work as expected it can be very difficult to diagnose what is causing the problem, in almost all cases it is not Ghost related but here are a few things you can try if you are having a problem and suspect it is Ghost related.
Stop Thieves In Their tracks
Relay attacks are a common method used by criminals to gain access to vehicles. The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is a highly effective way to protect your vehicle from these attacks.
The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser works by blocking the signals from the relay device used in a replay attack. As a result, the signals can't be recieved by the vehicle's electronics, preventing the theif from being able to start the engine.
With the Ghost immobiliser installed in your vehicle, you can rest assured that your vehicle is safe & secure from relay attacks.

DOESN'T MY CAR ALREADY HAVE AN IMMOBILISER?
It's highly likely that it does! Factory-fitted immobilisers have been installed as standard by manufacturers in all vehicles since 1998.Factory fitted immobilisers protect your vehicle if a thief does not have your key or tries to 'hot wire' your vehicle.However, modern theft techniques include key hacking, key theft, and relay attack. All of these allow a thief to bypass the factory fitted immobiliser.
HOW DO CAR IMMOBILISERS WORK?
When you enter in to your vehicle with your key / fob, a code is sent from your key to the ECU (electronic control unit). If the code is correct the car will start as required, by activating the
- Fuel system
- Starter motor
- Ignition
If the code is wrong or someone tries to hotwire the car, the immobiliser will not allow the vehicle to start.
