Autowatch Ghost 2 CAN-Bus Immobiliser
Protect your vehicle with one of the most advanced aftermarket immobiliser systems available in the UK. The Autowatch Ghost 2 is a fully hidden CAN-bus immobiliser that prevents theft by blocking engine start unless your unique security code has been entered. It protects against modern car theft techniques such as key cloning, hacking, relay attacks and ECU swapping, offering ultimate peace of mind for owners of cars, vans and other vehicles.
Product Overview
The Autowatch Ghost 2 does not rely on traditional key fobs, external remotes, RF signals or LED indicators. Instead it integrates invisibly into your vehicle’s internal CAN data network and communicates directly with the engine control unit (ECU) to immobilise your vehicle. Only the correct disarm code will allow the engine to start.
Whether your keys are cloned, stolen or hacked, Ghost 2 ensures the vehicle remains immobile without the correct entry sequence. The system is stealthy, silent and undetectable to thieves and scanning devices alike. It is widely installed by authorised professionals throughout the UK.

Key Features
-
Ghost 2 connects directly with your vehicle’s CAN-bus system to control engine start authorization. If the correct code is not entered, the immobiliser blocks the ECU from allowing the engine to start.
-
Instead of a physical remote, Ghost 2 uses your vehicle’s existing dashboard and steering wheel buttons for PIN entry. You create a unique code sequence up to 20 presses long which must be entered before the vehicle will start. Thieves cannot guess or bypass this code using standard hacking or key cloning techniques.
-
There are no RF signals, no LED indicators and no external units that can be spotted or targeted by criminals. This makes Ghost 2 fully undetectable using RF scanners or diagnostic tools.
-
Unlike some aftermarket systems, Ghost 2 does not create circuit cuts or identifiable traces in the vehicle wiring. It cannot be found with diagnostic theft tools that look for aftermarket security.
-
For garage visits or valet parking, Ghost 2 features a Service Mode that temporarily permits the vehicle to start without the security code while keeping your code secure.
-
Should you ever forget your PIN sequence, Ghost 2 comes with a secure emergency reset code that allows you to reset your PIN without disabling the system.
-
For added convenience, the Ghost 2 system can pair with up to two smartphones using a dedicated app. When a paired phone is within 5 to 10 metres and the app is running, Ghost 2 can disarm automatically via Bluetooth, saving you from entering the PIN in daily use.
-
Ghost 2 is TASSA (Tracker and Aftermarket Security System Association) verified and recognised by many UK insurance providers as a high performance immobiliser solution.
-
Once installed, Ghost 2 does not require any continuing fees, subscription services or monitoring charges to keep your vehicle secure.

FAQs
-
The Autowatch Ghost 2 immobiliser integrates directly with your vehicle’s CAN-bus network and prevents the engine from starting unless a unique PIN sequence is entered using factory buttons such as the steering wheel or dashboard controls. Because it communicates digitally with the ECU, there are no traditional circuit cuts or visible components. This approach is similar in concept to advanced systems such as the Meta AUTOBLOK engine immobiliser, with both designed to stop theft at the engine start stage.
-
Yes. The Ghost 2 is specifically designed to stop modern theft methods including relay attacks, key cloning and ECU manipulation. Even if a thief gains access to your vehicle or clones the original keys, the engine will remain immobilised without the correct disarm sequence. For owners combining layered security, Ghost 2 can also be used alongside GPS vehicle trackers to add recovery protection in the unlikely event of a vehicle being physically moved.
-
No. The Ghost 2 emits no radio frequency signals, has no LEDs and uses no external fobs. It cannot be detected using RF scanners.
-
No. A smartphone is not required for the system to function. The immobiliser works entirely via the PIN sequence entered using vehicle controls. Bluetooth smartphone pairing is optional and can be enabled for convenience if you want the vehicle to disarm automatically when your phone is nearby. Many customers choose to rely solely on the manual PIN entry for maximum security.
-
Yes. The Ghost 2 is TASSA verified and recognised by many UK insurance providers as a high-security aftermarket immobiliser. Installation should always be carried out by an authorised professional to ensure correct CAN-bus integration and long-term reliability. If you are unsure whether Ghost 2 is suitable for your vehicle, you can speak to our security specialists to confirm compatibility and installation options.
