General information The Autowatch Ghost-II is the next generation of the ground-breaking Ghost immobiliser. The Ghost-II has an innovative mechanism of engine lockout that uses the data network on the vehicle so that there is no additional wiring that can be easily found.
Terms and abbreviations • Disarm sequence – this is the unique sequence of button presses you choose and program into the Ghost-II that is used by you to disarm the system and allow you to drive. • Indication signal – on all Ghost-II installations there is deliberately NO dash mounted flashing LED as this would help thieves trace the wires back to the module and compromise security.
Hints and tips Here are a few things that will be helpful in making sure your experience with the Ghost-II is hassle free. • For those vehicles that the Ghost-II can stall the engine, it may be possible to start the engine before entering the disarm sequence.
Normal operation Entering the disarm sequence When you take delivery of your vehicle with the Ghost-II installed, professionally trained installation team will have set a default disarm sequence for you. This is generally simple and, for your security, should be changed as soon as possible after delivery.

If this does not work then turn off the ignition, wait 10 seconds and start again at step 1. Service/valet mode Your Ghost-II has a service/valet mode whereby you will not require the disarm sequence to be entered before starting or driving your vehicle. This is used when the vehicle is being serviced or valet parked.
Page 7
To enter service/valet mode simply enter the disarm sequence as normal. Once the indication signal flashes twice press the service button 5 times. The indication signal will flash 5 times to confirm that your Ghost-II is now in service/valet mode. To manually exit service/valet mode simply enter the disarm sequence at any time while the ignition is switched on.
Setup / configuration Entering disarm sequence change mode There are 2 ways to enter disarm sequence change mode: 1. Normal procedure: a. Switch on your vehicle ignition. b. Enter the current disarm sequence (DO NOT START THE ENGINE!). c. Press and hold the accelerator pedal to the floor.

Changing the disarm sequence Before changing the disarm sequence, here are some important things consider remember. • You need to know which buttons of your specific vehicle can be used for the disarm sequence. • During the learn procedure, each press of a button in the disarm sequence must be not more than 2 seconds apart.
Page 12
Before you start the learn process, plan the disarm sequence so that there is no hesitation whilst trying to learn it into the Ghost-II: 1. Your vehicle's ignition will be switched on following one of the ways to enter learn mode as described above, the indication signal will be flashing once every 3 seconds 2.

Functionality with the Shadow The Shadow is a security add-on unit that can add a siren without giving away the location of the Ghost-II unit. The Shadow is connected to the same CAN data network as the Ghost-II but is located away from the Ghost-II. The Shadow will trigger the siren output under the following conditions (*these are general guidelines, implementation in vehicles varies)
Page 14
• Attempted new key learning (not all vehicles) • The vehicle moves, and the Ghost-II does not respond The Shadow also has a miniature internal relay that used backup immobilisation should the Ghost-II be found and removed. This gives an extra layer of protection against a thief who has time to rip apart a vehicle to look for the Ghost-II.
