Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter
Car thieves are becoming more sophisticated and smarter, so technology has evolved to keep up. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser works with your vehicles existing buttons on the steering wheel and centre console as well as door panels to make a unique pin code sequence which must be entered before driving your car.
The device is unnoticeable to thieves, it utilizes CAN data and does not have circuit breaks, making it an extremely secure, simple to install device. RCA Cheadle is an approved Ghost immobiliser fitter and a member of TASSA.
No key fobs or LED indicators
The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN-based immobiliser designed to ensure your car is safe from key cloning, hacking and key theft. It operates silently and is incorporated into your car's CAN network.
The buttons on the steering wheel and the door panels of your vehicle create a unique, re-usable PIN code (up to 20 presses), which must be entered prior to driving. This is the same system that you use to access your mobile banking or credit card and can be altered at any time. It can be done in seconds with your smartphone and the application you downloaded. Or, if you prefer using your keyfob.
This is a key aspect of the system which thieves will find it difficult to crack or figure out because it does not require additional electronics like the key fob. As such, there is no way thieves will know the code and will struggle to find an escape route to this. It's also inaccessible to diagnostics since there aren't radio signals being broadcast and can't be detected by RF scanning technology that has been used to deceive security systems in recent years.
It is also weatherproof and can be connected to the vehicle's wiring at any point. As a result, it doesn't cause any damage or marks to your vehicle, making it an attractive option for those who are concerned about their automobiles and want to improve their security.
The most appealing aspect is that there aren't signals sent. This means that thieves are unable to see if they have cracked the security device or attempt to evade it. It's a great accessory to any car's security, particularly as newer cars are being targeted by criminals who are able to benefit from the latest technology found in modern vehicles that are becoming more and more sophisticated.
No Radio Signals
As mentioned, unlike other vehicle security devices which require a key fob or a special pin code to turn off, the ghost immobiliser works quietly and does not emit any radio signals. This is due to it connecting directly to the CAN data bus. This means that a thief would have a difficult time trying to detect its presence in your vehicle. The immobiliser won't be able to start your vehicle until you have entered the correct PIN sequence. This is only possible by pressing a set of buttons in a particular order. This is easily managed via the application.
This makes it safer than immobilisers that utilize a passive system. In these systems the immobiliser can only disconnect the ECU when the key is paired with an active signal. These systems can be turned off by using a tag or a keypad or keypad, by entering a pin code into the keypad or by pressing a particular sequence of buttons. However the ghost immobiliser can't be disabled by this method in the event that you have your car towed or stolen, you will not be allowed to return it until you enter the correct pin code.
The ghost immobiliser has also been made to be resistant to the most sophisticated theft techniques, like copying. This is because thieves could try to duplicate your key fob, or even hack your vehicle's ECU to thwart the security. The CAN immobiliser prevents this by generating an unique pin code each when you start your vehicle. This means that any duplicate keys or systems for overriding will not work.
Additionally, the CAN-Immobiliser provides excellent protection against signal boosting that is utilized by thieves to defeat the factory-fitted immobilisers. It is, therefore, one of the most efficient and reliable immobilisers we install at Progressive Parts. This is the reason it is insurance-approved and is also a popular choice for customers who have to give their car for valet parking or a service. It comes with an "Service Mode" that allows you to drive your vehicle temporarily without the need for PIN codes. This is helpful if guests or valet drivers are able to drive your vehicle.
No Circuit Cuts
Car theft in recent years has become more more common with organised thieves using sophisticated diagnostics tools to detect fitted security systems. The Ghost is specifically designed to serve this reason. It isn't detected by any diagnostics and operates in complete silence with the CAN data circuit of the vehicle. It connects to the vehicle's ECU and it is able to identify a pin code when entered. ghost immobilisers must be used to start the engine. This means that thieves cannot just add a new key or replace the ECU in order to take your vehicle. They'll need to enter the correct pin code before they can start.
The system features a service mode that allows your vehicle to be started and driven without requiring your personal PIN. This is ideal the time that your vehicle needs its services, or when you're required to leave it with a valet service or mechanic.

No RF Scanning
Standard immobilisers are designed to stop your car from being started if you do not have the proper key fob or code. It does this by sending an immobiliser signal to the ECU. The engine control unit then recognises the signal and shuts off any components that are compromised.
Modern criminals, however, are always looking to stay ahead of car manufacturers. They have developed new technologies like key cloning (relay attacks) and hacking (relay attacks), and even key theft.
