Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter

Car thieves are getting more sophisticated and smarter, so technology has to change to keep up. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser uses your vehicle's buttons on the steering wheel and central console to generate an individual pincode sequence that must be entered prior to driving your car.

The device is unnoticeable to thieves, it uses CAN data and has no circuit breaks, making it a very safe, easy to install system. RCA Cheadle are an approved installer of Ghost immobilisers as well as a member of TASSA.

No key fobs or LED indicators.

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN-based immobiliser designed to protect your vehicle against key-cloning and theft, as well as hacking. It operates in a quiet manner and is incorporated into your vehicle's CAN network.

It generates a unique, changeable PIN code sequence (up to 20 presses) using the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheel and door panels that must be entered prior to being able to drive. It is the same system that you use to access mobile banking or your credit card. You can alter it at any time. This can be done in a matter of seconds on your smartphone, with the app downloaded, or if you prefer you could use your key fob.

This is an important aspect of the system which thieves will find it difficult to break or understand since it doesn't require additional electronics like the key fob. Therefore, there is no way that a thief will be able to identify the code and will struggle to find a way around this. It is also inaccessible to diagnostics, since no radio signals are transmitted and it cannot be detected by RF scanners that were used to fake security systems in the past.

It is also weatherproof and can be plugged in to the wiring of your vehicle at any time. As a result, it doesn't cause any damage or marks to your vehicle - making it a desirable option for those who are concerned about their vehicles and want to improve their security.

This is the best part of all - because there aren't any signals sent, there is no way for thieves to see that they have cracked your security device, and try and find ways to bypass it. It is an excellent security feature for any car owner, especially since criminals are increasingly targeting the latest vehicles that have sophisticated technology.

No Radio Signals

As previously mentioned, unlike other vehicle security devices that require the use of a key fob or specific pin code to disable the ghost immobiliser, the ghost works silently and does not emit any radio signals. It is connected directly to the CAN bus, which means thieves will have a difficult time being able to detect its presence. The immobiliser won't start your vehicle unless you enter the correct PIN sequence which can only be done by pressing a few buttons that are pressed in a particular order - and this is easily managed by the application.

This makes it more secure than immobilisers which utilize a passive system. In these systems, the immobiliser will only disconnect the ECU when the key is present with an active signal. The systems can be turned off by tapping on the receiver using a tag, entering the pin number on a keypad or pressing a specific sequence of buttons on a screen. The ghost immobiliser can't be disabled in this manner. If your car is stolen or towed away and you are unable to return it until the pin code has been entered.

The ghost immobiliser is also designed to resist the most sophisticated types of theft such as cloning. This is because thieves may attempt to duplicate your key fob, or even hack your vehicle's ECU to bypass the security. The CAN immobiliser blocks this by generating an unique pin code each when you start your car. This means that any duplicate keys or systems for overriding won't work.

Additionally, the CAN-Immobiliser is a great protection against signal boosting, which is used by thieves to overcome standard factory-fitted immobilisers. It is therefore one of the most efficient and reliable immobilisers we fit at Progressive Parts. This is the reason it is insurance-approved, and it is also a popular choice for customers who have to surrender their vehicle for valet parking or a service. It comes with a 'Service Mode' that allows your vehicle to be driven on a temporary basis without needing the PIN code, which can come in handy when you have guests or valet drivers who wish to drive your vehicle.

No Circuit Cuts

The theft of cars in recent years has become more and more frequent, with organized thieves using sophisticated diagnostics devices to detect fitted security systems. The Ghost is specifically designed to serve this for this purpose. It cannot be detected by any diagnostics, and it works silently 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. This code is used to start the engine. This means that a thief can't simply insert a new key or replace the ECU in order to steal your vehicle, they will need to enter the correct pin code before they can start.

The system also has a service valet mode that allows your car to start and drive without needing your unique PIN. This is perfect for when you're planning to leave your vehicle with an auto mechanic or valet service. You can switch it on and off as you like so that nobody else will be able to start your vehicle when you are not there.

No RF Scanning

Standard immobilisers are designed to stop your car from being started in the event that you don't have the correct key fob or code. It does this by sending an alarm to the ECU, which is then recognised by the engine control unit, and shuts down any components in the system that may be compromised.

Modern criminals, however, are always trying to stay ahead of car manufacturers. They have adapted techniques like key cloning (relay attacks), hacking (relay attacks) and even key theft. The thieves often resort to breaking into your home, and then scouring your letterbox, stealing the car keys from your handbag or even from your ignition.
