Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter

The technology has evolved to keep pace with the increasing sophistication of car thieves. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser works with your vehicle's buttons on the steering wheel, centre console and door panels to generate an individual pin code sequence that must be entered before driving your car.

The device isn't easily detected by thieves, makes use of CAN data and does not have circuit breakers, making it a safe and simple-to-install system. RCA Cheadle are an approved installer of Ghost immobilisers and members of TASSA.

No Key Fobs or LED Indicators

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN immobiliser to ensure your car is safe from key cloning and theft, as well as hacking. It is integrated into the car's CAN data network. It operates silently so that it's undetectable and cannot be harmed simply by cutting wires.

The buttons on the steering wheel and on the door panels of your vehicle create an individual, reusable PIN code (up to 20 presses) that must be entered prior to driving. This is the same system that you use to access your credit card or mobile banking and can be altered at any time. It can be done in seconds using your smartphone and the application you downloaded. Or, if you prefer, you can use your keyfob.

This is a crucial aspect of the system which thieves will find it difficult to crack or decipher because it does not require extra electronics such as the key fob. The thief is unable to decipher the code and will have a hard finding a way overcome it. It is also inaccessible to diagnostics since no radio signals are transmitted and it cannot be detected by RF scanner technology that was used to fool security systems in the past.

It is also completely weatherproof and fits inside a small, waterproof device that can be plugged into the wiring harness of your vehicle at any time in your vehicle. It does not damage or leave marks on your vehicle which makes it a great option for those who are concerned about their vehicles and want to improve their security.

This is the most important aspect of all. Because there are no signals being sent that would make it impossible for thieves to see that they have breached your security device and to attempt to find ways of bypassing it. It is 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 that is used in modern vehicles that are becoming more and more sophisticated.

No Radio Signals

Like the previous example, unlike vehicle security devices which require a key fob or a special pin code to deactivate the ghost immobiliser, the ghost works quietly and does not emit any radio signals. This is because it connects directly to the CAN data bus, which means that a thief would be unable to trying to locate its presence in your vehicle. The immobiliser won't start your vehicle unless you enter the correct PIN sequence which can only be done via a series of buttons that are pressed in a particular order - and this is easily managed by the application.

This makes it more secure than immobilisers which employ a passive system. In these systems the immobiliser can only disconnect the ECU if the key is connected to an active signal. The systems can be disabled using a tag or keypad and by entering a pin code on the keypad, or by pressing a specific sequence of buttons. However, the ghost immobiliser cannot be disabled this way and, therefore, if you've had your car towed or stolen, you will not be able to drive it back until you enter the correct pin code.

The ghost immobiliser has been made to be resistant to the most sophisticated theft techniques, like copying. This is because thieves can attempt to duplicate your key fob, or even hack into your vehicle's ECU and override its security. The CAN immobiliser stops this by creating a unique pin code every time you start your car. This means that duplicate keys or systems for overriding are not able to function.

The CAN immobiliser provides excellent protection against signal boosters, which are used by thieves to bypass standard security systems that are factory-fitted. This means it is one of the most reliable and effective immobilisers we install at Progressive Parts. It is accepted by insurance companies and is also popular with customers who wish to surrender their vehicle for valet parking. It also has the feature of "Service Mode" that allows you to drive your vehicle temporarily without the need for a PIN code. This is helpful when your valet drivers or guests wish to drive your car.

No Circuit Cuts

The theft of cars in recent years has become increasingly common with organised thieves using sophisticated diagnostic devices to identify fitted security systems. The Ghost is designed to counter this by not using circuit cuts, it is inaccessible to any diagnostics, and it operates completely quietly on the vehicles CAN data circuit. It connects to the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) and a unique PIN code is entered which has to be used before the engine can start. The criminal won't be able to steal your vehicle simply by replacing the ECU or adding a new key. They must first enter the correct PIN code.

The system features the option of allowing your vehicle to be started and driven without needing your unique PIN. This is perfect for when you want to leave your vehicle with a mechanic or valet service. You can switch it off and on as you please so that no-one else can start your vehicle when you're not there.

The Autowatch ghost immobiliser reviews is a discrete, next generation device that connects to the CAN data network in your vehicle and has a customised PIN code that you set with our team. It is entered using buttons on your steering wheel and dashboard to turn off your engine. It's a weatherproof, tiny device that cannot be detected by traditional methods, which means there are no LED indicators and Fit it is completely hidden away during the installation and fitting. The Ghost is unnoticeable by modern, sophisticated RF scanning and code grabbing technology. It's also a fully reversible device which can be put in place or removed at any time.

No RF Scanning

Standard immobilisers are made to prevent your vehicle from starting when you do not have the proper key fob or code. It does this by sending a signal to the ECU which is recognised by the engine control unit and will shut down any component of the system that could be compromised.

Modern thieves however are always striving to stay a step ahead of automakers and have become more adept at using technologies like key cloning, hacking (relay attacks) and even key theft itself. They will usually enter your home and take out your letterbox. They might also take your car keys from inside your ignition or from your purse.

The Ghost is the world's first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that protects your vehicle from all of these threats. It connects to the CAN bus, works silently without radio signals, and isn't detected by RF scanners used by organised thieves. It is TASSA verified and approved by insurance companies, so you can be sure that it is safe to use and won't affect your warranty.

Ghost II is not detectable by diagnostic tools, in contrast to an immobiliser fitted in the factory. It's also unaffected by any other immobilisers, alarms or trackers you may have installed. This makes it a highly effective standalone solution that cannot be removed.

It's also easy to use - simply enter your pin code, and your car will begin. The immobiliser will also have the option of a service valet which can be activated by pressing the buttons on the steering wheel or on the door panels. This can be useful when you need to drive your car to the garage or when you leave it with a valet parking business. You can change the pin code as often as you want, so your car is secure at all times.
