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 your car's CAN data network. It operates silently so that it is undetectable and cannot be disabled simply by cutting wires.

It creates a unique, changeable PIN code sequence (up to 20 presses) by pressing the buttons on your car's door panels and steering wheel that need to be entered before you can drive. This is the same method that you use to access your mobile banking or credit card and can be changed at any point. It can be done in a matter of seconds using your smartphone and the application you downloaded. If you prefer to use your keyfob.

This is an important characteristic of the system that thieves will find difficult to crack or work out as it does not require any additional electronics, like the key fob. The thief cannot guess the code and will have a tough time finding a way to escape it. It is also inaccessible to diagnostics, since there are no radio signals being sent and it cannot be detected by RF scanner technology that was used to fool security systems in the past.

It's also weatherproof and can be plugged into an extremely small waterproof device that can be plugged into the wiring harness of your vehicle at any time in your vehicle. It will not harm or leave marks on your vehicle and is a great option for those who are worried about their vehicles and want to improve their security.

This is the greatest benefit of all. Since there aren't any signals sent that would make it impossible for thieves to know that they have breached your security device and attempt to find ways of bypassing it. It's a fantastic addition to any car owner's security, especially since the newer cars are being targeted by criminals that can profit from the new technology found in modern vehicles that are becoming more and more sophisticated.

No Radio Signals

As mentioned, unlike other vehicle security devices which require an ID card or specific pin code to disable, the ghost immobiliser works in a silent manner and doesn't emit any radio signals. It connects directly to the CAN data bus. This means that a thief would have a very difficult time trying to locate its presence in your vehicle. The immobiliser won't be able to start your vehicle unless you enter the correct PIN sequence, which is only possible via a series of buttons that are pressed in a particular sequence - and it is easily controlled via the app.

This makes it more secure than other immobilisers which use a passive system, where the immobiliser is only able to disconnect the ECU from power only if a key is present and there is an active signal on board. These systems can be turned off with a tag or keypad and by entering a pin number into the keypad or by pressing a particular sequence of buttons. The ghost immobiliser, however, can't be disabled in this manner. If your vehicle is stolen or tow-away, you won't be able drive it back until the pin code is entered.

The ghost immobiliser has been developed to resist the most sophisticated theft methods such as copying. This is because thieves could 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 when you start your car. This means that duplicate keys or systems for overriding will not work.

Furthermore, the CAN immobiliser provides excellent protection against signal boosters and is often used by thieves to thwart the factory-fitted immobilisers. This means it is one of the most reliable and efficient immobilisers that we install at Progressive Parts. This is why it is insurance-approved and is also a popular choice for customers who need to give their car for valet parking or another service. It has a 'Service Mode' that permits your vehicle to be driven on a temporary basis without the need for a PIN This can be handy if you have guests or valet drivers that want to drive your vehicle.

No Circuit Cuts

In recent years, car theft has increased, as organized criminals employ sophisticated diagnostic tools to detect security systems. The Ghost is designed to combat this by not making circuit cuts, it is unnoticeable by any diagnostics and operates in a silent manner on the vehicle's CAN data circuit. It connects to the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) and a unique PIN code is entered that must be entered before the engine can start. This means that a thief can't simply insert a new key or replace the ECU to steal your vehicle. They'll have to enter the correct pin code prior to entering.

The system has an option for service that allows your vehicle to be driven and started without the need for a unique PIN. This is ideal for when your vehicle is getting its service, or if you have to leave the vehicle with a valet business or mechanic.

No RF Scanning

It does this by sending an alarm to the ECU which is recognised by the engine control unit, and shuts down any components in the system that may be compromised.

Modern thieves are always trying to keep ahead of car manufacturers. They have developed new techniques like key cloning (relay attacks) and hacking (relay attacks) and even key theft. The thieves often resort to breaking and entering your home, and then scouring your letterbox, taking keys to your car from your bag or even from your ignition.

The Ghost is the world's first aftermarket immobiliser for the CAN bus that shields your vehicle from these dangers.
