Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter

The technology has evolved to keep up with the ever-increasing sophistication of car thieves. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser works with your vehicles existing buttons on the steering wheel as well as the centre console and door panels to create a unique pin code sequence that must be entered before driving your vehicle.

The device isn't easily detected by thieves, uses CAN data, and has no circuit breakers, which makes it a safe and simple-to-install system. RCA Cheadle is an approved Ghost immobiliser installer and member of TASSA.

No Key Fobs or LED Indications

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN-based immobiliser designed to safeguard your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and key theft. It operates in a quiet manner and integrated into the CAN network of your car.

It creates a unique, alterable PIN code sequence (up to 20 presses) using the buttons on your car's door panels and steering wheel that need to be entered before you are able to drive. It is the same system that you use to access mobile banking or your credit card. You can change it at anytime. This can be done in a matter of seconds on your smartphone, with the app installed or, if you prefer, you could use your key fob.

This is a crucial characteristic of the system that thieves will struggle to break or figure out because it doesn't require any additional electronics, like the key fob. This means that it is impossible that the thief would know the code and will struggle to find ways to get around this. It is also inaccessible to diagnostics since no radio signals are being transmitted and it cannot be detected by RF scanner technology that was used to fake security systems in the past.

It's also weatherproof and can be plugged into the form of a small waterproof device that is plugged into the wiring harness of your vehicle at any time in your vehicle. It does not damage or leave marks on your vehicle and is a great option for those who are concerned about their cars and want to increase their security.

The best part is that there aren't signals sent. This means that thieves cannot see if they have cracked the security device or try to evade it. It's a great option to protect any car owner, but especially since criminals are increasingly targeting the latest vehicles that have sophisticated technology.

No Radio Signals

As previously mentioned, unlike other vehicle security devices which require a key fob or a specific pin code to disable the ghost immobiliser, the ghost 2 immobiliser problems works quietly and does not emit any radio signals. This is due to it connecting directly to the CAN data bus, which means that a thief would be unable to trying to identify its presence in your vehicle. The immobiliser will not start your vehicle until you enter the correct PIN sequence which can only be accomplished through a number of buttons that are pressed in a particular order - and this is easily controlled via the application.

This makes it more secure than immobilisers which employ a passive system. In these systems, the immobiliser will only disconnect the ECU when the key is connected to an active signal. These systems can be disabled by tapping on the receiver with a tag, typing in the pin number on the keypad or pressing a specific sequence of buttons on a screen. However the ghost immobiliser cannot be disabled in this way and, therefore, if you've had your car tow-ed or stolen, you'll not be able to drive it back until you enter the correct pin code.

The ghost immobiliser has also been designed to be immune to the most sophisticated theft methods, such as copying. This is because thieves may try to duplicate your key fob or even hack your vehicle's ECU to thwart the security. However the CAN immobiliser has been designed to prevent this from happening, since it generates an individual pin code each time you want to start your car, which means that it will not be possible to start your car using any key that is cloned or overriding system.

Additionally, the CAN-Immobiliser offers excellent protection against signal boosting, which is used by thieves to thwart the factory-fitted immobilisers. This means it is one of the most reliable and efficient immobilisers we install at Progressive Parts. This is why it's insurance-approved, and is also a favorite among customers who have to surrender their vehicle for valet parking or a service. It comes with the feature of "Service Mode" that lets you drive your vehicle for a period of time without the need for a PIN code. This is helpful if guests or valet drivers want 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 designed to fight this by avoiding circuit cuts, it is completely 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 that must be used before the engine will start. The thief will not be able to take your car by simply replacing the ECU or adding a new key. They must first enter the correct PIN code.

The system has an option for service that allows your vehicle to be started and driven without requiring your personal PIN. This is perfect for when you're planning to leave your vehicle with a mechanic or valet service. You can also turn it off and on at any time to ensure that nobody else will be able to start your vehicle even if you're there.

No RF Scanning

Standard immobilisers are designed to stop your vehicle from starting in the event that you don't have the correct key fob or the right code. It does this by sending an immobiliser signal to the ECU. The engine control unit will then detect the signal and shuts off any component that is compromised.

Modern thieves, however, are always looking to stay ahead of car makers. They have developed new technologies like key cloning (relay attacks) hacking (relay attacks) as well as key theft.
