Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter

Car thieves are getting smarter and smarter so technology has evolved to keep up. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser uses your vehicle's buttons on the steering wheel and centre console to create a unique pincode sequence that needs to be entered prior to driving your car.

The device is not detectable by thieves, makes use of CAN data and has no circuit breakers, which makes it a secure and easy-to-install system. RCA Cheadle is an approved Ghost immobiliser installer and member of TASSA.

No Key Fobs or LED Signs

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN immobiliser to safeguard your vehicle from key cloning or hacking, as well as key theft. It is integrated into your car's CAN data network. It operates in a quiet manner, ensuring that it's undetectable and cannot be disabled through simple wire cutting.

It generates a unique, changeable PIN code sequence (up to 20 presses) using the buttons on your vehicle's door and steering wheel that must be entered prior to being able to drive. It's the same system that you use to access your mobile banking or credit card and can be altered at any time. You can do this within a matter of minutes with your smartphone and the app you downloaded. Or, if you prefer using your keyfob.

This is an important characteristic of the system that thieves will find difficult to break or understand because it doesn't require additional electronics like the key fob. As such, there is no way that a thief will be able to identify the code and will be unable to find a way around this. It is also inaccessible to diagnostics since no radio signals are being transmitted and it is not detected by RF scanner technology that was used to spoof security systems in the past.

It is also weatherproof and can be connected to the wiring of your vehicle at any point. It doesn't cause any damage or marks to your vehicle, making it a great choice for those who are concerned about their vehicles and want to improve their security.

The greatest thing about it is that there are no signals sent. This means that thieves cannot see whether they have hacked the security device or attempt to get around it. It's an excellent option to protect any car owner, but especially since criminals are increasingly targeting the latest cars with their advanced technology.

No Radio Signals

As previously mentioned as opposed to other vehicle security devices that require a key fob, or a pin code, to disable them, the ghost immobiliser operates silently and doesn't emit any radio signals. It is directly connected to the CAN bus, so a thief is unable to identifying its presence. The immobiliser won't start your car unless you enter the right PIN sequence. This is only possible by pressing a sequence of buttons in a certain order. It is easy to manage by using the application.

This makes it safer than immobilisers that utilize an active system. In these systems, the immobiliser will only shut off the ECU if the key is present with an active signal. The systems can be turned off by tapping the receiver using a tag, typing in the pin number on a keypad or pressing a particular sequence of buttons on a screen. However the ghost immobiliser can't be disabled by this method in the event that you have your car tow-ed or stolen, you'll not be capable of driving it back until you enter the correct pin code.

The ghost immobiliser is also designed to be immune to the most sophisticated types of theft such as cloning. This is because thieves could attempt to duplicate your key fob or even hack your vehicle's ECU to thwart the security. However, the CAN immobiliser is specifically designed to block this from happening, since it generates an individual pin code each time you want to start your car, meaning that it will not be possible to start your vehicle using any key that is cloned or overriding system.

Furthermore, the CAN immobiliser offers excellent protection against signal boosters and is often used by thieves to defeat the factory-fitted immobilisers. It is, therefore, one of the most efficient and reliable immobilisers we install at Progressive Parts. It is endorsed by insurance companies and is also popular with customers who want to hand over their car to valet parking. It comes with an "Service Mode" that allows you to drive your vehicle temporarily without the need for an PIN code. This is useful if your valet drivers or guests want to drive your vehicle.

No Circuit Cuts

In recent years, vehicle theft has increased, as organized criminals employ sophisticated diagnostic tools to identify security systems. The Ghost is designed to combat this by avoiding circuit cuts, it is unnoticeable by any diagnostics and operates silently 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 entered before the engine can begin. This means that a thief cannot just add 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 comes with an option for service that allows your vehicle to be driven and started without the need for a unique PIN. This is perfect for when you're planning to leave your vehicle with a mechanic or valet service. You can also turn the switch on and off at will so that nobody else is capable of starting your car even if you're there.

The Autowatch Ghost, a discreet device of the next generation is connected to the CAN data network inside your vehicle and has a PIN number you've set with our team. The PIN code is entered using buttons on the dashboard and the steering wheel to turn off your vehicle's engine. It's a weatherproof, small device that isn't identified by conventional methods, which means that there are no LED indicators and it is completely hidden away during the installation and fitting. The ghost immobiliser tracker is completely undetectable thanks to sophisticated technology that scans RF. It is also completely adjustable and can be removed and removed at any time.

No RF Scanning

An immobiliser of standard design is intended to stop your car from being driven when you don't have right key fob or code to activate it. It does this by sending an immobiliser signal to the ECU. The engine control unit recognizes the signal and shuts down any components that are compromised.

Modern thieves, however, are always trying to keep ahead of car manufacturers. They have adapted technology such as key cloning (relay attacks), hacking (relay attacks), and even key theft. The thieves are often able to enter your home and sift through your mailbox. They may also steal your car keys from inside your ignition or your purse.

The Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser that protects you from all these dangers. It connects to the CAN bus, operates silently with no radio signals and cannot be detected by RF scanners that are used by organised criminals. It's TASSA tested and endorsed by insurance companies so you can be confident that it's safe to use and won't interfere with your warranty.

As opposed to a factory-fitted immobiliser Ghost II doesn't come with an indicator of status, so it is undetectable to any diagnostic tools. It is also independent of any other alarms, immobilisers or trackers you may have installed. This makes it a very effective independent solution that is not disabled.

It's also very simple to use - just enter your pin code, and the car will begin. The immobiliser also has a service valet function that can be activated by pressing the buttons on the steering wheel or on the door panels. This is useful when you wish to leave your car with valet services or transport it to garage. You can change the pin code as often as you like to ensure that your vehicle is secure at all times.
