Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter

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

The device is not detectable by thieves, makes use of CAN data, and has no circuit breaks, making it a secure and easy-to-install system. RCA Cheadle are an approved fitter of Ghost immobilisers and members of TASSA.

No key fobs or LED indicators.

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN immobiliser to protect your vehicle against key-cloning and theft, as well as hacking. It operates silently and integrated into your car's CAN network.

It generates a unique changeable PIN code sequence (up to 20 presses) by pressing the buttons on your car's door and steering wheel which must be entered before you are able to drive. This is 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 in a matter of seconds using your smartphone and the application you downloaded. If you prefer using your keyfob.

This is a crucial aspect of the system which thieves will find it difficult to crack or decipher since it doesn't require extra electronics such as the key fob. Therefore, there is no way the thief would be able to identify the code and will be unable to find ways to get around this. It is also undetectable through diagnostics, since there are no radio signals being transmitted and it cannot be detected by RF scanner technology that was used to spoof security systems in the past.

It's also weatherproof and fits inside a small waterproof device that can be connected into the vehicle's wiring harness at any point in your vehicle. It doesn't cause any damage or marks to your vehicle, making it an attractive option for those who are concerned about their vehicles and want to improve their security.

This is the greatest benefit of all. Since there aren't any signals being sent and there is no way for thieves to know that they have breached your security device, and attempt to find ways to bypass it. It's a great security feature for any car owner, particularly since criminals are focusing their attention on the latest vehicles with their advanced technology.

No Radio Signals

As mentioned, unlike other vehicle security devices that require an ID card or special pin code to deactivate the ghost immobiliser, it operates silently and does not emit any radio signals. It connects 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 won't start your car until you enter the right PIN sequence. This is only possible by pressing a sequence of buttons in a particular order. This is easily managed through the application.

This makes it a lot more secure than other immobilisers which use a passive system, where the immobiliser is only able to disconnect the ECU from power when a key is present and it has an active signal on the board. These systems can be disabled by tapping on the receiver using a tag, typing in a pin number into a keypad or pressing a specific sequence of buttons on a display screen. The ghost immobiliser, however, is not able to be disabled this way. If your vehicle is towed away or stolen and you are unable to drive it back until the pin number is entered.

The ghost immobiliser is designed to be immune to the most sophisticated forms of theft such as cloning. 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 was specifically designed to block this, as it creates an individual pin code every time you want to start your car, which means that it will not be possible to start your vehicle using a cloned key or overriding system.

The CAN immobiliser provides an excellent defense against signal boosters, which are used by thieves to evade security systems that are fitted by the factory. It is, therefore, one of the most effective and reliable immobilisers we fit at Progressive Parts. It is approved by insurance companies and is popular with customers who want to surrender their vehicle for valet parking. It comes with the feature of "Service Mode" that allows you to drive your vehicle for a period of time without requiring an PIN code. This is useful if your guests or valet drivers are able to drive your vehicle.

No Circuit Cuts

In recent years, car theft has become increasingly frequent, with organized thieves using sophisticated diagnostics devices to detect fitted security systems. The Ghost is designed to fight this by avoiding circuit cuts, it is completely unnoticeable by any diagnostics and operates quietly on the vehicles CAN data circuit. It connects to the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) and a unique PIN code is inputted which must be used before the engine will start. This means that a thief cannot simply change a key or replace the ECU in order to steal your vehicle. They'll need to enter the correct pin code before they can start.

The system comes with a service mode that allows your vehicle to be started and driven without needing your unique PIN. This is ideal for when your vehicle is receiving its maintenance, or if you're required to leave it with a valet company or mechanic.
