Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitting Birmingham Immobiliser Fitter

Car thieves are becoming more sophisticated and smarter, therefore technology has had to evolve to keep up. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser uses your car's buttons that are located on the steering wheel and centre console to create an individual pincode sequence which must 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 safe and simple-to-install system. RCA Cheadle is an approved Ghost immobiliser fitter and a member of TASSA.

No key fobs or LED indicators

Autowatch Ghost is an immobiliser using CAN that protects your vehicle against key-cloning and theft. It is integrated into your vehicle's CAN data networks and operates in a quiet manner, ensuring that it is not detected and cannot be disabled by simple wire cutting.

The buttons on the steering wheel and 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 method 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. If you prefer using 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 is unable to decipher the code and will have a hard finding a way get around it. It is also unrecognizable by 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 fits into a small, waterproof device that can be plugged into the vehicle's wiring harness at any point in your vehicle. It will not harm or leave marks on your vehicle and is an excellent choice for those who are worried about their vehicles and want to increase their security.

This is the greatest benefit of all - because there aren't any signals being sent, there is no way for thieves to determine that they have cracked your security device and try and find ways of bypassing it. It's an excellent addition to the security of any car owner, but especially because criminals are increasingly targeting the latest vehicles that have advanced technology.

No Radio Signals

Like the previous example, unlike vehicle security devices that require a key fob or a special pin code to turn off the ghost immobiliser, it operates in a silent manner and doesn't emit any radio signals. This is due to it connecting directly to the CAN data bus, meaning that thieves will have a very difficult time trying to locate its presence in your vehicle. The immobiliser won't start your vehicle until you enter the correct PIN sequence, which can only be done via a series of buttons that are pressed in a particular order. This can be easily controlled via the app.

This makes it much more secure than immobilisers which employ an active system. In these systems the immobiliser can only shut off the ECU in the event that the key is connected to an active signal. Those systems can be disabled by pressing the receiver using a tag, typing in a pin number into a keypad or pressing a specific sequence of buttons on a screen. The ghost immobiliser, however, can't be disabled in this manner. If your car is towed away or stolen it will not be able to drive it back until the pin code is entered.

The ghost immobiliser has also been designed to be resistant to the most sophisticated theft techniques, such as cloning. This is due to the fact that thieves might try to duplicate your key fob, or even hack your vehicle's ECU in order to override the security. The CAN immobiliser prevents this by generating an unique pin code each when you start your vehicle. This means that keys that are duplicated or overridden won't work.

The CAN immobiliser also provides excellent protection against signal boosters, which are often used by thieves to circumvent standard factory-fitted security systems. This makes it one of the most reliable and effective immobilisers that we fit at Progressive Parts. It is accepted by insurance companies and is also popular with customers who want to surrender their vehicle to valet parking. It comes with an "Service Mode" that allows you to drive your vehicle temporarily without requiring an PIN code. This is helpful when your guests or valet drivers want to drive your vehicle.

No Circuit Cuts

In recent years, car theft has increased due to organised criminals employ sophisticated diagnostic tools to detect security systems. The Ghost is designed to counter this by not using circuit cuts, it is completely unnoticeable by any diagnostics and works silently 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 will start. The thief won't be able to steal your vehicle by simply replacing the ECU or adding a new key. They must first enter the correct PIN code.

The system also features the option of a service valet mode which allows your vehicle to start and drive without having to enter your personal PIN. This is ideal when your vehicle is getting its services, or when you have to leave it with a valet service or mechanic. You can also turn it off and on at any time, to ensure that nobody else is capable of starting your car even if you're there.

No RF Scanning

A standard immobiliser is designed to prevent your vehicle from being driven in the event that you don't have the proper key fob or code to start it. It does this by sending an alarm to the ECU, which is then acknowledged by the engine control unit and shuts down any components in the system that are compromised.

Modern thieves however are always trying to stay one step ahead of automobile manufacturers and have adapted to using technologies like key cloning, hacking (relay attacks) and even key theft itself.
