Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter

Car thieves are becoming more sophisticated and smarter, so technology has had to evolve to keep up. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser works with your vehicle's buttons on the steering wheel as well as the centre console and door panels to generate an individual pin code sequence which must be entered prior to driving your car.

The device is not detectable by thieves, uses CAN data and has no circuit breakers, making it a secure and easy-to-install system. RCA Cheadle are an approved fitter of Ghost immobilisers as well as a 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 and theft, as well as hacking. It integrates into the vehicle's CAN data networks and operates silently so that it's undetectable and cannot be harmed through simple wire cutting.

The buttons on the steering wheel and on the door panels of your vehicle generate an unique, reusable PIN code (up to 20 presses) which must be entered prior to driving. It is the same system you use to access mobile banking or your credit card. You can change it at anytime. This can be done in just minutes from your smartphone using the app installed or, if you prefer, to use your key fob.

This is a crucial characteristic of the system that thieves will find difficult to crack or decipher because it doesn't require any additional electronic devices like the key fob. As such, it is impossible that thieves will know what the code is and will struggle to find an escape route to this. It's also unrecognizable by tests since there aren't any radio signals being transmitted and cannot be detected by RF scanning technology that has been used to fool security systems in recent years.

It's also weatherproof and fits into an extremely small waterproof device that can be connected into the vehicle's wiring harness at any time in your vehicle. It does not cause any damage or marks to your car - making it a great choice for those who are concerned about their automobiles and want to improve their security.

This is the most important aspect of all. Because there are no signals being sent, there is no way for thieves to know that they have cracked your security device and attempt to find ways of bypassing it. It is an excellent addition to the security of any car owner, particularly since criminals are focusing their attention on the latest cars with their sophisticated technology.

No Radio Signals

As mentioned above in contrast to other safety devices that require a key fob, or pin code, to deactivate them the ghost immobiliser works in a silent manner and doesn't emit radio signals. This is because it connects directly to the CAN data bus, which means that thieves will be unable to trying to detect its presence in your vehicle. The immobiliser will not start your car unless you enter the correct PIN sequence. This is only possible by pressing a series of buttons in a specific order. This is easily managed through the application.

This makes it how much is a ghost immobiliser more secure than immobilisers which employ a passive system. In these systems the immobiliser will only disconnect the ECU if the key is present with an active signal. These systems can be disabled with a tag or keypad, by entering a pin code into the keypad or by pressing a particular sequence of buttons. However the ghost immobiliser can't be disabled in this way in the event that you have your car towed or stolen, you will not be capable of driving it back until you enter the correct pin code.

The ghost immobiliser has also been designed to be resistant to the most sophisticated theft techniques, like cloning. This is because thieves could try to duplicate your key fob, or even hack your vehicle's ECU in order to override the security. However, the CAN immobiliser is specifically designed to block this by creating an individual pin code every time you want to start your car, which means that it won't be possible to start your vehicle using any key that is cloned or overriding system.

Furthermore, the CAN immobiliser offers excellent protection against signal boost and is often used by thieves to overcome standard factory-fitted immobilisers. It is therefore one of the most effective and reliable immobilisers we install at Progressive Parts. It is approved by insurance companies and is also popular with customers who wish to hand over their car for valet parking. It comes with a "Service Mode" that lets you drive your car for a short period of time without requiring PIN codes. This is useful if guests or valet drivers are able 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 counter this by not making circuit cuts, it is inaccessible to 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 entered which has to be entered before the engine can start. This means that a thief cannot simply change a key or replace the ECU to steal your vehicle, they will have to enter the correct pin code before they can start.

The system has an option for service that allows your vehicle to be started and driven without needing your unique PIN. This is ideal for when your vehicle is receiving its services, or when you're required to leave the vehicle with a valet business or mechanic.

No RF Scanning

Standard immobilisers are made to stop your vehicle from starting if you do not have the proper key fob or code. It does this by sending a signal to the ECU, which is then recognized by the engine control unit and closes down any component in the system that are compromised.

Modern thieves however are always trying to stay one step ahead of car manufacturers and have become more adept at using techniques like key cloning hacking (relay attacks) and even key theft itself.
