Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter

The technology has improved to keep pace with the growing sophistication of car thieves. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser uses your vehicle's buttons on the steering wheel and on the centre console to generate an individual pincode sequence which must be entered prior to driving your car.

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

No Key Fobs or LED Indicators

Autowatch Ghost is a CAN-based immobiliser that protects your vehicle from key-cloning and theft. It is integrated into your vehicle's CAN data networks and operates in a quiet manner, ensuring that it's undetectable and cannot be disarmed through simple wire cutting.

It generates a unique, variable PIN code sequence (up to 20 presses) using the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheel and door panels that must be entered before you can drive. It is the same system that you use to access mobile banking or your credit card. You can alter it at any time. You can do this within a matter of minutes using your smartphone and the application you downloaded. If you prefer to use your keyfob.

This is an important characteristic of the system that thieves will be unable to crack or work out since it doesn't require any extra electronics like the key fob. As such, there is no way that thieves will know the code and will have a difficult time finding a way around this. It's also unrecognizable by diagnostics as there are no radio signals being broadcast and cannot be detected by RF scanning technology that has been used to deceive security systems in recent years.

It's also weatherproof and fits 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 will not harm or leave marks on your vehicle, making it a great option for those who are worried about their vehicles and want to improve their security.

The most appealing aspect is that there aren't any signals sent. This means that thieves cannot see whether they have hacked the security device or try to evade it. It's a great accessory to any car's security, particularly as latest cars are increasingly being targeted by criminals who can profit from the new technology that is used in modern vehicles that are becoming more sophisticated.

No Radio Signals

As mentioned above, unlike other vehicle safety devices that require a key fob or pin code to turn them off The ghost immobiliser operates without a sound and doesn't emit radio signals. This is because it connects directly to the CAN data bus, which means that a thief would have a very difficult time trying to locate its presence in your vehicle. The immobiliser won't start your vehicle unless you enter the correct PIN sequence which is only possible via a series of buttons that are pressed in a certain order - and this is easily managed by the application.

This makes it more secure than other immobilisers that employ a passive system, where the immobiliser will only shut off the ECU from power when the key is present and has an active signal on the board. The systems can be disabled with a tag or keypad and by entering a pin code into the keypad or by pressing a specific sequence of buttons. However, the ghost immobiliser cannot be disabled by this method and, therefore, if you've had 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 has been made to be resistant to the most sophisticated theft methods, such as copying. This is because thieves could attempt to duplicate your key fob, or even hack into your vehicle's ECU and bypass its security. The CAN immobiliser blocks this by creating an individual pin code each when you start your car. This means that any duplicate keys or systems for overriding will not work.

The CAN immobiliser also provides excellent protection against signal boosters, which are commonly used by thieves to circumvent standard security systems that are fitted by the factory. It is, therefore, one of the most effective and reliable immobilisers we install at Progressive Parts. This is the reason it is insurance-approved, and is also a favourite with customers who need to hand over their car for valet parking or a service. It has a 'Service Mode' that allows your vehicle to be driven for a short period without needing the PIN code that can come in handy if you have guests or valet drivers who wish to drive your car.

No Circuit Cuts

Car theft in recent years has become more and more common, with organised thieves employing 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 works quietly on the vehicles CAN data circuit. It is connected to the vehicle's ECU and a unique pin code is entered. This code is used to start the engine. This means that a burglar cannot just add a new key or replace the ECU in order to steal your vehicle. They'll have to enter the correct pin code before they can start.

The system also has the option of a service valet mode which allows your car to start and drive without needing your unique PIN. This is great for when your vehicle is receiving its service, or if you need to leave it with a valet company or mechanic. You can also turn the switch on and off at any time, to ensure that nobody else is in a position to start your vehicle even if you're there.

It is entered using buttons on your steering wheel and dashboard to shut off your engine. It's a small weatherproof device that can't be detected by traditional methods. There are no LED indicators, and it's completely concealed during installation and fitting. The Ghost is undetectable with the help of sophisticated technology that scans RF. It is also completely reversible and can be installed and removed at anytime.

No RF Scanning

A standard immobiliser is designed to prevent your vehicle from being driven when you don't have appropriate key fob or code to activate it. It does this by sending an immobiliser signal to the ECU. The engine control unit then recognises the signal and shuts down any components that are compromised.

Modern thieves however are always trying to stay one step ahead of automakers and have adapted to using techniques like key cloning hacking (relay attacks) and even key theft itself. These thieves will often resort to breaking and entering your home and sifting through your letterbox, taking car keys from your handbag or even from the ignition.

The Ghost is the world's first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that protects your vehicle from all these threats. It operates in complete silence and does not transmit radio signals and is not able to be detected by RF scanners. It's been TASSA-tested and endorsed by insurance companies So you can be assured that it's safe to use and won't affect your warranty.

Ghost II is not detectable by diagnostic tools, unlike an immobiliser that is installed at the factory. It also works independently from any other immobiliser, alarm or tracker you may have installed, making it an effective, standalone solution that isn't able to be disabled.

It's also simple to use - just type in your pin code and the car will start. The immobiliser will also have a service valet mode which can be activated by pressing buttons on your steering wheel or door panels. This can be helpful when you need to drive your vehicle to the garage, or when you leave it with a valet parking company. You can also alter the pin code however many times you want, to ensure that your car is always secure.
