Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter

Car thieves are becoming more sophisticated and smarter, so technology has had to evolve to keep up. 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 is undetectable to thieves, it uses CAN data and doesn't have circuit cuts, which makes it extremely secure and simple to install device. RCA Cheadle is an approved Ghost immobiliser installer and member 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 is integrated into the car's CAN data network. It is silently operated, so that it is undetectable and cannot be disarmed through simple wire cutting.

It generates a unique changeable PIN code sequence (up to 20 presses) by pressing the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheel and door panels that must be entered before you can drive. This is the same method that you use to access your credit card or mobile banking and can be altered at any time. It can be done in seconds using your smartphone and the app you downloaded. Or, if you prefer to use your keyfob.

This is a key aspect of the system that thieves will find difficult to crack or decipher since it doesn't require any additional electronic devices like the key fob. As such, it is impossible that thieves will know the code and will struggle to find an escape route to this. It is also undetectable by diagnostics since there aren't radio signals being sent out and cannot be detected by RF scanning technology that has been used to spoof existing security systems in recent years.

It is also weatherproof and can be connected to the wiring of your vehicle at any point. It will not harm or leave marks on your vehicle, making it a great option for those who are worried about their cars and wish to improve their security.

The best part is that there aren't signals being sent. This means that thieves cannot see whether they have hacked the security device or try to evade it. It's an excellent option to protect any car owner, especially because criminals are increasingly targeting the latest cars with their sophisticated technology.

No Radio Signals

As we've mentioned earlier as opposed to other vehicle security devices that require a key fob or a pin code, to disable them The ghost immobiliser operates without a sound and doesn't emit radio signals. This is due to it connecting directly to the CAN data bus. This means that thieves would have a difficult time trying to identify its presence in your vehicle. The immobiliser won't be able to start your vehicle unless you enter the correct PIN sequence, which can only be done through a number of buttons that are pressed in a particular order - and this is easily controlled via the application.

This makes it more secure than immobilisers that employ a passive system. In these systems the immobiliser will only shut off the ECU when the key is present with an active signal. These systems can be disabled by using a tag or a keypad and by entering a pin code on the keypad, or pressing a specific sequence of buttons. However, the ghost immobiliser cannot be disabled by this method, so if you have your vehicle towed or stolen, you'll not be capable of driving it back until you enter the correct pin code.

The ghost immobiliser has also been made to be resistant to the most sophisticated theft techniques, like cloning. This is because thieves can attempt to duplicate your key fob, or even hack into your vehicle's ECU and override its security. The CAN immobiliser prevents this by generating an unique pin code each time you start your car. This means that keys that are duplicated or overridden will not work.

The CAN immobiliser also provides excellent protection against signal boosters, which are often used by thieves to circumvent standard security systems that are fitted by the factory. This makes it one of the most effective and reliable immobilisers we install at Progressive Parts. It is accepted by insurance companies and is also well-liked by customers who want to surrender their vehicle for valet parking. It comes with an "Service Mode" that allows you to drive your car for a short period of time without the need for an PIN code. This is useful if your guests or valet drivers want to drive your vehicle.

No Circuit Cuts

In recent years, car theft has increased as organised criminals use sophisticated diagnostic tools to detect security systems. The Ghost is designed for this purpose. It is not detectable by any diagnostic tools, and it works silently with the vehicle's CAN data circuit. It connects with the vehicle's ECU and an individual pin code is entered. This is required to start the engine. The thief won't be able to steal your vehicle simply by replacing the ECU or by putting in a brand new key. They must first enter the correct PIN code.

The system has a service mode that allows your vehicle to be started and driven without the need for a unique PIN. This is great for the time that your vehicle needs its service, or if you're required to leave the vehicle with a valet business or mechanic. You can also switch it on and off at any time so that nobody else will be capable of starting your car even if you're not there.

The Autowatch Ghost is a discrete next-generation device that connects to the CAN data network of your vehicle and comes with a personal PIN code that you can set with our team. The PIN code is entered via buttons on the dashboard and the steering wheel to shut off the engine of your vehicle. It's a tiny weatherproof device that is unable to be detected using traditional methods. There are no LED indicators, and it's completely concealed when it's fitted and installed. The Ghost is undetectable by modern, sophisticated RF scanning and code grabbing technology. It's also a completely reversible device that can be fitted or removed at any time.

No RF Scanning

Standard immobilisers are designed to prevent your vehicle from starting if you do not have the correct key fob or code. It does this by sending an immobiliser signal to the ECU. The engine control unit recognizes the signal and shuts off any component that is compromised.

Modern thieves are always looking to stay ahead of car manufacturers. They have developed new technology such as key cloning (relay attacks) hacking (relay attacks) and even key theft. The thieves are often resorted to breaking and entering your home, and then scouring your letterbox, stealing the car keys from your handbag or even from your ignition.

The Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser in the world that guards you against all of these dangers. It connects to the CAN bus, and operates quietly with no radio signals and isn't detected by RF scanners used by organised thieves. It's TASSA verified and approved by insurance companies, so you can rest assured that it's safe to use and won't interfere with your warranty.

Unlike 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 immobilisers, alarms or trackers that you may have installed. This makes it a very effective standalone solution that can't be removed.

It's easy to use, too - just enter your pin code and your car will start. The immobiliser has a service valet function that is activated by using the buttons on the steering wheel or on the door panels. This is helpful when you need to leave your car for valet service or transport it to a garage. You can change the pin code as many times as you want to ensure that your vehicle is always secure.
