Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter
Car thieves are getting smarter and smarter so technology has evolved to keep up. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser uses your vehicle's buttons on the steering wheel and central console to create a unique pincode sequence which must be entered prior to driving your car.
The device is not detectable by thieves, uses CAN data and does not have circuit breaks, making it a safe and easy-to-install system. 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 ensure your car is safe from key cloning, hacking and key theft. It operates in a quiet manner and is integrated into your car's CAN network.
It generates a unique, variable PIN code sequence (up to 20 presses) by pressing the buttons on your car's steering wheel and door panels that must be entered before you can drive. It's the same system that you use to access your mobile banking or credit card and can be changed at any point. This can be done in a matter of seconds on your smartphone, with the app installed or, if prefer, you can use your key fob.
This is an important characteristic of the system which thieves will find difficult to break or understand since it doesn't require additional electronics like the key fob. This means that there is no way thieves will be able to identify the code and will be unable to find a way around this. It is also undetectable through diagnostics, as there are no radio signals being transmitted and it is not detected by RF scanner technology that was used to fake security systems in the past.
It is also weatherproof and can be plugged in to the wiring of your vehicle at any point. It will not harm or leave marks on your vehicle which makes it an ideal choice for those who are worried about their cars and want to improve their security.
This is the best part of all. Because there are no signals being sent, there is no way for thieves to see that they have hacked your security device and attempt to find ways to get around it. It is an excellent security feature for any car owner, especially because criminals are increasingly targeting the latest cars with their sophisticated technology.
No Radio Signals
As mentioned, unlike other vehicle security devices that require a key fob or a special pin code to deactivate the ghost immobiliser, the ghost works in a silent manner and doesn't emit any radio signals. This is because it connects directly to the CAN data bus, meaning that a thief would have a difficult time trying to detect its presence in your vehicle. The immobiliser won't be able to 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 certain order. This can be easily managed via the app.
This makes it more secure than immobilisers that utilize an active system. In these systems the immobiliser will only shut off the ECU when the key is present with an active signal. The systems can be turned off by tapping on the receiver with a tag, entering the pin number on a keypad or pressing a specific sequence of buttons on a screen. The ghost immobiliser, however, cannot be disabled this way. If your vehicle is towed away or stolen, you won't be able drive it back until the pin number is entered.
The ghost immobiliser is designed to resist the most sophisticated types of theft such as copying. This is because thieves could attempt to duplicate your key fob, or even hack into your vehicle's ECU and override its security. The CAN immobiliser blocks this by creating a unique pin code every when you start your car. This means that any keys that are duplicated or overridden won't work.
The CAN immobiliser also offers an excellent defense against signal boosters, which are commonly used by thieves to evade security systems that are fitted by the factory. This means that it is one of the most reliable and efficient immobilisers that we fit at Progressive Parts. It is accepted by insurance companies and is popular with customers who want to surrender their vehicle for valet parking. It comes with a 'Service Mode' that allows your car to be driven on a temporary basis without the need for a PIN, which can come in handy if you have guests or valet drivers that want to drive your car.
No Circuit Cuts
In recent years, car theft has become more more common, with organised thieves employing sophisticated diagnostic devices to identify fitted security systems. The Ghost is specifically designed to serve this for this purpose. It is not detectable by any diagnostics and works in a silent manner with the vehicle's CAN data circuit. It connects to the vehicle's ECU and a unique pin code is entered. This is required to start the engine. The thief won't be able to take your car by simply replacing the ECU or putting in a new key. They must first enter the correct PIN code.
The system also comes with a service valet mode that will allow your vehicle to start and drive without having to enter your unique PIN. This is ideal for situations where you want to leave your vehicle with an auto mechanic or valet service. You can also turn it off and on as you like so that nobody else can start your vehicle, even if you're not there.
