Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter
Car thieves are getting more sophisticated and smarter, so technology has evolved to keep up. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser uses your vehicles existing buttons located on the steering wheel and on the centre console to generate a unique pincode sequence which must be entered prior to driving your car.
The device is undetectable to thieves, it uses CAN data and does not have circuit breaks, making it extremely secure and easy to install system. RCA Cheadle is an approved Ghost immobiliser fitter and a member of TASSA.
No Key Fobs or LED Signs
Autowatch Ghost is a CAN-based immobiliser that protects your vehicle from key-cloning and theft. It integrates into the car's CAN data network. It is silently operated, so that it is undetectable and cannot be disarmed by 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 are able to drive. This is the same method that you use to access your mobile banking or credit card and can be changed at any point. This can be completed in just a few seconds on your smartphone, with the app downloaded or, if prefer, to use your key fob.
This is an important characteristic of the system which thieves will find it difficult to crack or figure out since it doesn't require extra electronics such as the key fob. This means that there is no way the thief would be able to identify the code and will struggle to find a way around this. It is also undetectable through diagnostics, as no radio signals are transmitted and it cannot be detected by RF scanner technology that was used to spoof security systems in the past.
It is also completely weatherproof and can be plugged into a small, waterproof device that is plugged into the vehicle's wiring harness at any point in your vehicle. It does not cause any damage or marks to your vehicle, making it an attractive option for those who value their automobiles and want to improve their security.
This is the most important aspect of all. Since there aren't any signals sent, there is no way for thieves to determine that they have cracked your security device and to seek ways of bypassing it. It's a great addition to the security of any car owner, especially since criminals are increasingly targeting the latest vehicles with their advanced technology.
No Radio Signals
As previously mentioned, 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. It is directly connected to the CAN bus, therefore thieves is unable to identifying its presence. The immobiliser won't be able to start your vehicle unless you enter the correct PIN sequence which can only be accomplished via a series of buttons that are pressed in a certain order - and this is easily managed by the application.
This makes it a lot more secure than other immobilisers that use a passive system, where the immobiliser is only able to disconnect the ECU from power only if a key is present and it has an active signal on board. The systems can be disabled by using a tag or a 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 in this way and, therefore, if you've had your car tow-ed or stolen, you will not be capable of driving it back until you enter the correct pin code.
The ghost immobiliser is also designed to be resistant to the most sophisticated types of theft, such as copying. This is due to the fact that thieves might try to duplicate your key fob, or even hack your vehicle's ECU to bypass the security. The CAN immobiliser prevents this by creating an unique pin code each when you start your vehicle. This means that any duplicate keys or systems for overriding won't work.
The CAN immobiliser provides excellent protection against signal boosters, which are often used by thieves to circumvent standard factory-fitted security systems. It is, therefore, one of the most effective and reliable immobilisers we install at Progressive Parts. This is why it is insurance-approved, and is also a favorite among customers who have to hand over their car to valet parking or a service. It has a "Service Mode" that lets you drive your vehicle temporarily without the need for PIN codes. This is useful if your guests or valet drivers want to drive your vehicle.
No Circuit Cuts
In recent years, vehicle theft has increased due to organised criminals use sophisticated diagnostic tools to detect security systems. The Ghost is specifically designed specifically for this for this purpose. It cannot be detected by any diagnostics and works in a silent manner with the CAN data circuit of the vehicle. It connects to the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) and a unique pin code is entered that must be entered before the engine can begin. The thief won't be able to steal your car by simply replacing the ECU or by putting in a brand new key. They must first enter the correct PIN code.
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 perfect for when you're planning to leave your vehicle with an auto mechanic or valet service. You can also turn it on and off as you please so that no-one else will be able to start your vehicle even when you're not there.

No RF Scanning
Standard immobilisers are made to stop your vehicle from starting when you do not have the proper 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 compromised components.
