The technology has improved to keep pace with the increasing sophistication of car thieves. Autowatch ghost immobiliser car immobiliser uses your car's buttons that are located on the steering wheel and centre console to create an individual pincode sequence which must be entered prior to driving your vehicle.
The device is undetectable to thieves, it utilizes CAN data and doesn't have circuit cuts, which makes it a very safe, simple to install device. RCA Cheadle are an approved fitter of Ghost immobilisers and a member of TASSA.
No key fobs or LED indicators
The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN immobiliser that can protect your vehicle against key-cloning and theft, as well as hacking. It operates in a quiet manner and is incorporated into your car's CAN network.
It generates a unique, changeable PIN code sequence (up to 20 presses) by pressing the buttons on your car's door panels and steering wheel that must be entered before you can drive. It's the same system that you use to access your credit card or mobile banking and can be changed at any time. It can be done in seconds using your smartphone and the application you downloaded. Or, if you prefer, you can use your keyfob.
This is a key aspect of the system which thieves will find difficult to crack or decipher because it doesn't require extra electronics such as the key fob. The thief cannot guess the code and will have a tough finding a way to overcome it. It what is a ghost immobiliser also unrecognizable by diagnostics, since there are no radio signals being transmitted and it cannot be detected by RF scanner technology that was used to fake security systems in the past.
It is also weatherproof and can be connected to the vehicle's wiring at any time. It won't damage or leave marks on your vehicle which makes it a great option for those who are worried about their cars and want to increase their security.
The most appealing aspect is that there aren't signals being sent. This means that thieves cannot see whether they have broken the security device or try to get around it. It is an excellent addition to the security of any car owner, but especially since criminals are focusing their attention on the latest vehicles with their sophisticated technology.
No Radio Signals
As previously mentioned as opposed to other vehicle security devices that require a key fob or pin code, to turn them off, the ghost immobiliser operates in a silent manner and doesn't emit radio signals. It is directly connected to the CAN bus, therefore thieves will have a hard time finding its presence. The immobiliser won't start your car unless you enter the correct PIN sequence. This can only be done by pressing a set of buttons in a certain order. This can be easily controlled by using the app.
This makes it more secure than immobilisers which use an active system. In these systems the immobiliser will only shut off the ECU when the key is paired with an active signal. The systems can be turned off by pressing the receiver with a tag, entering the pin number on an electronic keypad, or pressing a certain sequence of buttons on a screen. The Ghost immobiliser tracker immobiliser, however, is not able to be disabled this way. If your vehicle is towed away or stolen and you are unable to drive it back until the pin number is entered.
The ghost immobiliser is also designed to be immune to the most sophisticated forms of theft like copying. This is due to the fact that thieves might 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 from happening, since it generates a unique pin code for each time you want to start your car. This means that it won't be possible to start your vehicle with any cloned key or overriding system.
The CAN immobiliser also offers great protection against signal boosters, which are used by thieves to evade factory-fitted security systems. It is, therefore, one of the most effective and reliable immobilisers we fit at Progressive Parts. This is why it's insurance-approved and is also a favourite with customers who need to surrender their vehicle to valet parking or a service. It has a 'Service Mode' that allows your car to be driven temporarily without the need for a PIN This can be handy if you have guests or valet drivers who wish to drive your car.
No Circuit Cuts
The theft of cars in recent years has become increasingly common with organised thieves using sophisticated diagnostics tools to detect fitted security systems. The Ghost is designed specifically for this reason. It cannot be detected by any diagnostics and operates in complete silence with the vehicle's CAN data circuit. It is connected to the vehicle's ECU and an individual pin code is entered. This must be used to start the engine. This means that thieves cannot just add a new key or replace the ECU in order to take your vehicle, they will need to enter the correct pin code first.
The system also has the option of a service valet mode which allows your vehicle to start and drive without having to enter your personal PIN. This is ideal for situations where you need to leave your vehicle with valet or mechanic service. You can also switch it on and off at will so that nobody else will be in a position to start your vehicle, even when you're not there.

No RF Scanning
Standard immobilisers are designed to prevent your car from being started when you do not have the correct key fob or the right code. It does this by sending an immobiliser signal to the ECU. The engine control unit will then detect the signal and shuts down any compromised components.
Modern thieves however are always trying to stay one step ahead of automobile manufacturers and have been able to use technology like key cloning, hacking (relay attacks) and even key theft itself. They will usually break into your home and fish through your letterbox. They may also steal your car keys from inside your ignition or from your purse.

It's easy to use, too - just enter your pin code and the car will start. The immobiliser also has a service valet function that can be activated by pressing the buttons on the steering wheel or door panels. This is useful when you need to leave your car with valet service or go to a garage. You can change the pin code as many times as you wish, too, so your car is secure at all times.
