Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter
Car thieves are becoming more sophisticated and smarter, so technology has evolved to keep up. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser uses your vehicle's buttons on the steering wheel and centre console to create a unique pincode sequence that must be entered prior to driving your car.
The device is inaccessible to thieves, as it operates on CAN data and does not have circuit cuts so is an extremely secure, simple to install device. RCA Cheadle are an approved installer of Ghost immobilisers and members of TASSA.
No Key Fobs or LED Indicators
The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN immobiliser that can ensure your car is safe from key cloning and theft, as well as hacking. It is integrated into the vehicle's CAN data networks and is silently operated, so that it's undetectable and cannot be harmed by simple wire cutting.
The buttons on the steering wheel and the door panels of your vehicle generate an individual, reusable PIN code (up to 20 presses) which must be entered prior to driving. This is the same method that you use to access your credit card or mobile banking and can be changed at any point. This can be done in a matter of minutes from your smartphone using the app installed, or if you prefer you could use your key fob.
This is a crucial aspect of the system that thieves will find difficult to break or get rid of because it doesn't require any additional electronics, like the key fob. This means that it is impossible that the thief would know what the code is and will be unable to find ways to get around this. It is also unrecognizable by diagnostics, as there are no radio signals being transmitted and it cannot be detected by RF scanners that were used to fake security systems in the past.
It's also weatherproof and fits inside a small, waterproof device that can be plugged into the wiring harness of your vehicle at any time in your vehicle. This means it does not leave any marks or damage to your car - making it a desirable option for people who care about their vehicles and want to improve their security.
This is the best part of all. Because there are no signals being sent that would make it impossible for thieves to determine that they have cracked your security device and to attempt to find ways to bypass it. It's an excellent option to protect any car owner, especially since criminals are increasingly targeting the latest vehicles that have sophisticated technology.
No Radio Signals
As mentioned above in contrast to other safety devices that require a key fob, or a pin code, to deactivate them the ghost immobiliser works 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 start your car unless you enter the correct PIN sequence. This is only possible by pressing a series of buttons in a particular order. This can be easily controlled via the app.
This makes it a lot more secure than other immobilisers that employ a passive system, where the immobiliser only disconnects the ECU from power only if there is a key present and there is an active signal on the board. Those systems can be disabled by pressing the receiver with a tag, typing in a pin number into a keypad or pressing a certain sequence of buttons on a screen. The ghost immobiliser can't be disabled in this manner. If your vehicle is towed away or stolen, you won't be able return it until the pin code has been entered.
The ghost immobiliser is designed to be resistant to the most sophisticated forms of theft such as copying. This is because thieves can attempt to duplicate your key fob or even hack into your vehicle's ECU and bypass its security. However the CAN immobiliser has been designed to stop this, as it creates an individual pin code each time you want to start your car, meaning that it will not be possible to start your car using a cloned key or overriding system.
The CAN immobiliser provides great protection against signal boosters, which are used by thieves to circumvent standard security systems that are fitted by the factory. This means that it is one of the most reliable and efficient immobilisers that we install at Progressive Parts. This is why it is insurance-approved and is also a popular choice for customers who have to give their car for valet parking or a service. It also has a "Service Mode' that allows your vehicle to be driven temporarily without the need for a PIN This can be handy if you have guests or valet drivers that want to drive your car.
No Circuit Cuts
In recent years, car theft has increased, as organized criminals employ sophisticated diagnostic tools to detect security systems. The Ghost is designed specifically for this reason. It is not detectable by any diagnostic tools 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 must be used to start the engine. This means that thieves can't simply insert a new key or replace the ECU in order to take your vehicle. They'll have to enter the correct pin code prior to entering.
The system also features an option for service valet that allows your car to start and drive without having to enter your unique PIN. This is perfect for when you need to leave your vehicle with valet or mechanic service. You can also switch it on and off at any time to ensure that nobody else is capable of starting your car, even when you're not there.

No RF Scanning
An immobiliser of standard design is intended to prevent your vehicle from being driven if you don't have the right key fob or code to turn it on. It does this by sending an immobiliser signal to the ECU. ghost immobilisers recognises the signal and shuts down any compromised components.
