Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter
Car thieves are becoming more sophisticated and smarter, therefore technology has had to evolve to keep up. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser uses your car's buttons that are located on the steering wheel and on the centre console to create an individual pincode sequence that needs to be entered prior to driving your vehicle.
The device is inaccessible to thieves, it uses CAN data and does not have circuit cuts so is extremely secure and easy to fit system. RCA Cheadle is an approved Ghost immobiliser fitter and a member of TASSA.
No Key Fobs or LED Indicators
Autowatch Ghost is an immobiliser using CAN that protects your vehicle against key-cloning and theft. It operates silently and is incorporated into your car's CAN network.
It creates a unique, changeable PIN code sequence (up to 20 presses) using the buttons on your car's door 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 altered at any time. It can be done in a matter of seconds using your smartphone and the application you downloaded. Or, if you prefer using your keyfob.
This is a key aspect of the system that thieves will find difficult to break or get rid of since it doesn't require any additional electronic devices like the key fob. The thief is unable to decipher the code and will have a difficult finding a way to get around it. It is also undetectable by tests since there aren't any radio signals being transmitted and it isn't detected by RF scanning technology that has been used to deceive existing security systems in recent years.
It is also weatherproof and can be plugged in to the vehicle's wiring at any point. This means it does not leave any marks or damage to your car - making it a great choice for those who value their automobiles and want to improve their security.
The best part is that there are no signals being sent. This means that thieves can't tell whether they have hacked the security device or attempt to evade it. It's an excellent addition to the security of any car owner, particularly because criminals are increasingly targeting the latest vehicles with their sophisticated technology.
No Radio Signals
As mentioned, unlike other vehicle security devices which require the use of a key fob or special pin code to turn off, the ghost immobiliser works silently and does not emit any radio signals. It is connected directly to the CAN bus, so a thief is unable to finding its presence. The immobiliser will not start your car until you enter the correct PIN sequence. This can only be done by pressing a sequence of buttons in a particular sequence. It is easy to manage through the application.
This makes it much safer than immobilisers that utilize an active system. In these systems, the immobiliser will only shut off the ECU if the key is connected to an active signal. These systems can be disabled by using a tag or a keypad, by entering a pin number into the keypad, or pressing a particular sequence of buttons. The ghost immobiliser cannot be disabled this way. If your vehicle is stolen or tow-away and you are unable to drive it back until the pin code has been entered.
The ghost immobiliser has also been designed to be resistant to the most sophisticated theft techniques, like copying. This is because thieves may attempt to duplicate your key fob or even hack your vehicle's ECU to bypass the security. However the CAN immobiliser has been designed to prevent this from happening, since it generates an individual pin code each time you want to start your car, which means that it will not be possible to start your vehicle using a cloned key or overriding system.
Additionally, the CAN immobiliser is a great protection against signal boost and is often used by thieves to defeat the factory-fitted immobilisers. This means it is one of the most reliable and effective immobilisers we install at Progressive Parts. This is why it is insurance-approved, and is also a favorite among customers who need to surrender their vehicle for valet parking or another service. It comes with a "Service Mode" that lets you drive your car for a short period of time without requiring a PIN code. This is helpful if guests or valet drivers wish to drive your car.
No Circuit Cuts
In recent years, car theft has increased as organised thieves use sophisticated diagnostics tools to detect security systems. The Ghost is designed specifically for this reason. It is not detectable by any diagnostics, and it works silently with the CAN data circuit in the vehicle. It connects to the vehicle's ECU and a unique pin code is entered. This is required to start the engine. The thief will not 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 also has an option for service valet that allows your vehicle to start and drive without needing your personal PIN. This is ideal when your vehicle is receiving its service, or if you have to leave it with a valet company or mechanic. You can switch it on and off as you want to ensure that nobody else will be able start your vehicle even when you're not there.
