The Most Effective Advice You'll Ever Receive On Ghost Immobilise…

Autowatch ghost 2 immobiliser installation Immobiliser Fitter

Car thieves are becoming more sophisticated and smarter, so technology has to change to keep up. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser works with the buttons on the steering wheel and centre console as well as door panels to create an individual pin code sequence that needs to be entered before driving your car.

The device is not detectable by thieves, utilizes CAN data, and has no circuit breaks, making it a safe and simple-to-install system. RCA Cheadle is an approved Ghost immobiliser fitter and a member 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 or hacking, as well as key theft. It is integrated into the car's CAN data network. It is silently operated, so that it's undetectable and cannot be disabled through simple wire cutting.

It creates a unique, alterable PIN code sequence (up to 20 presses) using the buttons on your car's door panels and steering wheel that need to be entered prior to being able to drive. This is the same method that you use to access your mobile banking or credit card and can be altered at any time. This can be done in just seconds on your smartphone, with the app installed or, if prefer, you can use your key fob.

This is a crucial characteristic of the system that thieves will struggle to break or figure out since it doesn't require any extra electronics like the key fob. This means that there is no way a thief will know what the code is and will struggle to find an escape route to this. It is also inaccessible to diagnostics, since there are no radio signals being sent 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 point. This means it does not leave any marks or damage to your vehicle - making it a desirable option for those who value their vehicles and want to improve their security.

This is the best part of all. Since there aren't any signals being sent and there is no way for thieves to see that they have cracked your security device and to try and find ways to get around it. It's an excellent addition to the security of any car owner, particularly since criminals are increasingly targeting the latest vehicles that have advanced technology.

No Radio Signals

As we've mentioned earlier, unlike other vehicle safety devices that require a key fob, or a pin code, to disable them the ghost immobiliser works in a silent manner and doesn't emit radio signals. This is because it connects directly to the CAN data bus, meaning that thieves would have a very difficult time trying to identify its presence in your vehicle. The immobiliser won't start your car unless you enter the right PIN sequence. This is only possible by pressing a set of buttons in a particular order. This is easily managed via the application.

This makes it safer than immobilisers that employ an active system. In these systems the immobiliser can only disconnect the ECU in the event that the key is connected to an active signal. Those systems can be disabled by tapping on the receiver using tags, entering a pin number into an electronic keypad, or pressing a certain sequence of buttons on a display screen. The ghost immobiliser, however, cannot be disabled this way. If your car is towed away or stolen, you won't be able return it until the pin code is entered.

The ghost immobiliser has also been designed to be resistant to the most sophisticated forms 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 in order to override the security. The CAN immobiliser blocks this by creating an individual pin code each time you start your car. This means that any keys that are duplicated or overridden are not able to function.

Furthermore, the CAN immobiliser offers excellent protection against signal boosters, which is used by thieves to thwart the standard factory-fitted immobilisers. This means it is one of the most reliable and efficient immobilisers that we fit at Progressive Parts. It is approved by insurance companies and is also popular with customers who wish to surrender their vehicle for valet parking. It has a 'Service Mode' that permits your car to be driven for a short period without the need for a PIN code This can be handy when you have guests or valet drivers who wish to drive your vehicle.

No Circuit Cuts

In recent years, vehicle theft has increased due to organised criminals use sophisticated diagnostic tools to identify security systems. The Ghost is designed to counter this by avoiding circuit cuts, it is inaccessible to any diagnostics, and it operates completely in a silent manner on the vehicle's CAN data circuit. It connects to the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) and a unique PIN code is inputted which must be used before the engine will start. The thief won't be able to take your vehicle by simply replacing the ECU or by putting in a brand new key. They must first enter the correct PIN code.

The system also comes with an option for service valet that allows your car to start and drive without having to enter your personal PIN. This is ideal for when your vehicle is getting its services, or when you need to leave it with a valet service or mechanic. You can switch it on and off as you please so that no-one else will be able to start your vehicle when you're not there.

The Autowatch Ghost is a discrete, next generation device that connects to your vehicle's CAN data network and comes with a personal PIN code that you can set with our team. This is then entered through buttons on your dashboard and steering wheel to turn off your engine. It's a weatherproof, small device that isn't identified by traditional methods, which means there aren't any LED indicators, and it's completely hidden during installation and fitting. The Ghost is undetectable by advanced, high-end RF scanning and code grabbing technology. It's also a completely reversible gadget that can be fitted or removed at any point.

No RF Scanning

Standard immobilisers are made to prevent your car from being started in the event that you don't have the correct key fob or code. It does this by sending an immobiliser signal to the ECU. The engine control unit will then detect the signal and shuts off any compromised components.

Modern thieves are always looking to stay ahead of car makers. They have modified technology such as key cloning (relay attacks) and hacking (relay attacks) as well as key theft. They will usually break into your home and sift through your mailbox. They might also take your car keys from the ignition or in your purse.

It also functions independently of any other alarm, immobiliser or tracker that you might install, making it an effective standalone solution that isn't able to be disabled.

It's also simple to use - just type in your pin code, and the car stolen with ghost immobiliser, her explanation, will start.
