Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter
Car thieves are becoming 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 central console to generate an unique pincode sequence which must be entered prior to driving your vehicle.
The device is inaccessible to thieves, as it operates on CAN data and has no circuit breaks, making it a very safe, simple to install device. RCA Cheadle are an approved installer of Ghost immobilisers and members of TASSA.
No Key Fobs or LED Signs
The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN immobiliser to safeguard your vehicle from key cloning and theft, as well as hacking. It is integrated into the car's CAN data network and operates in a quiet manner, ensuring that it's undetectable and cannot be disabled simply by cutting wires.
The buttons on the steering wheel and on the door panels of your vehicle generate an unique, reusable PIN code (up to 20 presses) which must be entered prior to driving. It's the same system that you use to access your credit card or mobile banking and can be changed at any time. This can be completed in just a few seconds from your smartphone with the app installed, or if you prefer to use your key fob.
This is a crucial feature of the system that thieves will be unable to break or figure out as it does not require any extra electronics like the key fob. The thief cannot guess the code and will have a difficult finding a way overcome it. It's also unrecognizable by diagnostics since there aren't radio signals being sent out and it isn't detected by RF scanning technology that has been used to fool the security systems of the past few years.
It is also completely weatherproof and fits inside an extremely small, waterproof device that is plugged into the vehicle's wiring harness at any point within your vehicle. This means it doesn't leave any marks or damage to your vehicle - making it a great choice for people who care about their automobiles and want to improve their security.
This is the greatest benefit of all - because there aren't any signals being sent and there is no way for thieves to determine that they have hacked your security device and to seek ways of bypassing it. It's a great option to protect any car owner, but especially since criminals are increasingly targeting the latest cars with their sophisticated technology.
No Radio Signals
As we've mentioned earlier, unlike other vehicle safety devices that require a key fob, or pin code to deactivate them The ghost immobiliser operates in a silent manner and doesn't emit radio signals. This is due to it connecting directly to the CAN data bus. This means that thieves will have a very difficult time trying to identify its presence in your vehicle. The immobiliser will not start your vehicle until you enter the correct PIN sequence which is only possible via a series of buttons pressed in a specific sequence - and it is easily managed via the application.
This makes it much safer than immobilisers that employ a passive system. In these systems the immobiliser can only disconnect the ECU in the event that the key is paired with an active signal. These systems can be disabled with a tag or keypad, by entering a pin code on the keypad, or by pressing a particular sequence of buttons. However the ghost immobiliser cannot be disabled in this way in the event that you have your car towed or stolen, you'll not be capable of driving it back until you enter the correct pin code.
The ghost immobiliser is designed to resist the most sophisticated types of theft, such as the cloning technique. This is due to the fact that thieves might attempt 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 by creating an individual pin code each time you want to start your car. This means that it is not possible to start your car using a cloned key or overriding system.
The CAN immobiliser provides great protection against signal boosters, which are commonly used by thieves to bypass standard security systems that are factory-fitted. It is therefore one of the most effective and reliable immobilisers we install at Progressive Parts. This is the reason it is insurance-approved and is also a popular choice for customers who have to surrender their vehicle to valet parking or a service. It has an "Service Mode" that lets you drive your vehicle temporarily without the need for an PIN code. This is useful if your guests or valet drivers want to drive your vehicle.
No Circuit Cuts
In recent years, car theft has increased as organised criminals employ sophisticated diagnostic tools to detect security systems. The Ghost is designed to serve this purpose. It cannot be detected by any diagnostic tools and operates in complete silence 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 will start. This means that a thief can't simply insert a new key or replace the ECU to take your vehicle, they will need to enter the correct pin code before they can start.
The system has an option for service that allows your vehicle to be started and driven without the need for a unique PIN. This is perfect for when you need to leave your vehicle with valet or mechanic service. You can switch it off and on whenever you please so that no-one else can start your vehicle even when you're not there.
