Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter
Car thieves are getting more sophisticated and smarter, therefore technology has to change to keep up. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser uses your car's buttons that are located on the steering wheel and centre console to create an unique pincode sequence which must be entered prior to driving your vehicle.
The device is inaccessible to thieves, it utilizes CAN data and has no circuit cuts, which makes it an extremely secure, easy to fit system. RCA Cheadle are an approved fitter of Ghost immobilisers as well as a member of TASSA.
No Key Fobs or LED Indicators
The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN-based immobiliser designed to ensure your car is safe from key cloning and theft, as well as hacking. It operates silently and is incorporated into your car's CAN network.
It generates a unique, changeable PIN code sequence (up to 20 presses) using the buttons on your car's door 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. You can do this within a matter of minutes with your smartphone and the application you downloaded. Or, if you prefer, you can use your keyfob.
This is a key aspect of the system that thieves will find difficult to break or get rid of as it does not require any additional electronic devices like the key fob. The thief is unable to decipher the code and will have a hard time finding a way to escape it. It is also unrecognizable by diagnostics, since there are no radio signals being transmitted and it is not detected by RF scanner technology that was used to fool security systems in the past.
It's also weatherproof and fits into a small, waterproof device that is plugged into the wiring harness of your vehicle at any time in your vehicle. As a result, it does not leave any marks or damage to your vehicle, making it a great choice for people who care about their vehicles and want to improve their security.
The best part is that there are no signals sent. This means that thieves can't tell if they have cracked the security device or try to get around it. It's a great security feature for any car owner, but especially because criminals are increasingly targeting the latest vehicles with their advanced technology.
No Radio Signals
As previously mentioned in contrast to other safety devices that require a key fob, or pin code to turn them off the ghost immobiliser works silently and doesn't emit any radio signals. This is because it connects directly to the CAN data bus. This means that a thief would have a very difficult time trying to identify its presence in your vehicle. The immobiliser won't be able to start your vehicle until you enter the correct PIN sequence, which can only be done by pressing a few buttons that are pressed in a certain order. This can be easily managed by the application.
This makes it a lot more secure than other immobilisers that employ passive systems, where the immobiliser is only able to disconnect the ECU from power only if a key is present and has an active signal on the board. Those systems can be disabled by tapping the receiver using tags, entering an identification number into the keypad or pressing a particular sequence of buttons on a screen. The ghost immobiliser can't be disabled in this manner. If your car is stolen or tow-away, you won't be able drive it back until the pin code has been entered.
The ghost immobiliser is also designed to be resistant to the most sophisticated theft methods such as the cloning technique. This is because thieves could try to duplicate your key fob, or even hack your vehicle's ECU to thwart the security. However the CAN immobiliser has been specifically designed to block this from happening, since it generates a unique pin number every time you want to start your car, meaning that it is not possible to start your vehicle using any key that is cloned or overriding system.
Additionally, the CAN-Immobiliser provides excellent protection against signal boosting and is often used by thieves to defeat the factory-fitted immobilisers. This means that it is one of the most reliable and effective immobilisers we install at Progressive Parts. It is approved by insurance companies and is well-liked by customers who want to hand over their car to valet parking. It comes with a 'Service Mode' that permits your car to be driven for a short period without the need for a PIN code that can come in handy if you have guests or valet drivers that want to drive your car.
No Circuit Cuts
In recent years, vehicle theft has increased, as organized criminals use sophisticated diagnostic tools to detect security systems. The Ghost is designed for this for 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 with the vehicle's ECU and an individual pin code is entered. This code is used to start the engine. This means that a thief can't simply insert a new key or replace the ECU in order to steal your vehicle. They will need to enter the correct pin code prior to entering.
The system features an option for service that allows your vehicle to be driven and started without needing your unique PIN. This is perfect for when you need to leave your vehicle with a mechanic or valet service.
