Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter
Car thieves are becoming smarter and smarter so technology has evolved to keep up. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser works with your vehicle's buttons on the steering wheel as well as the centre console and door panels to make a unique pin code sequence that needs to be entered before driving your car.
The device is not detectable by thieves, uses CAN data, and has no circuit breaks, making it a secure and easy-to-install 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 immobiliser that can safeguard your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and key theft. It operates in a quiet manner and is integrated into the CAN network of your car.
The buttons on the steering wheel and on the door panels of your vehicle create a unique, re-usable PIN code (up to 20 presses) that must be entered prior to driving. It is the same system that you use to access mobile banking or your credit card. You can alter it at anytime. This can be done in a matter of seconds from your smartphone with the app installed or, if you prefer, you can use your key fob.
This is an important characteristic of the system that thieves will struggle to crack or work out as it does not require any extra electronics like the key fob. This means that it is impossible that a thief will know the code and will be unable to find ways to get around this. It's also unrecognizable by diagnostics since there aren't radio signals being broadcast and cannot be detected by RF scanning technology that has been used to deceive existing security systems in recent years.
It's also weatherproof and fits inside a small waterproof device that can be connected into the vehicle's wiring harness at any point within your vehicle. It does not damage or leave marks on your vehicle which makes it an excellent choice for those who are concerned about their vehicles and want to increase their security.
The most appealing aspect is that there aren't any signals being sent. This means that thieves cannot see if they have cracked the security device, or try to bypass it. It is a great accessory to any car's security, particularly as modern cars are becoming increasingly targeted by criminals who can take advantage of the new technology in modern vehicles which are becoming more sophisticated.
No Radio Signals
As previously mentioned, unlike other security devices for vehicles that require the use of a key fob or special pin code to turn off the ghost immobiliser, it operates silently and does not emit any radio signals. It connects directly to the CAN data bus. This means that a thief would have a difficult time trying to locate its presence in your vehicle. The immobiliser won't start your vehicle until you enter the correct PIN sequence, which can only be accomplished by pressing a few buttons pressed in a specific sequence - and it is easily managed via the app.
This makes it much more secure than immobilisers that utilize a passive system. In these systems the immobiliser can only disconnect the ECU when the key is connected to an active signal. Those systems can be disabled by tapping the receiver with a tag, entering the pin number on a keypad or pressing a specific sequence of buttons on a screen. However the ghost immobiliser can't be disabled this way in the event that you have your vehicle towed or stolen, you will not be capable of driving it back until you enter the correct pin code.
The ghost immobiliser has also been made to be resistant to the most sophisticated theft methods such as copying. This is due to the fact that thieves could attempt to duplicate your key fob or even hack into your vehicle's ECU and bypass its security. The CAN immobiliser blocks this by generating an unique pin code each time you start your vehicle. This means that any keys that are duplicated or overridden are not able to function.
The CAN immobiliser also offers an excellent defense against signal boosters, which are often used by thieves to circumvent standard factory-fitted security systems. It is, therefore, one of the most efficient and reliable immobilisers we install at Progressive Parts. It is accepted by insurance companies and is popular with customers who wish to give their car over for valet parking. It comes with a 'Service Mode' that allows your vehicle to be driven temporarily without the need for a PIN, which can come in handy if you have guests or valet drivers who ghost immobiliser cost wish to drive your car.
No Circuit Cuts
Car theft in recent years has become increasingly common with organised thieves using sophisticated diagnostic devices to identify fitted security systems. The Ghost is designed to combat 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 entered that must be entered before the engine will start. 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 has the option of allowing your vehicle to be driven and started without requiring your personal PIN. This is great for when your vehicle is receiving its services, or when you have to leave the vehicle with a valet business or mechanic. You can also switch the switch on and off at any time to ensure that no one else will be able to start your vehicle even if you're not there.
