Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter
Car thieves are becoming more sophisticated and smarter, therefore technology has to change to keep up. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser works with your vehicles existing buttons on the steering wheel and centre console as well as door panels to generate an individual pin code sequence which must 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 are an approved installer of Ghost immobilisers and a member of TASSA.
No Key Fobs or LED Signs
The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN-based immobiliser designed to safeguard your vehicle from key cloning and theft, as well as hacking. It operates in a quiet manner and is incorporated into your vehicle's CAN network.
It generates a unique alterable PIN code sequence (up to 20 presses) by pressing the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheel and door panels which must be entered prior to being able to drive. This is the same method you use to access mobile banking or your credit card. You can alter it at anytime. This can be done in just minutes from your smartphone using the app downloaded, or if you prefer you could use your key fob.
This is an important feature of the system, which thieves will find it difficult to crack or figure out because it doesn't require extra electronics such as the key fob. Therefore, there is no way the thief would know the code and will be unable to find a way around this. It is also undetectable by diagnostics since there aren't radio signals being broadcast and can't be detected by RF scanning technology that has been used to deceive the security systems of the past few years.
It is also weatherproof and can be plugged in to the vehicle's wiring at any point. This means it does not cause any damage or marks to your vehicle - making it an attractive option for those who are concerned about their vehicles and want to improve their security.
This is the greatest benefit of all. Because there are no signals being sent, there is no way for thieves to know that they have hacked your security device, and attempt to find ways to get around it. ghost immobiliser fitting 's an excellent addition to the security of any car owner, but especially since criminals are increasingly targeting the latest vehicles with their sophisticated 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 silently and doesn't emit any radio signals. It is directly connected to the CAN bus, therefore thieves will have a difficult time finding its presence. The immobiliser won't be able to start your vehicle unless 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 which use a passive system, where the immobiliser will only shut off the ECU from power if the key is present and it has an active signal on board. The systems can be turned off by tapping on the receiver with tags, entering a pin number into a keypad or pressing a certain sequence of buttons on a screen. The ghost immobiliser, however, is not able to be disabled this way. If your car is towed away or stolen it will not be able to return it until the pin code is entered.
The ghost immobiliser is designed to resist the most sophisticated forms of theft like copying. This is because thieves can attempt to duplicate your key fob or even hack into your vehicle's ECU and override its security. However the CAN immobiliser has been designed to prevent this, as it creates a unique pin number each time you want to start your car, which means that it is not possible to start your car using any key that is cloned or overriding system.
Furthermore, the CAN immobiliser provides excellent protection against signal boosting, which is used by thieves to overcome the factory-fitted immobilisers. This means it is one of the most reliable and efficient immobilisers we install at Progressive Parts. This is the reason it is insurance-approved, and it is also a popular choice for customers who need to give their car for valet parking or another service. It has a 'Service Mode' that allows your vehicle 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 who want to drive your vehicle.
No Circuit Cuts
In recent years, car theft has increased as organised criminals use sophisticated diagnostic tools to identify security systems. The Ghost is designed to fight this by not making circuit cuts, it is unnoticeable by any diagnostics, and it operates completely silently on the vehicles CAN data circuit. It is connected to the vehicle's ECU and an individual pin code is entered. This must be used to start the engine. The thief won't be able to steal your car by simply replacing the ECU or by putting in a brand new key. They must first enter the correct PIN code.
The system features the option of allowing your vehicle to be driven and started without needing your unique PIN.
