Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter
Car thieves are becoming smarter and smarter so technology has evolved to keep up. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser uses your car's buttons that are located on the steering wheel and central console to create an unique pincode sequence which must be entered prior to driving your car.
The device is inaccessible to thieves, it utilizes CAN data and doesn't have circuit cuts, which makes it a very safe, easy to install system. RCA Cheadle are an approved fitter of Ghost immobilisers and a member of TASSA.
No Key Fobs or LED Indicators
Autowatch Ghost is an immobiliser based on CAN that safeguards your vehicle from key-cloning and theft. It operates in a quiet manner and is integrated into your vehicle's CAN network.
It generates a unique, alterable PIN code sequence (up to 20 presses) using the buttons on your car's steering wheel and door panels which must be entered before you are able to drive. This is the same method you use to access mobile banking or your credit card. You can change it at anytime. This can be done in just seconds from your smartphone with the app downloaded or, if you prefer, to use your key fob.
This is a crucial characteristic of the system that thieves will struggle to crack or work out as it does not require any additional electronics, like the key fob. The thief is unable to decipher the code and will have a hard time finding a way to overcome it. It's also unrecognizable by diagnostics as there are no radio signals being broadcast and it isn't detected by RF scanning technology that has been used to fool existing security systems in recent years.
It's also weatherproof and fits into an extremely small, waterproof device that can be plugged into the vehicle's wiring harness at any point in your vehicle. It does not damage or leave marks on your vehicle, making it an ideal choice for those who are concerned about their vehicles and want to increase their security.
This is the greatest benefit of all. Because there aren't any signals sent, there is no way for thieves to determine that they have cracked your security device and seek ways to get around it. It's a fantastic accessory to any car's security, especially since the latest cars are increasingly being targeted by criminals who are able to take advantage of the new technology in modern vehicles which are becoming more sophisticated.
No Radio Signals
As previously mentioned in contrast to other safety devices that require a key fob or pin code, to disable 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, meaning that a thief would have a difficult time trying to locate its presence in your vehicle. The immobiliser won't be able to start your vehicle until you have entered the correct PIN sequence. This is only possible by pressing a series of buttons in a certain sequence. This can be easily controlled through the application.
This makes it much more secure than immobilisers which utilize an active system. In these systems the immobiliser will only shut off the ECU in the event that the key is present with an active signal. These systems can be disabled with a tag or keypad or keypad, by entering a pin code into the keypad, or pressing a specific sequence of buttons. However, the ghost immobiliser cannot be disabled this way and, therefore, if you've had your car tow-ed or stolen, you'll not be allowed to return it until you enter the correct pin code.
The ghost immobiliser has also been developed to resist the most sophisticated theft methods, such as cloning. This is because thieves can attempt to duplicate your key fob or even hack into your vehicle's ECU and bypass its security. However the CAN immobiliser has been designed to prevent this from happening, since it generates a unique pin number every time you want to start your car. This means that it is not possible to start your vehicle with any cloned key or overriding system.
The CAN immobiliser provides excellent protection against signal boosters, which are used by thieves to circumvent standard security systems that are fitted by the factory. This makes it one of the most effective and reliable immobilisers that we install at Progressive Parts. It is approved by insurance companies and ghost 2 immobiliser review is popular with customers who want to surrender their vehicle to valet parking. It also has the feature of "Service Mode" that allows you to drive your vehicle temporarily without the need for PIN codes. This is helpful if your valet drivers or guests are able 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 specifically designed to serve this for this purpose. It cannot be detected through any diagnostics and works in a silent manner with the CAN data circuit in the vehicle. It connects to the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) and a unique PIN code is entered that must be used before the engine can begin. The thief won't be able to take your vehicle simply by replacing the ECU or by putting in a brand new key. They must first enter the correct PIN code.
The system features a service mode that allows your vehicle to be started and driven without requiring your personal PIN. This is ideal when your vehicle is getting its services, or when you're required to leave it with a valet service or mechanic. You can also turn it off and on whenever you like so that nobody else can start your vehicle, even if you aren't there.

The Ghost is undetectable by advanced, high-end RF scanning and code-grabbing technology and is also a fully reversible device that can be fitted or removed at any time.
No RF Scanning
An immobiliser of standard design is intended to prevent your vehicle from being driven when you don't have proper key fob or code to start it. It does this by sending an immobiliser signal to the ECU. The engine control unit will then detect the signal and shuts down any component that is compromised.
Modern thieves, however, are always looking to stay ahead of car makers. They have developed new techniques like key cloning (relay attacks) and hacking (relay attacks) as well as key theft. They will usually break into your home and fish through your letterbox. They may also take your car keys from the ignition or in your purse.
The Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser in the world that guards you against all these threats. It operates in complete silence and does not transmit radio signals and is unable to be detected by scanners with RF. It's TASSA-certified and approved by insurance providers and insurance companies, so you can be assured that it's safe to use and won't void your warranty.
As opposed to a factory-fitted immobiliser Ghost II doesn't come with an indicator for status so it's inaccessible to diagnostic tools. It's also not dependent on any other alarms, immobilisers or trackers you might have installed. This makes it a highly effective standalone solution that cannot be disabled.
It's also simple to use - simply enter your pin code, and your car will start. The immobiliser can also be set to a service valet mode which can be activated by pressing the buttons on your steering wheel or door panels. This can be useful when you need to take your vehicle to the garage, or when leaving it with a valet parking business. You can change the pin code as often as you like to ensure that your vehicle is secure at all times.
