Ghost Immobiliser Tracker Isn t As Tough As You Think
Autowatch ghost immobiliser and tracker Immobiliser Fitter
The technology has improved to keep up with the ever-increasing sophistication of car thieves. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser uses your vehicle's buttons on the steering wheel and centre console to generate a unique pincode sequence that needs to be entered prior to driving your vehicle.
The device is inaccessible to thieves, it utilizes CAN data and doesn't have circuit cuts, which makes it an extremely secure, easy to fit system. RCA Cheadle is an approved Ghost immobiliser fitter and a member of TASSA.
No Key Fobs or LED Indicators
The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN immobiliser to safeguard your vehicle from key cloning and theft, as well as hacking. It integrates into the vehicle's CAN data networks and operates silently so that it is undetectable and cannot be disabled simply by cutting wires.
The buttons on the steering wheel and on the door panels of your vehicle create 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 point. You can do this in a matter of seconds with your smartphone and the app you downloaded. Or, if you prefer to use your keyfob.
This is an important 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. As such, there is no way thieves will be able to identify the code and will struggle to find ways to get around this. It is also undetectable by diagnostics since there aren't radio signals being sent out and cannot be detected by RF scanning technology that has been used to fool security systems in recent years.
It is also completely weatherproof and fits into a small waterproof device that is plugged into the vehicle's wiring harness at any time in your vehicle. It won't damage or leave marks on your vehicle and is a great option for those who are worried about their cars and wish to improve their security.
This is the most important aspect of all. Since there aren't any signals being sent that would make it impossible for thieves to see that they have breached your security device and try and find ways to get around it. It's a great option to protect any car owner, but especially because criminals are increasingly targeting the latest vehicles with their sophisticated technology.
No Radio Signals
As previously mentioned as opposed to other vehicle security devices that require a key fob or pin code to deactivate them the ghost immobiliser works 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 would have a difficult time trying to locate its presence in your vehicle. The immobiliser won't start your car unless you enter the right PIN sequence. This can only be done by pressing a series of buttons in a specific sequence. This is easily managed via the application.
This makes it a lot more secure than other immobilisers which use a passive system, where the immobiliser only disconnects the ECU from power if the key is present and has an active signal on the board. The systems can be turned off by tapping on the receiver using a tag, typing in an identification number into a keypad or pressing a certain sequence of buttons on a screen. However, the ghost immobiliser cannot be disabled by this method, so if you have your car tow-ed or stolen, you'll not be able to drive it back until you enter the correct pin code.
The ghost immobiliser has also been designed to be resistant to the most sophisticated types of theft, such as copying. This is due to the fact that thieves might attempt to duplicate your key fob or even hack your vehicle's ECU to thwart the security. However, the CAN immobiliser is specifically designed to block this, as it creates a unique pin code for each time you want to start your car, meaning that it will not be possible to start your car with any cloned key or overriding system.
The CAN immobiliser also offers great protection against signal boosters, which are used by thieves to evade security systems that are fitted by the factory. This means it is one of the most reliable and efficient immobilisers we install at Progressive Parts. It is accepted by insurance companies and is also popular with customers who wish to give their car over to valet parking. It has an "Service Mode" that allows you to drive your vehicle for a period of time without the need for PIN codes. This is helpful when your valet drivers or guests want to drive your vehicle.
No Circuit Cuts
In recent years, car theft has become more and more frequent, with organized thieves using sophisticated diagnostics devices to detect fitted security systems. The Ghost is specifically designed specifically for this purpose. It isn't detected by any diagnostics and works in a silent manner with the CAN data circuit of the vehicle. It connects to the vehicle's ECU and it is able to identify a pin code when entered. This must be used to start the engine. This means that thieves cannot simply change a key or replace the ECU to steal your vehicle. They will need to enter the correct pin code first.
The system has an option for service that allows your vehicle to be started and driven without needing your unique PIN. This is perfect for when you're planning to leave your vehicle with an auto mechanic or valet service. You can also turn it off and on whenever you like so that nobody else will be able to start your vehicle when you are not there.

The Autowatch Ghost, a discreet device of the next generation, is connected to the CAN data network within your vehicle and has a PIN number you've created with our team. The code is then entered via buttons on your steering wheel and dashboard to turn off your engine. It is a tiny, weatherproof device that cannot be detected using conventional methods. There are no indicators with LEDs, and it's completely concealed when it's fitted and installed. The Ghost is undetectable by modern, sophisticated RF scanning and code grabbing technology. It's also a fully reversible device that can be fitted or removed at any point.
No RF Scanning
Standard immobilisers are made to prevent your vehicle from starting if you do not have the correct key fob or code. It does this by sending a signal to the ECU which is recognised by the engine control unit, and closes down any component in the system that could be compromised.
Modern thieves however are always striving to stay a step ahead of car manufacturers and have been able to use technology like key cloning, hacking (relay attacks) and even key theft itself. These thieves will often enter your home and sift through your letterbox. They can also take your car keys from the ignition or in your purse.
The Ghost is the world's first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that protects your vehicle from these dangers. It connects to the CAN bus, works silently without radio signals, and isn't detected by RF scanners used by organized criminals. It is TASSA certified and approved by insurance companies, so you can be sure that it is safe to use and won't affect your warranty.
In contrast to an immobiliser fitted by the factory, Ghost II doesn't come with an indicator to indicate status, which means it's undetectable by diagnostic tools. It is also independent of any other alarm, immobiliser or tracker that you might have installed, making it an effective, standalone solution that cannot be disabled.
It's also easy to use - just enter your pin code and the car will start. The immobiliser also has the ability to service valet that is activated by using the buttons on the steering wheel or door panels. This is useful if you need to leave your car with a valet service or go to garage. You can change the pin code as many times as you want, so your car is always secure.
