ghost immobiliser near me has improved to keep up with the ever-increasing sophistication of car thieves. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser uses your car's buttons that are located on the steering wheel and centre console to create a unique pincode sequence that must be entered prior to driving your car.
The device isn't able to be detected by thieves, uses CAN data and has no circuit breakers, making it a safe and simple-to-install 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 protect your vehicle against key-cloning and theft, as well as hacking. It is integrated into the car's CAN data network and is silently operated, so that it is not detected and cannot be disarmed by simple wire cutting.
It creates a unique, changeable PIN code sequence (up to 20 presses) by pressing the buttons on your vehicle's steering wheel and door panels that must be entered before you are able to drive. This is the same system that you use to access your credit card or mobile banking and can be changed at any point. It can be done in seconds with your smartphone and the application you downloaded. If you prefer to use your keyfob.
This is an important characteristic of the system that thieves will find difficult to crack or decipher because it does not require additional electronics like the key fob. This means that it is impossible that the thief would be able to identify the code and will be unable to find ways to get around this. It is also undetectable by tests since there aren't any radio signals being sent out and cannot be detected by RF scanning technology that has been used to fool the security systems of the past few years.
It is also weatherproof and can be connected to the wiring of your vehicle at any time. As a result, it doesn't cause any damage or marks to your car - making it a great choice for those who value their vehicles and want to increase their security.
This is the best part of all. Because there are no signals being sent, there is no way for thieves to determine that they have cracked your security device and try and find ways to get around it. It's a great addition to the security of any car owner, especially since criminals are focusing their attention on the latest cars with their sophisticated technology.
No Radio Signals
Like the previous example, unlike vehicle security devices which require an ID card or specific pin code to disable the ghost immobiliser, it operates silently and does not emit any radio signals. This is because it connects directly to the CAN data bus, which means that a thief would have a 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 is only possible by pressing a few buttons pressed in a specific sequence - and it is easily managed by the app.
This makes it more secure than immobilisers that use an active system. In these systems the immobiliser can only shut off the ECU when the key is connected to an active signal. These systems can be disabled by tapping the receiver with a tag, typing in an identification number into the keypad or pressing a particular sequence of buttons on a display screen. However the ghost immobiliser can't be disabled in this way and, therefore, if you've had your car towed or stolen, you'll not be able to drive it back until you enter the correct pin code.
The ghost immobiliser is designed to be resistant to the most sophisticated types of theft like the cloning technique. 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. 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 using a cloned key or overriding system.
Furthermore, the CAN immobiliser is a great protection against signal boosting that is utilized by thieves to overcome the factory-fitted immobilisers. It is, therefore, one of the most efficient and reliable immobilisers we install at Progressive Parts. This is the reason it is insurance-approved, and it is also a favourite with customers who need to surrender their vehicle for valet parking or another service. It also has a "Service Mode' that permits your car to be driven for a short period without the need for a PIN code, which can come in handy if you have guests or valet drivers that want to drive your vehicle.
No Circuit Cuts
In recent years, car theft has become more more common, with organised thieves employing sophisticated diagnostics tools to detect fitted 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 a unique pin code is entered. This must be used to start the engine. This means that a thief cannot just add a new key or replace the ECU to take your vehicle. They'll need to enter the correct pin code first.
The system comes with 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 service, or if you're required to leave it with a valet service or mechanic. You can also switch it on and off at any time to ensure that no one else will be in a position to start your vehicle even if you're there.

The Autowatch Ghost is a subtle device of the next generation is connected to the CAN data network in your vehicle and has a PIN number you've established with our team. This is then entered through buttons on the dashboard and steering wheel to disable your engine. It's a tiny, weatherproof device that cannot be detected using traditional methods. There are no LED indicators and it's completely hidden when it's fitted and installed. The Ghost is inaccessible to advanced, high-end scan RF and code grabbing technology and is also a completely reversible gadget that can be installed or removed at any time.
No RF Scanning
An immobiliser standard is designed to stop your car from being driven in the event that you don't have the right key fob or code to turn it on. It does this by sending an immobiliser signal to the ECU. The engine control unit then recognises the signal and shuts off any components that are compromised.
Modern criminals, however, are always trying to stay ahead of car manufacturers. They have adapted technologies like key cloning (relay attacks) and hacking (relay attacks) as well as key theft. These thieves will often break into your home and fish through your letterbox. They can also steal your car keys inside your ignition or from your handbag.
The Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser in the world that shields you from all these dangers. It works in silence and does not transmit radio signals and is unable to be detected by scanners with RF. It is TASSA tested and endorsed by insurance companies so you can be confident that it is safe to use and won't impact your warranty.
Ghost II is not detectable by diagnostic tools, unlike an immobiliser that is installed in the factory. It is also independent of any other immobiliser, alarm or tracker you might have installed, making it an effective and standalone solution that isn't able to be disabled.
It's simple to use as you just need to enter your pin code and your car will be starting. The immobiliser has an option for service valet which can be activated using the buttons on the steering wheel or door panels. This is useful when you want to leave your car for valet service or go to a garage. You can also alter the pin code as often as you'd like to ensure that your car is always safe.
