Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter
Car thieves are getting smarter and smarter so technology has to change to keep up. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser works with the buttons on the steering wheel, centre console and door panels to generate a unique pin code sequence that needs to be entered prior to driving your car.
The device isn't able to be detected by thieves, utilizes CAN data and does not have circuit breakers, which makes it a safe and easy-to-install system. RCA Cheadle is an approved Ghost immobiliser installer and a member of TASSA.
No Key Fobs or LED Indications
Autowatch Ghost is an immobiliser using CAN that safeguards your vehicle from key-cloning and theft. It operates silently and is incorporated into your vehicle's CAN network.
It creates a unique, changeable PIN code sequence (up to 20 presses) using the buttons on your vehicle's door and steering wheel which must be entered before you can drive. This is the same system that you use to access your credit card or mobile banking and can be changed at any time. This can be completed in just a few seconds on your smartphone, with the app downloaded or, if prefer, you can use your key fob.
This is an important aspect of the system which thieves will find difficult to crack or figure out because it does not require extra electronics such as the key fob. This means that there is no way thieves will know the code and will struggle to find ways to get around this. It is also undetectable through diagnostics since there are no radio signals being transmitted and it cannot be detected by RF scanner technology that was used to fool security systems in the past.
It is also completely weatherproof and fits inside the form of a small, waterproof device that can be plugged into the wiring harness of your vehicle at any point in your vehicle. This means it does not cause any damage or marks to your vehicle, making it a desirable option for those who are concerned about their automobiles and want to improve their security.
This is the best part of all. Since there are no signals being sent and there is no way for thieves to know that they have breached your security device and try and find ways to bypass it. It is a great addition to any car owner's security, especially as the latest cars are increasingly being targeted by criminals who can take advantage of the new technology that is used in modern vehicles that are becoming more and more sophisticated.
No Radio Signals
As previously mentioned, unlike other vehicle security devices that require an ID card or specific pin code to disable the ghost immobiliser, it operates quietly and does not emit any radio signals. It is connected directly to the CAN bus, therefore a thief will have a hard time being able to detect its presence. The immobiliser won't start your vehicle unless you enter the correct PIN sequence, which can only be accomplished via a series of buttons that are pressed in a certain order. This can be easily managed via the app.
This makes it much more secure than immobilisers which employ a passive system. In these systems the immobiliser can only disconnect the ECU when the key is paired with an active signal. Those systems can be disabled by pressing the receiver using a tag, typing in the pin number on the keypad or pressing a particular sequence of buttons on a display screen. However the ghost immobiliser cannot be disabled by this method and, therefore, if you've had your car towed or stolen, you'll not be capable of driving it back until you enter the correct pin code.
The ghost immobiliser has also been designed to resist the most sophisticated forms of theft, such as cloning. This is due to the fact that thieves might try to duplicate your key fob, or even hack your vehicle's ECU to thwart the security. The CAN immobiliser blocks this by generating an unique pin code each when you start your vehicle. This means that any duplicate keys or systems for overriding won't work.
Additionally, the CAN-Immobiliser is a great protection against signal boost that is utilized by thieves to thwart the factory-fitted immobilisers. This means that it is one of the most reliable and efficient immobilisers that we install at Progressive Parts. It is approved by insurance companies and is popular with customers who want to surrender their vehicle to valet parking. It comes with a 'Service Mode' that permits your car to be driven temporarily without needing the PIN code, which can come in handy if you have guests or valet drivers who want to drive your vehicle.
No Circuit Cuts
Car theft in recent years has become increasingly common, with organised thieves employing sophisticated diagnostics tools to detect fitted security systems. The Ghost is designed specifically for this reason. It cannot be detected by any diagnostics and works in a silent manner with the vehicle's CAN data circuit. It connects with the vehicle's ECU and an individual pin code is entered. This code is used to start the engine. The criminal won't be able to take your car by simply replacing the ECU or adding a new key. They must first enter the correct PIN code.
The system has a service mode that allows your vehicle to be driven and started without the need for a unique PIN. This is great for when your vehicle is receiving its maintenance, or if you have to leave the vehicle with a valet business or mechanic. You can also turn it off and on as you like so that nobody else can start your vehicle when you aren't there.

The Autowatch Ghost is a discrete, next generation device that connects to the CAN data network of your vehicle and comes with a unique PIN code that you can set with our team. This is then entered through buttons on your dashboard and steering wheel to disable your engine. It's a tiny weatherproof device that is unable to be detected using traditional methods. There are no LED indicators, and it's completely hidden during installation and fitting. The Ghost is undetectable using sophisticated technology that scans RF. It is also removable and can be put in and removed at anytime.
No RF Scanning
Standard immobilisers are designed to prevent your car from being started when you do not have the correct key fob or the right code. It does this by sending an immobiliser signal to the ECU. The engine control unit will then detect the signal and shuts off any compromised components.
Modern thieves however are always trying to stay one step ahead of automobile manufacturers and have been able to use technology like key cloning, hacking (relay attacks) and even key theft itself. The thieves are often able to enter your home and sift through your letterbox. They may also steal your car keys the ignition or in your handbag.
The Ghost is the first aftermarket immobiliser for the CAN bus that shields your vehicle from all these dangers. It operates in complete silence and is not able to transmit radio signals and is unable to be detected by RF scanners. It has been TASSA-verified and endorsed by insurance companies, so you can be sure that it's safe to use and won't void your warranty.
Ghost II is not detectable by diagnostic tools, in contrast to an immobiliser fitted at the factory. It also functions independently of any other immobiliser, alarm or tracker you might have installed, making it an effective standalone solution that isn't able to be disabled.
It's easy to use, as you just need to enter your pin code and the car will be starting. The immobiliser also has an option for service valet which is activated by using the buttons on the steering wheel or on the door panels. This is useful when you wish to leave your car for a valet service or take it to a garage. You can also alter the pin code as often as you'd like, to ensure that your car is always safe.
