Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter
The technology has improved to keep up with the growing sophistication of car thieves. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser uses your car's buttons that are located on the steering wheel and central console to generate an individual pincode sequence which must be entered prior to driving your car.
The device is inaccessible to thieves, it uses CAN data and doesn't have circuit breaks, making it extremely secure and easy to fit system. RCA Cheadle is an approved Ghost immobiliser installer and a member of TASSA.
No Key Fobs or LED Signs
The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN immobiliser that can protect your vehicle against key-cloning, hacking and key theft. It is integrated into the vehicle's CAN data networks and operates in a quiet manner, ensuring that it is undetectable and cannot be harmed by simple wire cutting.
The buttons on the steering wheel and door panels of your car create an unique, reusable PIN code (up to 20 presses) that must be entered prior to driving. This is the same system that you use to access your mobile banking or credit card and can be changed at any time. It can be done in a matter of seconds using your smartphone and the application you downloaded. Or, if you prefer, you can use your keyfob.
This is an important feature of the system that thieves will struggle to break or figure out since it doesn't require any additional electronics, like the key fob. Therefore, there is no way thieves will know the code and will be unable to find ways to get around this. It is also inaccessible to diagnostics since no radio signals are transmitted and it is not detected by RF scanner technology that was used to fool security systems in the past.
It is also weatherproof and can be plugged in to the vehicle's wiring at any time. It won't damage or leave marks on your vehicle and is a great option for those who are worried about their vehicles and want to increase their security.
The greatest thing about it is that there aren't any signals being sent. This means that thieves are unable to see whether they have broken the security device or attempt to get around it. It is an excellent option to protect any car owner, especially since criminals are focusing their attention on the latest cars with their sophisticated technology.
No Radio Signals
As we've mentioned earlier, unlike other vehicle safety devices that require a key fob, or pin code, to turn them off, the ghost immobiliser operates silently and doesn't emit any radio signals. This is because it connects directly to the CAN data bus. This means that a thief would have a difficult time trying to detect its presence in your vehicle. The immobiliser will not start your car until you enter the right PIN sequence. This can only be done by pressing a sequence of buttons in a particular order. This is easily managed by using the app.
This makes it a lot more secure than other immobilisers which use an active system, in which the immobiliser will only shut off the ECU from power when a key is present and there is an active signal on board. These systems can be disabled with a tag or keypad and by entering a pin code on the keypad, or by pressing a specific sequence of buttons. The ghost immobiliser, however, can't be disabled in this manner. If your car is towed away or stolen and you are unable to drive it back until the pin number is entered.
The ghost immobiliser is designed to be resistant to the most sophisticated theft methods such as the cloning technique. This is because thieves may attempt to duplicate your key fob, or even hack your vehicle's ECU in order to override the security. However the CAN immobiliser has been designed to prevent this, as it creates a unique pin number every time you want to start your car, which means that it will not be possible to start your vehicle using a cloned key or overriding system.
The CAN immobiliser also provides excellent protection against signal boosters, which are used by thieves to evade security systems that are factory-fitted. This means it is one of the most reliable and effective immobilisers we install at Progressive Parts. It is endorsed by insurance companies and is popular with customers who want to give their car over to valet parking. It also has a "Service Mode' that permits your vehicle 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 car.
No Circuit Cuts
In recent years, car theft has become more more common, with organised thieves employing sophisticated diagnostic devices to identify fitted security systems. The Ghost is designed for this reason. It cannot be detected by any diagnostic tools, and it works silently with the CAN data circuit in the vehicle. It connects to the vehicle's ECU and a unique pin code is entered. This code is used to start the engine. This means that thieves cannot simply change a key or replace the ECU in order to steal your vehicle. They will need to enter the correct pin code prior to entering.
The system also comes with a service valet mode that allows your car to start and drive without having to enter your unique PIN. This is perfect for when you want to leave your vehicle with valet or mechanic service. You can also switch it off and on at any time to ensure that nobody else will be able to start your vehicle even if you're not there.

The Autowatch Ghost is a discreet, next generation device that is connected to the CAN data network of your vehicle and comes with a unique PIN code that you set with our team. It is entered using buttons on your dashboard and steering wheel to turn off your engine. It's a weatherproof, small device that isn't detected using conventional methods, which means that there aren't any LED indicators, and it's completely hidden during installation and fitting. The Ghost is undetectable using sophisticated technology that scans RF. It's also reversible and can be installed and removed at anytime.
No RF Scanning
Standard immobilisers are designed to stop your vehicle from starting when you do not have the proper key fob or code. It does this by sending an immobiliser signal to the ECU. The engine control unit then recognises the signal and shuts down any component that is compromised.
Modern thieves are trying to stay one step ahead of automobile manufacturers and have adapted to using technologies like key cloning, hacking (relay attacks) and even key theft itself. The thieves are often able to enter your home and sift through your mailbox. They might also take your car keys from inside your ignition or your handbag.
The Ghost is the world's first aftermarket immobiliser for the CAN bus that shields your vehicle from all of these dangers. It works in silence and is not able to transmit radio signals and is not able to be detected by RF scanners. 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.
Ghost II is not detectable by diagnostic tools, unlike an immobiliser installed in the factory. It's also unaffected by any other immobilisers, alarms or trackers you may have installed. This makes it a highly effective standalone solution that cannot be removed.
It's simple to use and you only need to enter your pin code and your car will be starting. The immobiliser also has the option of a service valet which can be activated by pressing the buttons on the steering wheel or on the door panels. This is helpful when you need to leave your car with valet services or take it to garage.
