Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter
The technology has advanced to keep up with the ever-increasing sophistication of car thieves. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser works with the buttons on the steering wheel, centre console and door panels to make a unique pin code sequence which must be entered before driving your vehicle.
The device is inaccessible to thieves, it uses CAN data and has no circuit cuts, which makes it an extremely secure, easy to fit system. RCA Cheadle is an approved Ghost immobiliser installer and member of TASSA.
No key fobs or LED indicators
Autowatch Ghost is a CAN-based immobiliser that safeguards your vehicle from key-cloning and theft. It is integrated into your vehicle's CAN data networks and operates in a quiet manner, ensuring that it is undetectable and cannot be disabled by simple wire cutting.
The buttons on the steering wheel and the door panels of your vehicle create an individual, reusable PIN code (up to 20 presses) which 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. This can be completed in just a few seconds on your smartphone, with the app downloaded or, if prefer, you could use your key fob.
This is an important characteristic of the system which thieves will find difficult to crack or figure out since it doesn't require any additional electronic devices like the key fob. This means that there is no way a thief will be able to identify the code and will struggle to find ways to get around this. It's also inaccessible to diagnostics since there aren't radio signals being transmitted and cannot be detected by RF scanning technology that has been used to spoof existing security systems in recent years.
It is also weatherproof and can be connected to the vehicle's wiring at any point. It won't damage or leave marks on your vehicle, making it a great option for those who are concerned about their cars and wish to increase their security.
This is the best part of all. Because there are no signals being sent that would make it impossible for thieves to know that they have cracked your security device, and seek ways of bypassing it. It's a fantastic accessory to any car's security, especially since the modern cars are becoming increasingly targeted by criminals that can profit from the new technology that is used in modern vehicles that are becoming more sophisticated.
No Radio Signals
As previously mentioned, unlike other security devices for vehicles that require a key fob or a special pin code to deactivate the ghost immobiliser, it operates quietly and does not emit any radio signals. It is directly connected to the CAN bus, therefore thieves will have a difficult time finding its presence. The immobiliser won't be able to start your vehicle unless you enter the correct PIN sequence which can only be done via a series of buttons that are pressed in a particular sequence - and it is easily managed by the application.
This makes it more secure than other immobilisers which use a passive system, where the immobiliser will only shut off the ECU from power only if the key is present and it has an active signal on board. The systems can be disabled using a tag or keypad or keypad, by entering a pin number into the keypad, or by pressing a specific sequence of buttons. However, the ghost immobiliser cannot be disabled this way, so if you have your vehicle towed or stolen, you will not be able to drive it back until you enter the correct pin code.
The ghost immobiliser has been developed to resist the most sophisticated theft methods like cloning. This is because thieves may 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 individual pin code each time you start your car. This means that any keys that are duplicated or overridden are not able to function.
Additionally, the CAN-Immobiliser provides excellent protection against signal boosting, which is used by thieves to overcome standard factory-fitted immobilisers. This makes it one of the most effective and reliable immobilisers we fit at Progressive Parts. It is approved by insurance companies and is also popular with customers who wish to hand over their car for valet parking. It has the feature of "Service Mode" that lets you drive your car for a short period of time without requiring an PIN code. This is helpful when your guests or valet drivers are able to drive your vehicle.
No Circuit Cuts
In recent years, car theft has increased, as organized criminals use sophisticated diagnostic tools to detect security systems. The Ghost is designed specifically for this for this purpose. It cannot be detected through any diagnostics, and it works silently with the CAN data circuit in the vehicle. It connects to the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) and a unique PIN code is inputted which must be used before the engine can start. This means that a thief can't simply insert a new key or replace the ECU to steal your vehicle, they will need to enter the correct pin code first.
The system also comes with the option of a service valet mode which will allow your vehicle to start and drive without the need for your unique PIN. This is ideal for situations where you want to leave your vehicle with valet or mechanic service. You can also turn the switch on and off at will to ensure that nobody else is in a position to start your vehicle, even when you're not there.

The Autowatch Ghost is a subtle, next generation device that is connected to your vehicle's CAN data network and comes with a unique PIN code that you set with our team. The PIN code is entered via buttons on the dashboard and steering wheel to turn off your vehicle's engine. It's a weatherproof, tiny device that can't be detected using conventional methods, which means that there are no LED indicators, and it's completely hidden away during the installation and fitting. The Ghost is unnoticeable by advanced, high-end RF scanning and code grabbing technology and is also a fully reversible device that can be installed or removed at any time.
No RF Scanning
An immobiliser standard is designed to stop your car from being driven when you don't have appropriate key fob or code to turn it on. It does this by sending an alarm to the ECU, which is then recognized by the engine control unit, and will shut down any component of the system that are compromised.
Modern thieves are striving to stay a step ahead of car manufacturers and have been able to use technologies like key cloning, hacking (relay attacks) and even key theft itself. ghost immobiliser installers near me will often resort to breaking and entering your home and sifting through your letterbox, taking keys to your car from your bag or even from the ignition.
The Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser on the market that protects you from all these dangers. It connects to the CAN bus, operates silently without radio signals, and cannot be detected by RF scanners that are used by organised thieves. It is TASSA verified and approved by insurance companies, so you can be sure that it is safe to use and will not affect your warranty.
Ghost II is not detectable by diagnostic tools, unlike an immobiliser fitted at the factory. It also works independently from any other alarm, immobiliser or tracker you may install, making it an effective and standalone solution that can't be disabled.
It's simple to use too - just enter your pin code and your car will be starting. The immobiliser will also have the option of a service valet which can be activated by pressing buttons on the steering wheel or door panels. This is useful when you wish to leave your car for valet services or go to a garage. You can also alter the pin code as many times you want, to ensure that your car is always secure.
