Autowatch Ghost is an immobiliser based on CAN that protects your vehicle against key-cloning and theft. It operates in a quiet manner and is incorporated into the CAN network of your car.
The buttons on the steering wheel and on the door panels of your vehicle create an individual, reusable PIN code (up to 20 presses) that must be entered prior to driving. It is the same system that you use to access mobile banking or your credit card. You can change it at any time. You can do this in a matter of seconds with your smartphone and the application you downloaded. If you prefer using your keyfob.
This is a key feature of the system that thieves will struggle to break or get rid of since it doesn't require any additional electronic devices like the key fob. The criminal is unable to guess the code and will have a difficult finding a way to escape it. It is also undetectable through diagnostics since there are no radio signals being transmitted and it is not detected by RF scanner technology that was used to fake security systems in the past.
It is also weatherproof and can be connected to the wiring of your vehicle at any point. It does not cause any damage or marks to your car - making it an attractive option for those who value their automobiles and want to improve their security.
This is the greatest benefit of all - because there aren't any 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 fantastic addition to any car owner's security, particularly as latest cars are increasingly being targeted by criminals who are able to benefit from the latest technology in modern vehicles that are becoming more sophisticated.
No Radio Signals
As previously mentioned, unlike other vehicle security devices that require a key fob or a special pin code to turn off, the ghost immobiliser works silently and does not emit any radio signals. It connects directly to the CAN data bus, which means that thieves 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 can only be accomplished by pressing a few buttons that are pressed in a particular order. This can be easily controlled via the app.
This makes it much more secure than immobilisers which use an active system. In these systems the immobiliser can only disconnect the ECU if the key is paired with an active signal. The systems can be disabled by using a tag or a keypad and by entering a pin code on the keypad or by pressing a particular sequence of buttons. However the ghost immobiliser cannot be disabled in this way and, therefore, if you've had your car tow-ed or stolen, you'll not be capable of driving it back until you enter the correct pin code.
The ghost immobiliser has been designed to be resistant to the most sophisticated theft methods such as cloning. This is because thieves could attempt to duplicate your key fob or even hack into your vehicle's ECU and bypass its security. However, the CAN immobiliser is specifically designed to block this from happening, since it generates an individual pin code every time you wish to start your car. This means that it won't be possible to start your car using a cloned key or overriding system.
The CAN immobiliser also offers excellent protection against signal boosters, which are often used by thieves to evade security systems that are fitted by the factory. It is, therefore, one of the most efficient and reliable immobilisers we install at Progressive Parts. This is why it is insurance-approved and is also a favourite with customers who have to hand over their car for valet parking or a service. It comes with a 'Service Mode' that permits your vehicle to be driven for a short period without the need for a PIN This can be 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 and more common with organised thieves using sophisticated diagnostic devices to identify fitted security systems. The Ghost is specifically designed for this purpose. It isn't detected by any diagnostic tools and works in a silent manner with the CAN data circuit of the vehicle. It connects to the vehicle's ECU and a unique pin code is entered. This is required to start the engine. The thief won't be able to take your vehicle by simply replacing the ECU or putting in a new key. They must first enter the correct PIN code.
The system features a service mode that allows your vehicle to be started and driven without needing your unique PIN.
