Autowatch Ghost is a CAN-based immobiliser that protects your vehicle against key-cloning and theft. ghost immobiliser installers near me operates silently and is incorporated into the CAN network of your car.
The buttons on the steering wheel and door panels of your vehicle create a unique, re-usable PIN code (up to 20 presses) that must be entered prior to driving. It's the same system that you use to access your mobile banking or credit card and can be changed at any time. You can do this in seconds using your smartphone and the application you downloaded. If you prefer using your keyfob.
This is a key aspect of the system that thieves will find difficult to crack or figure out because it doesn't require any additional electronic devices like the key fob. Therefore, it is impossible that a thief will know what the code is and will have a difficult time finding a way around this. It's also unrecognizable by diagnostics since there aren't radio signals being sent out and can't be detected by RF scanning technology that has been used to deceive existing security systems in recent years.
It is also weatherproof and can be plugged in to the wiring of your vehicle at any point. It does not damage or leave marks on your vehicle which makes it an excellent choice for those who are worried about their cars and want to improve their security.
This is the greatest benefit of all. Since there aren't any signals being sent that would make it impossible for thieves to see that they have hacked your security device, and try and find ways to bypass it. It's an excellent security feature for any car owner, but especially because criminals are increasingly targeting the latest vehicles with their advanced technology.
No Radio Signals
Like the previous example, unlike security devices for vehicles that require the use of a key fob or special pin code to deactivate, the ghost immobiliser works silently and does not emit any radio signals. This is because it connects directly to the CAN data bus, which means that thieves would have a difficult time trying to detect its presence in your vehicle. The immobiliser will not start your car until you enter the correct PIN sequence. This is only possible by pressing a sequence of buttons in a certain sequence. This can be easily controlled via the application.
This makes it a lot more secure than other immobilisers which use an active system, in which the immobiliser is only able to disconnect the ECU from power when there is a key present and it has an active signal on the board. These systems can be disabled by tapping on the receiver with a tag, entering an identification number into an electronic keypad, or pressing a particular sequence of buttons on a screen. However the ghost immobiliser can't be disabled by this method and, therefore, if you've had your car towed or stolen, you will not be able to drive it back until you enter the correct pin code.
The ghost immobiliser is also designed to be resistant to the most sophisticated types of theft like copying. This is because thieves could attempt to duplicate your key fob, or even hack your vehicle's ECU to bypass the security. The CAN immobiliser blocks this by creating an unique pin code each when you start your car. This means that any duplicate keys or systems for overriding are not able to function.
The CAN immobiliser also offers great protection against signal boosters, which are used by thieves to bypass standard factory-fitted security systems. It is, therefore, one of the most effective and reliable immobilisers we install at Progressive Parts. This is why it is insurance-approved, and is also a popular choice for customers who need to hand over their car for valet parking or another service. It comes with a 'Service Mode' that permits your vehicle to be driven temporarily without the need for a PIN This can be handy when 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 employing sophisticated diagnostics tools to detect fitted security systems. The Ghost is designed to serve this purpose. It cannot be detected by any diagnostic tools and operates in complete silence with the vehicle's CAN data circuit. It connects to the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) and a unique pin code is inputted which must be used before the engine will start. The criminal won't be able to take your vehicle by simply replacing the ECU or adding a new key. They must first enter the correct PIN code.
The system also comes with an option for service valet that allows your car to start and drive without the need for your personal PIN. This is great for when your vehicle is getting its service, or if you're required to leave it with a valet service or mechanic. You can also turn it off and on as you like so that nobody else can start your vehicle when you are not there.
