Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter
The technology has advanced to keep up with the ever-increasing sophistication of car thieves. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser works with your vehicles existing buttons on the steering wheel, centre console and door panels to create a unique pin code sequence that must be entered prior to driving your vehicle.

No key fobs or LED indicators
The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN immobiliser to ensure your car is safe from key cloning, hacking and key theft. It is integrated into your car's CAN data network. It is silently operated, so that it's undetectable and cannot be harmed by simple wire cutting.
The buttons on the steering wheel and on the door panels of your vehicle create a unique, re-usable PIN code (up to 20 presses) which must be entered prior to driving. This is the same method that you use to access your mobile banking or credit card and can be altered 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 a crucial feature of the system that thieves will struggle to break or get rid of since it doesn't require any extra electronics like the key fob. The thief cannot guess the code and will have a hard finding a way to get around it. It's also inaccessible to diagnostics as there are no radio signals being transmitted and it isn't detected by RF scanning technology that has been used to deceive security systems in recent years.
It's also weatherproof and fits inside a small, waterproof device that can be connected into the wiring harness of your vehicle at any point within your vehicle. As a result, it does not cause any damage or marks to your car - making it a desirable option for those who are concerned about their vehicles and want to improve their security.
This is the most important aspect of all. Since there aren't any signals being sent that would make it impossible for thieves to see that they have cracked your security device, and attempt to find ways to bypass it. It's a great option to protect any car owner, but especially because criminals are increasingly targeting the latest vehicles with their sophisticated technology.
No Radio Signals
As previously mentioned, unlike other security devices for vehicles that require an ID card or special pin code to deactivate the ghost immobiliser, the ghost works quietly and does not emit any radio signals. This is because it connects directly to the CAN data bus, which means that a thief would have a very difficult time trying to detect 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 through a number of buttons that are pressed in a particular sequence - and it is easily managed by the application.
This makes it more secure than immobilisers which employ an active system. In these systems the immobiliser will only disconnect the ECU in the event that the key is present with an active signal. These systems can be disabled by tapping on the receiver using a tag, entering 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 in the event that you have 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 is designed to be immune to the most sophisticated types of theft such as the cloning technique. This is because thieves could try to duplicate your key fob or even hack your vehicle's ECU to thwart the security. The CAN immobiliser stops this by creating an individual pin code each time you start your vehicle. This means that any cloned keys or overriding systems are not able to function.
The CAN immobiliser also provides excellent protection against signal boosters, which are used by thieves to circumvent standard security systems that are fitted by the factory. This makes it one of the most effective and reliable immobilisers that we install at Progressive Parts. It is endorsed by insurance companies and is also well-liked by customers who want to give their car over to valet parking.

No Circuit Cuts
Car theft in recent years has become more and more frequent, with organized thieves using sophisticated diagnostics devices to detect fitted security systems. The Ghost is designed specifically for this purpose. It cannot be detected by any diagnostics and works in a silent manner with the CAN data circuit of the vehicle. It connects with the vehicle's ECU and a unique pin code is entered. This is required to start the engine. The thief will not be able to steal your car by simply replacing the ECU or adding a new key. They must first enter the correct PIN code.
The system also comes with a service valet mode that will allow your vehicle to start and drive without the need for your personal PIN. This is perfect for when you want to leave your vehicle with a mechanic or valet service.
