5 Laws Anybody Working In Ghost Immobiliser Tracker Should Be Aware Of
Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser Fitter
Car thieves are becoming more sophisticated and smarter, so technology has had to evolve to keep up. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser uses your car's buttons that are located on the steering wheel and centre console to create an unique pincode sequence that needs to be entered prior to driving your car.
The device is undetectable to thieves, it uses CAN data and has no circuit cuts, which makes it an extremely secure, easy to install system. RCA Cheadle are an approved fitter of Ghost immobilisers as well as a member of TASSA.
No Key Fobs or LED Indications
The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN-based immobiliser designed to safeguard your vehicle from key cloning and theft, as well as hacking. It is silently operated and integrated into the CAN network of your car.
It generates a unique, alterable PIN code sequence (up to 20 presses) by pressing the buttons on your car's door and steering wheel that must be entered before you can drive. It is the same system that you use to access mobile banking or your credit card. You can change it at anytime. You can do this in seconds with your smartphone and the application you downloaded. Or, if ghost immobiliser price prefer, you can use your keyfob.
This is an important feature of the system that thieves will be unable to crack or work out as it does not require any extra electronics like the key fob. The thief is unable to decipher the code and will have a tough finding a way to escape it. It is also undetectable through diagnostics, since no radio signals are transmitted and it is not detected by RF scanners that were used to fool security systems in the past.
It is also completely weatherproof and fits inside a small, waterproof device that is plugged into the vehicle's wiring harness at any point within your vehicle. It won't damage or leave marks on your vehicle, making it a great option for those who are worried about their vehicles and want to improve their security.
The greatest thing about it is that there aren't signals sent. This means that thieves can't tell if they have cracked the security device or try to bypass it. It's an excellent security feature for any car owner, but especially since criminals are focusing their attention on the latest cars with their advanced technology.
No Radio Signals
As previously mentioned, unlike other security devices for vehicles that require the use of a key fob or special pin code to turn off the ghost immobiliser, it operates in a silent manner and doesn't emit any radio signals. This is because it connects directly to the CAN data bus, which means that thieves would have a very difficult time trying to detect its presence in your vehicle. The immobiliser won't be able to start your car until you enter the correct PIN sequence. This is only possible by pressing a series of buttons in a particular sequence. It is easy to manage through the application.
This makes it more secure than other immobilisers that use passive systems, where the immobiliser only disconnects the ECU from power only if there is a key present and has an active signal on board. These systems can be turned off with a tag or keypad and by entering a pin number into the keypad, or by pressing a specific sequence of buttons. However, the ghost immobiliser cannot be disabled in this way, so if you have your vehicle towed or stolen, you will not be capable of driving it back until you enter the correct pin code.
The ghost immobiliser is also designed to be immune to the most sophisticated theft methods like the cloning technique. This is due to the fact that thieves might attempt to duplicate your key fob, or even hack your vehicle's ECU in order to override the security. The CAN immobiliser stops this by creating a unique pin code every time you start your vehicle. This means that keys that are duplicated or overridden won't work.
The CAN immobiliser provides 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 effective and reliable immobilisers that we install at Progressive Parts. This is why it is insurance-approved, and it is also a favourite with customers who have to give their car for valet parking or another service. It comes with a 'Service Mode' that allows your vehicle to be driven for a short period without the need for a PIN code, which can come in handy when you have guests or valet drivers who want to drive your car.
No Circuit Cuts
Car theft in recent years has become increasingly common with organised thieves using sophisticated diagnostics tools to detect fitted security systems. The Ghost is designed to fight this by not making circuit cuts, it is completely undetectable by any diagnostics and works silently on the vehicles CAN data circuit. It connects with the vehicle's ECU and it is able to identify a pin code when entered. This must be used to start the engine. This means that thieves cannot just add a new key or replace the ECU to steal your vehicle. They'll have to enter the correct pin code first.
The system has the option of allowing your vehicle to be driven and started without the need for a unique PIN. This is ideal the time that your vehicle needs its maintenance, or if you're required to leave the vehicle with a valet business or mechanic. You can also turn it off and on at any time to ensure that nobody else will be capable of starting your car even if you're not there.
