No key fobs or LED indicators
Autowatch Ghost is a CAN-based immobiliser that protects your vehicle from key-cloning and theft. It is integrated into your vehicle's CAN data networks and is silently operated, so that it's undetectable and cannot be harmed by simple wire cutting.
It creates a unique, changeable PIN code sequence (up to 20 presses) using the buttons on your car's door and steering wheel which must be entered before you are able to drive. It's the same system you use to access mobile banking or your credit card. You can alter it at anytime. It can be done in a matter of seconds using your smartphone and the application you downloaded. If you prefer, you can use your keyfob.
This is a key aspect of the system which thieves will find difficult to crack or figure out because it doesn't require additional electronics like the key fob. As such, there is no way thieves will be able to identify the code and will be unable to find an escape route to this. It is also unrecognizable by diagnostics, as no radio signals are transmitted and it cannot be detected by RF scanner technology that was used to fool security systems in the past.
It is also weatherproof and can be connected to the vehicle's wiring at any point. As a result, it doesn't leave any marks or damage to your vehicle, making it a great choice for those who are concerned about their vehicles and want to increase their security.
The greatest thing about it is that there are no signals sent. This means that thieves cannot see if they have cracked the security device, or try to get around it. It's a great option to protect any car owner, 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 the use of a key fob or special pin code to deactivate the ghost immobiliser, it operates in a silent manner and doesn't emit any radio signals. It connects directly to the CAN data bus, meaning that thieves will have a very difficult time trying to identify its presence in your vehicle. The immobiliser won't be able to start your car until you enter the correct PIN sequence. This can only be done by pressing a series of buttons in a certain sequence. This is easily managed through the app.
This makes it more secure than immobilisers that utilize an active system. In these systems the immobiliser can only disconnect the ECU in the event that the key is present with an active signal. These systems can be turned off with a tag or keypad, by entering a pin number into the keypad, or by pressing a specific sequence of buttons. The ghost immobiliser cannot be disabled this way. If your car is stolen or tow-away, you won't be able drive it back until the pin number is entered.
The ghost immobiliser has been designed to be resistant to the most sophisticated theft techniques, like copying. 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 was specifically designed to block this by creating a unique pin code for every time you wish to start your car, meaning that it is not possible to start your car using any key that is cloned or overriding system.
Additionally, the CAN-Immobiliser is a great protection against signal boosters and is often used by thieves to defeat the factory-fitted immobilisers. This means it is one of the most reliable and effective immobilisers we install at Progressive Parts.

It has an "Service Mode" that allows you to drive your vehicle temporarily without the need for an PIN code. This is useful if your guests or valet drivers wish to drive your car.
No Circuit Cuts
In recent years, vehicle theft has increased due to organised thieves use sophisticated diagnostics tools to identify security systems. The Ghost is specifically designed for this for this purpose. It cannot be detected through any diagnostics and works in a silent manner 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 begin. This means that a burglar cannot simply change a key or replace the ECU in order to take your vehicle, they will need to enter the correct pin code prior to entering.
The system also has an option for service valet that allows your car to start and drive without the need for your personal PIN.
