No Key Fobs or LED Indications
Autowatch Ghost is an immobiliser using CAN that safeguards your vehicle from key-cloning and theft. It operates silently and integrated into the CAN network of your car.
It creates a unique, changeable PIN code sequence (up to 20 presses) using the buttons on your car's steering wheel and door panels that must be entered before you can drive. This is 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 within a matter of minutes using your smartphone and the app you downloaded. Or, if you prefer, you can use your keyfob.
This is a crucial characteristic of the system which thieves will find it difficult to break or understand because it doesn't require extra electronics such as the key fob. As such, there is no way thieves will be able to identify the code and will struggle to find ways to get around this. It is also inaccessible to diagnostics, as no radio signals are transmitted and it is not 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 wiring of your vehicle at any point. It will not harm or leave marks on your vehicle which makes it an excellent choice for those who are worried about their cars and want to increase their security.
The most appealing aspect is that there aren't any signals being sent. This means that thieves can't tell whether they have broken the security device, or try to bypass it. It's an excellent option to protect any car owner, particularly since criminals are focusing their attention on the latest cars with their advanced technology.
No Radio Signals
As previously mentioned, unlike other vehicle safety devices that require a key fob, or pin code, to deactivate them, the ghost immobiliser operates in a silent manner and doesn't emit radio signals. It connects directly to the CAN data bus, meaning that thieves will have a difficult time trying to locate its presence in your vehicle. The immobiliser will not 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 certain order - and this is easily managed by the app.
This makes it a lot more secure than other immobilisers that use passive systems, where the immobiliser will only shut off the ECU from power if the key is present and there is an active signal on the board. These 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 can't be disabled in this way, so if you have your car tow-ed or stolen, you'll not be able to drive it back until you enter the correct pin code.
The ghost immobiliser has been made to be resistant to the most sophisticated theft methods such as cloning. This is because thieves may attempt to duplicate your key fob or even hack your vehicle's ECU in order to override the security. However the CAN immobiliser has been designed to prevent this from happening, since it generates an individual pin code each time you want to start your car. This means that it is not possible to start your vehicle using any key that is cloned or overriding system.
The CAN immobiliser also provides an excellent defense against signal boosters, which are commonly used by thieves to evade factory-fitted security systems. This makes it one of the most reliable and efficient immobilisers we ghost immobiliser installer install at Progressive Parts.

The Ghost is designed to counter this by not making circuit cuts, it is inaccessible to any diagnostics and operates silently on the vehicles CAN data circuit. It connects to the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) and a unique PIN code is entered that must be entered before the engine will start.
