No key fobs or LED indicators
The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN-based immobiliser designed to safeguard your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and key theft. It is integrated into your car's CAN data network and is silently operated, so that it's undetectable and cannot be harmed through simple wire cutting.
The buttons on the steering wheel and the door panels of your vehicle generate an individual, reusable PIN code (up to 20 presses) that 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 changed at any point. You can do this within a matter of minutes with your smartphone and the app you downloaded. If you prefer to use your keyfob.
This is a crucial aspect of the system that thieves will find difficult to crack or work out as it does not require any additional electronic devices like the key fob. This means that there is no way a thief will know what the code is and will struggle to find ways to get around this. It is also unrecognizable by diagnostics, as no radio signals are sent and it cannot be detected by RF scanners that were used to spoof security systems in the past.
It's also weatherproof and fits into a small, waterproof device that is plugged into the wiring harness of your vehicle at any point in your vehicle. It will not harm or leave marks on your vehicle which makes it an excellent choice for those who are concerned about their vehicles and want to improve their security.
This is the best part of all. Because there aren't any signals being sent, there is no way for thieves to determine that they have breached your security device and to try and find ways to get around it. It's a great addition to any car owner's security, especially as the latest cars are increasingly being targeted by criminals who are able to profit from the new technology in modern vehicles that are becoming more sophisticated.
No Radio Signals
As previously mentioned in contrast to other safety devices that require a key fob or pin code, to turn them off The ghost immobiliser operates in a silent manner and doesn't emit radio signals. It connects directly to the CAN data bus. This means that a thief would have a very difficult time trying to identify its presence in your vehicle. The immobiliser won't start your vehicle unless you enter the correct PIN sequence, which can only be done via a series of buttons that are pressed in a certain order - and this is easily managed via the app.
This makes it much safer than immobilisers that use an active system. In these systems, the immobiliser will only disconnect the ECU in the event that the key is paired with an active signal. The systems can be turned off by tapping on the receiver using a tag, typing in the pin number on the keypad or pressing a specific sequence of buttons on a display screen. The ghost immobiliser, however, can't be disabled in this manner. If your vehicle is stolen or towed away it will not be able to return it until the pin number is entered.
The ghost immobiliser has also been designed to be immune to the most sophisticated theft methods such as cloning. This is because thieves could attempt to duplicate your key fob, or even hack your vehicle's ECU to thwart the security. The CAN immobiliser prevents this by generating an unique pin code each time you start your vehicle. This means that any duplicate keys or systems for overriding are not able to function.
Additionally, the CAN-Immobiliser provides excellent protection against signal boosting and is often used by thieves to defeat the factory-fitted immobilisers. This makes it one of the most efficient and reliable immobilisers we fit at Progressive Parts.

The Ghost is designed to fight this by avoiding circuit cuts, it is completely unnoticeable by 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 which has to be entered before the engine will start.
