Autowatch ghost 2 immobiliser review Immobiliser Fitter
Car thieves are getting more sophisticated and smarter, so technology has to change to keep up. Autowatch Ghost immobiliser uses your car's buttons that are located on the steering wheel and central console to create an individual pincode sequence that needs to be entered prior to driving your car.
The device is unnoticeable to thieves, it uses CAN data and doesn't have circuit cuts so is a very safe, easy to install system. RCA Cheadle is an approved Ghost immobiliser installer and a member of TASSA.
No Key Fobs or LED Indications
Autowatch Ghost is an immobiliser using CAN that protects your vehicle against key-cloning and theft. It is silently operated and integrated into your vehicle's CAN network.
It creates a unique, variable PIN code sequence (up to 20 presses) by pressing the buttons on your car's steering wheel and door panels that need to be entered before you are able to drive. This is the same system that you use to access your mobile banking or credit card and can be changed at any point. It can be done in a matter of seconds using your smartphone and the app you downloaded. If you prefer using your keyfob.
This is a key aspect of the system which thieves will find difficult to crack or decipher since it doesn't require extra electronics such as the key fob. This means that there is no way the thief would know the code and will have a difficult time finding an escape route to this. It's also unrecognizable by diagnostics as there are no radio signals being sent out and can't be detected by RF scanning technology that has been used to spoof the security systems of the past few years.
It's also weatherproof and fits inside the form of a small waterproof device that can be connected into the wiring harness of your vehicle at any point within your vehicle. It will not harm or leave marks on your vehicle and is an ideal choice for those who are concerned about their cars and want to improve their security.
This is the greatest benefit of all - because there aren't any signals being sent that would make it impossible for thieves to see that they have hacked your security device and to try and find ways to bypass it. It's a great security feature for any car owner, especially since criminals are focusing their attention on the latest cars with their advanced technology.
No Radio Signals
As mentioned, unlike other security devices for vehicles that require an ID card or specific pin code to disable, the ghost immobiliser works in a silent manner and doesn't emit any radio signals. It is connected directly to the CAN bus, which means thieves will have a difficult time finding its presence. The immobiliser won't be able to start your car until you enter the right PIN sequence. This is only possible by pressing a set of buttons in a particular order. This can be easily controlled through the application.
This makes it much safer than immobilisers that employ an active system. In these systems the immobiliser will only disconnect the ECU if the key is paired with an active signal. These systems can be disabled by tapping on the receiver with tags, entering the pin number on the keypad or pressing a specific sequence of buttons on a screen. However, the ghost immobiliser cannot be disabled in this way, so if you have your car towed or stolen, you'll not be capable of driving it back until you enter the correct pin code.
The ghost immobiliser has been designed to be resistant to the most sophisticated theft techniques, such as cloning. 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. However the CAN immobiliser was designed to prevent this, as it creates a unique pin number each time you want to start your car. This means that it won't be possible to start your vehicle using any key that is cloned or overriding system.
The CAN immobiliser also offers an excellent defense against signal boosters, which are commonly used by thieves to bypass standard factory-fitted security systems.
