Ghost Immobiliser 2
Guards your vehicle from key cloning and stops thieves from driving your vehicle with original keys. Our latest immobiliser is connected to your vehicles CAN data network & a unique PIN code must be entered in order for the engine to start.
In contrast to trackers, Ghost does not transmit radio frequency signals and can’t be detected using diagnostics tools. It does not have any LED indicators or buttons to signal its presence in your vehicle or van.
Anti-key Cloning
The ghost ii immobiliser immobiliser was developed to prevent key cloning. This device is connected to your vehicle’s CAN data network and creates a unique pin number by using the factory buttons on your dashboard and steering. This prevents the thief from being capable of starting your car. If the incorrect PIN is entered, it will stop the engine from starting and making it impossible to drive off with joy and pride.
Ghost immobilisers are new technology that is extremely hard for thieves to beat. Unlike physical deterrents like wheel locks and steering locks that can be cut or taken the ghost immobiliser is a discrete electronic device that isn’t recognized by ordinary thieves, as it doesn’t emit radio signals and works silently.
This next generation immobiliser is equipped to shield your car from a variety of threats including cloned keys, key-hacking and relay attacks. It can also stop thieves from stealing keys or replacing your ECU as it won’t allow them to start the vehicle without entering the correct PIN code.
The ghost immobiliser 2 unlike other immobilisers does not require an external remote or key fob to operate. It can be turned off by using an app on the driver’s smartphone. This is ideal when you need to give your car to valet parking or maintenance without keys.
The Autowatch Ghost-II represents the latest version of the Ghost’s immobiliser. It is designed to be as easy and user-friendly as is possible, yet remains as secure as ever. This is accomplished by integrating the Ghost-II with the vehicle’s CAN data network, which means there aren’t any wires that are able to be hidden or easily spotted. It has built-in features that allow users to disable the Ghost-II simply by connecting to the vehicle’s Bluetooth.
OBD port hacking
OBD port hacking has become the latest method used by professional car thieves. Thieves have access to your vehicle’s OBD with a laptop, a mobile application, and a few cables that are available online for less than PS50. Once they have access, they are able to do whatever they want including resetting your vehicle’s fault codes to tuning your car, or even stealing it in under a minute.
If you have a Ghost immobiliser fitted it can protect your vehicle from theft with this method by requiring that a unique PIN code sequence is entered on your key fob to start the engine and then drive away. It does this by interacting with the vehicle’s ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN Data circuit, and is completely undetectable to any scan or code grabbing technology. It even has a Service/Valet mode which allows your vehicle to start without the need for a PIN code.
To use an OBD hacking device, you’ll need to have a laptop that has software capable of reading the OBD protocol. These can be bought for less than PS100 on eBay or Amazon. You’ll also require an OBD cable that has OBD pins that are connected to the CAN bus. These can be found on Amazon/Ebay for around PS50. The cable must be connected to the wiring harness of your car, for example the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker gains access to the OBD port on your vehicle, they can send diagnostics to the system at a high baud rate which can cause a crash to the car’s CAN and prevent the systems from working. This could cause your car’s engine to stop or shut down.
No need to purchase additional remotes or key fobs
The car immobiliser is a fantastic piece of anti-theft technology utilized by millions of modern cars all over the world. Utilizing engine ECU software to prevent cars from starting if a fake transponder signal is detected by it an aftermarket immobiliser can be an excellent method of protecting your vehicle.
However, it is simple for a burglar to get around an immobiliser system if they have access to the code to deactivate it. A burglar could easily take the battery off of most key fobs by squeezing them open. They could then employ an instrument to remove the internal circuit board of an immobiliser and replace it with a blank. They will then be in a position to start your vehicle.
With the TASSA approved Ghost 2 immobiliser, there are no additional keys or remotes required. The immobiliser communicates directly with the vehicle’s ECU (Engine Control Unit). This is done through a discrete, silent data loop in the CAN which cannot be detected by diagnostic tools like those used by high-tech thieves. It does not also use a traditional key-fob with LED indicators, meaning it can go undetected in plain sight.
It is possible to disable Autowatch’s Ghost 2 auto protection at certain times like during valet parking or a service. The ghost CAN immobiliser comes with a specific mode for this, referred to as ‘Service Mode that can be activated with just a push of an app on your smartphone. The car can still be operated however, its maximum speed will be limited to 36mph for added security.
If you’d like more information about the TASSA accredited ghost immobiliser, please contact us today to arrange an appointment in our workshop. A member of our team will provide the entire process of how the system works and provide you with your owner’s manuals, installation certificate, Ghost 2 emergency card and a security guarantee.
Simple change of PIN code
Ghost is a next generation device that secures your vehicle without cutting wires or adding aftermarket key fobs. It is directly connected to the vehicle’s CAN data network. A personalised PIN can be programmed using buttons on the dash and steering wheel. The device does not emit RF signals, so it is not able to be tampered with. This makes it undetectable by sophisticated scans using RF or code-grabbing technologies that modern thieves use.
The PIN code sequence can be changed whenever you wish to block prior drivers, and it even has an override code in the event of a sequence that is not remembered. The installer will guide you through the process to do this during installation. The system also includes a valet mode feature which can be used to temporarily disable the pin input sequence to allow your garage or mechanic can service the vehicle without needing to know the code. This is great for customers who wish to surrender their car to valet parking or service but don’t want to give away the PIN sequence.
Contrary to Thatcham products which require additional key fobs to operate, ghost alarm installation near me is a discreet system that uses the buttons on your car to create a unique interchangeable PIN code sequence. This sequence is entered through the app on your smartphone. No additional LED indicators are used, and your car is secured without chance of being disabled.
Tested for every vehicle
Ghost immobilisers, unlike key fobs that require pressing buttons, is discretely installed under the dash or on the steering wheel. Only you will know it’s there. The device is connected to your vehicle’s CAN network, and a PIN code can be programmed using buttons on your vehicle. The system will not allow your car to start until this code is entered. This means that thieves are unable to duplicate your keys or access the OBD port to hack your vehicle.
Ghost is a great option for all vehicles that use electric vehicles motorhomes, vans, and bicycles. It’s also extremely versatile and can be set to deactivate in various situations. It can be programmed to enter Valet mode, for instance, when the vehicle is transferred to a valet service or parking company. This allows you to drive your car within a 30mph speed limit and the ghost immobiliser will activate itself when your vehicle is returned to your possession.
Another excellent feature is that the device can be reset to the personalized PIN code at any point. This is a great option if you lose the code, or when the device ceases to function.
It’s also worth noting that the device is completely unnoticeable to anyone who isn’t familiar with it. It works by running through the buttons on your car’s dashboard and steering wheel, and uses the data they transmit to identify the button that was activated. This makes it a secure and solid security system that is not able to be manipulated by RF scanning or jamming, or even a door lock pick set.
