Ghost Immobiliser 2
Secures your vehicle from key cloning and prevents thieves from driving your vehicle with original keys. Our most recent immobiliser connects to your vehicle's CAN data network and a unique PIN has to be entered to start the engine.
Ghost unlike trackers, doesn't emit radio frequency signals, and therefore cannot be detected by diagnostic tools. It does not have any LED indicators or buttons that would signal its presence in your van or car.
Anti-key Cloning
The ghost immobiliser was created to fight key cloning and hacking. This device connects with your vehicle's CAN data network and creates an unique pin code using the factory buttons on your dashboard and steering. This prevents thieves from being capable of starting your car. If the wrong PIN is entered, it will stop your engine from starting and making it impossible to drive off with joy and pride.
A ghost immobiliser uses a new technology which is very difficult for thieves to defeat. The ghost immobiliser is different from physical deterrents such as wheel locks and steering locks that are able to be cut, is a discrete electronic device. It isn't identified by thieves since it doesn't emit radio signals and is operated in a silent manner.
This next-generation immobiliser will protect your car against a variety of threats, including key hacking relay attacks, key hacking and copied copies. It also stops thieves from stealing keys or replacing your ECU since it will not allow them to start your vehicle without entering the correct PIN code.
The ghost immobiliser 2 unlike other immobilisers, does not require a remote control or key fob to operate. It can be turned off by the driver's smartphone by using a simple app. This is ideal when you have to hand your car to valet parking or maintenance without keys.
The Autowatch Ghost-II is the latest version of our groundbreaking ghost immobiliser. It was designed to be as easy and convenient to use as is possible, yet remains as secure as ever. This is achieved by integrating the Ghost-II with the vehicle's CAN data network, which means there are no extra wires that are able to be hidden or easily spotted. It has an inbuilt feature that allows users to disable the Ghost-II simply by connecting it to your vehicle's Bluetooth.
OBD port hacking
OBD port hacking is a new technique employed by professional auto thieves to steal cars. Thieves are able to access your vehicle's OBD port with little more than a laptop, an app, and a few cables which can be purchased on the internet for less than PS50. Once they have access, they can do anything they want including resetting your vehicle's fault codes to tuning your car, or even stealing it within a matter of minutes.
It can prevent your car from being stolen by requiring a unique PIN code to be entered with your key fob prior to you start the engine or drive away. It does this by communicating with the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) on the CAN Data circuit, and is completely undetectable to any scan or code grabbing technology. It also has a Service/Valet Mode that allows your vehicle to start with no PIN code.
To utilize an OBD hacking device you need to have a laptop with software capable of reading the OBD protocol. These is available for less than PS100 on eBay or Amazon. You will also need a cable with OBD pins that connect to the CAN bus. These can be purchased on Amazon or Ebay for around PS50. The cable needs to be connected to the wiring harness of your car, for example the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker has established a connection to your vehicles OBD port, they are able to send diagnostics requests to the system at high baud rates which can cause CAN to crash and block systems in your car from working. This could cause the engine to stall, doors to lock and even the brakes to activate.
There is no need for additional remotes or key fobs
A car immobiliser is great piece of anti theft technology that is used by millions of modern vehicles around the globe. Utilizing engine ECU software to stop cars from starting if a false transponder signal is transmitted to it an aftermarket immobiliser is a great way to protect your vehicle.
It is possible for thieves, if they know the code to deactivate an immobiliser, and bypass it. The batteries in the majority of key fobs can be removed by removing it, so a thief can use a simple tool to take out the immobiliser's circuit board and replace it with an empty. Then, they will be able to start your car.
The TASSA approved Ghost 2 is an immobiliser that doesn't require additional keys or remotes. The immobiliser connects directly to the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit). This is accomplished by a discrete and silent CAN data loop that 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, which means it is able to go unnoticed at sight.
It is possible to disable Autowatch's Ghost 2 auto protection at certain times, such as during valet parking or a service. The ghost CAN immobiliser has a special mode to do this, referred to 'Service Mode that can be activated with pressing an app on your smartphone. The car is still operational however, the maximum speed is limited to 36 mph.
Contact us today to set up a demonstration at our workshop. A member of the team will provide an in-depth explanation of the system's operation and will provide you with owner's manuals, installation certificates, Ghost 2 emergency card and security assurance.
Simple process to change the PIN code
Ghost is a next generation device that secures your vehicle without cutting wires or putting in aftermarket key fobs. It is directly connected to the vehicle's CAN data network. A personalised PIN can be created using buttons on the steering wheel and dash. The device does not emit RF signals, so it cannot be bypassed. This makes ghost immobiliser near me it undetectable by sophisticated scanning or code grabbing technology that modern thieves employ.
The PIN code sequence can be changed anytime you want to lock out previous drivers. It even comes with an override code incase of lost sequences. The installer will demonstrate how to do this during installation. The system also has the option of a valet mode that can be used to temporarily disable the pin input sequence to allow your mechanic or garage can repair the car without having to know the pin code. This is a great choice for those who do not want their PIN sequence to be revealed but still want to leave their car with valet parking or service.
Ghost is an unobtrusive system that utilizes the buttons on your car to create an individual and interchangeable PIN sequence. This sequence is entered using the smartphone app, meaning no extra LED indications are being thrown, and your vehicle is secure and safe from the possibility of being blocked by hackers or other technology.
Tested for each vehicle
In contrast to key fobs that require you to press buttons on them the ghost immobiliser is discreetly installed under your steering wheel or dash to make sure you are unaware it's even there. The device is connected to the CAN network of your vehicle and a PIN number can be programmed by using the buttons on your car. The system will not allow your vehicle to start until this code is entered. This means that thieves can't duplicate your keys or access the OBD port to hack your vehicle.
Ghost can be utilized in all vehicles, including electric cars motorhomes, vans, motorhomes and bikes. It's also extremely flexible and can be programmed to deactivate in various scenarios. It can be programmed to go into Valet mode, for example, when the vehicle is taken to a valet service or parking company. This allows you to drive your vehicle within the 30mph limit and the ghost immobiliser will turn on itself when the vehicle returns to your home.
Another great feature is that the device can be reset to your personal PIN code at any point. This is useful in the event that you forget your code or the device is inoperable and is as good as new again.
The device is also completely inaccessible to anyone who doesn't even know what it is. It does this by analyzing the buttons on your steering wheel and dashboard and then using the information it sends to determine the button that was activated. This makes it a secure and reliable security option that isn't affected by jamming, RF scanning or door lock pick sets.
