Ghost Immobiliser 2
Secures your vehicle from key cloning and prevents thieves from driving it using your original keys. Our most recent immobiliser connects to your vehicle's data network, CAN, and the unique PIN code needs to be entered in order for the engine to start.
Ghost unlike trackers, doesn't emit radio frequency signals and cannot be identified by diagnostic tools. Ghost does not have LED indicators or buttons to indicate its presence in your van or car.
Anti-key cloning
The Ghost immobiliser was designed to prevent key cloning. This device is connected to your vehicle's CAN data network and creates a unique pin code using the factory buttons in your dashboard and steering. This prevents the thief from being able to start your vehicle. If the wrong PIN code is entered, the engine will not be started and it will be impossible for them to drive away with your pride and joy.
Ghost immobilisers employ new technology that is very difficult for thieves to defeat. In contrast to physical deterrents such as wheel locks and steering locks which can be cut or taken the ghost immobiliser is a discrete electronic device that can't be recognized by ordinary thieves since it doesn't emit radio signals and is completely silent.
This next-generation immobiliser will protect your car against a variety of threats, such as key-hacking, relay attacks and cloned copies. It also stops a thief adding a key or replacing your ECU because it won't permit them to start your car without first entering the correct PIN.
Contrary to other immobilisers, the ghost immobiliser 2 does NOT require a key fobs or remotes to operate. It is deactivable by using an app on the smartphone of the driver. ghost immobiliser installers near me makes it ideal for those times when you have to give your car over to valet parking or servicing without key fobs.
The Autowatch Ghost-II is the latest evolution of our ground-breaking ghost immobiliser. It was designed to make it as simple and easy to use and yet be as secure as is possible. This is achieved by linking the Ghost-II with the vehicle's CAN data network, meaning there are no wires that can be hidden or easily found. It comes with an inbuilt feature that allows you to deactivate the Ghost-II simply by connecting it to the vehicle's Bluetooth.
OBD port hacking
OBD port hacking is the newest method employed by professional auto thieves to steal cars. Thieves can access your vehicle's OBD port with little more than an laptop, an app, and a few cables, which can be purchased online for less than PS50. Once they have access, they can do anything they like to do, from resetting your vehicle's fault codes to tuning your car, or even stealing it in under a minute.
If you have a Ghost immobiliser, it can protect your vehicle from theft with this method by needing a unique PIN code sequence is entered alongside your key fob to start the engine and then drive away. It communicates with the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN Data Circuit. It is not detected by any scanning technology, RF or code grabbing. It also includes a Service/Valet mode that will allow your vehicle to start without the need for a PIN code.
To use an OBD hacking device, you'll require a laptop with software capable of interpreting the OBD protocol, which can be bought for less than PS100 on eBay or Amazon. You will also need a cable with OBD pins that are connected to the CAN bus. These can be purchased on Amazon or Ebay for about PS50. The next step is to connect the cable into the wire harness of your car for example, in the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker has gained a connection to your vehicles OBD port, they can send diagnostics to the system at high baud rates which will crash the CAN and block systems in your vehicle from functioning. This could cause the engine to stall, doors to lock and even the brakes to activate.
No need to purchase additional remotes or key fobs
An immobiliser for your car is a fantastic piece of anti-theft technology that is used by millions of modern vehicles all over the world. An aftermarket immobiliser safeguards your vehicle by using engine ECU software that stops vehicles from starting when a false transponder is transmitted.
It is possible for a criminal to have the code to disable an immobiliser, and bypass it. The batteries in the majority of key fobs can be easily removed by prying it open, so a thief can make use of a simple tool to take out the immobiliser's circuit board and replace it with a blank. Then, they'll be able to start your car.
The TASSA approved Ghost 2 is an immobiliser that does not require any additional keys or remotes. The immobiliser communicates with vehicle's engine ECU (Engine Control Unit) via a discrete and silent data circuit in CAN that is undetectable with diagnostic tools, such as the ones used by high-tech thieves. It doesn't come with a traditional keyfob that has an LED indicators, so it's inaccessible.
You may have to turn off Autowatch's Ghost 2 automatic protection at certain times like during valet parking or a service. Ghost CAN immobilisers come with a feature called 'Service Mode that you can activate by just a click of a phone button. The car is still operable, but the maximum speed is limited to 36 mph.
Contact us today to arrange an appointment for a demonstration in our workshop. A member of the team will run through the entire process of the system's operation and will provide you with owner manuals, installation certification, Ghost 2 emergency card and security guarantee.
Simple PIN code change process
Ghost is the next-generation device that locks your car without cutting wires or installing key fobs from an aftermarket. It connects directly to your vehicle's CAN data network and a personal PIN code is programmed into it via buttons on your steering wheel and dash. The device does not emit RF signals, therefore it cannot be bypassed. This makes it impossible to detect by sophisticated scans of RF and code-grabbing techniques that are used by modern thieves.
The PIN code can be changed to lock out previous drivers, or even add an override number if you forget the sequence. When installing, the installer will demonstrate how to accomplish this. The system also has a valet mode feature which can be used to temporarily disable the pin input sequence to allow your mechanic or garage can repair the car without needing to know the pin code. This is great for customers who wish to surrender their car to valet parking or service but still don't want to divulge the PIN sequence.
Ghost is an individual system that utilizes the buttons on your car to create an unique and interchangeable PIN sequence. This sequence is entered via the smartphone application. No extra LED indicators are thrown out, and your car will be protected without any chance of being disabled.
Tested for every vehicle
Unlike key fobs that require you to press buttons on them, a 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 in your vehicle and a PIN code can be programmed using the buttons on your car. The system won't allow your car to start until the code is entered. This means that thieves cannot duplicate the keys on your car or gain access to the OBD port to gain access to your vehicle.
Ghost can be fitted in any vehicle, including electric cars, motorhomes, vans, and bikes. It's also incredibly versatile and can be programmed to shut down in a variety of situations. It can be programmed to go into Valet mode, for instance when your vehicle is transferred to a valet service or parking company. This allows you to drive your vehicle within a 30mph speed limit and the ghost immobiliser will start to activate itself when your vehicle returns to your possession.
The device can be reset at any time using your personal PIN code. This is a great option if you lose the code or when the device ceases to function.
It's also important to note that the device is completely inaccessible to those who aren't familiar with it. It does this by running through the buttons on your steering wheel and dashboard and analyzing the data they send in order to identify the exact button that was pressed. This makes it a safe and solid security system that is not able to be manipulated by RF scanning or jamming, or a door lock pick set.
