Protect Your Car From Being Stolen With a Ghost Immobiliser

Many people put a lot of money and time into their cars. When they are stolen it can be a sad occasion.

Autowatch Ghost is a brand new generation device that protects your vehicle without the need for alarms or immobiliser key fobs. It is connected to the Can data network of your vehicle and the pin code has to be entered to begin the vehicle.

CAN Bus Immobiliser

Modern cars come with a variety of systems that are all connected. To communicate with one another, they use a standard system known as the Controller Area Network (CAN). The CAN bus has multiple layers each with its own set of rules for the types of signals that can be sent to which ECUs the same time. It's this system that criminals exploit to gain access to cars and do whatever they want with it.

There are a variety of methods to attack the CAN and that's the reason there are a myriad of methods used by car thieves. The one that's likely to be most effective is known as a 'relay attack'. This works by sending a signal via the key to a transmitter that's inside the car, telling it to open the doors and then start up.

But this isn't completely foolproof. You can stop a relay by placing an object between the vehicle's CAN system and the relay. The device will intercept the signal from the CAN system and transmit its own spoofed message to an ECU on the vehicle's data bus. This trick will fool the other ECU into believing that there is a valid key and will permit it to unlock and start the engine.

Even the most sophisticated immobilisers will not stop this kind of theft when thieves are able to get around them. Automakers are therefore working on new methods to guard their vehicles from them. A solution is to add layers of security to the CAN system. This is expensive and might not be effective.

Other options include altering the hardware of the car by changing the firmware or installing aftermarket software. This can be a challenge to accomplish without jeopardizing the security of the vehicle. One expert has figured out how to protect your car from the most common types of theft.

Dr Ken Tindell, of Canis Automotive Labs recently posted a blog post about his work as a detective to find out the reason for his Toyota RAV4 had been stolen at night. The answer turned out to be a very simple technique that relies on the headlights of the vehicle. The headlights are linked to the CAN system by wiring that can be easily accessed by a thief with a small tool.

No Key Fobs

Modern cars no longer require physical keys to open the doors or start the engine. To do this, they use electronic fobs that emit a signal. There's been a recent uptick in thefts from this technique that involves thieves using portable amplifiers to boost the signals of the fobs in order to gain access to vehicles and steal valuables inside.

This is the reason it's essential to do everything you can to protect your vehicle. This includes locking your garage, parking it in a safe location and installing security cameras. CCTV cameras can in preventing theft and aid police in locating them after they've stolen your vehicle.

Another great option is to have an immobiliser ghost installed in your vehicle. This will prevent thieves from stealing your car and stopping the engine from beginning. The Autowatch Ghost is a next-generation device that uses your vehicle's CAN data network to secure the engine without the need to install additional hardware or alter the hardware of your vehicle. The device is mounted on the dash and linked to the CAN data of your vehicle using the personal pin code programmed into it through buttons on the console and the steering wheel. It will only allow the vehicle to start if the correct pin code is first entered.

A burglar might also attempt to remove the ECU and install a new one in the place of the original, but this will require cutting wires and removing components from the dashboard. This is a time-consuming and risky undertaking. This modification is also difficult to be detected by a burglar because the ghost immobiliser car does not transmit any signals similar to other security devices.

This technology is becoming more commonplace as a lot of manufacturers are adding it to their vehicles particularly in luxury cars such as Porsche or Mercedes. This will not only increase the value of your resales but it will also give you peace of mind while driving your car.
