Ghost Immobiliser 2

Guards your vehicle against key cloning and stops thieves from driving your vehicle with your original keys. Our most recent immobiliser connects to your vehicle's data network via CAN and an individual PIN code has to be entered for the engine to start.

In contrast to trackers, Ghost does not transmit radio frequency signals and can't be detected with diagnostic tools. Also, it doesn't have any indicators in the form of LEDs or buttons that give the impression that it is in your vehicle or van.

Anti-key cloning

The Ghost immobiliser was designed to stop key cloning. This device is connected to your vehicle's data network CAN, and creates an unique pin code by using the factory buttons on your dashboard and steering. This prevents the thief being able to start your car. If the wrong PIN is entered, it will prevent the engine from starting and making it impossible for you to drive away with joy and pride.

Ghost immobilisers employ new technology that is very difficult for thieves to beat. Contrary to physical deterrents, such as wheel locks and steering locks that can be cut off or jacked the ghost immobiliser (talking to) is a discreet electronic device that can't be recognized by ordinary thieves since it doesn't emit any radio signals and works silently.

The next-generation immobiliser protects your car from a variety of threats, such as key-hacking relay attacks, key-hacking, and cloned copies. It is also able to prevent thieves from adding a new key or replacing your ECU by ensuring that it does not allow the vehicle to start without entering the correct PIN code before entering.

The ghost immobiliser 2 unlike other immobilisers, does not require a remote control or key fob to operate. It can be deactivated via the driver's mobile using a simple app. This makes it perfect for those times when you have to hand your car over for valet parking or maintenance without keys.

The Autowatch Ghost-II represents the latest version of the Ghost's immobiliser. It is designed to make it as simple and easy to use and yet be as secure as is possible. This is accomplished by integrating the Ghost-II into the vehicle's data network CAN, which means that there are no additional wires to hide or easily found. It comes with an inbuilt feature that allows you to deactivate the Ghost-II simply by connecting to the vehicle's Bluetooth.

OBD port hacking

OBD port hacking is the latest method being used by professional car thieves to steal cars. Thieves are able to access your vehicle's OBD port with little more than a laptop, an application and a few cables that can be bought online for under PS50. Once they have access, they can do whatever they want to do, from resetting your vehicle's fault codes, tuning your car, or even getting it stolen within a matter of minutes.

If you have an Ghost immobiliser, it can prevent your car from being stolen with this method by needing an unique PIN code sequence is entered into your key fob in order to start the engine and drive away. It does this by communicating with the vehicles ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN Data circuit, and is completely undetectable to any code grabbing or RF scanning technology. It has a Service/Valet Mode that allows your vehicle to start without requiring a PIN code.

You'll also require a cable with OBD pins that connect to the CAN bus. These cables are available on eBay and Amazon for around P50. Also, you will require a cable that has OBD pins that are connected to the CAN Bus. These cables can be bought on eBay or Amazon for PS50. You then need to splice the cable into the wire harness of your vehicle for example, the radio wiring harness.

Once the hacker gains access to the OBD port of your vehicle, they will send diagnostics to the system with high baud rate that will cause a crash of the car's CAN and prevent the system from functioning. This could cause your car's engine to stop or lock up.

No need to purchase additional remotes or key fobs

The car immobiliser is a great piece of anti-theft technology used by billions modern vehicles all over the world. An aftermarket immobiliser safeguards your vehicle through the use of engine ECU software that prevents cars from starting if an untrue transponder signal is sent.

However, it is easy for a thief to circumvent an immobiliser system when they have access to the code to deactivate it. A burglar could easily remove the battery from most key fobs by prying them open. They could then employ an easy tool to take out the internal circuit board of an immobiliser and replace it with blank. Then, they'll be able to start your vehicle.

The TASSA approved Ghost 2 is an immobiliser that does not require any additional keys or remotes. The immobiliser connects to the engine ECU (Engine Control Unit) via a discrete quiet CAN data circuit that is undetectable with diagnostic tools like the ones used by high-tech thieves. It also does not use a traditional key-fob with LED indicators, so it's not visible in plain sight.

There will be occasions where you have to disable Autowatch Ghost 2's auto ghost immobiliser-protection for instance, during a valet parking or service job. Ghost CAN immobilisers come with a feature called "Service Mode that you can activate by a simple push of a phone button. The car is still operable however, the maximum speed is limited to 36mph.

If you'd like to know more about the TASSA accredited ghost immobiliser, call us today to book an appointment in our workshop. A member of our team will explain how the system works and will give you a Ghost 2 emergency card, installation certificate, and security assurance.

Simple PIN code Change Process

Ghost is the latest generation of device that protects your car without cutting wires, or installing key fobs from an aftermarket. It connects directly to the vehicles CAN data network and a unique PIN code is programmed in it by pressing buttons on your steering wheel and the dash. The system prevents engine start and cannot be bypassed because no RF signals are emitted from the device. This makes it unrecognisable by sophisticated scanning or code grabbing technology that modern thieves employ.

The PIN code can be changed to block previous drivers, or even add an override code in case you forget the sequence. When installing the installer will show how to accomplish this. The system includes a valet mode feature that allows you to temporarily disable pin input sequences, so that your garage or mechanic can service the vehicle without having to know the code. This is ideal for those who want to hand over their car to valet parking / service but don't want to divulge the pin sequence.

Ghost is an unobtrusive system that utilizes the buttons on your car to create a unique and interchangeable PIN sequence. This sequence is entered through the smartphone app. There are no additional LED indicators are thrown out, and your vehicle will be protected without any risk of being disabled.

Tested for every vehicle

A ghost immobiliser, in contrast to key fobs that require pressing buttons, is discretely installed under the dash or steering wheel. You won't even know it's there. The device is connected to the car's CAN data networks and an individual PIN code is inserted using buttons that are already present on your car. The system will then stop your engine from starting unless this code has been entered before. This means that thieves can't clone your car's existing keys or access the OBD port to gain access to your vehicle.

Ghost can be installed in all vehicles, including electric vehicles, motorhomes, vans, and bikes. It's also incredibly versatile and can be programmed to turn off in various scenarios. It is possible to program it to enter Valet mode, for instance, when the vehicle is taken to a valet service or parking company. This means that your vehicle can be operated within a pre-determined 30mph speed limit. The ghost immobiliser will activate itself once it is returned to your possession.

The device can be reset at any time to your personal PIN code. This is helpful if you forget the code or the device is inoperable and is just as good as new.

The device is also completely unnoticed by anyone who doesn't know about it is. It works by running through existing buttons on the dashboard of your car and on the steering wheel, and uses the data they send to recognise the button that was hit. This makes it a completely secure and reliable security option that cannot be compromised by RF scanning, jamming or door lock pick sets.
