Ghost Immobiliser 2

Secures your vehicle from key cloning, and stops thieves from driving your vehicle with original keys. Our latest immobiliser is connected to the CAN data network in your vehicle and a unique pin must be entered to start the engine.

Unlike trackers Ghost does not transmit any radio frequency signals and can't be detected by diagnostic tools. There are also no indicators in the form of LEDs or buttons that give the impression that it is in your car or van.

Anti-key Cloning

The ghost immobiliser was created to fight key hacking and cloning. The device connects to the CAN data network of your vehicle and creates a unique pin code push sequence using the buttons that are factory-installed on your dashboard and steering wheel. This prevents the thief being able start your vehicle. If the wrong PIN is entered, it will stop the engine from starting which makes it impossible to drive off with your joy and pride.

Ghost immobilisers employ a new technology which is very difficult for thieves to defeat. Unlike physical deterrents like wheel locks and steering locks that can be cut or jacked the ghost immobiliser is a discrete electronic device that can't be detected by common thieves, as it doesn't emit any radio signals and is completely silent.

The new generation of immobiliser is capable of protecting your vehicle from a variety of threats like key-hacking, cloned keys and relay attacks. It is also able to stop thieves from acquiring the new key or replacing your ECU by ensuring that it does not allow them to start your car without entering the correct PIN code before entering.

Unlike other immobilisers, the ghost immobiliser 2 doesn't require a remote or key fobs for operation. It can be turned off by using an app on the smartphone of the driver. This makes it perfect for those occasions when you need to hand your car over to valet parking or maintenance without key fobs.

The Autowatch Ghost-II is the latest evolution of our ground-breaking 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 linking the Ghost-II with the vehicle's CAN data network, meaning there aren't any wires that can be hidden or easily discovered. It also features a built-in feature that allows users to deactivate their Ghost-II by connecting to the vehicle's Bluetooth and you'll be able to go out and drive hassle free.

OBD port hacking

OBD port hacking has become the latest method used by professional car thieves. Thieves are able to access your vehicle's OBD port with little more than a laptop, an application and a few cables, which can be purchased online for under PS50. Once they have access to your vehicle's OBD port, they are able to do whatever they want including changing fault codes and tuning your vehicle to taking away your pride and joy in less than a minute.

If you have a Ghost immobiliser fitted it can prevent your car from being stolen with this method by needing a unique PIN code sequence is entered into your key fob in order to start the engine and then drive away. It does this by communicating with the vehicles ECU (Engine Control Unit) on the CAN Data circuit and is totally undetectable to any RF scanning or code grabbing technology. It also includes a Service/Valet mode that will allow your vehicle to be started without needing the PIN code.

To make use of an OBD hacking device you require a laptop that has software capable of interpreting the OBD protocol. These is available for less than PS100 on eBay or Amazon. Also, you will require a cable that has OBD pins connected to CAN Bus. These cables can be bought on Amazon/Ebay around PS50. The next step is to connect the cable into the wiring harness of your car for example, the radio wiring harness.

Once the hacker has a connection to your vehicle's OBD port, they can send diagnostics to the system at high baud rates that can crash the CAN and block systems in your car from functioning. This could cause your car's engine to stall or even lock up.

No need for additional remotes or key fobs

The car immobiliser is a fantastic piece of anti-theft technology that is utilized by millions of modern cars across the globe. An aftermarket immobiliser safeguards your vehicle with engine ECU software that blocks cars from starting when a false transponder is transmitted.

It is possible for thieves, if they know the code that disables an immobiliser, and bypass it. A burglar could easily remove the battery from many key fobs by removing them. They can then use an easy tool to take out the internal circuit board from an immobiliser and replace it with a blank. They will then be able start your car.

The TASSA approved Ghost 2 is an immobiliser that doesn't require additional keys or remotes. The immobiliser communicates directly with the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit). This is done 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 have a traditional keyfob with LED indicator, so it is invisible.

There will be instances when you need to deactivate Autowatch Ghost 2's automatic protection for example, when you are doing a valet parking or service job. The ghost CAN immobiliser has a dedicated mode for this, called 'Service Mode which can be activated with pressing a button on your smartphone. The car is still operational, but the maximum speed is limited to 36mph.

If you'd like more information about the TASSA certified ghost immobiliser, contact us now to schedule an appointment in our workshop. A member of the team will provide an in-depth explanation of the system's operation and provide you with owner's manuals, installation certificate, Ghost 2 emergency card and security guarantee.

Simple PIN code Change Process

Ghost is the latest generation of device that locks your car without cutting wires, or installing aftermarket key fobs. It connects directly to the vehicle's CAN data network and a unique PIN code is programmed in it via buttons on your steering wheel and dash. The device does not emit RF signals, therefore it is not able to be tampered with. This makes it difficult to be detected using sophisticated scans of RF and code-grabbing technologies that are used by modern thieves.

The PIN code can be changed to block earlier drivers or include an override number if you forget the sequence. During installation, the installer will demonstrate how to accomplish this. The system includes a valet mode feature that allows you to temporarily disable pin input sequences so that the mechanic or garage can service the vehicle without knowing the pin number. This is great for customers who wish to surrender their vehicle for valet parking or service, but still don't want to divulge the PIN sequence.

Contrary to Thatcham products which require additional key fobs to operate, Ghost is a discreet system which takes advantage of the buttons on your car to create a unique and interchangeable PIN code sequence. The sequence is entered using the smartphone app. No extra LED indicators are thrown, and your vehicle is protected without possibility of being disabled.

Tested for every vehicle

A ghost immobiliser, in contrast to key fobs which require pressing buttons, is discreetly placed under the dash or on the steering wheel. You won't even know it's there. The device is connected to the CAN network of your vehicle and a PIN number can be programmed using the buttons on your car. The system won't permit your vehicle to start until this code what is a ghost immobiliser entered. This means that thieves can't duplicate the keys of your car or access the OBD to hack into it.

Ghost can be fitted in all vehicles, including electric cars, vans motorhomes, and bikes. It is also extremely versatile and can be programmed to turn off in a variety of situations. For example, it can be programmed to enter Valet mode when the vehicle is being taken to a valet parking or service company. This means that your car can be operated within a specified 30mph speed limit. The ghost immobiliser will activate itself once it is returned to your property.

The device can be reset at any time using your personal PIN number. This is great in the event that you lose the code, or in the event that the device becomes unusable.

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 it sends to identify which button was activated. This makes it a completely safe and reliable security solution that cannot be compromised by jamming, RF scanning or door lock pick sets.
