Ghost Immobiliser 2

Guards your vehicle from key cloning and stops thieves from driving the vehicle using original keys. Our most recent immobiliser connects to your vehicles CAN data network & the unique PIN code needs to be entered in order for the engine to start.

Unlike trackers Ghost doesn't transmit any radio frequency signals & can't be detected with diagnostic tools. Ghost does not have LED indicators or buttons that could signal its presence in your van or car.

Anti-key cloning

The ghost immobiliser has been designed to combat key hacking and cloning. This device is connected to your vehicle's data network CAN and creates an unique pin code using the factory buttons on your dashboard and steering. This prevents the thief from being able to start your car. If the wrong PIN code is entered, your engine cannot be started which makes it impossible for them to drive away with your joy and pride.

Ghost immobilisers employ a new technology which is very difficult for thieves to beat. The ghost immobiliser unlike physical deterrents, such as wheel locks and steering lock that can be cut, is a discrete electronic device. It's not even recognized by thieves as it does not emit radio signals and operates silently.

The next-generation immobiliser protects your car against a variety of threats, including key hacking, relay attacks and copied copies. It also stops the thief from adding a key or replacing your ECU because it won't permit them to start the car without first entering the correct PIN code.

The ghost immobiliser 2, unlike other immobilisers does not require an external remote or key fob to operate. It can be turned off through an app on the smartphone of the driver. This is perfect for when you need to give your car away for valet parking, or for maintenance without key fobs.

The Autowatch Ghost-II represents the latest version of the Ghost's immobiliser. It was designed to be as simple and user-friendly as possible, but remains as secure as ever. This is accomplished by linking the Ghost-II with the vehicle's CAN data network, meaning there are no extra wires that could be concealed or easily spotted. It also has a built-in feature that allows users to deactivate their Ghost-II by simply connecting to the vehicle's Bluetooth and you'll be able to get in and drive, with no hassle.

OBD port hacking

OBD port hacking is the latest method employed by professional auto thieves to steal cars. Thieves can gain access to your vehicle's OBD by using a laptop, a mobile app, and some cables that are available online for less than PS50. Once they have access, they will be able to do anything they want, from resetting your vehicle's fault codes to tuning your car, or even getting it stolen in less than a minute.

If you have an Ghost immobiliser fitted it can stop your car being stolen with this method by needing a unique PIN sequence is entered alongside your key fob to start the engine and drive away. It communicates with the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN Data Circuit. This is completely undetectable by any RF scanning technology or code grabbing. It comes with a Service/Valet mode that allows your vehicle to start without the PIN code.

You will also need a cable with OBD pins that are connected to the CAN bus. These cables can be found on Amazon/Ebay for around PS50. You'll also require cables with OBD pins which are connected to the CAN bus. These are available on eBay and Amazon for around PS50. Then, you need to splice the cable into the wire harness of your vehicle for example, in the radio wiring harness.

Once the hacker has gained access to the OBD port of your vehicle, they will send diagnostics to the system at a high baud rate which can cause a crash to the car's CAN and stop the system from functioning. This can cause the engine to stop and doors to lock, or even the brakes to be engaged.

No additional key fobs or remotes are required.

The car immobiliser is a great piece of anti-theft technology utilized by millions of modern cars all over the world. Using 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.

However, it could be easy for thieves to bypass an immobiliser system if they have access to the code to deactivate it. A thief could easily remove the battery from many key fobs by prying them open. They can then use an easy tool to take out the circuit board inside an immobiliser and replace it with blank. Then they will be in a position to start your vehicle.

The TASSA approved Ghost 2 is an immobiliser that doesn't require additional keys or remotes. The immobiliser is directly connected to the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit). This is accomplished via a discrete, quiet CAN data loop that is not detected by diagnostic tools such as the ones used by high-tech thieves. It also does not make use of a traditional key-fob that has LED indicators, which means it's not visible in plain sight.

You may have to turn off Autowatch's Ghost 2 automatic protection at certain times, such as during valet parking or a service job. Ghost immobiliser problems CAN immobilisers feature a mode called 'Service Mode that is activated with a simple push of a phone button. The car is still operated, but the maximum speed is restricted to 36 mph for added security.

If you'd like more information about the TASSA accredited ghost immobiliser, call us today to book an appointment 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's manuals, installation certificate, Ghost 2 emergency card and security assurance.

Simple process to change the PIN code

Ghost is the latest generation of device that protects your vehicle without cutting wires or installing key fobs from an aftermarket. It connects directly to your vehicle's CAN data network and a unique PIN code is programmed into it using buttons on your steering wheel & dash. The device doesn't emit RF signals, therefore it cannot be bypassed. This makes it difficult to be detected using sophisticated RF scanning and code grabbing technologies that are used by modern thieves.

The PIN code sequence can be changed whenever you wish to lock out previous drivers and even includes an override option in the event of lost sequences. The installer will demonstrate how to do this during installation. The system has a valet-mode feature that can be used to temporarily disable pin input sequences so that the garage or mechanic can work on the vehicle without knowing the code. This is a great option for customers who don't want their PIN sequence to be revealed but still would like to leave their vehicle with valet parking or service.

Contrary to Thatcham products that require additional key-fobs in order to operate, ghost immobiliser fitting 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 via the app for ghost immobiliser problems smartphones, meaning that no additional LEDs are being thrown, and your vehicle is safe from the risk of being disabled by hackers or other technology.

Tested for every vehicle

Unlike key fobs that require you to press buttons on them the ghost immobiliser is hidden under your steering wheel or dash to make sure you are unaware it's there. The device is connected to the vehicle's CAN data network and a personalised PIN code is inserted using buttons that are already present on your vehicle. The system stops your engine from running until the code has been entered before. This means that thieves are unable to duplicate the keys of your vehicle or gain access to the OBD to hack into it.

Ghost can be fitted in all vehicles, including electric cars, motorhomes, vans and bikes. Ghost is also extremely flexible and can be set to deactivate under different circumstances. It is possible to program it to enter Valet mode, for instance, when the vehicle is transferred to a valet service or parking company. This means that your vehicle can be operated within a specified 30mph speed limit, and the ghost immobiliser will reactivate itself once it is returned to your home.

Another fantastic feature is that the device can be reset to the personalized PIN at any time. This is useful if you forget the code or the device ceases to function, meaning that it's effectively as good as new again.

It's also important to note that the device is completely undetectable to anyone who isn't familiar with it. It does this by analyzing the buttons on your dashboard and steering wheel, and using the data it sends to identify the exact button that was pressed. This makes it a safe and reliable security solution that cannot be compromised by jamming, RF scanning, or door lock pick sets.
