Ghost Immobiliser 2
Secures your vehicle from key cloning and stops thieves from driving the vehicle using original keys. Our latest immobiliser connects to your vehicle’s data network, CAN, and the unique PIN code needs to be entered for the engine to begin.
Contrary to trackers Ghost does not transmit any radio frequency signals & can’t be detected using diagnostics tools. Ghost does not have LED indicators or buttons that could signal its presence in your car or van.
Anti-key Cloning
The Ghost immobiliser was developed to combat key 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 thieves from being able to start your car. If the incorrect PIN is entered it will stop your engine from starting which makes it impossible to drive off with joy and pride.
A Range rover sport Ghost Installer immobiliser is a new technology that is extremely hard for thieves to beat. The ghost immobiliser unlike physical deterrents, such as wheel locks and steering lock that can be cut, is a discreet electronic device. It can’t even be recognized by thieves as it emits no radio signals and functions in a quiet manner.
The next generation of immobilisers are able to protect your car from a myriad of threats like key-hacking, cloned keys and even relay attacks. It is also able to stop the thief from adding an additional key or replacing your ECU by ensuring that it does not allow the car to start without entering the correct PIN code first.
Unlike other immobilisers, the ghost immobiliser 2 does NOT require any additional remote or key fobs in order to operate. It can be deactivated by using an app that is installed on the smartphone of the driver. This is ideal when you need to give your car away for valet parking, or for maintenance without keys.
The Autowatch Ghost-II is the latest evolution of our ground-breaking ghost immobiliser. It is designed to make it as simple and user-friendly as possible while remaining as secure as it can be. This is accomplished by connecting the Ghost-II with the vehicle’s CAN data network. This means that there are no wires that can be hidden or easily discovered. It has built-in features that allow users to disable the Ghost-II simply by connecting to your vehicle’s Bluetooth.
OBD port hacking
OBD port hacking is the latest technique used by professional car thieves. Thieves have access to your vehicle’s OBD using a laptop, a mobile app, and some cables that are available online for less than PS50. Once they have access to your vehicle’s OBD port, they can do whatever they like from setting fault codes, and tuning your vehicle to taking your joy and pride away in less than a minute.
It will protect your car from being taken away by requiring a unique PIN number to be entered in conjunction with your key fob prior to you can start the engine or drive away. It does this by interacting with the vehicles ECU (Engine Control Unit) on the CAN Data circuit and is indetectable to any RF scanning or code grabbing technology. It comes with 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 are connected to the CAN bus. These cables are available on eBay or Amazon for around PS50. You will also require a cable that has OBD pins that are connected to the CAN Bus. These cables are available on eBay or Amazon for PS50. The cable needs to be spliced into the wiring harness of your car, like the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker has access to the OBD port of your vehicle, they can send diagnostics to the system at a high baud rate, which will crash the car’s CAN and prevent the system from functioning. This could cause your car’s engine to stop or shut down.
No need to purchase additional remotes or key fobs
A car immobiliser is excellent piece of anti-theft technology used by billions of modern cars all over the world. An aftermarket immobiliser safeguards your vehicle by using engine ECU software that blocks cars from starting when a false transponder is transmitted.
However, it can be easy for thieves to bypass an immobiliser system in the event that they have access the code to deactivate it. A thief could easily remove the battery from many key fobs by squeezing 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’ll be able to start your vehicle.
With the TASSA approved Ghost 2 immobiliser, there are no additional keys or remotes needed. The immobiliser communicates with engine ECU (Engine Control Unit) via a subtle, silent CAN data circuit that is unnoticeable with diagnostic tools such as those employed by high-tech thieves. It does not also use a traditional key-fob with LED indicators, meaning it can go undetected at sight.
It is possible to disable Autowatch’s Ghost 2 protection at times like valet parking or a service. The ghost CAN immobiliser has a special mode to do this, referred to “Service Mode that can be activated with just a push of a button on your phone. The car is still operational however, the maximum speed is restricted to 36mph.
If you’d like to learn more about the TASSA certified ghost immobiliser, contact us today to book a demonstration at our workshop. A member of our team will provide the entire process of how the system works and will provide you with owner’s manuals, installation certificates, Ghost 2 emergency card and security assurance.
Simple PIN code Change Process
Ghost is a next generation device that protects your vehicle without cutting wires or adding aftermarket key fobs. It connects directly to the vehicle’s CAN data network. A personal PIN can be set by pressing buttons on the dash and steering wheel. The device does not emit RF signals, so it is not able to be tampered with. This makes it undetectable by sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing techniques that modern thieves employ.
The PIN code can be changed to lock out previous drivers or even include an override code in case you forget the sequence. When installing, the installer will demonstrate how to accomplish this. The system includes a valet mode feature that can be used to temporarily disable pin input sequences so that the garage or mechanic can service the vehicle without knowing the code. This is a great option for those who don’t wish their pin sequence to be divulged, but would like to leave their vehicle with valet parking or service.
ghost 2 immobiliser review is an individual system that utilizes the buttons on your car to create an unique and interchangeable PIN sequence. This sequence is entered using the app for smartphones, meaning that no additional LEDs are displayed and your vehicle is protected with no risk of being disabled by hackers or any other technology.
Tested for every vehicle
Contrary to key fobs which require you to press buttons on them, a ghost immobiliser is discretely placed under the dash or steering wheel so that only you know that it’s there. The device is connected to your car’s CAN data networks and a personalised PIN code is programmed into it 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 can’t 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 vehicles, motorhomes, vans and bicycles. It’s also extremely flexible and can be programmed to deactivate in various situations. It can be programmed to go into Valet mode, for instance when the vehicle is transferred to a valet service or parking company. This allows you to drive your vehicle within the 30mph limit, and the ghost immobiliser will turn on itself when your vehicle returns to your home.
The device can be reset at any time to your personal PIN number. This is helpful in the event that you forget your code or the device ceases to function which means it’s just as good as new.
It’s also worth noting that the device is completely inaccessible to those who aren’t familiar with it. It does this by analyzing the buttons on your steering wheel and dashboard, and using the data they send in order to identify which button was activated. This makes it a safe and reliable security solution that can’t be tampered with by jamming, RF scanning, or door lock pick sets.
