10 Key Factors Concerning Ghost Immobiliser 2 You Didn't Learn In…

Ghost Immobiliser 2

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

Unlike trackers Ghost does not transmit any radio frequency signals and cannot be detected with diagnostic tools. Also, it doesn't have any LED indicators or buttons that can give away its presence within your car or van.

Anti-key Cloning

The ghost immobiliser has been designed to combat key cloning and hacking. This device connects to the CAN data network in your vehicle and generates a unique pin code push sequence using the factory buttons on your dashboard and the steering wheel. This stops the thief from being able to start your vehicle. If the wrong PIN code is entered, your engine will not be started which makes it impossible for them to drive away with your pride and joy.

Ghost immobilisers are new technology that is extremely hard for thieves to beat. In contrast to physical deterrents such as wheel locks and steering locks which can be cut or stolen the ghost immobiliser is a discrete electronic device that isn't recognized by ordinary thieves since it doesn't emit any radio signals and works silently.

This next-generation immobiliser can protect your car against a variety of threats, such as key-hacking, relay attacks and duplicate copies. It also has the ability to stop thieves from acquiring an additional key or replacing your ECU in the sense that it will not allow the car to start without entering the correct PIN code before entering.

In contrast to other immobilisers the ghost immobiliser 2 doesn't require any additional remote or key fobs for operation. It is able to be deactivated by the driver's smartphone using a simple app. This makes it ideal for those occasions when you have to hand your car over to valet parking or for servicing without key fobs.

The Autowatch Ghost-II is the latest evolution of our ground-breaking ghost immobiliser. It is designed to be easy and convenient to use, while still being as secure as it can be. This is achieved by linking the Ghost-II with the vehicle's CAN data network, which means there are no extra wires that can be hidden or easily spotted. It also features an inbuilt feature that lets you to disable your Ghost-II by connecting to the vehicle's Bluetooth and you'll be able to enter and drive without any hassle.

OBD port hacking

OBD port hacking has become the latest technique used by professional car thieves. Thieves can gain access to your vehicle's OBD by using the help of a laptop, mobile application, and a few cables that can be bought online for less than PS50. Once they have access, they can do whatever they want, from resetting your vehicle's fault codes to tuning your car, or even taking it away in under a minute.

It can prevent your car from being stolen by requiring a unique PIN number to be entered along with your key fob prior to you can start the engine or drive away. It communicates with the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) by using the CAN Data Circuit. This is completely undetectable by any scanning technology, RF or code grabbing. It also has a Service/Valet Mode that allows your vehicle to start with no PIN code.

To make use of an OBD hacking device you need to have a laptop that has software capable of interpreting the OBD protocol. This can be purchased for under PS100 on ebay or Amazon. You'll also require cables with OBD pins which are connected to the CAN bus, these can be found on Amazon/Ebay for around PS50. The cable must be spliced into the wiring harness of your car, 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 using high baud rates that will cause a crash of the car's CAN and stop the system from functioning. This could cause the engine to stop, doors to lock and even the brakes to activate.

There is no need for additional remotes or key fobs

A car immobiliser is excellent piece of anti-theft technology that is used by billions of modern cars around the world. An aftermarket immobiliser protects your vehicle with engine ECU software that blocks cars from starting when the transponder is false.

However, it can be easy for a thief to circumvent an immobiliser system in the event that they have access the code that allows them to disable it. The batteries in the majority of key fobs can be removed by prying it open which means that a burglar could employ a simple tool remove the immobiliser's internal circuit board and replace it with a blank. They will then be able start your car.

With the TASSA approved Ghost 2 immobiliser, there are no additional keys or remotes required. The immobiliser connects to the vehicle's engine ECU (Engine Control Unit) via a subtle, silent CAN data circuit that is unnoticeable with diagnostic tools, such as the ones used by high-tech thieves. It doesn't come with a traditional keyfob that has an LED indicators, which means it's not visible.

You may need to deactivate Autowatch's Ghost 2 auto protection at times like valet parking or during a service.

Simple PIN code Change Process

Ghost is the next-generation device that protects your car without cutting wires, or installing key fobs from an aftermarket. It is directly connected to the vehicle's CAN data network and a personalised PIN code is programmed in it via buttons on your steering wheel and dash. The system prevents engine start and cannot be bypassed because there are no RF signals emitted from the device. This makes it inaccessible to sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing techniques that modern thieves employ.

The PIN code sequence can be altered whenever you want to block previous drivers. It even comes with an override code incase of lost sequences. When installing the installer will show how to accomplish this. The system also has the valet mode feature that can be used to temporarily disable the pin input sequence to allow your mechanic or garage can repair the vehicle without needing to know the code. This is ideal for customers who want to hand over their vehicle for valet parking or service, but don't want to divulge the pin sequence.

Contrary to Thatcham products which require additional key fobs to operate, Ghost is a discreet system that makes use of the buttons on your car to create a unique and interchangeable PIN code sequence. The sequence is entered via the smartphone app, meaning that no additional LEDs are thrown and your car is safe from the risk of being disabled by hackers or other technology.

Tested for each vehicle

Contrary to key fobs which require you to press buttons on them the ghost immobiliser is hidden under the dash or steering wheel so that only you know that it's there. The device is connected to the CAN network in your vehicle and a PIN code can be programmed using the buttons on your car. The system won't allow your car to start until the code is entered. 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 used in all vehicles that use electric vehicles motorhomes, vans, and bikes. It is also extremely versatile and can be set to deactivate in various situations. It is possible to program it to go into Valet mode, for example, when the vehicle is taken to a valet service or parking company. This means that your car can be operated within a pre-determined 30mph speed limit and the ghost immobiliser will activate itself once it is returned to your home.

The device can be reset at anytime to your personal PIN code. This is great if you lose the code or in the event that the device becomes unusable.

It's also worth noting that the device is unnoticeable to anyone who isn't familiar with it. It does this by running through the buttons on your dashboard and steering wheel and analyzing the data they send in order to identify the button that was hit. This makes it a completely safe and reliable security solution that cannot be compromised by RF scanning, jamming or door lock pick sets.
