Ghost Immobiliser 2

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

In contrast to trackers, Ghost does not transmit radio frequency signals and can't be detected by diagnostic tools. It does not have any LED indicators or buttons that could signal its presence in your car or van.

Anti-key Cloning

The ghost immobiliser is designed to combat key hacking and cloning. The device is connected to your vehicle's data network CAN, and creates a unique pin number by 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 running which makes it impossible to leave with joy and pride.

Ghost immobilisers employ new technology that is very difficult for thieves to defeat. Contrary 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 can't be recognized by ordinary thieves since it doesn't emit any radio signals and is completely silent.

This next generation immobiliser is capable of protecting your vehicle from a variety of threats, including cloned keys, key-hacking and relay attacks. It is also able to stop thieves from acquiring an additional key or replacing your ECU in the sense that it will not allow them to start your car without entering the correct PIN code first.

The ghost immobiliser 2 unlike other immobilisers does not require an external remote or key fob to operate. It can be turned off using an app that is installed on the smartphone of the driver. This is a great option when you have to hand your car away for valet parking, or for maintenance without keys.

The Autowatch Ghost-II represents the latest version of the Ghost immobiliser. It was designed to be as simple and convenient to use as it is possible, while remaining as secure as ever. This is done by integrating the Ghost-II into the vehicle's data network CAN, which means there aren't any additional wires to hide or be easily located. It also comes with an inbuilt feature that allows you to disarm the Ghost-II simply by connecting it to your vehicle's Bluetooth.

OBD port hacking

OBD port hacking is the latest method being used by professional car thieves to steal cars. Thieves have access to your vehicle's OBD by using a laptop, a mobile application, and cables that can be bought on the internet for less than PS50. Once they have access to your vehicle's OBD port, they can do whatever they like from resetting fault codes and tuning your car to taking away your pride and joy in just a few seconds.

It will protect your car from being taken away by requiring a unique PIN code to be entered along with your key fob prior to you start the engine or leave. It does this by communicating with the vehicles ECU (Engine Control Unit) on the CAN Data circuit and is indetectable to any scan or code grabbing technology. It comes with a Service/Valet mode that allows your vehicle to start without the PIN code.

To use an OBD hacking device you require an operating system that is capable of reading the OBD protocol, which is available for less than PS100 on eBay or Amazon. You will also need an OBD cable that has OBD pins that are connected to the CAN bus, these can be found on Amazon/Ebay for about 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 access to the OBD port on your vehicle, they can send diagnostics to the system with 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 stall, doors to lock and even the brakes to engage.

No need for additional remotes or key fobs

A car immobiliser is great piece of anti theft technology that is used by billions of modern cars all over the world. An aftermarket immobiliser protects your vehicle with engine ECU software that prevents cars from starting if an untrue transponder signal is sent.

It is possible for a thief, if they know the code that disables an immobiliser, and bypass it. The battery in most key fobs can be removed by removing it and a burglar can use a simple tool to take out the immobiliser's circuit board and replace it with an empty. Then, they will be able to start your vehicle.

With the TASSA approved Ghost 2 immobiliser, there are no additional keys or remotes needed. The immobiliser communicates directly with the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit). This is done through a discrete, silent data loop in the CAN which is not detected by diagnostic tools such as the ones used by high-tech thieves. It does not also utilize a traditional key fob with LED indicators, so it can go undetected at a glance.

There will be instances where you have to disable Autowatch Ghost 2's automatic protection for example, when you are doing a valet parking or servicing. The ghost CAN immobiliser comes with a specific mode for this, referred to as 'Service Mode which can be activated with just the touch of a button on your smartphone. The car can still be operated however its maximum speed will be restricted to 36mph for greater security.

If you'd like to learn more about the TASSA certified ghost immobiliser, please contact us today to book a demonstration at our workshop. A member of our team will explain how the system works, and give you your ghost immobiliser fitting near me 2 emergency card, installation certificate, and security assurance.

Simple change of PIN code

Ghost is the next-generation device that secures your car without cutting wires or installing aftermarket key fobs. It connects directly to the vehicle's CAN data network. A personalised PIN is programmed using buttons on the steering wheel and dash. The system stops engine start and can't be bypassed because no RF signals are emitted from the device. This makes it unrecognisable by sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing technology that modern thieves employ.

The PIN code sequence can be altered anytime you want to block previous drivers and even includes an override code in the event of lost sequences. The installer will show you the procedure to accomplish this during installation. The system comes with a valet-mode feature that allows you to temporarily disable pin input sequences so that the garage or mechanic can service the vehicle without having to know the code. This is a great choice for those who do not wish their pin sequence to be disclosed, but want to leave their car with valet parking or service.

Ghost is an unobtrusive system that utilizes the buttons on your car to create an individual and interchangeable PIN sequence. The sequence is entered using the smartphone app. No additional LED indicators are used, and your vehicle will be protected without any possibility of being disabled.

Tested for each vehicle

A ghost immobiliser, in contrast to key fobs which require pressing buttons, is discretely installed under the steering wheel or dash. You won't even know it's there. The device is connected to your vehicle's CAN data network and a personalised PIN code is programmed into it using buttons that are already present on your vehicle. The system will then stop your engine from running until the code is entered before. This means that thieves cannot duplicate your keys or gain access to the OBD port to hack into your vehicle.

Ghost is a feature that can be found in all vehicles including electric cars, vans motorhomes, and bikes. Ghost is also extremely flexible and can be programmed to turn off in a variety of situations. For instance, it can be set to enter Valet mode when the car is taken to a valet parking or servicing company. This means that your vehicle can be operated within a specified 30mph speed limit and 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 code. This is great if you lose the code or when the device ceases to function.

It's also worth noting that the device is undetectable to anyone who isn't familiar with it. This is because it runs through existing buttons on your car's dashboard and steering wheel and utilizes the information they send to recognise which button has been pressed. This makes it a secure and solid security system that is not able to be tampered by RF scanning, jamming, or a door lock pick set.
