15 Up-And-Coming Ghost Immobiliser 2 Bloggers You Need To Watch

ghost car immobiliser Immobiliser 2

Secures your vehicle from key cloning and prevents thieves from driving it with original keys. Our most recent immobiliser is connected to the CAN data network in your vehicle and a unique PIN must be entered to start the engine.

Ghost, unlike trackers, doesn't emit radio frequency signals and cannot be detected by diagnostic tools. It also has no indicators in the form of LEDs or buttons that give the impression of its presence in your van or car.

Anti-key Cloning

The ghost immobiliser is designed to stop key hacking and cloning. The device is connected to your vehicle's CAN data network 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 vehicle. If the wrong PIN code is entered, your engine isn't able to start, making it impossible for them to escape with your pride and joy.

Ghost immobilisers use new technology that is very difficult for thieves to beat. The ghost immobiliser, unlike physical deterrents such as wheel locks and steering locks that are able to be cut, is a discrete electronic device. It can't even be recognized by thieves as it does not emit radio signals and is operated in a silent manner.

The new generation of immobiliser is equipped to shield your car from a range of threats including cloned keys, key-hacking and even relay attacks. It also has the ability to prevent thieves from adding a new key or replacing your ECU, as it will not allow them to start your car without entering the correct PIN code first.

In contrast to other immobilisers the ghost immobiliser 2 doesn't require a remote or key fobs for operation. It can be turned off through an app that is installed on the smartphone of the driver. This makes it perfect for those times when you have to hand your car over for valet parking or servicing without the key fobs.

The Autowatch Ghost-II is the latest version of our revolutionary ghost immobiliser. It was designed to be as easy and user-friendly as possible, but remains as secure as ever. This is achieved by connecting the Ghost-II into the vehicle's data network CAN, meaning that there are no additional wires to hide or easily found. It comes with an inbuilt feature that allows you to disarm the Ghost-II simply by connecting to the vehicle's Bluetooth.

OBD port hacking

OBD port hacking has become the latest technique used by professional car thieves. Thieves can access your vehicle's OBD port with nothing more than a laptop, an app, and a few cables that can be purchased on the internet 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 vehicle, or stealing it in under a minute.

It will protect your car from being stolen by requiring a specific PIN code to be entered along with your key fob before you can start the engine or drive away. It does this by interacting with the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN Data circuit and is indetectable to any code grabbing or RF scanning technology. It has a Service/Valet Mode that allows your vehicle to start with no PIN code.

To make use of an OBD hacking device, you'll must have an operating system that is capable of reading the OBD protocol. This can be bought for less than PS100 on ebay or Amazon. You will also require a cable that has OBD pins connected to CAN Bus. These cables can be purchased on Amazon/Ebay around PS50. You then need to splice the cable into the wiring harness of your car, for example, in the radio wiring harness.

Once the hacker has gained a connection to your vehicle's OBD port, they can send diagnostics requests to the system at high baud rates which can cause CAN to crash and block systems in your car from functioning. This could cause your car's engine to stop or shut down.

No need for additional remotes or key fobs

The car immobiliser is an excellent piece of anti-theft technology used by billions modern vehicles across the globe. An aftermarket immobiliser safeguards your vehicle through the use of engine ECU software that stops cars from starting if the transponder is false.

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

With the TASSA approved Ghost 2 immobiliser, there are no additional keys or remotes required. The immobiliser is directly connected to the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit). This is done through a discrete, silent CAN data loop that cannot be detected by diagnostic tools such as those used by high-tech thieves. It does not also utilize a traditional key fob with LED indicators, meaning it's not visible in plain sight.

You may have to turn off Autowatch's Ghost 2 auto protection at certain times like valet parking or during a service. Ghost CAN immobilisers come with a feature called 'Service Mode,' which you can activate by a simple push of a button on your phone. The car can still be operated however, the maximum speed is limited to 36 mph.

If you'd like to know more about the TASSA accredited ghost immobiliser, please contact us today to arrange a demonstration at our workshop. A member of the team will provide the entire process of the system's operation and provide you with your owner manuals, installation certification, Ghost 2 emergency card and security guarantee.

Simple process to change the PIN code

Ghost is a next generation device that secures your vehicle without cutting wires or installing aftermarket key fobs. It connects directly to your vehicle's CAN data network and a unique PIN code is programmed into it via buttons on your steering wheel & the dash. The device doesn't emit RF signals, which means it is unable to be manipulated. This makes it unrecognisable by sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing techniques that modern thieves employ.

The PIN code can be altered to block earlier drivers or include an override code in case you forget the sequence. The installer will show you the procedure to accomplish this during installation. The system also has the option of a valet mode that can be used to temporarily disable the pin input sequence so that your garage or mechanic can fix the vehicle without needing to know the pin code. This is ideal for customers who want to give their car to valet parking / service but don't want to divulge the PIN sequence.

Contrary to Thatcham products that require additional key-fobs to operate, Ghost is a discreet system which takes advantage of the buttons inside your vehicle to create a unique interchangeable PIN code sequence. The sequence is entered via the smartphone app, meaning that no additional LEDs are displayed and your vehicle is secure and safe from the possibility of being disabled by hackers or other technology.

Every vehicle is tested

A ghost immobiliser, unlike key fobs which require you to press buttons, is hidden under the dash or on the steering wheel. You won't even know it's there. The device is connected to your vehicle's CAN network and a PIN code can be programmed by using the buttons on your vehicle. The system won't permit your car to start until the code is entered. This means that thieves are unable to clone your car's existing keys or gain access to the OBD port to hack into your vehicle.

Ghost can be fitted in any vehicle, including electric cars, vans motorhomes, and bikes. It's also extremely flexible and can be programmed to deactivate in a variety of situations. It is possible to program it to go into Valet mode, for instance, when the vehicle is transferred to a valet service or parking company. This permits you to drive within a speed limit of 30 mph, and the ghost immobiliser will turn on itself when your vehicle is returned to your possession.

The device can be reset at any time using your personal PIN number. This is helpful in the event that you forget your code or the device ceases to function, meaning that it's effectively like new.

The device is also completely undetectable by anyone who doesn't know about it is. It does this by running through the buttons on your dashboard and steering wheel, and using the data they send in order to identify which button was pressed. This makes it a completely secure and reliable security option that isn't affected by jamming, RF scanning or door lock pick sets.
