Ghost Immobiliser 2

Protects your vehicle from key cloning and stops thieves from driving it with the original keys. Our most recent immobiliser connects to the CAN data network in your vehicle and a unique PIN has to be entered to start the engine.

In contrast to trackers, Ghost does not transmit any radio frequency signals and can't be detected with diagnostic tools. Also, it doesn't have any LED indicators or buttons giving the impression of its presence in your car or van.

Anti-key cloning

The Ghost immobiliser was created to stop key cloning. The device connects to the CAN data network in your vehicle and generates an unique pin code sequence that is activated by pressing the buttons that are factory-installed on your dashboard and steering wheel. This stops the criminal from being able to start your vehicle. If the incorrect PIN is entered it will prevent your engine from starting and making it impossible to leave with your pride and Joy.

A ghost immobiliser is a new technology that is extremely difficult for thieves to defeat. In contrast to physical deterrents such as wheel locks and steering locks which can be cut or stolen the ghost immobiliser is an invisible electronic device that isn't detected by common thieves since it doesn't emit any radio signals and operates in a silent manner.

This next generation immobiliser is able to protect your car from a range of threats, including keys that are duplicated, key-hacking, and relay attacks. It can also stop thieves from stealing keys or replacing your ECU because it won't permit them to start the vehicle without entering the correct PIN.

In contrast to other immobilisers the ghost immobiliser 2 does NOT require a key fobs or remotes to operate. It can be turned off by the driver's smartphone by using a simple app. This makes it perfect for the times you have to hand your car to valet parking or servicing without keys.

The Autowatch Ghost-II represents the latest evolution of Ghost immobiliser. It was designed to be as simple and easy to use as is possible, yet remains as secure as ever. This is achieved by integrating the Ghost-II into the vehicle's data network CAN, meaning that there aren't any additional wires to hide or be easily located. It comes with built-in features that allow you to disarm the Ghost-II simply by connecting it 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 by using the help of a laptop, mobile application, and a few cables that can be purchased on the internet for less than PS50. Once they have access to your vehicle's OBD port, they will be able to do whatever they like, from setting fault codes, and tuning your car to stealing your pride and joy in under a minute.

It can prevent your car from being taken away by requiring a unique PIN code to be entered in conjunction with your key fob before you can start the engine or drive away. It does this by interacting with the vehicles ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN Data circuit, and is completely undetectable to any code grabbing or RF scanning technology. 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 with software capable of interpreting the OBD protocol. These can be bought for less than PS100 on ebay or Amazon. You'll also require a cable with 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 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 at a high baud rate that will cause a crash of the car's CAN, and prevent the systems from working. This can cause your car's engine to stop or lock up.

No need for additional remotes or key fobs

The car immobiliser is an excellent piece of anti-theft technology used by billions modern vehicles all over the world. Using engine ECU software to prevent vehicles from starting if a fake transponder signal is transmitted to it an aftermarket immobiliser is an excellent way to safeguard your vehicle.

However, it is easy for thieves to bypass an immobiliser system in the event that they have access the code to deactivate it. The batteries in the majority of key fobs is easily removed by prying it open and a burglar can make use of a simple tool to remove the immobiliser's internal circuit board and replace it with the blank. Then, they will be able to start your car.

With the TASSA approved Ghost 2 immobiliser, there are no additional keys or remotes needed. The immobiliser is directly connected to the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit). This is accomplished by a discrete and silent CAN data loop that cannot be detected by diagnostic tools, such as those used by high-tech thieves. It does not also use a traditional key-fob with LED indicators, which means it can go undetected at a glance.

There will be times that you must deactivate Autowatch Ghost 2's automatic protection for example, when you are doing a valet parking or service job. Ghost CAN immobilisers come with a feature called 'Service Mode that is activated with the push of a phone button. The car is still operational however, the maximum speed is limited to 36mph.

If you'd like more information about the TASSA accredited ghost immobiliser, contact us today to book a demonstration in our workshop. A member of the team will give you a full breakdown of the system's operation and provide you with owner's manuals, installation certificates, Ghost 2 emergency card and security assurance.

Simple change of PIN code

Ghost is a next-generation device that protects your vehicle without cutting wires or adding aftermarket key fobs. It is directly connected to the vehicle's CAN data network. A personalised PIN can be set by pressing buttons on the steering wheel and dash. The device doesn't emit RF signals, therefore it cannot be bypassed. This makes it difficult to detect by sophisticated scanning and RF techniques employed by modern thieves.

The PIN code is able to be changed to lock out earlier drivers or include an override number if you forget the sequence. When installing the installer will show how to do this. The system also includes the valet mode feature that can be used to temporarily disable the pin input sequence to allow your garage or mechanic can service the vehicle without needing to know the pin code. This is a great choice for those who don't wish their pin sequence to be disclosed, but want to leave their car with valet parking or service.

Contrary to Thatcham products which require additional key fobs to operate, Ghost is a discreet system which takes advantage of the buttons in your vehicle to create a unique interchangeable PIN code sequence. This sequence is entered through the smartphone app, meaning no extra LED indications are thrown and your car is safe from the risk of being disabled by hackers or any other technology.

Every vehicle is tested

Contrary to key fobs which require you to press buttons, a ghost immobiliser is hidden under your dash or steering wheel to make sure you are unaware that it's there. The device is connected to the CAN network of your vehicle and a PIN number can be programmed using the buttons on your vehicle. The system will not allow your car to start until this code is entered. This means that thieves cannot clone the keys of your car or use the OBD to hack into it.

Ghost can be utilized in all vehicles that use electric vehicles motorhomes, vans, motorhomes and bikes. It's also extremely versatile and can be programmed to deactivate in various scenarios. It can be programmed to go into Valet mode, for example, when the vehicle is transferred to a valet service or parking company. This allows you to drive within a speed limit of 30 mph and the ghost immobiliser will start to activate itself when your vehicle returns to your home.

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

The device is also completely unnoticed by anyone who doesn't know about it is. This is due to it running through existing buttons on your car's dashboard and steering wheel and utilizes the information they send to recognise which button has been hit. This makes it a secure and reliable security option that cannot be compromised by RF scanning, jamming or door lock pick sets.
