Ghost Immobiliser 2
Guards your vehicle from key cloning and stops 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 has to be entered to begin the engine.
Unlike trackers Ghost does not transmit any radio frequency signals and can’t be detected by diagnostic tools. There are also no LED indicators or buttons giving away its presence within your vehicle or van.
Anti-key Cloning
The ghost immobiliser has been designed to stop key cloning and tracker hacking. This device connects to your vehicle’s CAN data network and creates a unique pin code push sequence by using the buttons from the factory 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 running and making it impossible to drive off with your pride and Joy.
Ghost immobilisers are new technology that is extremely difficult for thieves to defeat. Contrary to physical deterrents, such as wheel locks and steering locks that can be cut off or jacked the ghost immobiliser is an invisible electronic device that can’t be recognized by ordinary thieves because it doesn’t emit radio signals and works silently.
This next-generation immobiliser will protect your car against a variety of threats, such as key-hacking relay attacks, key hacking and copied copies. It can also stop thieves from stealing keys or replacing your ECU as it won’t allow them to start the car without first entering the correct PIN code.
Unlike other immobilisers, the ghost immobiliser 2 does NOT require any additional remote or key fobs in order to operate. It is able to be deactivated by the driver’s smartphone with a simple application. This makes it perfect for those times when you have to hand your car over to valet parking or maintenance without keys.
The Autowatch Ghost-II represents the latest evolution of Ghost immobiliser. It was designed to make it as simple and user-friendly as possible while remaining as secure as it can be. This is accomplished by integrating the Ghost-II into the vehicle’s data network CAN, meaning that there are no wires to hide or easily identified. It comes with an inbuilt feature that allows you to deactivate the Ghost-II simply by connecting it to the vehicle’s Bluetooth.
OBD port hacking
OBD port hacking has become the latest method used by professional car thieves. Thieves can access your vehicle’s OBD port with no more than an laptop, an app, and a few cables which can be bought online for less than PS50. Once they have access, they will be able to do whatever they want to do, from resetting your vehicle’s fault codes, tuning your car, tracker or even getting it stolen within a matter of minutes.
It can protect your vehicle from being taken away by requiring a unique PIN sequence to be entered in conjunction with your key fob prior to you can start the engine or leave. It communicates with the vehicle’s ECU (Engine Control Unit), using the CAN Data Circuit. This is completely undetectable by any RF scanning technology or code grabbing. It also includes a Service/Valet mode that allows your vehicle to be started without the need for a PIN.
You’ll also require a cable with OBD pins that connect to the CAN bus. These cables can be found on eBay or Amazon for around PS50. You’ll also require cables with OBD pins that are connected to the CAN bus. These are available on eBay and Amazon for about PS50. The cable must be connected to the wiring harness of your car, like the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker has gained a connection to your vehicle’s OBD port, they are able to send diagnostics to the system at a high baud rate which can cause CAN to crash and block systems in your vehicle from functioning. This can cause the engine to stop and doors to lock, or even the brakes to activate.
No remotes or keys are required.
A car immobiliser is a excellent piece of anti-theft technology that is used by millions of modern vehicles all over the world. An aftermarket immobiliser safeguards your vehicle by using engine ECU software that prevents cars from starting when the transponder is false.
However, it can be easy for a thief to bypass an immobiliser system when they have access to the code that allows them to disable it. The battery inside most key fobs is easily removed by removing it and a burglar can use a simple tool to take out the immobiliser’s circuit board and replace it with a blank. Then, they’ll be in a position to start your vehicle.
With the TASSA approved Ghost 2 immobiliser, there are no additional keys or remotes needed. The immobiliser connects to the vehicle’s engine ECU (Engine Control Unit) via a subtle, silent CAN data circuit that is not detectable by diagnostic tools such as the ones employed by high-tech thieves. It also does not use a traditional key-fob with LED indicators, meaning it can go undetected at sight.
It is possible to disable Autowatch’s ghost immobiliser birmingham 2 protection at certain times, such as during valet parking or a service job. The ghost CAN immobiliser has a dedicated mode to do this, referred to ‘Service Mode’ which can be activated with just a push of an app on your phone. The car is still operated however the maximum speed is restricted to 36 mph for added security.

Simple Change of PIN Code
Ghost is the latest generation of device that secures your car without cutting wires or installing key fobs from an aftermarket. It connects directly with the vehicle’s CAN data network. A personalised PIN is created using buttons on the steering wheel and dash. The device doesn’t emit RF signals, therefore it cannot be bypassed. This makes it impossible to be detected by sophisticated RF scanning and code grabbing technologies employed by modern thieves.
The PIN code sequence can be changed whenever you want to lock out prior drivers, and it even has an override code incase of a sequence that is not remembered. When installing, the installer will demonstrate how to do this. The system also comes with a valet mode feature which can be used to temporarily disable the pin input sequence to allow your mechanic or garage can fix the car without having to know the code. This is a great option for those who do not wish their pin sequence to be revealed but still would like to leave their vehicle with valet parking or service.
Ghost what is a ghost immobiliser a discrete system that uses the buttons on your vehicle to create a unique and interchangeable PIN sequence. The sequence is entered using the smartphone app. No extra LED indicators are thrown out, and your car is protected without chance of being disabled.
Tested for each vehicle
A ghost immobiliser, in contrast to key fobs that require you to press buttons, is hidden under the steering wheel or dash. You won’t even know it’s there. The device is connected to the car’s CAN data networks and a personalised PIN code is programmed by using the buttons already on your car. The system will then stop your engine from starting unless the code has been entered before. 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, including electric cars, vans, motorhomes and bicycles. It’s also incredibly versatile and can be programmed to shut down in various situations. For instance, it can be programmed to go into Valet mode when the vehicle is taken to a valet park or a service provider. This means that your vehicle can be operated within a set 30mph speed limit. The ghost immobiliser will be activated once it is returned to your home.
The device can be reset at anytime to your personal PIN code. This is beneficial when you forget the code or the device ceases to function and is as good as new again.
It’s also worth noting that the device is completely undetectable to anyone who isn’t familiar with it. This is due to it running through existing buttons on your car’s dashboard and steering wheel, and uses the data they send to identify the button that was hit. This makes it a safe and reliable security solution that isn’t affected by RF scanning, jamming or door lock pick sets.
