Secures your vehicle from key cloning and prevents thieves from driving your vehicle with original keys. Our latest immobiliser is connected to your vehicle’s data network via CAN and an individual PIN code has to be entered for the engine to start.
Ghost unlike trackers, doesn’t emit radio frequency signals and cannot be detected by diagnostic tools. It does not have any LED indicators or buttons that would indicate its presence in your car or van.
Anti-key Cloning
The ghost immobiliser was designed to combat key cloning and hacking. The device is connected to your vehicle’s CAN data network and creates an unique pin code using the factory buttons in your dashboard and steering. This stops the thief from being able to start your car. If the incorrect PIN is entered, it will prevent your engine from running, making it impossible to drive off with your joy and pride.
Ghost immobilisers use an innovative technology that is very difficult for thieves to beat. The ghost immobiliser is different from physical deterrents like wheel locks or steering locks that are able to be cut, is a discrete electronic device. It isn’t detected by thieves because it does not emit radio signals and functions in a quiet manner.
This next-generation immobiliser will protect your vehicle from a range of threats, such as key-hacking relay attacks, key hacking and duplicate copies. It also has the ability to stop thieves from acquiring the new key or replacing your ECU, as it will not allow the vehicle to start without entering the correct PIN number first.
The ghost immobiliser 2, unlike other immobilisers does not require a remote control or key fob to operate. It is deactivable using an app on the driver’s smartphone. This is ideal for the times you need to hand your car over for valet parking or for servicing without the key fobs.
The Autowatch ghost immobiliser installers near me-II represents the latest evolution of Ghost immobiliser. It is designed to make it as simple and user-friendly as possible while remaining as secure as possible. This is done by linking the Ghost-II into the vehicle’s data network CAN, meaning that there are no additional wires to hide or be easily identified. It also comes with built-in features that allow users to disable 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 are able to access your vehicle’s OBD by using a laptop, Ghost Immobiliser 2 a mobile app, and some cables that can be purchased on the internet for less than PS50. Once they have access, they are able to do whatever they want, from resetting your vehicle’s fault codes to tuning your car, or getting it stolen within a matter of minutes.
It can protect your vehicle from being stolen by requiring a specific PIN code to be entered in conjunction with your key fob before you start the engine or leave. It communicates with the vehicle’s ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN Data Circuit. This is undetectable by any scanners for RF or code grabbing. It even has a Service/Valet mode which will allow your vehicle to be started without needing the PIN code.
To make use of an OBD hacking device you need to have an operating system that is capable of interpreting the OBD protocol. This can be purchased for under PS100 on eBay or Amazon. You’ll also require a cable that has OBD pins connected to the CAN Bus. These cables are available on eBay or Amazon for PS50. The cable needs to be spliced into the wiring harness of your car, such as the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker has access to the OBD port of your vehicle, they can send diagnostics to the system using high baud rate which can cause a crash to the car’s CAN, and prevent the system from functioning. This could cause the engine to stall or even lock doors, and even the brakes to be engaged.
No additional key fobs or remotes required
The car immobiliser is a great piece of anti-theft technology that is used by billions modern vehicles all over the world. An aftermarket immobiliser safeguards your vehicle through the use of engine ECU software that stops vehicles from starting when an untrue transponder signal is sent.
It is possible for thieves to know the code that disables an immobiliser, to bypass it. The battery inside most key fobs can be easily removed by prying it open and a burglar can employ a simple tool remove the immobiliser’s inner circuit board and replace it with a blank. Then they will be in a position to start your car.
The TASSA approved Ghost 2 is an immobiliser that does not require any additional keys or remotes. The immobiliser connects to the engine ECU (Engine Control Unit) via a discrete, silent data circuit in CAN that is not detectable by diagnostic tools, such as the ones used by high-tech thieves. It does not also make use of a traditional key-fob that has LED indicators, so it is able to go unnoticed at sight.
There will be times that you must deactivate Autowatch Ghost 2’s auto-protection, for example during the valet parking or service work. The ghost CAN immobiliser has a special mode for this, referred to as “Service Mode that can be activated with a push of the button on your smartphone. The car is still operational however, the maximum speed is restricted to 36mph.
Contact us today to arrange a demonstration at our workshop. A member of our team will run through the entire process of the process and will provide you with owner’s manuals, installation certificate, Ghost 2 emergency card and security guarantee.
Simple Change of PIN Code
Ghost is a next-generation device that protects your vehicle without cutting wires or installing aftermarket key fobs. It is directly connected to the vehicle’s CAN data network. A personalised PIN is set by pressing buttons on the dash and steering wheel. The device does not emit RF signals, therefore it is not able to be tampered with. This makes it undetectable by sophisticated scanning or code grabbing technologies that modern thieves use.
The PIN code sequence can be altered whenever you want to lock out previous drivers and even includes an override code in the event of forgotten sequences. When installing, the installer will demonstrate how to accomplish this. The system has a valet-mode feature that can be used to temporarily disable pin input sequences, so that your garage or mechanic can service the vehicle without having to know the pin number. This is a great option for those who do not wish their pin sequence to be divulged, but want to leave their car with valet parking or service.
Ghost is an unobtrusive system that utilizes the buttons on your vehicle to create an individual and interchangeable PIN sequence. This sequence is entered via the app on your smartphone. There are no additional LED indicators are thrown, and your vehicle will be protected without any chance of being disabled.
Tested for each vehicle
Contrary to key fobs which require you to press buttons on them, a ghost immobiliser is hidden under your dash or steering wheel so that you don’t even know it’s there. The device is connected to the CAN network in your vehicle, and a PIN code can be programmed using buttons on your vehicle. The system will then stop the engine from starting until the code has been entered first. This means that thieves can’t copy the keys to your car or use the OBD to hack into it.
Ghost can be used in all vehicles including electric cars, vans, motorhomes and bicycles. Ghost is also extremely flexible and can be set to disable in various situations. It is possible to program it to go into Valet mode, for example when your vehicle is transferred to a valet service or parking company. This means that your vehicle can be operated within a set 30mph speed limit. The ghost immobiliser will activate itself when it is returned to your possession.
The device can be reset at anytime to your personal PIN code. This is helpful if you forget the code or the device ceases to function which means it’s as good as new again.
The device is inaccessible to anyone who doesn’t know what it is. It does this by running through the buttons on your steering wheel and dashboard and analyzing the data they transmit to identify which button was hit. This makes it a secure and secure security system that can’t be manipulated through RF scanning or jamming, or even a door lock pick set.
