Ghost Immobiliser 2
Secures your vehicle from key cloning, and stops thieves from driving the vehicle using 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
Ghost 2 immobiliser cannot be detected by diagnostic tools. It also has no LED indicators or buttons giving away its presence within your van or car.
Anti-key cloning
The Ghost immobiliser was designed to stop key cloning. The device is connected to your vehicle's CAN data network and creates a unique pin code using the factory buttons on your dashboard and steering. This stops the thief from being able to start your vehicle. If the wrong PIN code is entered, the engine cannot be started, making it impossible for them to leave with your pride and joy.
A ghost immobiliser uses new technology that is very difficult for thieves to beat. Contrary 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 can't be easily detected by regular thieves because 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 variety of threats like key-hacking, cloned keys and even relay attacks. It is also able 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 number first.
In contrast to other immobilisers the ghost immobiliser 2 does NOT require a key fobs or remotes to operate. It can be deactivated through an app on the driver's smartphone. This is a great option the time you have to give your car to valet parking, or for maintenance without keys.
The
autowatch ghost immobiliser Ghost-II is the latest evolution of our ground-breaking ghost immobiliser. It was designed to make it as easy and convenient to use, while still being as secure as possible. This is achieved by integrating the Ghost-II into the vehicle's data network CAN, meaning that there are no wires to hide or be easily identified. It also has a built-in feature that allows users to deactivate their Ghost-II by simply connecting to the vehicle's Bluetooth, so you can get in and drive, with no hassle.
OBD port hacking
OBD port hacking is a new technique employed by professional auto thieves to steal vehicles. Thieves are able to access your vehicle's OBD port with nothing more than a laptop, an app and a few cables that can be purchased online for less than PS50. Once they have access to your vehicle's OBD port, they are able to do whatever they want including changing fault codes and tuning your vehicle to stealing your pride and joy in less than a minute.
If you have an Ghost immobiliser, it can prevent your car from being stolen with this method by making sure that an unique PIN code sequence is entered alongside your key fob in order to start the engine and drive away. It communicates with the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) by using the CAN Data Circuit. It is not detected by any scanners for RF or code grabbing. It even comes with a Service/Valet option that allows your vehicle to start without needing the PIN code.
To make use of an OBD hacking device you must have a laptop that has software capable of reading the OBD protocol, which can be bought for less than PS100 on eBay or Amazon. You will also require a cable with OBD pins that are connected to the CAN Bus. These cables are available on eBay or Amazon for PS50. The cable must be connected to the wiring harness of your car, for example the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker has a connection to your vehicles OBD port, they will send diagnostics 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 vehicle's engine to stop or stop working.
There is no need for additional remotes or key fobs
The car immobiliser is a fantastic piece of anti-theft technology utilized by millions of modern cars all over the world. Using engine ECU software to prevent vehicles from starting if a false transponder signal is sent to it an aftermarket immobiliser can be an excellent method of protecting your vehicle.
However, it could be simple for a burglar to bypass an immobiliser system if they have access to the code that allows them to disable it. The batteries in the majority of key fobs can be removed by removing it and a burglar can employ a simple tool take out the immobiliser's circuit board and replace it with an empty. They'll then be able to start your car.
With the TASSA approved Ghost 2 immobiliser (
simply click the following internet site), there are no remotes or keys to be purchased. The immobiliser communicates directly with the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit). This is accomplished via a discrete, quiet CAN data loop that is not detected by diagnostic tools such as the ones used by high-tech thieves. It does not come with a traditional keyfob that has an LED indicators, so it's inaccessible.
There will be times when you need to deactivate Autowatch Ghost 2's automatic security for instance, during a valet parking or service job. The ghost CAN immobiliser has a special mode for this, referred to as "Service Mode' which can be activated with just a push of an app on your phone. The car is still operable however the maximum speed is restricted to 36mph.
If you'd like to learn more about the TASSA accredited ghost immobiliser, call us now to schedule a demonstration at our workshop. A member of our team will explain the process and provide you with your Ghost 2 emergency card, installation certificate, and security assurance.
Simple process to change the PIN code
Ghost is the latest generation of device that protects your car without cutting wires or installing key fobs from an aftermarket. It is directly connected to the vehicle's CAN data network, and a unique PIN code is programmed into it using buttons on your steering wheel & the dash. The system stops engine start and can't be re-enabled since no RF signals are generated from the device. This makes it difficult to detect by sophisticated scans of RF and code-grabbing techniques used by modern thieves.
The PIN code is able to be changed to block previous drivers or even include an override code if you forget the sequence. The installer will demonstrate the procedure to accomplish this during installation. The system comes with a valet-mode feature that can be used to temporarily disable pin input sequences, so that your garage or mechanic can work on the vehicle without knowing the pin number. This is a great option for customers who don't want their pin number to be divulged, but wish to leave their car with valet parking or service.
Ghost is a discrete system that uses the buttons on your vehicle to create a unique and interchangeable PIN sequence. This sequence is entered through the app for smartphones, meaning that no additional LEDs are being thrown, and your vehicle is protected with no risk of being disabled by hackers or other technology.
Every vehicle is tested
Contrary to key fobs which require you to press buttons, a ghost immobiliser is discreetly installed under your dash or steering wheel so that only you know it's there. The device is connected to your vehicle's CAN network and a PIN number can be programmed by using the buttons on your vehicle. The system will not allow your vehicle to start until this code is entered. This means that thieves cannot clone your car's existing keys or gain access to the OBD port to hack into your vehicle.
Ghost can be installed in any vehicle, including electric vehicles, motorhomes, vans, and bikes.
